"Who I am is none of your business,” Serena scoffed, casually placing her silver- black helmet on the Ghost. "Mr. Cole, are you that eager to settle our bet?"
It was a cold, indifferent look he'd never seen in her eyes before.
But now, it was profoundly clear.
Adrian's throat tightened, his voice growing hoarse. “Serena, you're this good... why
did you never show it? Why didn't you ever tell me!"
“And why... why are so many of your moves exactly like Skye's? What is your relationship with Skye?!"
His questions grew more and more agitated.
So agitated that...
He stumbled forward, reaching for Serena's shoulders.
But before his hand could touch her.
Serena's eyes narrowed slightly, her dark, clear gaze sweeping over him with an icy chill.
Adrian's hand froze in midair.
The memory of that sharp, bone-breaking pain in his wrist shot through him again.
He instantly froze, afraid to make another move.
When he realized what he'd done, Adrian's expression darkened as he stared at his hand, hanging awkwardly in the air.
He was actually...
Intimidated by the look from a country girl?
Was it because... he was stunned by her extraordinary racing and techniques that were so uncannily similar to Skye's?
But no matter the reason.
He was the one who was supposed to be in control when facing Serena!
"Hey! Who do you think you are, questioning Serena?” Brianna snapped when she saw Adrian glaring at her.
She straightened up and stood in front of Serena.
Unfortunately, being under five-foot-three, she couldn't shield much, but the young girl's attitude was more than enough. "Mr. Cole, it doesn't matter what Serena's

and that flock of rookies from your club lost, five against one!"
The mention of this made Adrian's face turn ashen, his eyes dark and menacing as
he looked at Brianna.
His glare was terrifying.
Brianna flinched but didn't back
down. "What are you staring at? ·

The great heir of the Cofe
family can't handle a loss?
Adrian's gaze grew colder.
Serena pulled Brianna behind her, her expression cool and languid, her eyes cold as ice.
"You're the one who initiated the Overdrive."
Her voice was devoid of emotion. "Don't tell me you can't afford to lose, Mr. Cole." Adrian's face twitched.
Overdrive...
The bet between him and Serena wasn't just for a Dark Serpent GT.
.n
There was also the penalty for losing an Overdrive challenge-getting "Loser" tattooed on his left arm and performing the loser's submission Kneel!
And on top of that, the other bet he'd agreed to-to kneel and bow with every step, shouting “Brianna is my daddy."
Just thinking about these two punishments made Adrian's expression turn ugly.
He never, ever thought he would lose to Serena!
Both punishments were unacceptable to him. Absolutely impossible!
If he really got a “Loser” tattoo and had to kneel to Serena in front of all these
people...
How could he ever show his face in Vaelion City again?
He, Adrian, and even the Cole family behind him, would be shamed and become the laughingstock of their entire social circle!
Serena had to be doing this on purpose, didn't she?!
