Rural Belle & Three Heirs
Chapter 23 Could It Be a Fracture

She didn't even think twice. When the rich kid's leg reached out towards Tony's motorcycle, she kicked it.

Two forces collided. Chloe only used about thirty percent of her strength, but the rich kid, still on his bike, couldn't handle it. With just that one move, his motorcycle flew out of the curve. It slammed into the guardrail on the other side, hitting it hard.

Tony's bike, caught by inertia, also veered off the track.

Luckily, Tony had some skills. After a bit of a struggle, he managed to bring his bike to a stop.

But he ended up in a bad spot, right next to a circle of track guardrails. As soon as the bike stopped, Chloe's calf smacked against the guardrail with a loud thud.

The pain was intense, and Chloe's face twisted in agony.

Meanwhile, the other motorcycles zoomed past Tony's bike, taking the lead.

In this race, Tony lost again.

Unable to contain himself any longer, Liam, with a dark expression, marched onto the track from the sidelines.

Eric, noticing Liam's bad mood, touched his nose and coughed lightly. He might have to worry about these rich second-generation kids now.

But those rich kids didn't get it. After crossing the finish line first, they surrounded Tony.

"Tony, you lost again. Hand over the motorcycle goddess's contact info."

"Yeah, a bet's a bet. With your lousy skills, you think you can compete with us? We beat you every time."

Despite their dirty win, they wanted the motorcycle goddess's contact info from Tony to impress Liam.

Tony ignored them and rushed to check on Chloe after getting off his bike.

Seeing the bruise on her leg, the usually timid Tony suddenly found his courage.

"How could you stoop so low? Racing is about skill, not dirty tricks. And now you want the motorcycle goddess's contact info? Have you no shame? Look at what you did to Chloe!" Tony's voice boomed at the rich kids. Previously, he refrained from confronting them, fearing his parents couldn't match their influence. But now, with Chloe hurt, they had crossed a line.

The rich kid who kicked Chloe earlier laughed off Tony's words.

"Tony, you lost. Why all the talk? In racing, only the result matters, not the process"

"You lost, so stop whining. Injuries are part of racing. Are you really making a fuss over a little bruise?"

Seeing the rich kids' smug attitude, Chloe was furious.

Despite the pain in her calf, she struggled to dismount the bike and confront them.

But before she could say anything, Liam stormed over and, without a word, delivered a powerful kick to the rich kid who had hurt Chloe, sending him sprawling to the ground.

"Mr. Martin, what are you doing?" The rich kid, now on the ground, couldn't understand why Liam had kicked him.

He thought he was helping Liam get the motorcycle goddess's contact info.

Liam pointed at him and scolded, "I told you to race, not act like a fool. Losing is losing. Do it fair and square. What's with kicking someone's bike? There's a passenger with Tony, from the Martin Family. You dare kick her? Are you asking for trouble?"

Despite Liam's usual teasing and mocking of Chloe, he was protective when it mattered.

Zara was right; the three Martin heirs were like protective, short-tempered dogs.

After scolding the rich kid, Liam still wasn't satisfied. He raised his foot and kicked him several more times.

As Liam vented his frustration, Eric felt a bit awkward. Finally, Liam rushed to Chloe's side, worried about her leg. "Hey, how's the leg, ugly? Does it hurt?"

Liam was a bit anxious. Chloe's delicate calf had a noticeable bruise.

"It's bruised like this. What do you think? Liam, are your followers this low-level? If you can't afford to lose, don't come out to race. Aren't you ashamed?" Chloe mocked Liam.

For once, Liam didn't retort.

He carefully examined Chloe's calf. As he gently touched it, Chloe couldn't help but let out a light cry.

Seeing Chloe's face change, Tony worriedly said, "Mr. Martin, could Chloe's leg be broken?"

Upon hearing Tony mention a broken leg, Liam was stunned. Grant had assured him Chloe would be safe. Now, fearing Grant's wrath, Liam picked up Chloe and rushed off the track. "Eric, get my car over here, quick, to the hospital." The once thrilling motorcycle track became chaotic due to Liam's sudden loss of control.

Everyone watched as Liam carried Chloe, hurriedly got into the car, and sped away, kicking up clouds of dust.

After they left, the rich kid who had been beaten by Liam finally dared to get up. Rubbing his sore arm, he looked aggrieved. "What's his deal? I was helping him, and he still hits me? I was just trying to get the motorcycle goddess's contact from Tony."

Seeing him like this, Eric was speechless.

He patted the rich kid's head and reminded him, "Do you think you were helping Mr. Martin? Don't forget, the woman you just tried to kick might become Mr. Martin's fiancée." Eric's words left everyone present stunned.
