Brian's eyes curved into crescents as he smiled. "Since Mr. Cole is being so sensible, I can rest easy."
As he spoke, he glanced at the bodyguards behind him. "Come on, bring out the debt agreement for Mr. Cole to sign."
"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."
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%."
"Once you sign, you can get your ass over to the track and fulfill your end of the bet."
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'?
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?!"
"Oh, my."
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."
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?"
"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?"
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!"
