Jeremy nodded. That was all they could do for now.

Nicole’s marriage to Curtis involved both families.

“Nicole, don’t take everything your grandpa says at face value. Old folks get blind to the truth and always favor their own illegitimate kids,” Irene said, her voice dripping with mockery as she continued to smooth Nicole’s hair.

Nicole flinched slightly, looking at Irene nervously.

Irene’s expression softened. “Sorry, sweetheart, I didn’t mean to hurt you. Your hair is so dry. I’ll take you to get it treated one of these days.”

Nicole nodded.

Irene leaned back in the chair and deliberately slipped a few strands of Nicole’s hair into her handbag.

She didn’t trust Chandler or Danielle. With those two rats around, she felt it was impossible for Nicole to have been found so easily.

Meanwhile, Curtis had been called away by Harold, leaving Adriana alone on the couch.

Kelsey, frustrated after being bested by Irene, decided to vent some of her anger on Adriana to reclaim a bit of dignity.

“Nicole is back now. If you have any sense, you’ll go to Curtis and demand a divorce. Don’t wait for us to kick you out,” she scoffed from the side. “And don’t forget to take that bracelet off your wrist. That belongs to our family.”

Adriana calmly looked at Kelsey, recognizing her hysteria, and repeated gently, “Your family?”

Kelsey furrowed her brows, angered, slapping the table. “What do you mean by that?”

Adriana smiled faintly. “I’m just a little curious. From what Irene just said, you don’t seem to really belong to the Bartons. Your husband is Jeremy’s illegitimate child, right? The Barton name … comes from Jeremy’s wife’s family, doesn’t it?”

A child might take their mother’s surname, but an illegitimate child taking the legitimate wife’s surname? Chandler and Danielle truly had no shame, doing such things to squeeze into

high society.

Hearing this, Kelsey completely lost it. She wasn’t refined to begin with and now, in full frenzy, she stood up

and accidentally knocked a decorative item off the table. “What did you just say? you think you are to speak to me like that? You’re just a kept woman, a shameless

mistress!”

At the commotion, Chandler, Curtis, and Matthew all came over.

“What’s all the noise about?” Chandler frowned.

Adriana felt pity for Kelsey. In this household, she only dared to bully those beneath her. Adriana was the only one she could pick on.

“What’s going on?” Curtis asked, approaching with concern.

I just stepped away for a moment, and Adriana is already being bullied. I really can’t leave her alone for long.

Adriana sniffled, feigning a sense of grievance as she looked at Curtis. “It’s nothing. Kelsey is right. I don’t belong here.”

Curtis’s face darkened instantly as he turned toward Kelsey. “And what’s your status, exactly?

“You’re just the wife of an illegitimate child, yet you dare say someone else doesn’t belong here?” Irene leaned against the doorframe, mocking Kelsey.

Kelsey was on the verge of losing it, breathing heavily. “What did you just say?!”

Chandler frowned. “Enough. Go to your room!”

Kelsey held back, then stormed angrily back to her room.

Irene smirked. “I’m in a good mood today with Nicole back, so I won’t stick around for dinner. See ya.”

With that, Irene blew a kiss at Curtis, winked, and left.

“Finally!” Jeremy exhaled, relieved. “Alright, everyone, take your seats! I have an important announcement.”

Everyone settled down, and Jeremy looked at Matthew.

“Matthew’s here too, so the Langfords can be witnesses.”

Matthew nodded.

“Nicole is the only heir of the Bartons. From now on, everything in the Bartons belongs to Nicole,” Harold announced openly, making sure Danielle and Chandler heard every word.

Danielle and Chandler’s faces fell, but they said nothing.

When they returned to the Bartons, they had sworn to Harold that they wouldn’t covet a single penny, but with such enormous wealth at stake, could they really resist?

“Nicole and Curtis have a marriage contract. Nicole, this is Curtis,” Harold introduced Curtis to Nicole, completely ignoring Adriana’s presence.

Adriana felt awkward, lowering her head.

Nicole glanced at Curtis, shyly lowering her gaze. “Hi, Curtis …

“”

“This is my wife, Adriana,” Curtis said, nodding at Nicole as he introduced Adriana.

Nicole froze, staring at Adriana. She couldn’t bring herself to greet Adriana.

“Curtis, Nicole is your fiancée-” Danielle tried to intervene.

“You didn’t grow up in the Bartons, so maybe your manners aren’t perfect, but it’s not hard to acknowledge my wife, is it?” Curtis interrupted sharply, fixing her with a serious look.
