Chapter 201
Brian’s eyes curved into crescents as he smiled. “Since Mr. Cole is being so sensible, I can rest easy p>
As he spoke, he glanced at the bodyguards behind him. “Come on, bring out the debt agreement for Mr. Cole to sign p>
“A debt agreement?” The color on Adrian’s face changed slightly.
Brian produced a document and handed it over with a grin. “That’s right, Mr. Cole. To prevent you from backing out after leaving Apex Horizon Speedway, we have to follow the rules p>
He pressed the document and a pen against Adrian’s chest. “Sign it, leave a thumbprint, and within three days, one hundred million dollars will be in Serena’s account. Otherwise, you’ll be charged a daily interest of 0.5 p>
“Once you sign, you can get your ass over to the track and fulfill your end of the bet p>
Adrian’s pupils contracted as he snatched the document with one hand.
A sense of déjà vu struck him.
He snapped his head up, looking at Chloe, who stood opposite him with an alluring smile.
Didn’t this scene seem familiar?
Wasn’t this… the exact same routine Chloe had pulled just moments ago when she offered to lend him the ‘Dark Serpent GT,’ a car worth nearly as much as the ‘Ghost p>
His pupils kept constricting as he looked from the bewitching Chloe to the aloof and languid Serena.
In a flash, it all clicked. “You… Chloe, Serena, you were in on this from the start? You conspired to set me up p>
“Oh, my p>
Chloe batted her exquisitely made-up eyes, her bright red nails covering her lips in a charmingly coquettish way. “Mr. Cole isn’t too slow on the uptake, but unfortunately… it’s too late p>
Adrian was so furious he could have burst. “You lunatic! Are you completely insane? You’d put up a hundred-million-dollar Dark Serpent GT to play along with her? Just to stage this whole act p>
“That’s right,” Chloe’s smile was wickedly alluring. “I, Chloe, have money to burn. I can afford to play. What are you going to do about it p>
Adrian’s breathing grew ragged. He clutched the document tightly and slammed it onto the ground. “This is fraud! I don’t recognize this so-called bet p>
How dare Serena play him like this!
How dare she team up with an outsider to scam him!
Her methods were insane!
It was all a setup, a trap they had designed.
He had every reason and excuse to deny the Overdrive challenge and its bet!
But just then.
A low, magnetic, and lazy voice, yet one filled with immense pressure came from behind him. Whether you recognize it or not is not@p to you p>
A tall, elegant figure slowly walked up to stand behind Serena.
Under the bright, dazzling lights, the man’s aloof, devilishly handsome face was exceptionally stunning.
He had one hand in his pocket, his
entire posture lazy and relaxed, and
even his beautiful upturned
eyes
held a faint, indolent air.
But his presence was so cold it was chilling.
Especially the moment his gaze felk on Adrian, Adrian felt an intense
sense of suffocation as if the net
air around him had frozen solid
All the color drained from Adrian’s face. “N-Mr. Blackwood p>
He never expected Nicholas to be here.
He remembered how Nicholas had stood up for Serena at the Obsidian Palace last time.
And now, Nicholas was here again?
Could this be a coincidence?
No!
Could it be that… these two people, from completely different worlds, actually knew each other?
