r 215 Regina’s Moment of GloryÂ
Jordan felt like the world had tilted on its axis.Â
Nancy grew worried that the news was too shocking for him. “Jordan, are you alright?”Â
“.. I think so. I just need a moment to process it all,” he said, placing a hand over his heart. “Does Fergus and the others know about this?”Â
“No, and you can’t tell them either.”Â
“Of course I won’t,” Jordan swore. “But it’s no wonder they’ve all been acting like that. If they ever found out about this, they’d be lining up to kiss your feet.”Â
Nancy had to admit he was right.Â
“We’ve got time to spare. Let me treat you both to some coffee,” Gideon offered.Â
The three of them thus went to a cafe together. Jordan was still stunned as he witnessed the intimacy between Gideon and Nancy.Â
Then, he suddenly remembered something. “Grandma’s heading to Boraska in two days. Are you really not going to let Grandpa and the others visit her before the surgery?”Â
“She wants to wait until after the surgery. She doesn’t want them worrying beforehand,” Nancy explained.Â
“That makes sense. I’m sure the surgery will go well,” Jordan said firmly before looking at Nancy with envy, “You really are something, Nancy. You’re so talented, even in racing. You’re honestly the most impressive girl I’ve ever met.”Â
Nancy almost spat her gulp of coffee out in shock.Â
Gideon’s gaze snapped onto her instantly.Â
Nancy looked at him and laughed nervously. “Well…”Â
Jordan blinked, “What? Did I say something wrong? Mr. Fuller, aren’t you also one of the top racers?”Â
Jordan just happened to hear that Skylar and Gideon were the VIP guests at the last racing meet.Â
Gideon froze.Â
Nancy turned to stare at him as well.Â
He awkwardly cleared his throat. “I just dabble in it now and then.‘Â
“Now and then?” Nancy repeated, narrowing her eyes. “And you told me not to race?”Â
Gideon caught her hand. “Because it’s dangerous. Darling, you can race if you want to, but only whenÂ

I’m by your side.”Â
Nancy pouted. “Well, alright.”Â
Meanwhile, Jordan wanted to melt into his chair. Neither of them were aware about the other’s racing escapades. He’d said too much again.Â
Just then, a familiar voice drifted from outside the cafe.Â
“Regina, I have to hand it to you. Your daughter is truly remarkable.”Â
A groupÂ
of ladies entered the cafe soon after. Regina laughed modestly. “She just got lucky and picked up a few skills here and there.”Â
“Don’t be humble,” one of the women said, eyes full of envy as the group moved into the seatsÂ
several booths over.Â

She poured a cup of coffee for Regina. “She plays the piano, develops skincare, and rubs shoulders with Boraska’s heiress. If she were my daughter, I’d be strutting every day.”Â
Regina accepted the coffee with grace. Their envious gazes made her feel superior, something she hadn’t felt in a long time.Â
The woman pouring her coffee came from a prestigious scholarly family. She was someone who usedÂ
to look down on her. Yet here she was, serving Regina now.Â
Regina basked in the reversal of roles. She waved a dismissive hand. “Don’t exaggerate. Your daughter’s doing quite well, too.”Â
“Still, why keep such a gifted daughter under wraps? Why not announce her to everyone?” the woman asked, leaning closer.Â
Regina’s hand paused mid–air. She placed her cup down. “Nancy’s excellent, yes. But that means my standards for her are even higher. I wanted her to grow quietly and hone herself before stepping into the spotlight.”Â
“Really?” the woman said. “But I heard you and Nancy don’t always get along.”Â
“Oh, please. We’re mother and daughter. How bad could it be? Sure, we clash sometimes, but it never lasts past bedtime,” Regina explained. “Look at this outfit I’m wearing. It was a gift from Nancy!”Â
That explanation seemed to satisfy them. After all, blood was thicker than water.Â
The woman smiled. “I knew it! This dress looks wonderful on you. Speaking of dressing up, I spotted this emerald bracelet the other day and immediately thought of you. I had to buy it. Try it on!”Â
Regina politely declined, but eventually extended her wrist. The moment she saw the bracelet up close, her breath caught.Â
It was such a vibrant color. The bracelet had to be worth at least a million dollars.Â
