The next day.
After the classes, Adrian quickly left the academy, taking a few detours and using the secret base to change to his alter ego - Mr. Lucien.
Then, he made his way to where carriages were gathered. Taking a grand one, he headed to the Valerian Hall to his meeting with Evangeline.
Thankfully, this time, he didn't need to show the VIP card to the guards as they opened the gate professionally and respectfully.
But, his luck ran out the moment he entered the Mian Hall.
'Damn it, does she spend all her time here?' Adrian cursed inwardly as his eyes landed on a familiar figure—a strikingly beautiful mature woman seated at the nearest table.
Beside her sat a handsome young man, his expression one of complete adoration, no—devotion. Adrian's stomach churned at the sight. The young man seemed more like a pet than a companion, and the woman was feeding him with a smile that was both playful and predatory, as if toying with a favorite toy.
