A flicker of surprise passed through Kennedy’s eyes.

Davina didn’t respond to anyone’s questions. After firing the last of the ten bullets, she handed the pistol back to Kennedy.
Thanks.
Kennedy took the gun and passed it to a female attendant beside him–someone clearly assigned just to assist him.
“Damn, that accuracy! Do you wanna try a rifle next! There’s a semi–auto over at the next range.
The voice came from a young man standing next to Kennedy.
One
glance told Davina that he was some rich heir–young, flashy, and clearly used to the finer things
Handsome, too, but compared to Kennedy’s composed elegance, this guy was like a firecracker–lively and unrestrained.
Now, he was staring at her, his eyes lit up as if he’d just discovered some new and fascinating toy
Davina neither accepted nor rejected the offer. “Maybe next time.”
She hadn’t come here to show off–just to help Jasper and Hailey save face.
Now that the bet was settled, she saw no reason to stick around.
But that one offhand comment still made everyone around them collectively freeze.
“Wait–she can shoot rifles too?!”
“No way, does that mean she can use sniper rifles as well?”
“Damn, I really wanna see if she’s that accurate with a rifle too!”
“Who is she? Never seen her before”
“Heard she’s Barlow Group’s heiress. Ms. Barlow’s daughter.”
you think she’d take me on as a disciple?”
“Do you
The range had suddenly turned into a buzz of excitement
With that many spectators, it wasn’t surprising
The young man who had spoken to her earlier turned to glance at Kennedy, then back at Davini, a grin spreading across his face–complete with two sharp, mischievous canines.
It’s a deal then. Next time you come, use my gun.”
Kennedy’s brows twitched slightly.
Davina smiled and turned her attention to Ryan, who was still staring at the moving target like he couldn’t believe what he’d
“So about our bet, the said, her tone calm, almost casual, but with a razor–thin edge of arrogance and challenge. “You think. you won, or did 17*
Her words weren’t loud or aggressive–but with her strength on full display, that kind of tone wasn’t arrogant. It was
Hell, if they had her skills, they’d be walking sideways through the streets, too!
The energy she radiated had everyone around her fired up
Especially Jasper and Hailey

Hailey stood straighter than ex
ever, looking even more smug than Davina herself.
“No one’s gonna try and weasel out, right?” she said loudly.
Jasper let out a cold snort. “Exactly. Don’t tell me someone’s planning to go back on their word?”
Instantly, everyone’s eyes turned toward Lewis, Stella, and Ryan.
Even Kennedy and the young man beside him turned their attention to them
The guy raised a brow knowingly. “So it was a bet, huh? What were the stakes?”
Talk about rubbing salt in the wound.
Lewis’s face turned even darker, practically fuming with anger.
Ryan opened his mouth, looking cornered and awkward. “I
Before he could finish, Stella cut in coldly. “This doesn’t count! You set us up on purpose!
“You just wanted to embarrass Lewis!
“You hid the fact that you could shoot just to trick us!”
Because of Kennedy’s presence, Stella deliberately avoided mentioning Ryan.
She believed that doing so would make her protective image even more endearing to others.
It would also make Lewis feel more protective of her.
But she didn’t realize that, under the current circumstances, her words just made her look petty and unwilling to lose gracefully.
Most of the people here are adrenaline junkies, drawn to the thrill and excitement
They crave the rush that comes with the surge of adrenaline, which is why they choose to be here.
And right now, Davina had just delivered that thrill in spades.
She had them on a high–and they were firmly on her side.
No matter the conditions of the bet–she’d won.
If you can’t afford to lose, then don’t gamble in the first place.
Loving and making excuses? Then what the hell were you betting for!
