Adrian remained calm, unlike how most would react in such a tense moment. He simply smiled and said, “Well then, I have somewhere to be,” turning away as if nothing had happened.

“But sir,” Lucious asked respectfully, “how would you like us to handle Sebastian’s men who tried to harm you?”

“However you see fit,” Adrian replied. “I’m going to find Mrs. Vivienne.”

Sam felt a cold chill creep down his spine. He knew that Darius’s men never started something they wouldn’t finish—and that could only mean one thing: their lives were at stake.

Lucious glanced at Sebastian’s men with disdain before turning back to Adrian. “Why not let us handle this ourselves and bring Mrs. Vivienne back to you safely?”

Adrian raised a hand to stop him. “No, thank you. And for the record, I don’t need your help anymore. I don’t want any violence around me. Stay out of my business,” he said, his voice calm and resolute, his confidence unshakable.

“Adrian, why would you—” Clara began, but Adrian raised his hand

  • The Underestimated Ex   Chapter 38

    “Sure, I’ll come with you,” Lyra said, her voice filled with excitement as she smiled brightly—so brightly it lit up her entire face.Damian was satisfied. He slowly inhaled, pleased.Just then, as Damian turned as if about to walk away, he stopped, slowly turned back, and looked at Adrian.“And as for you, Adrian—next time, you should know your place. You had no business being in the VIP room, and to cause trouble there and run down here… isn’t that a shameful thing to do?” Damian scoffed. “You really should know where you stand. I only told the security to let you go because of Lyra—otherwise, it would’ve looked like I was using my power to punish you.”He smirked, clearly pleased with himself for throwing in one last jab.Adrian sighed, visibly frustrated, but said nothing.He found out after all… he thought.With that, Damian and Lyra walked out.Lyra’s dislike for Adrian only deepened. It’s understandable that he’s a loser, she thought, but not knowing his place? That’s even more

    Damian chuckled with a smug, satisfied expression.“I really didn’t expect you to be this immature, Adrian—or whatever your name is,” he added.Adrian was about to speak again when Lyra’s voice cut in before him.“Shut up,” she said, her face cold and tense.“What more do you have to say? Damian is only trying to help your life, yet you still let your stupid pride keep driving you. Are you that foolish?” she snapped, glaring at him.Adrian was stunned. Though Lyra never truly respected him, she had never spoken to him so harshly—not even when her mother or brother tried to influence her.She’s really changed, he thought.But he quickly shrugged off the feeling. Wasn’t she always against me? So what if she still chooses to talk to me formally? It means nothing. He convinced himself to stay calm and expressionless.Then, he smiled.It was a bright, confident smile—like the glint of crystal under light.Damian was momentarily taken aback. What kind of man smiles while being humiliated pu

  • The Underestimated Ex   Chapter 36

    Adrian wasn’t the type to act nervous in anyone’s presence. Even though he often let things slide in the past, he wouldn’t give off the impression that he feared anyone. But now… he was done taking insults from people.He sighed, clearly irritated.Leaning back in his chair, he relaxed his posture slightly.“How may I help you?” he said, not even bothering to look Damian in the face.It was as if he didn’t recognize the man standing behind him—completely expressionless, no sign of acknowledgement.Lyra, standing next to Damian, felt her hand twitch with the urge to slap Adrian. How dare he act like that in front of Damian? she thought, seething. Does he think Damian is a nobody, like him?But she held herself back and sighed.“Adrian,” she snapped, “don’t you know who Damian Kade is? He’s talking to you, and you’re acting like you don’t even notice.”Her tone was sharp, mixed with irritation and a tinge of jealousy. She thought Adrian was simply acting out because he was jealous of he

  • The Underestimated Ex   Chapter 35

    Damian’s arrival had been unannounced, making his appearance a stunning surprise to everyone in the arena. The crowd erupted in cheers, their excitement like rainfall after years of drought.He was the future many women dreamed of—heir to a powerful legacy, destined to inherit everything once his father finally handed it over.Now, standing confidently, Damian introduced Lyra to the crowd as his “friend.” For now, it was better not to rush things, especially since he had just returned to the country.Even Lyra was surprised. Damian had mentioned he would be coming, but she hadn’t expected him to arrive so soon. Their relationship hadn’t been officially declared yet, but it was clear to everyone that he had some interest in her.Whispers rippled through the crowd.“She must really be lucky to have a connection with Damian,” someone said.“It would be a major turnaround for Lyra if she could secure Damian. Her company’s been failing anyway—only someone like Damian could save it,” anothe

    Noticing Adrian’s restless behavior as he looked around, Clara asked, “What’s the matter?” She glanced around as well but couldn’t make sense of what was going on.“I don’t have time to explain,” Adrian said, just as he began to rise from his seat. Then, a figure entered the arena—causing the crowd to erupt in joyful cheers, like rain had finally fallen after a long, dry season.Adrian wasn’t interested in seeing who it was, but Clara’s gaze was fixed on the commotion.“Oh,” she murmured, her lips parting slightly as a bright smile lit up her face.Adrian paused.“I see why you’re suddenly in a hurry to leave,” she added.Adrian frowned slightly, confused. What was she talking about? Even if she knew he was trying to avoid the security, she wouldn’t sound this amused.“You really can’t bear that your ex is now with someone richer, more powerful, and—frankly—greater than you,” she said, laughing softly.Huh? Adrian’s face tensed, his expression flickering with restrained fury. It felt

  • The Underestimated Ex   Chapter 33

    Adrian walked down the long corridor that led to the arena, where a crowd had gathered.The building was massive, filled with people and bustling with different activities happening all at once.He sighed as he looked around. There was no way he’d easily find Clara in all this noise like chaos as people scream while watching game show.Just then, his phone rang.It was Clara. He rarely saved contacts, but he recognized her number from the last digits when she called him earlier.“Hello? I’ve been waiting for hours just for you to come. Where are you?” she asked. Though clearly frustrated, she tried to choose her words carefully—after all, she needed his help, and to earn that, she had to play by his terms.Adrian was already moving through the hall. Despite the noise, he could still hear her. “Just stay where you are. I’ll come to you,” he said, having already spotted her in the crowd.Clara couldn’t quite hear what he said due to the loud environment, but she caught enough to know he
