After the young maid went into the kitchen, Justin finally spoke, his tone steady. “There are too many people watching Mr. Barton. I know why you insisted on keeping me here. If you’re going to put on a show, then do it properly. Make it look real enough for people to believe.”
Adriana caught his meaning right away. There were simply too many eyes on them.
After all, their relationship would directly determine whether Barton Group remained stable.
“Have some more soup.” Adriana smiled faintly as she served him another bowl. Sitting there together, they looked perfectly matched.
In the kitchen, the young maid secretly took photos of them smiling and talking over dinner and sent them straight to Savannah.
She’d been placed in the Barton Estate by Mister to watch Jeremy. After Jeremy passed away, her task shifted to keeping an eye on Justin and Adriana.
Savannah was now her handler.
Naturally, Savannah told her to monitor Justin and Adriana closely.
“If you want to fool others, you have to fool yourself first.” Justin used the serving fork to put food on Adriana’s plate. Then, he casually leaned over and turned off her phone.
Adriana knew exactly what he was doing. He was intentionally stirring Curtis up outside.
Keeping her expression calm, Adriana smiled and used her own fork to pick some food for Justin. “You’re right.”
Justin knew she was provoking him. She had used her personal fork. If he ate it, it would be extremely suggestive, especially since she knew how picky he was about cleanliness.
Normally, his habits wouldn’t allow him to eat food touched by someone else’s fork.
The two of them were locked in a silent battle. But to outsiders, it looked like subtle flirting.
The young maid panicked and quickly messaged Savannah, saying Adriana had personally served Justin food. It was clearly deliberate,
Savannah was so anxious that she called immediately.
“Did Justin eat the food Adriana gave him?” she asked urgently. She needed to know where Justin stood.
If he ate it, there was a strong chance he’d marry Adriana.
Everyone in their circle knew Justin’s obsession with cleanliness wasn’t just physical–it ran deep emotionally as well.

He’d followed Christianity for years, kept his distance from women, and never had rumors. All of it traced back to painful experiences from his childhood.
That was also why Justin and Curtis had become close in private. They carried similar wounds.
The difference was that Justin’s trauma came from his early days in the orphanage.
“He… he ate it…” the maid replied, gasping.
Justin had actually eaten the food Adriana served him.
Even Adriana was caught off guard.
Honestly, Justin didn’t have to go that far. They had just been subtly challenging each other.
She’d only meant to tease him. She thought he’d dodge it by changing the subject or choosing another dish. Instead, Justin calmly picked up the food and ate it.
It was just one bite, but Savannah understood the meaning.
Whether it was an act or not, it meant Justin was comfortable with Adriana being close to him.
“Damn it!” Savannah shouted into the phone, smashing things in anger. “Why does she get so lucky to become Jeremy’s granddaughter?!”
Savannah had never believed Justin could truly fall for Adriana. She thought he was just repaying a favor, honoring his debt to Jeremy.
She even believed that even if he married Adriana out of responsibility, he’d never truly accept her.
But that single bite proved he could accept Adriana physically.
That completely shattered Savannah’s composure.
After hanging up, Savannah immediately called Danielle.
Justin and Adriana were getting way too close. If they kept living together, feelings would naturally grow. “You need to act fast. Don’t you want to stop them from getting married? Where’s your plan?”
Danielle didn’t look any better. “I’ve said it before–Adriana’s best talent is charming men. First Matthew, then Curtis, and now Justin!”
Savannah sat on the couch, biting her finger anxiously. If they get married, we won’t have any chance left. Once Adriana secures her place in Barton Group, you and your father won’t stand a chance.”
Danielle fell silent, knowing exactly what that meant. “I still have one last option.”
Savannah’s eyes lit up.

“All these years, Justin hasn’t only been searching for Nicole. He’s also been secretly looking for another woman. I overheard it once by accident. Her name is Susan. She was his friend back at the orphanage. He was nine when that old man adopted him. Before that, he lived at Riverwyn Orphanage. Susan must mean a lot to him.”
Danielle knew she had no real way into Justin’s heart. The harm she’d done by bullying him in the past couldn’t be undone. The only card she had left was someone Justin truly cared about.
