CHAPTER 154- Blazing Bet
He planted a jeweled finger against his own chest.“I am Victor Winslow. Multi-billionaire. My uncle is a top-ranking military official."I have connections you can’t even dream of.”His eyes gleamed with menace as he leaned closer.“Vice-President Julia will endorse me in no time. This entire event is mine for the taking.”Victor’s voice dropped to a dark growl.“Rebelling against me is like signing your own death warrant.”He jabbed a finger toward Adrian, then at the shaken valet.“If you know what’s good for you, go down on your knees.” his lips curled into a vicious smile.“...and bark like a dog. Maybe then I’ll let you crawl out of here alive.”Silence enveloped the whole area as eyes swung back to Adrian, waiting to see if he would bend or kneel.Adrian’s eyes narrowed at them.“Me… kneel?” He took a single, deliberate step forward.“Even Vice-President Julia can't make me kneel.”The words landed like a lightning strike.A collective gasp ripped through the onlookers.It was
CHAPTER 153- Left Over
Victor nodded, scowling. “Apparently.”Isabelle laughed scornfully. “Unbelievable,” she said, her eyes raking Adrian up and down with contempt.“Just because you’re mingling with people way above your class, you think you’re one of the elites?”Her eyes narrowed in anger. “Move that stupid car of yours,” she snapped, her voice ringing across the marble lot,“before I call a bulldozer to crush it.”The crowd murmured in shock as the tension thickened.One of the valets, a young man in a crisp navy vest hurried and bowed slightly as he reached the circle of onlookers.“Excuse me, sir,” he said carefully, eyes flicking from Victor to Adrian.“Mr. Winslow, we’ll need you to move your vehicle. Vice-President Julia sent word—this VIP slot is reserved for a black sedan.”For a heartbeat, the courtyard froze.Did they just hear him right?The VIP space was reserved for this man?That was the funniest thing anyone could ever hear.The crowd, which was silent for a minute, burst into a very lou
CHAPTER 152- New Catch
Isabelle’s throat worked as she forced the words out.“Yes,” she said at last. “He’s… my ex-husband. The one I told you about.”Her jaw tightened. “The one who tried to destroy my life.”A low murmur rippled through the onlookers—ex-husband?Victor’s stare sharpened, ego prickling.“So you’re Adrian,” he said, each syllable edged with contempt.But Adrian didn’t spare him a glance.His gaze stayed locked on Isabelle, calm as a blade resting on stone.“You look… better,” he said quietly, the faintest smirk touching his mouth,“than your adulterous partner Lucian.”The name struck like a thrown knife.Adrian’s voice remained almost casual.“I paid him a visit,” he added, the corner of his mouth curving in a cold half-smile.“He’s rotting in prison now.”The air between them tightened.Isabelle finally found her voice, her composure cracking.“Are you not tired of causing trouble, huh?” she snapped, her heels clicking sharply against the marble.“What exactly is your problem?”Adrian’s h
CHAPTER 152- Old Ties
The standoff between them attracted more attention from onlookers.From the crowd, a woman in a golden gown gasped.“Isn’t that Victor Winslow?” she whispered to her companion, voice rising with excitement.Another man, eyes wide, chimed in. “The rising billionaire? I heard his uncle’s a top army official!”The buzz grew and it seemed to feed Victor’s ego even more Victor’s chest swelled. He pivoted dramatically toward the growing audience as soon as he realized he had had enough crowd attention.“I was just trying to park,” he announced, projecting his voice like a stage actor, “when this man—” he jabbed a jeweled finger toward Adrian—“cut across me and scratched my brand-new Ferrari. I bought it two days ago!”Gasps flared like sparks through the onlookers.All of them turned to Adrian, their eyes filled with judgment.Did this man have no respect?How would a Sedan be dragging a parking space with a Ferrari?A tall executive in a silver tie muttered loudly enough for all to hear,
CHAPTER 151- Ferrari vs Sedan
A hush rippled through the line of supercars as the green Ferrari’s wing door lifted with a hiss.The driver stepped out in a flash of emerald suit and diamond cufflinks.There was no remorse in his expression only arrogance.He strode straight to Adrian’s black sedan.His knuckles tightened as he jabbed his hand at him furiously.“You bastard,” he barked.“How dare you scratch my car with this piece of garbage?""Are you blind or just stupid?”Gasps flicked through the nearby onlookers.Inside the sedan, Adrian’s gaze hardened to ice.He exhaled once, slow and lethal, before pushing the door open.The crowd’s murmur swelled as he stepped out.Tall and composed.Every line of him radiated quiet dominance.He just came here to attend the event like everyone else... And now some random bastard was insulting him.“What did you just say?” Adrian said glaring at him.The Ferrari driver sneered, waving a manicured hand toward his own car.“You heard me. You scratched this beauty. Apologize
CHAPTER 150- Long Awaited
Elena’s grin turned positively devilish. “Your limited-edition makeup set. The one you hide in the top drawer.”“What?!” Sophia’s jaw dropped. “You can’t be serious.”“Oh, I’m serious,” Elena sang, already backing toward the hall.“Did you think I saved your life for free?”Sophia let out a half-laugh, half-groan, torn between exasperation and reluctant amusement.“Elena!”Elena quickly opened the locker and grabbed the makeup.Sophia shot forward with a mock growl. “Oh, you little thief!”Elena shrieked with laughter and bolted for the hallway.“Try and stop me!” she called over her shoulder.Sophia chased her down the corridor.“Give it up, brat!”“You’ll never catch me!” Elena cackled as she turned around the corner.Sophia lunged, fingertips brushing the hem of her sister’s shirt, but Elena darted through her own doorway and slammed it shut with a triumphant bang.Sophia rapped the door with a fist, half-laughing, half-exasperated.“Unbelievable! Don’t you dare use that makeup!”F
