Messing With Her? Are You Crazy! novel Chapter 1021

"You've worked so hard just for me."

As those words landed.

Serena's narrowed eyes shifted, her thick, raven-like lashes fluttering slightly.

She finally looked at him squarely.

Seeing this, the amusement in Adrian's eyes deepened. The corners of his lips curved upward, and his tone softened significantly. "I get it. Sneaking into Marington College, showing off your computer skills, even riding a motorcycle to imitate Skye—everything you've done is so that even without the Wynn family's backing, you could stay in Vaelion City and find your way back to me."

"Considering everything you've done over the past few months to win me back, I'm willing to let that incident at Apex Horizon Speedway slide."

Adrian genuinely believed he was offering Serena a graceful way out.

Back at the Apex Horizon Speedway, she had teamed up with outsiders to con him out of millions of dollars, even forcing him to get the word 'Loser' tattooed on his arm.

It had been a devastating blow to his pride as the heir of the Cole family.

Because of that, he had been shipped off overseas for closed-door training.

But despite all of that.

He was willing to give Serena a second chance.

He could overlook the past.

After all, the Serena standing before him now definitely had the qualifications to make him overlook it.

Serena stared evenly at Adrian for a solid two seconds, not even bothering to roll her eyes.

This man was so bizarre it was actually comical.

He just popped out of nowhere to spew absolute nonsense in front of her?

Was he out of his mind?

She scoffed, a hint of impatience flashing in her eyes. "Get the hell out."

The smug smile on Adrian's face froze, his brows snapping together in a tight frown.

He opened his mouth to speak.

But Lydia Brooks couldn't stand it any longer.

Lydia had just watched her Captain absolutely destroy Bianca's team in the final ten minutes of the match.

She had also just witnessed national-level tech titans literally begging her Captain to join their departments.

And now, some random guy had popped up out of nowhere.

Just yapping non-stop.

What was he even talking about?

Lydia's rapid-fire takedown made Adrian's face darken dangerously.

He frowned fiercely.

He had overheard the audience discussing Serena's team earlier.

They were just a bunch of country bumpkins from the middle of nowhere, a literal team of charity cases.

Every single one of them, Serena included.

Were just impoverished students.

Desperate kids who needed sponsors just to afford the tuition at Marington College.

And this broke student was actually daring to point a finger at him and curse him out?

Adrian had no desire to lower himself by arguing with a bunch of impoverished students; it was beneath a man of his status.

He let out a dismissive scoff, his voice chillingly flat. "Student, you are an outsider. You have no idea what goes on between Serena and me."

"I am the man Serena loves."

The unspoken implication was clear—

This was between him and Serena, and she was hopelessly in love with him, so this outsider needed to shut her mouth immediately.
