A young woman with a stunning figure, flawless makeup, and a glamorous air emerged from the crowd, walking on stilettos.
Under the dazzling lights, her fiery red minidress was incredibly bold.
The expression on her face and the look in her eyes matched her vibe―arrogant and flamboyant to the extreme.
The first thing Hailey noticed was the woman's handbag. It was the latest limited edition from YB, released just two days ago, and its auction price had already soared to twenty million dollars.
It was a luxury item she wouldn't even dare to dream of!
Who was this woman?
"Miss Barnes?" Adrian narrowed his eyes, his cold gaze fixed on her face. "What exactly do you mean by that?"
The woman was none other than Chloe Barnes, the infamous heiress of the Barnes family, a Vaelion City socialite known for her extravagant lifestyle and for spending money like water.
Chloe curved her full, red lips, glancing at Serena and Brianna with disdain.
When her eyes landed on Adrian, her elaborate makeup took on a seductive, flirtatious quality.
Her lips curved into an aggressive smile. "Exactly what I said."
She raised a hand, her red-manicured fingertips producing a gold-embossed keycard, which she dangled casually. "The S Club has a crown jewel the 'Dark Serpent GT.' Compared to Skye's Ghost, its performance is superior, not inferior."
She smiled flirtatiously, the corners of her eyes lifting. "How about it, Mr. Cole? Want to borrow it for a spin?"
Her tone was so casual, as if she were offering a simple toy, not a top-of-the-line racing bike worth over a hundred million dollars.
Utterly arrogant and dismissive!
The moment Chloe appeared, Hailey could see her objective was crystal clear: Adrian.
Especially after seeing Chloe's stunningly flamboyant face and her incredibly expensive outfit.

immediately grabbed Adrian's arm,
whispering with a hint of hostility, Adrian who is she Abike comparable to Ghost would be
worth over a hundred million dollars.
Why would she be so nice as to just
lend it to you?"
Adrian's brow twitched slightly.
Because Hailey had once again grabbed his injured arm.
And when he moved slightly, she clung even tighter, as if afraid of losing him.
He winced, his brow twitching in pain.
But in front of so many people, especially Chloe, who was staring at him so brazenly, he endured it.
He endured it, his expression hardening. "Miss Barnes, why are you helping me?"
Chloe seemed to notice the
inconspicuous Hailey for the first
time. She arched a slender, vibrant brow her tone arrogant and dismissive. "When I do something, dot need to explain myself to you?"
She paused, then chuckled, flirtatiously flicking her wavy hair. Her gaze deliberately lingered on Adrian's face for a few seconds.
Her laugh was musical, her voice like a siren's call. "Of course, if this little darling is
so worried and absolutely must have a reason, I can provide one."
"I simply love a good show... and the bigger the spectacle, the better."
"An Overdrive... I've been a regular at Apex Horizon Speedway for years, and I've never seen anyone dare to initiate one This is a first it should be interesting
Chloe paused, then gave Adrian a dazzling smile.
It was a smile that could send any overconfident man into a tailspin.
For a moment, Adrian was captivated. He looked at Chloe's stunningly beautiful
face, and a strange emotion flickered in his cold eyes.
