**When Time Tried to Heal Me But I Refused to Listen by Kael Niro Senn**
\n**Chapter 201: No Longer Afraid**<\/p>\n
Adriana had an epiphany: all she truly needed to do was listen to her heart. Nothing else mattered in that moment.<\/p>\n
\u201cAre you feeling scared?\u201d Yolanda\u2019s voice was playful as she wrapped her arm around Adriana\u2019s shoulder, a broad grin lighting up her face. \u201cSweetie, come on, don\u2019t be such a good girl. Sometimes, that\u2019s not the best way to go.\u201d<\/p>\n
Adriana shook her head vigorously, a spark of excitement igniting within her. \u201cI\u2019m not scared at all! The next time she talks trash, I\u2019ll hit her again, just like I did before.\u201d<\/p>\n
Yolanda burst into laughter, playfully tapping the top of Adriana\u2019s head. \u201cThat\u2019s my girl! Starting tomorrow, I\u2019ll whip you into shape with some kickboxing training. Just give me six months, and you\u2019ll be able to take on ten people at once!\u201d<\/p>\n
Adriana\u2019s laughter rang out, contagious and bright, as she nodded enthusiastically.<\/p>\n
At that moment, the door swung open, and Cheryl stumbled into the office, her demeanor exaggeratedly pitiful. She rushed forward, eager to be the first to complain. \u201cProfessor, I just called my family! My cousin is on her way right now. She\u2019s the heiress of the Joneses and is about to marry into the Langford Group!\u201d<\/p>\n
Cheryl\u2019s tone was laced with pride, and she repeated the titles of Natasha, her cousin, as if they were golden badges of honor.<\/p>\n
Yolanda rolled her eyes, unimpressed. \u201cSoon to be married into the Langfords? That\u2019s not even finalized yet. What if Matthew decides not to marry her? That would be quite embarrassing, wouldn\u2019t it?\u201d<\/p>\n
With a cheeky smile, she casually pointed at Adriana. \u201cProfessor, this girl here is the legal wife of the CEO of Lincoln Group. Certified and real, unlike someone who\u2019s still lost in daydreams.\u201d<\/p>\n
The professor glanced between the two groups, clearly aware that both sides were formidable forces she couldn\u2019t afford to offend.<\/p>\n
\u201cHmph, the wife of Lincoln Group\u2019s CEO?\u201d A cold, condescending voice cut through the air as Natasha strutted into the room, her chin held high. \u201cCurtis is about to be ousted from his family. Haven\u2019t you heard?\u201d<\/p>\n
Adriana met Natasha\u2019s gaze, her voice dripping with sweetness as she replied, \u201cOh, I heard that Matthew broke off the engagement. He came to tell me himself that he doesn\u2019t want to marry you anymore.\u201d<\/p>\n
In an instant, Natasha\u2019s expression darkened, her eyes narrowing. \u201cAdriana, let\u2019s see how long you can afford to be so arrogant.\u201d<\/p>\n
Adriana placed her hands defiantly on her hips, a smirk playing on her lips. \u201cI plan to enjoy every moment of it while it lasts.\u201d<\/p>\n
Natasha turned her attention to the professor, her voice sharp. \u201cShe hit someone. She must be punished.\u201d<\/p>\n
Adriana blinked innocently, feigning ignorance. \u201cDo you have any proof that I hit her?\u201d<\/p>\n
Cheryl, fuming with anger, pointed at her own face. \u201cMy injury is proof! The entire class witnessed it. They can all testify!\u201d<\/p>\n
Adriana rolled her eyes dramatically. \u201cYou\u2019ve bribed the whole class to spread lies before. Your words don\u2019t hold any weight.\u201d<\/p>\n
Cheryl\u2019s teeth clenched in fury, her frustration palpable.<\/p>\n
With a chilling smile, Natasha leaned closer. \u201cProfessor, I recall that the international class lacks many resources. My fianc\u00e9 is the CEO of Langford Group. Their strategic center is right here in Haldoria. Unlike the Lincoln Group, which is just a company from Harborton.\u201d<\/p>\n
Her tone was a thinly veiled threat directed at the professor.<\/p>\n
\u201cMs. Jones, is it really necessary to drag your fianc\u00e9\u2019s reputation into this to intimidate people? That\u2019s honestly quite pathetic.\u201d The voice came from the entrance as Curtis stepped into the room, his presence commanding attention.<\/p>\n
Adriana\u2019s eyes lit up with surprise and delight. \u201cCurtis!\u201d<\/p>\n
She dashed towards him, wrapping her arms around him in a warm embrace. \u201cYou\u2019re back? I thought you wouldn\u2019t return for a long time!\u201d<\/p>\n
Curtis smiled softly, his voice filled with a protective affection that made Adriana\u2019s heart race. \u201cI was worried you might get bitten by a dog, so I came to check if any rabid creatures were roaming around the university today.\u201d<\/p>\n
Cheryl glared at him, but the venom in her eyes was tempered by fear; she knew better than to provoke Curtis. All she could do was grit her teeth and remain silent.<\/p>\n
