Chapter 1029

No matter how you looked at it, it was absolutely mind-blowing.

Darius couldn’t help but wonder if Adrian’s two months isolated abroad had genuinely fried his brain.

Did he seriously want to fight the Blackwood Crown Prince over a woman?

“So what if he’s the Blackwood heir?” Adrian glared fiercely in the direction Serena had vanished, grinding his teeth as a chilling sneer twisted his lips. “With her background, she wasn’t even qualified to join the Cole family. How could she ever marry into the Blackwoods p>

“At the end of the day, Mr. Blackwood is just treating her like a shiny new toy, stringing her along p>

Adrian refused to believe that Nicholas actually saw Serena as his fiancée.

Even if Nicholas was genuinely blinded by her beauty.

The Blackwood family would never allow it.

Adrian’s fists clenched tighter, his knuckles turning white. “Everyone in Vaelion City knows the Blackwood heir is already engaged to the Lancaster heiress. Didn’t Hailey Wynn use her connection with the Lancaster heiress to sneak into the Blackwood family’s gala before p>

And it was exactly because Hailey had attached herself to the Lancaster heiress.

That he had been fooled by Hailey yet again.

And became a laughingstock one more time.

In any case.

The marriage pact between the Lancasters and the Blackwoods was common knowledge among Vaelion City’s elite.

How could the Blackwoods possibly accept a slum girl as their future matriarch? And how could the Lancasters tolerate a slum girl stealing their prized son-in-law? “But… I really feel like the way Mr. Blackwood was looking at her, that fierce protectiveness… it didn’t look fake,” Darius said. He didn’t want to burst Adrian’s bubble, but he was terrified Adrian might do something stupid like challenge Mr. Blackwood for the girl.

He couldn’t believe Mr. Blackwood had publicly claimed Serena as his fiancée either.

But the facts were right in front of them.

The slum girl Adrian kept going on about p>

Didn’t seem to be who Adrian claimed she was at all.

That Serena p>

Seemed to be a genuine powerhouse.

She was basically winning at life!

“Shut up p>

Adrian whipped his head around, his eyes bloodshot with rage. “What do you know p>

“You have no idea how obsessed

Serena used to be with me! There is

no way she genuinely got with

another man in such a short amount of time!”

Everything Serena was doing right now.

Was just a ploy to make him mad.

To punish him for choosing Hailey over her.

She was getting revenge.

She deliberately seduced Nicholas just to make him jealous, to anger him, to make

him beg for her to come back.

The only reason she was acting like this.

Was because she hated him for abandoning her.

And why did she hate him?

Because she loved him.

Serena definitely still had feelings for him!

Darius stared at Adrian’s dark, stubbornly delusional expression.

A chill ran down his spine.

He genuinely wanted to suggest that Adrian check himself into a psychiatric ward.

The chemistry between Nicholas and Serena was so intense it was practically sparking.

Anyone with eyes could see it was true love.

But as a mere lackey, Darius didn’t dare say any of that out loud.

He could only nod meekly. “Right, right, whatever you say, Adrian p>

“Why would Mr. Blackwood ever fall for her p>

“Let’s just forget about her for now, Adrian, The priority is getting back to the Cole family state Old Mr Cole

Adrian’s eyes darkened as he cast one last, lingering look in the direction Serena

had vanished.

He let out a cold scoff. “Let’s go p>
