Chapter 1008
Thinking back to the motorcycle race at Apex Horizon Speedway months ago, Adrian remembered how effortlessly cool Serena had looked tearing across the asphalt.
He also remembered the crowd of elite socialites surrounding her that day.
The memory sent a jolt of disbelief through him.
He let out a cynical laugh. “I bet she used some underhanded tricks to infiltrate Marington College just so she could stay in Vaelion City p>
“The Wynn family collapsed, and after tasting the high life, there is no way she’d willingly go back to the slums in the Rusty Quarters to live with her deadbeat relatives. She’s just using this gauntlet to rebrand herself p>
In his mind, there was only one logical explanation.
Serena knew he was returning to the country today.
She orchestrated this entire spectacle just to catch his eye.
She wanted to win him back.
Listening to his boss, Darius stole another glance at the dazzling girl on stage.
He couldn’t help but think back to her commanding aura and flawless racing skills under the overpass. She certainly didn’t look like the clueless country girl the rumors painted her as.
Darius opened his mouth to argue but ultimately swallowed his words, scratching his head instead. “Well, pulling off a scheme to become Marington College’s
representative and dragging her team to first place in a gauntlet like this still takes some serious guts p>
The comment made Adrian’s expression sour instantly.
Darius had a point.
How exactly did someone like Serena con her way into Marington College and onto that stage?
More importantly p>
Serena was currently in first place.
Just then, murmurs from the audience drifted over.
“I’m telling you, that Marington College team in first place definitely cheated p>
“There’s no way she closed that massive point gap in just a few minutes, let alone took such a commanding lead legitimately p>
“I heard The Dreamscape Initiative is running on top-tier rigs provided by the Doyle family, while The Hope Initiative is stuck with standard campus equipment. You really
expect me to believe a basic
computer shattered their firewalls and uploaded a virus? It is
completely absurd p>
“That captain, Serena Lancaster, barely made it back to the arena for the last fifteen minutes of the.

match I bet she was out buying an illegal häck
“The judges and auditors are all
industry titans, and The Global Aegis
Alliance veterans are already investigating. They have proof any second now p>
“I’d bet money Serena used an exploit! It is one hundred percent rigged!” “Agreed! She totally cheated p>
As the accusations flew, Darius felt like he finally understood the situation.
He clapped his hands together. “So it is a hack! I knew it! There’s no way a high- school dropout could beat Bianca Doyle’s elite squad p>
“I’ve heard about Bianca. She’s a genuine socialite who got into Marington on pure talent p>
Adrian narrowed his eyes, his brow furrowing as he stared intensely at the girl on stage.
