Rivals faced each other, and the atmosphere became exceptionally tense. Seeing him, Aiden Bewell's face lost its usual courtesy, instead he silently took Camila Walker's hand, holding it tightly, as if he was afraid she might pull away.
Feeling the touch of his palm, Camila instinctively startled, turned her head, and was about to withdraw her hand from his grasp, only for him to grip it even tighter.
Aiden didn't look at her, his pair of dark eyes were fixed directly on Clayton Howard across from him, as if declaring something!
Camila struggled briefly, but ultimately she stopped, perhaps this outcome was for the best.
Thinking about this, she ceased struggling and simply let Aiden hold her hand.
She lifted her gaze, glanced briefly at the man opposite her, and then quietly lowered her head again, refusing to look at him directly.
Clayton naturally noticed their tightly clasped hands, and a surge of anger seemed to burn from within him, jealousy rising to his temples!
