Chapter 278 I Prefer to Keep a Low Profile
On the other side of the video call, Eric watched Kate and Linus interact with a smile in his with indulgence.
eyes. filled
After chatting with Linus for a while, Kate turned her concern to Eric and asked, “Ric, have you been resting and eating well?”
Eric chuckled softly and nodded. “Of course, it’s your orders. I must obey.
Linus looked on in astonishment, observing Eric in a way he had never seen before. The Eric of the past had always been incredibly cold, even icy when facing them, but now, in front of Kate, his tender and loving side was showing.
Linus wanted to continue watching for a while longer but Hendrick bluntly pulled him away.
The couple was chatting, what are you doing here as a third wheel?
After they stepped outside, Linus dropped his casual demeanor and looked at Hendrick seriously. “Did Kate really give up on that Simon?”
Hendrick nodded and briefly explained the situation to Linus. Linus clicked his tongue in disapproval, his gaze deep and thoughtful as he looked towards the room. “That’s for the best. Eric seems okay with her, barely acceptable.”
“By the way, when are you guys planning to go back home?”
Hendrick pondered for a moment. Tll talk about some business later. We’ll head back after the fashion design exhibition wraps up in a few days.”
He sighed softly. “We all know Kate’s temperament. After the exhibition, she’ll probably be itching to go back home and find Eric.”
Linus remained silent, his eyes cast down as he pondered something. Then Hendrick asked, “And what about you? Are you going back home?”
There was a hint of complexity in Linus’s eyes, but he quickly masked it and replied casually, “Me? I’m heading to Norathis next. Got a lot on my plate.”
“Aren’t you famous for competing internationally? Why are you using a different name this time?”
Hendrick stared at Linus, curious.
Linus was also a top–tier international racer. In Haldoria, Linus’s name was well–known, and he was considered one of the best in the racing world.
But here in Krusada, these people clearly didn’t recognize Linus’s identity. If they did, why would they support that Hurricane?
Internationally, Linus ranked far ahead of Hurricane in the standings!

demeanor. “I prefer to keep a low profile.”
Seeing his slightly guilty expression, Hendrick instantly understood.
He looked at Linus expressionlessly and said softly, “I haven’t seen you in international racing this past year. Were you banned from racing because someone didn’t want you to place bets?”

Linus was surprised that he was instantly exposed, but he still insisted stubbornly, “How could that be? They paid me to compete!”
“Oh.
Hendrick applauded half–heartedly. “Well, you’re amazing then. If that’s the case, why did you come to compete in Krusada this time and bet on yourself to win?
“By the way, you must have made close to 15 million dollars this time, right? With that much money, you don’t need to ask me for money anymore.”
Linus’s face darkened immediately.
He hugged Hendrick around the neck and said, “My dear brother, you know how expensive it is to modify race cars! And they wouldn’t let me bet on myself, so I hardly won any money at all! Sobs, they say a racing car is a racer’s wife, but now I can’t afford to support my wife anymore!”
Hendrick gritted his teeth. “Let go! You take care of your own ‘wife, why would you want your brother. to support her?”
Linus held onto Hendrick’s neck tightly, refusing to let go. “No way! You have to give me money! I’m so broke!”
When Kate finished her video call and opened the door, she walked in on Linus clinging to Hendrick’s neck for dear life. Hendrick struggled to break free while Linus continued to hold on, shouting. “Hendrick, you’re trying to murder your own brother You’re just being asked to support my wife, how much could it cost? You don’t want me as your brother anymore, do you?”
Kate was puzzled.
