Adrienne looked at Alistair indifferently. Since her rebirth, she did her best to avoid this man at all costs, but a single encounter during her grandfather's banquet was enough to evoke the obsession of this man with her. It was clear to her that Alistair wouldn't take her rejection easily.
She could see the determination in his eyes as he relentlessly pursued her, refusing to accept her disinterest. Adrienne knew she had to find a way to protect herself from his relentless advances in the future.
If she were to marry Lennox, she didn't want Alistair to ruin their marriage. She also felt at ease knowing that the Zhao family wanted to respect her opinion and decisions when choosing a prospective partner.
