"Mr. Cole, if you can't afford to lose, don't play. But if you play... you honor the bet."
Nicholas kept a hand in his pocket, his lazy eyes lifting slightly. He looked casual and unrestrained, but he radiated an intense pressure. "Will you sign it yourself, or should I sign it for you?"
Adrian's throat tightened. The powerful aura was so overwhelming he could barely breathe.
Especially when his gaze met Nicholas's deep, bottomless eyes, which were like icy pools.
An icy chill spread from his spine throughout his body.
In the face of absolute power, the prestigious family background he was so proud of became a complete joke.
His throat felt clogged, and for a long moment, he couldn't utter a single sound.
But when Serena heard that low, magnetic voice, not a hint of surprise showed on her face.
She lifted her eyes slightly and glanced at the man.
Sensing her gaze.
Nicholas's lips curved as he looked back at Serena.
His upturned, charming eyes crinkled with a smile, making him look as handsome as a devil.
The sight of them looking at each other, their equally exquisite, picturesque faces both tinged with obvious smiles, was incredibly grating to Adrian.
It only fueled his irritation.
His face darkened, and he clenched his fists, his body tensing with rage.
He slowly crouched down, his expression defeated, and picked up the document he had just thrown to the ground.
He looked utterly defeated and pathetic.
As he picked up the pen and signed his name on the debt agreement, he felt an immense sense of humiliation.
Then, under the mocking gazes of countless people.
