Chapter 200: Chapter 200: She Cheated on You

Cecilia Vaughn didn’t expect someone to stand up for her.

She furrowed her delicate brows and looked towards the speaker.

Only to see the school heartthrob Sean Grant holding a large black umbrella, walking towards her with a confident stride.

In the gloomy rain, his skin was so pale it seemed to glow, like a vampire, somber yet devoid of warmth, impossible not to attract attention.

...

Though the rain had lessened, Cecilia felt grateful for Sean Grant’s kindness, and nodded appreciatively.

"Thank you, but there’s no need."

They were just ordinary classmates; Cecilia hadn’t expected Sean Grant to be so chivalrous.

But since they weren’t close, Cecilia didn’t want to owe anyone a favor lightly.

Moreover, last time Adrian Law had told her to stay away from Sean Grant, if Sean were to replace her in this racing match, it might stir up someone’s jealousy, but she wasn’t at the point of desperation yet.

...

Katherine North was even more shocked, staring at the newly crowned school icon, jealousy spreading like wild grass in her heart.

Why, how was Cecilia Vaughn so lucky, she’s the campus beauty of Stellerton University, why didn’t Sean Grant care about her?

Katherine leaned angrily against the blond young man’s embrace, her voice coy yet provocatively engaging.

"Grant, do you race? The roads here are treacherous with many turns, don’t try to play hero and end up losing your life."

Mr. Holloway, the blond Young Master Shelby, listened to Katherine’s words, but instead looked embarrassed.

He knew Sean Grant, who looked like just a pretty face, not conspicuous, but last month’s champion racer was him!

But Sean Grant stared indifferently at Katherine, his voice cool.

"Whether I race or not, what’s it to you?"

He tilted his head to look at the blonde Young Master Shelby, his tone nonchalant: "Young Master Shelby, Cecilia Vaughn hasn’t driven this mountain road before, the race wouldn’t be fair, I’ll take her place, you wouldn’t disagree, right?"

If Sean were to replace Cecilia Vaughn, wouldn’t his prize be snatched away!

Young Master Shelby replied weakly in denial.

"What are you to her? Just a classmate, you aren’t related, I don’t agree to a substitution!"

"He can’t race in her place, but as Cecilia Vaughn’s man, I can?"

Suddenly, a steady, cold male voice transmitted through the air, not too loud nor too soft, yet like sandpaper brushing against one’s heart, involuntarily intimidating everyone.

Hearing the voice full of authority, Katherine, who had been mocking Cecilia earlier, froze abruptly.

Someone calling themselves Cecilia Vaughn’s man...?

Could it be, Adrian... The Eldest Young Master Law?

...

Everyone instinctively looked towards the source of the sound; a glaring Bugatti Veyron had somehow parked in front of them.

Adrian Law’s icy and noble visage, though simply standing with an umbrella, was dazzlingly imposing, a noble aura weighing heavily on one’s heart.

Most present did not know Adrian Law’s identity.

They only felt that this man had an extraordinarily powerful presence, uttering just a few words yet exuding an emperor-like majesty, making people want to submit.

Who was this person?

Even if they didn’t know, the Bugatti Veyron behind Adrian Law was enough to indicate his noble status.

Almost all present were rich second-generation kids, who understood luxury cars, knew Adrian Law likely had an astounding background, definitely not someone to provoke casually.

... 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

While everyone was silently speculating, Adrian Law walked straight towards Cecilia Vaughn.

He didn’t look at Sean Grant, directly pulling Cecilia over.

"Cecilia, are you cold? Sorry, I’m late."

Cecilia smiled softly, seeing Adrian Law made her feel completely relieved.

"It’s okay, you came just in time."

It wasn’t Adrian’s fault, if Tyson Law hadn’t insisted on snatching her phone, things wouldn’t have gotten like this.

The man’s eyes seemed only to see the girl in front, his handsome features filled with concern, as he took off his khaki trench coat and decisively wrapped it around Cecilia.

What’s with this unexpected display of affection?

"..."

The wealthy youths exchanged glances, thinking of Katherine’s earlier insinuations about Cecilia Vaughn’s improper behavior, internally disapproving.

If Cecilia were a gold digger, like Katherine, sleeping around for money, would she have a man with a Bugatti Veyron cherishing her so cautiously?

This didn’t seem like the attitude towards a fling, more like towards a legitimate girlfriend.

Their eyes were sharp.

The only confusion was Cecilia’s overly complex relations; just now she got off a Bentley Continental, and there was a man sitting in the passenger seat!

Who had been cheated on?

...

The blonde Young Master Shelby saw Cecilia obediently standing next to Adrian Law, her previous cold demeanor gone, instead displaying hints of feminine charm that intrigued him more.

"Hey, who are you? Claiming to be Vaughn’s boyfriend? Want to race for her?"

Young Master Shelby wasn’t foolish; Adrian Law didn’t seem like someone he could casually provoke, but if they raced and Adrian got into trouble, he couldn’t be blamed, right?

He enviously scanned Adrian Law’s Bugatti Veyron; the Shelby Family was wealthy enough, but his father hadn’t relented to buy such million-dollar luxury cars.

Fueled by jealousy, Young Master Shelby stoked chaos.

"Hey dude, since you’re this woman’s boyfriend, didn’t you see her cozying up with the guy in the Bentley, then hitting it off with Sean Grant, looks like you’re wearing multiple green hats, can you take this?"

A dog cannot vomit ivory!

Cecilia Vaughn’s eyes frosted over instantly.

"You’re spreading malicious lies!"

No one saw how Cecilia moved, it was as if in an instant, she dashed forward, grabbed the blond youth’s collar, and punched him in the face!

She had long endured enough of these scoundrels, just preserving her strength earlier due to being outnumbered.

...

The crowd was aghast.

This seemingly fragile woman turned out to be so fierce!

Young Master Shelby covered his swollen face, howling in pain.

"Oh no, my face, what are you all just standing there for—"

Young Master Shelby’s henchmen were immediately enraged, wanting to strike back, yet Adrian Law’s single glance froze them with fear, unwilling to advance.

...

In a flash, Young Master Shelby was directly seized by Adrian Law’s throat!

The man’s gaze was cold, his voice filled with latent menace.

"Are you saying Cecilia put a green hat on me?"

Agony!

Young Master Shelby twitched in pain, body trembling, glaring hatefully at Cecilia, blaming her for everything!

Enchanted, the blond youth stubbornly clung to his previous accusation!

"That’s right, everyone saw it! That woman was with Sean Grant, flirting shamelessly, she even tried seducing me just now!"
