Chapter 33 Lucian curled his lips at the words , his expression not particularly pleasant . " Ric is just too noisy . Anyone who doesn't know better would think he's interested in my person . " Although Lucian spoke in a nonchalant tone , Desmond still caught the particular emphasis on the words " my person . " His gaze grew cold as he looked up at the stage . The sunlight outside the window was glaring . The young girl turned her face slightly , holding a longsword in her hand . A chill seemed to emanate from her , yet her eyes were bright and burning . Desmond was about to leave , but for some reason , he suddenly sat down beside Lucian . His long legs crossed in a casual manner , and for the moment , he seemed in no hurry to go . Lucian scoffed , " Do you want to compete too ? " Desmond had no interest . Lucian said , " The Formula 1 World Championship is being held in Melbourne next month . Interested ? My mom gave me a new plane . Let's call Adrian . Declan probably won't come ; he wants to stay with his precious fiancée . " Desmond replied calmly , " I might consider it . " Meanwhile , the two people on stage had reached a point of confrontation that was almost uncontrollable . Bernice nearly shouted loud enough for the whole hall to hear : " If you lose , get out of Wintervale Academy and leave the Calder family forever ! " She added another condition , which was her true aim . " Don't tell me you're reluctant to give up the Calder family's wealth and glory . " " I can accept that , " Darlene replied calmly , always more curious about what Bernice was willing to sacrifice . " Answer me , what about you ? " Bernice said, " It's your honor that I'm willing to compete with you . What right do you have to demand rewards or punishments from me ? " She acted as if she were naturally superior , her arrogance almost unbearable , but everyone was used to it . This was a place where fairness and dignity did not exist . Darlene's eyes darkened slightly , and she couldn't help but laugh . Suddenly , she stepped closer to Bernice , her last words so soft they were almost a whisper . " With so many people here , and the person you care about most watching from the audience , are you sure you want to be this shameless ? You look down on me , yet you're afraid ? " " Who's afraid of you ? Stop flattering yourself ! " Bernice snapped , furious . " So your answer is ... ? " Darlene asked gently . No one knew where Darlene's confidence came from . As Bernice looked at her smile , a sense of foreboding suddenly rose within her . " If Darlene loses , as punishment , she leaves Wintervale Academy . But if you lose , you must apologize to her ! For your rudeness , you will apologize to Darlene in front of the entire school ! " " Mr. Alaric , you ! " Bernice exclaimed in surprise . Alaric suddenly jumped down from the stands , the silver necklace on his chest swinging wildly with his movement , showing just how excited he was . Such an interesting event was truly rare . " Mr. Alaric , what are you doing ? " Bernice frowned . Alaric , like them , represented the upper class and was supposed to defend their interests . He should have been supporting her . " Bernice , I'll be the witness . Do you accept ? " Alaric asked mischievously . As the descendant of a financial magnate , Bernice was not quite on par with the Drayton family , but she was still a prominent figure in the business world . For a daughter of a tycoon to apologize to a sponsored admit - such a thing was unheard of at Wintervale Academy , or anywhere in the UK . Unprecedented ! The entire hall fell into a terrifying silence . If an ordinary person had made such an absurd request , they would have been considered an outcast and kicked out of the circle long ago . 1×31 ALL StarShort This short drama is toxic Latverf key all night watching it .
