"Did you catch that? Or am I just imagining things?" Celeste's voice trembled with disbelief as she glanced at her friends, awaiting confirmation.
"Yeah, I heard it too. They're really making a bet?" Cylien's brow furrowed in confusion.
"But what on earth could they be betting on?" Roda's curiosity peaked.
"I'm also curious about that... but a bet between Amael and Adrian? It's making me uneasy..." Victor's voice trailed off before he noticed John, slightly apart from the group, quietly observing the unfolding scene with his hands resting on the guardrails. "John, do you have any insight into this bet?"
John, weary but compelled by Victor's earnest inquiry, shifted his gaze. He initially hesitated, but Victor's connection through Alicia pushed him to share. He was also a brother of a sister after all.
"If Adrian wins, he's marrying Alicia tonight and he can do whatever he wants with Edward."
