\u201cLet\u2019s hope your new grandson checks every box for you,\u201d Curtis said, almost relieved as he glanced at Harold. \u201cBut until that day, the Lincoln Group answers to me\u2013and this family stays. afloat because of me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The warning was plain: until Denton grew wings, nobody would be wise to cross him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Harold glared, but Curtis had already laced his fingers with Adriana\u2019s and turned to go.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWait,\u201d Adriana said, something clicking into place. She faced Harold head\u2013on. \u201cMy baby may have been pushed to the edge by Belinda, but you \u2026 you wanted it gone too, didn\u2019t you? For profit. So, a grandson you never raised could inherit, yet you put a target on Curtis\u2019s own flesh and blood.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She put it in the open for everyone to choke on, making it clear to Harold that he\u2019d cut Curtis to the bone this time.\u00a0<\/p>\n
If he wanted to burn the bridge, then he shouldn\u2019t blame Curtis for hitting back later.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It was also a message to everyone in the Lincolns: if Curtis chose to defy Harold, or make moves that hurt Michael and Denton, no one should play the saint and try to guilt\u2013trip him with moralizing.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Harold had already gone so far for Michael\u2019s side that he\u2019d cost Curtis his own flesh and blood.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Guilt pricked the old man, but he\u2019d lived his whole life above reproach and couldn\u2019t stand open defiance; he jabbed a finger at Adriana\u2019s face. \u201cA woman like you isn\u2019t fit to bear a Lincoln child.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Curtis\u2019s grip on Adriana tightened. \u201cSo, you\u2019re admitting it\u2013Eva acted on your orders to get rid of Adriana\u2019s baby, didn\u2019t she? That was my child. How could you be that ruthless?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
His voice came out hoarse, trembling.\u00a0<\/p>\n
This time, the old man had cut too deep.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cShe can\u2019t keep her private life clean. Who knows whose brat it was!\u201d Harold snapped, grasping\u00a0<\/p>\n
at excuses.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cEven if you truly doubted it, you could\u2019ve waited for the birth and run a paternity test. But you chose the lie that suited you. In truth, you already picked between Michael and Curtis- you chose Michael. After this\u2026 don\u2019t blame Curtis for dropping the niceties.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

If it offended people, so be it; at least in this moment, she was worth her weight beside him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Curtis looked at Adriana and smiled, clearly endorsing every word.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Around them, Lincoln relatives traded uneasy looks; no one dared speak.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Curtis wasn\u2019t wrong\u2013until Denton grew his wings and married Nicole, the Lincoln Group and their cash lifelines still ran through him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Harold\u2019s breathing quickened; he pointed at Adriana. \u201cThe Lincolns don\u2019t recognize you as a granddaughter\u2013in\u2013law. Get out.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
His voice shook with rage, but the fury was just a mask for the panic underneath.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Off to the side, Justin watched, his gaze on Adriana growing darker, more intent.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She looked delicate, but when she spoke, the words landed with weight \u2026\u00a0<\/p>\n
Plainly, she was the only one here who truly ached for Curtis.\u00a0<\/p>\n
And the only one willing to risk offending the patriarch to argue entirely from Curtis\u2019s interests.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Smart girl. Brave, too.\u00a0<\/p>\n
From a certain angle, she even echoed Jeremy.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After Adriana left, Justin fired off a message to his team: dig into Adriana\u2014everything. He wanted a full read \u2026\u00a0<\/p>\n
He was even considering a quiet paternity test between Adriana and Jeremy.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMr. Harold, you mustn\u2019t get worked up,\u201d the butler said as Harold\u2019s breath rasped; he hurried forward to guide him to his room. \u201cPlease, rest first.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cCurtis, if you walk out of here without divorcing her today, I\u2019ll recognize your father and Denton as Lincolns the second you cross that threshold!\u201d Harold lurched to his feet, stabbing a finger at Curtis in threat.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Juliet and Michael\u2019s eyes lit up\u2013windfall, effortless.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In the living room, the core family looked at one another. They\u2019d burned their bridge with Curtis today; there was no going back. The only bet left was Denton.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMichael, the young Ms. Barton is right. Whoever marries her becomes the future head of the Lincoln Group\u2013and the next master of this family \u2026 \u201d Harry murmured, reminding Michael and Juliet.\u00a0<\/p>\n
