Chapter 205 Forcing Out of the Lincolns\u00a0<\/p>\n
10 Free Cone\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYes, Mr. Lincoln.\u201d Ronan nodded quickly and changed the subject, knowing comforting Adriana was the smarter move right now. \u201cMrs. Lincoln, are you happy with our\u00a0<\/p>\n
Adriana nodded and looked at Yolanda. \u201cYolanda, try it. It\u2019s really good.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Yolanda sat down and took a bite. The taste and ingredients were excellent.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Both Adriana and Yolanda were pleased; Ronan finally relaxed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Noticing Ronan was still standing there, Yolanda got the hint. \u201cAdriana, are you full?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Adriana nodded.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cCome on, I\u2019ll take you outside. The place looks amazing. Perfect for pictures and Instagram.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Yolanda held her hand and walked out with her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ronan turned to Curtis and hurriedly apologized, \u201cMr. Lincoln, I\u2019m really sorry. I didn\u2019t expect the Joneses to act so shameless, pretending they still owned Nera Club.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Curtis didn\u2019t even look upset. \u201cFor now, we should keep a low profile. Avoid unnecessary trouble. Get the development rights for Vledo as soon as possible.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBut \u2026 \u201d Ronan hesitated. \u201cThe Langfords are determined to win Vledo. Matthew does have some power, and his family is a long\u2013standing family here. Their network is wider.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ll compete for the Vledo project using Lincoln Group\u2019s name,\u201d Curtis said casually, leaning back in his chair and tapping his fingers on the table. \u201cThe developers won\u2019t risk offending either Lincoln Group or Langford Group. Ainsworth Group will slip in and take it.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ronan almost choked on his drink. He gave Curtis a thumbs\u2013up. Two big names teaming up in secret to go against one Matthew. Smart.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Curtis raised an eyebrow, unconcerned. Matthew had made the first dirty move, after all.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Did Matthew really think he didn\u2019t know who was behind the mess involving Micha Denton?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Yolanda pulled Adriana through the grand halls of Nera Club. \u201cLet me tell you, so many big shots visited today. The guy earlier? He\u2019s the CEO of Ainsworth Group. Over there are some of the top names in Haldoria. And those pretty women? A\u2013lister celebrities.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Adriana was a little surprised. They really were very popular stars.\u00a0<\/p>\n
1\/3\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMiss Adriana,\u201d someone called from behind just as she and Yolanda were about to explore another area.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Adriana turned around and blinked in surprise. It was Justin.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He looked the same as always, calm and refined, with a quiet elegance that drew attention without trying.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMs. Adriana,\u201d he said smoothly, \u201cI heard Ms. Nicole caused trouble today an from the club. I\u2019d like to apologize on her behalf Would it be possible to spc. alone?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Adriana hesitated, then nodded. Honestly, it was hard to refuse a man who looked that stunning.\u00a0<\/p>\n
oved\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ou\u00a0<\/p>\n
Beside her, Yolanda practically stopped breathing. She grabbed Adriana\u2019s arm and whispered, eyes wide, \u201cGirl, who is that? He\u2019s better\u2013looking than most A\u2013list actors.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Yolanda was officially starstruck.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Justin really was that handsome.\u00a0<\/p>\n
And Yolanda was the type who always admired attractive men, but she was also very clear about her goals. Yolanda wanted to marry into rich, helping her family to secure powerful alliances. To enter Nera Club, a man\u2019s family background had to be above hers. Yolanda only got in today thanks to Adriana. But Justin entered by himself.\u00a0<\/p>\n
That could only mean one thing\u2013top\u2013tier, high\u2013status, and wealthy.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She used to think men like Curtis and Matthew were the top of the food chain. She never imagined there would be someone like this she hadn\u2019t even heard of.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Adriana leaned close and whispered to her, \u201cHe\u2019s with the Bartons. Jeremy\u2019s foster son. Nicole\u2019s overly loyal butler.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Honestly, when Justin was with Nicole, he was so obedient he felt like a programmed robot.\u00a0<\/p>\n
No personal thoughts, no soul, just following orders.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Yolanda made a face. \u201cUgh. If he sticks with Nicole, that tells me everything.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAlright, I\u2019ll give you two some space.\u201d Yolanda headed to the lounge area, though she kept glancing back, mostly just to admire how handsome Justin looked.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Adriana and Justin moved to sit somewhere quieter. \u201cMr. Hotchner, what did you need to talk about?\u201d she said calmly. \u201cIf you\u2019re here to apologize for Nicole, that\u2019s already done.\u201d She honestly had no idea what else he wanted to talk about.\u00a0<\/p>\n
III\u00a0<\/p>\n
2\/3\u00a0<\/p>\n
Justin looked at her with quiet regret \u201cMs. Adriana, Mr. Barton asked me to speak with you. Mr. Harold is getting old. He wants his son and grandson back home. He\u2019s eve considering transferring the inheritance to Denton. Mr. Harold personally spoke to my father, hoping Nicole would marry Denton\u00a0<\/p>\n
He had said it clearly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Curtis was on the verge of being forced out of his family.\u00a0<\/p>\n
A waiter came over, gently poured a glass of water for each of them, then\u00a0<\/p>\n
way.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Adriana wrapped her hands around the cup, distracted. She already knew what Justin was about to say.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Justin looked at her with genuine sincerity. \u201cAccording to the original agreement, Curtis would inherit from the family if he married Nicole. But now, he married you.\u201d He paused, letting the words sink in. \u201cSo, Mr. Barton wants me to discuss this with you. If you\u2019re willing to leave Curtis, he can still keep his inheritance.\u00a0<\/p>\n
