He promised himself that after he finished cheering Adriana up, he would teach Nexi a proper lesson.
He reached out suddenly and covered Adriana's eyes with his hands.
"No peeking," he said softly. "I am going to lead you to your surprise. Trust me."
Adriana smiled faintly under his hands and nodded. "Fine. I will trust you."
Peter slowly guided her forward. Adriana followed, careful with her steps.
Some students nearby watched with wide eyes. One of them whispered,
"Adriana is so lucky."
Another nodded in agreement.
"Peter is the heir of this university. With him beside her, no one can ever bully her again. And remember, he already warned everyone that if anyone dares to hurt Adriana, the outcome will not be good."
"Her luck is written with a golden pen," a girl said softly.
But not everyone agreed.
Someone frowned and muttered,
"With her beauty, she could have caught the eye of another wealthy man anyway."
