Chapter 164 Is It Worth It?

He could persuade others, but he had no way with Jean Eyer when she was stubbornly in a temper. “There’s still six

days. I will practice and minimize the risks.” Jean Eyer had thought this out well.

Ben Ludwig saw her firm gaze and was momentarily speechless. Jean Eyer flashed a smile all of a sudden. “Don’t

worry, I’ll be fine.”

It was that smile that hurt Edgar Royden’s eyes. His rage was written all over his face. Even Ben Ludwig, a racer

with experience, had such bad injuries in a situation like that. Why should she race for him?

And to break the record! Why did this woman have to gamble her life?

If he had known earlier, he wouldn’t have kept her. The frosty air that came from Edgar Royden lingered for a long

time. Everyone in the office could sense his displeasure, including Ben Ludwig. It was almost as if because of Jean

Eyer going on that Edgar Royden…

“Jean Eyer, come out.”

Edgar Royden looked away and left with big strides. Ben Ludwig subconsciously wanted to follow, but Jean Eyer

shook her head. “Go prepare at the training ground. I’ll be there shortly.” “But…”

“Ben Ludwig, there’s no chance.” She strode away, following Edgar Royden into a different office. Sonny Kalzarc

was at the side pondering. He asked Ben Ludwig in a low voice, “Can she persuade Mr. Royden?”

“I don’t know.” Ben Ludwig looked away, his eyes filled with frost. He only found out after the operation that the two

internationally known orthopedic specialists were only invited because of Edgar Royden.

Which also meant that this life that he had was saved by Edgar Royden. But that man might have only done so

because of Jean Eyer. Every time Ben Ludwig thought about this, he was annoyed and angry.

“Should we go to the training ground first?” Franklin asked softly. “Staying here isn’t a solution.”

Someone added, “That’s right. If Jean Eyer insists on going on, we must make sure our examinations are done well

so that what happened last time won’t happen again.”

Jean Eyer was the last hope for them.

“What do you think, Ben Ludwig?” Sonny Kalzarc still respected his wishes since he brought Jean Eyer into the

racing team.

“Jean Eyer technically isn’t one of our racers. Sonny Kalzarc, please go through the formalities. I don’t want others

to have an opportunity to make things difficult for us.” Ben Ludwig said this while glancing at Mr. Hoffer.

That gaze was cold to the bone.

Mr. Hoffer immediately gave a dry chuckle. “I’m not that kind of person. I hope your racing team can have a

comeback.”

“You better keep your word. Otherwise, I’ll trash your rotten association,” said Ben Ludwig fiercely, before leading

the rest of the racing team to the training ground.

He couldn’t help but admit that there wasn’t another way. He was still recovering, and he didn’t have enough

strength in his elbow and waist. If he really went on, he might not come back again.

But did Jean Eyer really have to take this risk for him?

Ben Ludwig stared at the racetrack in the distance, his eyes heavy.

In the other office, Edgar Royden turned around and stared at Jean Eyer once the door closed. “You don’t want your

life because of Ben Ludwig?”

His hands held her shoulders tightly.

His pressure was scarily strong. Jean Eyer gasped in pain.

Her frail body withstood the pain under his grasp and squeezed a sliver of a smile on her face. “You’re only an

investor. You can only control a glutton like Mr. Hoffer.”

She acknowledged that those with money could ask for the sun and the moon.

But even if she risked her own life, she wanted to fight him to the death.

“Furthermore, what does my life or death have to do with you?”

“You…” Edgar Royden’s eyes were sharp, and there was like a stone stuck in his chest. He loathed the stubbornness

of this woman before his eyes.

Why couldn’t she be like Gigi Reece and learn how to please him?

Why did they have to go head-to-head like this?

She knew that she’d be shattered to pieces if she went against him like that.

“Alright, if you don’t even value your own life, do whatever you want.” He gritted his teeth and finally said that

before throwing his hands and walking away without turning around.

The more he walked, the stronger the rage in his chest grew.

“Mr. Royden.”

Miles was waiting at the entrance with others.

Edgar Royden was supposed to have an extremely important meeting today. He only rushed here because he

received last minute news that the Racing Association would change their judgement.

“Back to the office.” Edgar Royden furrowed his brow. His restrained gaze was still sharp as usual.

While they were on the way, he instructed, “Check Mr. Hoffer’s recent finances.”

If there was someone playing tricks behind his back and misusing the name of the Eyer Group, they couldn’t blame

him for turning his back on them.

The look of desperation that Jean Eyer had for Ben Ludwig was swirling in his mind. His brows wrinkled, and he was

all the more unhappy.

The car stopped at the entrance of the Eyer Group, and Edgar Royden’s long legs made its way up the stairs. An

idea suddenly came to his mind. Maybe Jean Eyer wasn’t doing it purely because of Ben Ludwig. Maybe she wanted

to go up against him?

Maybe she was thinking of taking revenge for the bankruptcy of the Eyer Group.

When he thought of this, Edgar Royden’s face wasn’t as cold as just now.

Miles was stunned when he saw this from behind. What was happening to Mr. Royden today?

In the afternoon that day, Jean Eyer started to train in the car. She drove again and again, striving to achieve the

best speed in every corner.

It was just that she hadn’t been the main racer in a while.

Although the speed kept increasing, it was still impossible to break the record.

Sonny Kalzarc looked at the statistical data and shook his head at Ben Ludwig. “Tell her to stop trying. It has to be

beyond human limits. Otherwise, it’s virtually impossible.”

The anticipatory light seen in the eyes of Franklin and the racing team slowly faded. One by one, they hung their

heads dejectedly and left the training ground.

Jean Eyer got out of the car again. Only Ben Ludwig was left.

She took off the helmet and asked in a low voice, “It’s still too slow?”

She turned her head to look at the yellow sand on the field. She pursed the corner of her lips tightly, trying to figure

out where she could increase her speed.

“Jean Eyer.”

Ben Ludwig walked to her one step at a time. Between the handrail, he pulled her by the shoulders.

He stood a little taller, so Jean Eyer had to look up at him. “Hm?”

“Forget it.”

As he was saying it, the curve of his lips deepened. “I can’t bear to see you so tired.”

“What about the racing team? It’s a half-year suspension, can all of you hold out until then? It’s not just the

finances, but also…”

Before she could finish, she saw that Ben Ludwig’s eyes had sunk.

After knowing him for so long, he’d yet to show such composure. Jean Eyer swallowed the rest of what she was

going to say.

The Ben Ludwig in front of her was extremely calm.

“I can rebuild the racing team if it’s gone. But I can’t bear to lose you again.”

Previously, Jean Eyer and Edgar Royden had only gotten married because he’d been too rebellious.

He wouldn’t miss the opportunity again.

Jean Eyer wrinkled her brows. Before she could say anything, Ben Ludwig laughed. “You could give up the

opportunity to study overseas for Edgar Royden. Is it that hard for me not to race for half a year? Even if I couldn’t

race for the rest of my life, I’d accept it.”

Jean Eyer shook her head.

“Let me try again.”

She turned around and headed for the training ground again.

Ben Ludwig’s gaze was fixed on her. He saw the car move, and he took out his cellphone to call Farra Emilio.

“Mom, I’ve thought about it. I don’t want to race anymore in the future.”

Farra Emilio’s excited voice came from the other side. “Really? Bennie, it’s great that you came to this decision.”

The husband and wife had tried to convince Ben Ludwig many times, but he couldn’t be persuaded. He was

obsessed with racing.

“I’ll go home and take over the business like you wanted me to.”

Farra Emilio was smiling from ear to ear on the other side.

“But, I have a condition.”
