Chapter 208 Take Her Home\u00a0<\/p>\n
Curtis\u2018 eyes darkened. He gently rubbed Adrians head. From now on, think for yourself You can\u2019t just believe everything people say\u00a0<\/p>\n
Adriana gathered her courage and rebuked, \u201cBu think what he said male semer\u00a0<\/p>\n
After all, if Curtis married Nicole, he could get both the Lincolns\u2018 and Bartons fortunes. If h were Matthew, he would\u2019ve agreed already.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Curtis looked upset. \u201cSo if he tells you to go jump off a building, beca good for me, would you listen too?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Adriana shook her head quickly. Why would she ever do something like that?\u00a0<\/p>\n
No. She wouldn\u2019t kill herself.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She would just walk away.\u00a0<\/p>\n
rould be\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNot that foolish then.\u201d Curtis let out a half\u2013angry laugh. \u201cYou\u2019re a smart girl. Why do you let people trick you so easily?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Adriana felt embarrassed. She huffed, then turned over and buried her face deep in the pillow.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt only happens when it\u2019s something about you,\u201d she muttered quietly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She just cared too much about Curtis.\u00a0<\/p>\n
If it were about herself or anyone else, she would never let others lead her around so easily.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Curtis felt something stir deep in his chest. He almost reached out to pull her into his arms, wanting to comfort her. But just then, his phone rang. It was Justin.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Curtis\u2018 expression turned cold. He hadn\u2019t even looked for Justin yet, and now Justin had the nerve to call him first.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He didn\u2019t pick up. A moment later, the doorbell rang.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Curtis frowned. He checked the security camera. It was Justin.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In the middle of the night, looking this nervous. What was he up to?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Outside, Justin was desperately pressing the doorbell. When Curtis didn\u2019t open, he started banging on the door.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Curtis was in a vengeful mode. He was the why ie wat back on for its mad lazily watched Justin getting panicked outside the de\u00a0<\/p>\n
To be honest, Curtis had known justin for a ver on time, join me aped by the Bartons when he was eight. Curtis and he practilly grew up together. They knew each other better than anyone else.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Because their families focused on different areas and both of them held we podtone they always acted distant in public\u2013especially in front of Danielle and C they even appeared like they didn\u2019t get along\u00a0<\/p>\n
But Curtis knew Justin. Since they were kids, justin had always been\u00a0<\/p>\n
100 calm, it\u00a0<\/p>\n
felt like nothing could make him angry. When he first arrived at the Par her father had just moved back into the family to. She was afraid that an adopeed child might threaten her and her father\u2019s position, so the gathered a group of rich Kirk to bolly Justin.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Even when they pushed him into the mud, Justin would simply stand up quietly, not saying a word. His face showed nothing.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He was the kind of person who could rise above everyone despite being pushed down.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Everyone thought he was cold and easy to push around. Only Curtis knew the truth; Justin was quietly ruthless.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He never argued with those rich kids. He didn\u2019t fight back with words or play their games.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Justin believed it was pointless and would only cause trouble for Jeremy, which would hurt him in the long run.\u00a0<\/p>\n
So instead, when his bullies went into the equipment room, Justin would secretly lock them inside, then release snakes and mice.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He would drop a few casual words to stir up fights among Danielle\u2019s little group. And occasionally, he would accidentally make sure everyone overheard that Danielle was an illegitimate child, someone who came from the slums, not better than anyone else.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He wanted to watch her fall from her pedestal. He wanted to see Danielle\u2019s pride and her perfect mask torn apart.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Justin got his revenge in silence; he did it all with a calm, cold face. No one cou. was him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Curtis, back then, was also cold and distant. Maybe even scarier.\u00a0<\/p>\n
When Curtis was a child, he personally ended his mother\u2019s life. Harold tried to cover it up, but rumors still spread. People didn\u2019t know the entire truth, but they knew enough. No one\u00a0<\/p>\n
|||\u00a0<\/p>\n
L\u00a0<\/p>\n
2\/3\u00a0<\/p>\n
dared to get close to Curtis, nor did they dare to cross him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Curtis had never met someone quite like Justin before. In some ways, they were alike\u2013sharp, strategic, always calculating.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But they were also very different. Curtis never tolerated or held back. Justin, on the other hand, was skilled at hiding, masking emotions, and enduring quietly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Back when no one dared to get close to Curtis, Justin was the only on\u00a0<\/p>\n
Justin had looked him straight in the eye when he was just eight year\u00a0<\/p>\n
said, \u201cI know you need a friend. Someone who can help you, someone you can benea om. A mutual gain.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Even then, Curtis knew one thing clearly. Justin could only ever be an ally, never an enemy.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bang! The door shook loudly. Apparently, the doorbell wasn\u2019t working, so Justin decided to kick the door instead.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Curtis raised a brow. What now? Is Jeremy dead?\u00a0<\/p>\n
That didn\u2019t make sense. If Jeremy had really passed away, more people would be panicking than just Justin. Justin would be rushing back to Harborton immediately, not standing here kicking on his door.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The more curious Curtis became, the more he refused to open the door.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Since childhood, this was the first time he had seen Justin lose control.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Hmm, interesting.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cCurtis! Open the door!\u201d Outside, Justin\u2019s voice was raw and forceful. The man who was usually as calm and distant as a saint was completely breaking composure.\u00a0<\/p>\n
When Curtis still didn\u2019t respond, Justin inhaled deeply, struggling to regain control.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The moment he received the DNA results, the only thing on his mind was racing here and taking Adriana home.\u00a0<\/p>\n
