Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what flavor the next one will be. Adrian had deeply realized the meaning of this phrase. If only he had been a little more attentive at the time, he wouldn't have been set up like this, though he hadn't failed to notice the suspicious aspects. Unfortunately, words like "if only I could be reborn" are meaningless.
Falling for it was certainly related to the other party's clever tricks, which were almost impossible to detect from the exterior. But Adrian definitely had been too frivolous and hasty, underestimating his opponent, always thinking he had complete control of the situation, always thinking that dealing with this person would be a simple task, and so on. Even the smartest people, falling into these traps, get deceived. Famous people falling for simple scams is common, all the more so for Adrian.
