Adriana nodded.
She had started preparing for this competition as soon as she came to Pastalia.
She absolutely could not lose.
Because in this competition, her biggest rival was Danielle.
She had to steal the reputation Danielle wanted.
Otherwise, it would give Danielle a chance to return to the Bartons and fight for the inheritance.
“Adriana…” Irene held Adriana’s hand, hesitating to speak.
She wanted to tell Adriana that she was the true heir to the Bartons.
But she also felt that Curtis should be the one to tell her this secret.

In Haldoria, Danielle was diligently working on her design drawings in her office when she received a call from overseas.
It was Natasha’s cousin, Cheryl.
“Danielle, Adriana might be coming back to compete against you in the Haldoria architectural design competition! I overheard her conversation with her professor.” Cheryl called Danielle anxiously.
Danielle’s expression darkened. “What exactly were they discussing?”
“They were speaking in Pastalian. I didn’t study hard enough when I was learning languages. I didn’t understand everything, but… she’s already finished her design work and had her professor review it and give feedback. She said she’s using that piece for the competition.” Cheryl was a bit embarrassed.
Danielle frowned, cursing “useless” in her mind. “Here’s what you do. Find a way to get Adriana’s design work and send it to me.”
Cheryl hesitated. “Danielle, our professor is very serious about intellectual property protection. He definitely keeps Adriana’s design work well protected. I…”

“Cheryl, I remember you’ve always wanted to make a name for yourself in architectural design so your family won’t be overshadowed by your cousin’s family anymore, right? If you help me this time, my position back home… will be unshakeable. When you return, whatever you want will be yours for the taking.” Danielle’s lips curved up as she tempted Cheryl.
Cheryl was silent for a long time, thinking for a moment before speaking, “Danielle, I’ll find a way to get Adriana’s design.”
In Pastalia, when Adriana came out of her professor’s office, she happened to run into Cheryl.
Cheryl snorted coldly at Adriana, still with that arrogant attitude, and walked into the professor’s office carrying a stack of materials.
Adriana watched Cheryl enter the office, her lips curving up.
That day, she had known Cheryl was eavesdropping outside and deliberately told her professor she was going back home to participate in the design competition, because Cheryl would definitely tell Danielle.
Adriana understood that Jeremy’s body probably couldn’t hold on much longer. She had to go back. The burden of the Bartons would fall on her shoulders sooner or later. She had to use this design competition to make a name for herself in the industry and take over Barton Group with authority and crush Danielle and Chandler underfoot to show them who’s boss.
And Cheryl was the perfect pawn.
Danielle was fundamentally an insecure woman. She knew very well that Adriana had exceptional talent in architectural design. Worried that her own work wouldn’t measure up, she would definitely cheat.
Hidden around the corner in the hallway, Adriana saw Cheryl get the professor out of the room, then access his computer.
Obviously, she was going to steal Adriana’s design work for Danielle.
This was just the bait Adriana had deliberately put out.
Adriana had already had her professor submit and archive the original of this work on the international architectural design competition website.
Before the international architectural design competition announced its results, Danielle wouldn’t be able to find anything about this design online, so Danielle would definitely boldly plagiarize her design.

In Harborton, Jeremy was now so weak he was barely recognizable. The doctor prescribed one last powerful injection so he could wait for Adriana to come home.
“Adriana… is she back yet?” Jeremy’s voice was weak and hoarse.
“Mr. Barton, her flight arrives tomorrow. Don’t worry.” Justin said softly, his eyes reddening.
Everyone said Justin was the Bartons‘ dog, that he was Jeremy’s dog… but no matter what others said, Justin remembered his kindness.
The debt of raising is greater than the debt of birth–this was something Justin had always kept in his heart.
He was an orphan. Without Jeremy, he wouldn’t be where he is today.
He wasn’t a greedy person by nature, which was why he’d been able to resist corruption all these years and maintain his principles.
“Did you tell Adriana…” Jeremy gripped Justin’s hand, worried that Adriana wouldn’t be able to accept the fact that she was the true Barton heir.
“Curtis should have already told her.” Justin reassured him again. “Mr. Barton, don’t worry. Adriana isn’t someone who can’t see the big picture.”
Jeremy nodded.
He had failed Adriana, failed to protect her or her parents.
The tragedy that befell the Bartons back then was his failure as an elder.
“Beep, beep, beep… ” Suddenly, the medical equipment in the room started beeping frantically. Justin looked in panic at Jeremy, whose breathing was becoming more and more labored. “Mr. Barton! Mr. Barton… you have to hold on. You’ve held on for so long. You have to wait for Adriana to come back!”
