He never expected Serena to stoop to such pathetic depths just to stay in Vaelion City.
He let out a harsh scoff. "She's digging her own grave."
Getting caught cheating in a gauntlet of this caliber would ruin her life forever.
It was almost hilarious.
Darius nodded in agreement. "There's nothing left to see here. Let's go, Adrian. Old Mr. Cole is waiting for you at the estate."
"No rush."
Adrian casually claimed an empty seat, crossing his long legs with a relaxed elegance.
His lips curled into a smirk, the dark mood from his months of confinement abroad finally lifting. He was thoroughly enjoying himself.
"Let's watch the finale first," he said, leaning back against the chair and enjoying the view of the stage.
Once the officials exposed her cheating, the entire arena would turn on her.
She would be expelled from Marington College.
She might even face criminal charges.
Then, Serena would be a stray dog with nowhere to run.
And when that happened, he would descend like a savior.
She would finally realize he was the only man in the world capable of pulling her out of the mud.
If she was smart enough to grovel, cry, and admit her mistakes, he might just pull a few strings to make this mess disappear, for old times' sake.
Then she would understand that her survival in Vaelion City depended entirely on him.
The thought broadened Adrian's smile.
Serena was breathtakingly beautiful now.
Even if her background was unworthy of the Cole family heir, she would make a fantastic trophy on his arm.
Meanwhile, on the competition stage.
