Tempted By My Ex's Brother-in-Law (Aria and Grayson) novel Chapter 215

Chapter 215

The crowd turned with one violent swing of attention

Eren strode into the ring.

For half a second I thought I’d misheard Eren. Both he and Grayson had won. So why bother?

Then I saw his face. He was serious.

He wanted to defeat Grayson and his legend to prove who was the strongest man here.

The applause that broke out around us was deafening. Frostpine loved strength, but it loved audacity even more. Men and women leapt to their feet, chanting Eren’s name. Even some of the older guests who had looked half asleep all afternoon suddenly came alive.

Sable slapped the stone armrest in delight. “Oh, this is finally getting interesting!”

“It’s ridiculous,” I snapped.

Eren ignored the uproar and looked straight at Grayson. “I want a one–on–one.”

I wanted to yell at him. Luckily, one of the judges stood up before me. “That is not part of the announced order.”

The crowd booed him down so hard he almost sat back out of instinct.

“Let them fight!”

“Let Eren have his chance!”

“Do it! Prove to Lady Aria who really deserves her!”

It turned ugly and excited in an instant.

I rose halfway from my seat again and let my voice be heard by the entire arena. “No rule that says competitors can challenge each other. Eren, you go back right now.”

The crowd fell silent. Nobody dared challenge me publicly. But I could feel their displease in that silence.

Yet I didn’t give a fuck. As long as I could stop this nonsense.

Just as I thought this whole thing was over, Grayson suddenly turned toward Eren.

“Fine,” he said. “I accept your challenge.”

The crowd lost its mind.

I shut my eyes for one second in frustration and then sunk back down to my seat. Sable was practically glowing beside me.

“You can’t seriously think you can stop this, can you? Those two men both have a huge ego. They would never allow another strong presence beside them,” she whispered.

I didn’t answer. My palm was sweating again.

The whole arena was on its feet now. Even the candidates waiting below had crowded closer. Rhys stood with his arms folded, his expression unreadable, though I caught the edge

The gong sounded again.

Eren came at Grayson immediately.

I gripped the stone rail so hard my fingers hurt.

The injury was slowing him.

The next time Eren charged, something in Grayson’s move changed

I saw it before the crowd did.

The way storm clouds go still before they break.

“Oh, you’re mad at him” she said. “But was that for breaking the rules? Or for putting Alpha Grayson in danger?”
