Chapter 33 Rafferty called that guy over .
He was a blonde , barely in his twenties .
But from the way he talked , it was clear he knew his stuff .
He had modified plenty of race cars and had a knack for pinpointing exactly what was wrong with a vehicle .
Calliope had a chat with him and secured his help for Saturday .
Moneys not an issue , but I need you to fix that car and make sure its running perfectly .
I cant have anything happening to it , Calliope said seriously to the young mechanic .
Dont worry , this is what I do best .
If youre his friend , the money doesnt matter .
After he left , Rafferty , ever the curious one , asked , Who are you helping out ? My bro , Norton Shepherd , Calliope replied , her eyes thoughtful .
You met him once when he came around looking for me .
Oh , I remember him .
Hes a racer ? Yeah , he participates in races from time to time .
Her thoughts drifted back to her previous life .
Shed never received any care from her own brothers since a kid ; in fact , there were other three brothers whod always been showing much family affection to her .
These brothers had been adopted by her grandfather and had always looked out for her when she was a child .
Even after she returned to the Jewell family , whenever she visited the countryside , they went out of their way to make her feel cherished .
She regretted neglecting them , even arguing with them over her biological brothers .
Her heart ached at the memories .
In her past life , Norton had been in an accident during a race the very race that was looming now .
The thought of how Norton had suffered haunted her .
She had been too late to save him , and his life had become a living nightmare .
If only shed ignored Valerian , nothing wouldnt have happened to Norton , and even if there was , it wouldnt have been that severe .
Later on , when she intended to make up for it , it was futile .
Norton had already caught in a miserable state .
But this time , she vowed , things would be different .
She would protect Norton , ensure nothing happened to him .
That evening , back at home , Calliope was preoccupied with thoughts of Norton and Silas .
Silas had left that morning in a huff , and she wanted to make it up to him that night .
She even cooked a few dishes herself .
But she waited until midnight , and Silas never came home .
Instead , she received a text saying he wouldnt be back he had to go on a business trip .
Calliopes heart sank ; it seemed Silas was really upset .
By Saturday , Silas still hadnt returned .
On the day , Calliope put Silas out of her mind .
She contacted the young mechanic and discussed potential , issues .
By evening , they headed straight to the race track .
The race was set to take place on a winding mountain road 1/2 16:10 nearby .
When Calliope arrived , the place was buzzing with people .
She immediately spotted Valerian , who was standing with Lisette , who was wearing a white sundress , smiling warmly at him .
As she turned , Lisette noticed Calliope .
