Chapter 47 - 46: Shattered Illusions
"That one. Open it." Adrian’s voice was tense as he pointed to a folder bearing Blair’s name.
Rex hesitated, his fingers hovering over the mouse. "You sure you want to see that?"
Adrian’s voice, hollow and raw, barely registered. "I need to know how bad it is."
Rex reluctantly clicked on the folder.
As expected, inside were dozens of files, each named with a date and Blair’s initials.
The thumbnails alone revealed enough to make Adrian’s face contorted with rage.
"That manipulative piece of shit," Adrian growled, "Look at the timestamps. This started last month when her grades fell."
Rex nodded grimly. "Classic pattern. Pressure, then offer a ’special arrangement’ to fix their grade."
"Are you sure you want to see the video?" Rex confirmed again.
Adrian didn’t respond immediately, "Hmmm," Adrian nodded with a grim face, his jaw clenched tightly. "I need to see it."
Rex clicked on a video. The screen flickered for a moment before loading, showing Blair in the professor’s office, laughing softly as she leaned in for a kiss. Adrian’s breath caught in his throat, his body tense as his eyes narrowed.
