Messing With Her? Are You Crazy! novel Chapter 1025

His face was a ghastly, twisted shade of white.

Once he finally managed to catch his breath, he ground his teeth and roared, "Which son of a bitch dared to hit me? Do you realize..."

He was in the middle of his tirade.

When suddenly, Darius spotted something that made his blood run cold. He grabbed Adrian's arm, his voice trembling violently. "Shh!"

"Adrian, don't, don't... That's Mr. Blackwood, Mr. Blackwood..."

Infuriated, Adrian shoved him away, his face twisted in fury. "What the hell are you talking about? I don't care who he is, I'll..."

He turned his furious gaze in that direction.

And the moment he looked.

He locked onto a pair of deep, chilling, ink-black eyes.

Those eyes were like shattered frost and ice, entirely devoid of warmth.

Adrian's voice snapped off abruptly.

It was as if an invisible hand had clamped down on his throat, cutting off every ounce of sound.

In that instant, his blood turned to ice.

"Mr... Mr. Blackwood..."

His lips trembled as a freezing chill shot from the soles of his feet straight to the top of his skull. His entire body began to shake uncontrollably.

Nicholas Blackwood.

The crown prince of the Blackwood family in Vaelion City.

The man who stood at the absolute zenith of power, capable of upending the entire city with a flick of his wrist.

The man the Cole family had exhausted endless resources to meet, yet they still didn't possess the qualifications for even a brief audience.

Nicholas...

Why was he here?

And why had Nicholas just kicked him?

In that moment, every shred of Adrian's bravado evaporated, leaving him utterly terrified to utter a single curse word.

Instead, he trembled violently, forcing a sickeningly flattering smile onto his face as he bowed his head submissively toward Nicholas. "Mr. Blackwood, I... I don't know what I did wrong. Why would you go to the trouble of... personally kicking me?"

His throat bobbed nervously as his fingers clenched into tight fists. "Didn't that just dirty your shoe?"