Natasha frowned at Curtis, her annoyance evident. \u201cMr. Lincoln, I heard there\u2019s a new heir for your family. Considering you might soon be kicked out, perhaps you should keep a low profile and avoid making enemies.\u201d<\/p>\n
Curtis raised an eyebrow, amusement flickering in his eyes. \u201cDo you really think you\u2019re worthy of being my opponent?\u201d His tone was calm, but there was a hint of mockery that made Natasha bristle. He then turned to the professor, asking, \u201cIs there any surveillance in the classroom?\u201d<\/p>\n
The professor wiped the sweat from his brow, shaking his head rapidly. He was acutely aware that none of these individuals were people he could afford to offend. Even if there were cameras, he had to protect himself. \u201cSorry, the system\u2019s broken.\u201d<\/p>\n
Curtis nodded, a satisfied smile on his lips. \u201cGood. No cameras, no proof. How could you accuse us of hurting anyone? Ms. Jones, if you keep pushing this, it could get serious.\u201d<\/p>\n
The professor quickly interjected, \u201cMs. Jones, I don\u2019t think your cousin is seriously hurt. Why don\u2019t we just drop this whole issue?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cDrop it? Who says so!\u201d Natasha snapped, her determination unwavering. \u201cCurtis, do you really think you\u2019re still the same person you once were? Without your inheritance, do you think anyone still cares what you say?\u201d<\/p>\n
Curtis regarded her with a mocking smile, thinking how some people were truly oblivious. Did they honestly believe that once he was removed from the company, he would become powerless and easy to manipulate? He met their gazes directly, his voice steady. \u201cI heard that Ainsworth Group has taken over most of your family\u2019s assets. You\u2019re barely holding on, yet you still have the audacity to act all high and mighty here?\u201d<\/p>\n
Natasha\u2019s expression shifted, a flicker of fear crossing her features. How did Curtis know about the Ainsworth Group\u2019s recent maneuvers against her family business? Did he actually have connections with the owner?<\/p>\n
Forcing a cold laugh, Natasha replied, \u201cSo what if you know their boss? You only built those connections because of your current status. Once you fall from grace, no one will even spare a glance at you.\u201d<\/p>\n
She then turned her attention back to the professor, her voice dripping with authority. \u201cAs the sponsor of the international class, I am requesting disciplinary action against the student who instigated this fight.\u201d<\/p>\n
The professor looked increasingly nervous. \u201cT-there\u2019s no evidence of who started it.\u201d<\/p>\n
Natasha was relentless in her pursuit. Just then, Matthew walked into the room. \u201cAre you done?\u201d<\/p>\n
Cheryl stiffened, her unease palpable. \u201cM-Matthew\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
Matthew\u2019s gaze fell on Adriana, concern etched across his features. \u201cAdriana, did she hurt you?\u201d<\/p>\n
Instead of answering, Adriana instinctively hid behind Curtis, seeking the comfort of his presence.<\/p>\n
Curtis smirked inwardly, a rush of excitement coursing through him. It seemed like Adriana was beginning to rely on him once more, and the thought filled him with a sense of purpose.<\/p>\n
As the tension in the room began to dissipate, Adriana felt an overwhelming sense of empowerment wash over her. The confrontation with Natasha and Cheryl had been daunting, but with Curtis by her side, she discovered a newfound strength within herself. No longer the timid girl who shied away from conflict, she embraced her boldness, ready to stand her ground and defend her place in this chaotic world. The laughter shared with Yolanda echoed in her mind, reminding her that she was capable of more than she had ever imagined. She had finally learned to listen to her heart, and it was guiding her toward a brighter, more assertive future.<\/p>\n
Curtis\u2019s presence was a comforting anchor amidst the storm of drama and insecurities that surrounded her. With each supportive glance and reassuring word, he reignited the spark of confidence that had flickered for too long. Adriana understood now that she wasn\u2019t just fighting for herself; she was fighting for the love and support she had found in Curtis, Yolanda, and her true friends. The journey ahead would undoubtedly be filled with challenges, but for the first time, she felt ready to embrace them head-on, unafraid and unyielding. In that moment, Adriana knew she had transformed \u2014 no longer afraid, she was ready to carve out her own destiny.<\/p>\n
