Chapter 210 A Twist of Fate\u00a0<\/p>\n
If one day the real heiress fell in love with Justin she would naturally tell Jeremy herself. Jeremy adores his granddaughter. Justin has the skills and the charm, so he would probably agree to their marriage without hesitation.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Justin stared at Curtis, his eyes filled with something complicated.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Curtis frowned at his buddy suspiciously. \u201cWhy are you looking at me like that?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Justin drew a deep breath. \u201cWill you give Ms. Barton to me?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Curtis leaned back on the couch, calm and casual. \u201cOf course. Didn\u2019t we already agree on that?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Justin watched him seriously. \u201cI went to Nera Club today to deliver Mr. Barton\u2019s message. He wants Adriana to file for divorce with you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The air around Curtis turned heavy. \u201cAre you upset because I didn\u2019t blame you for what happened earlier?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Justin shook his head. \u201cAdriana panicked and broke a glass. She used a tissue to stop the bleeding and put it on the table. I took that tissue and used her blood for a DNA test with Jeremy.\u201d He paused, then said it clearly. \u201cAdriana is the real heiress of the Bartons.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
At first, Justin had wanted to keep it from Curtis hoping he could find a way to make them divorce. But making Curtis his enemy? He knew he wouldn\u2019t win.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSo,\u201d Justin demanded bluntly, \u201cI\u2019m asking you to divorce Adriana.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Curtis should get a divorce. He wanted to marry Adriana himself.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Curtis didn\u2019t react for a long time. His mind went completely blank.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It felt like Justin was speaking another language.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After a long silence, Curtis suddenly stood up, staring at Justin. \u201cWhat did you just say? Say again.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Adriana is the real heiress! The real Nicole!\u00a0<\/p>\n
Could there really be such a crazy coincidence?\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou must have noticed,\u201d Justin said quietly, \u201cAdriana looks a lot like Jeremy\u2019s late wife. Much more than that fake heiress.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
III\u00a0<\/p>\n
<\u00a0<\/p>\n
1\/3\u00a0<\/p>\n
Curtis stood there, frozen. He didn\u2019t say a word.\u00a0<\/p>\n
From the bedroom, Adriana peeked out, wearing only Curtis\u2019s shirt. She had come to check why Curtis wasn\u2019t returning after answering the door. \u201cCurtis!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She didn\u2019t expect a guest this late. When she saw Justin, she quickly turned around and hid behind the doorframe, showing only half of her face. \u201cYou two\u2026\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Justin looked at Curtis one last time. \u201cYou have tonight to think it over. You prom let me have Ms. Barton.\u201d Then, he sensibly left.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Curtis rubbed the center of his brows, still stunned, even after Justin was already gone.\u00a0<\/p>\n
His wife was the Bartons\u2018 true heiress?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Haha.\u00a0<\/p>\n
What a strange, twisted kind of fate.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cCurtis?\u201d Adriana looked worried. \u201cDid you two have a fight?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Curtis glanced at her, his expression complicated. He held out his arms. \u201cCome here. Hug.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Adriana opened the door, ran straight to him, and jumped into his arms. \u201cDid something happen?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNothing serious. For me, it\u2019s actually good news. But for Justin, things don\u2019t look so great,\u201d Curtis admitted, sounding a little guilty.\u00a0<\/p>\n
For him, being forced to marry someone turned out to be the very girl he already wanted to protect, it felt like winning the lottery.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But Justin \u2026\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Bartons\u2018 inheritance would definitely go to Adriana. If he didn\u2019t marry her, Justin wouldn\u2019t get even a small share.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Years ago, Justin and Curtis teamed up, hoping they could both win.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Now, the situation had turned into something tricky.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHe and Mr. Barton want us to get divorced,\u201d Adriana said in disappointment. \u201cThey want you to marry Nicole.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAhem.\u201d Curtis cleared his throat. \u201cNo. He doesn\u2019t want me to marry Nicole anymore.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHuh? He changed his mind?\u201d Adriana stared at him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
2\/3\u00a0<\/p>\n
Curtis sighed and nodded helplessly. \u201cYeah. Now he wants to marry her himself\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Adriana\u2019s mind turned blank. Justin wanted to marry Nicole?\u00a0<\/p>\n
For some reason, Adriana felt Nicole wasn\u2019t good enough for Justin.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAnyway,\u201d Curtis said in a low, warning tone, \u201cstay away from Justin from now on.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Justin had a dangerously charming face. Curtis didn\u2019t trust that.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou hear me?\u201d When Adriana didn\u2019t respond fast enough, he leaned over and play\u2026 bit her out of jealousy.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Adriana laughed and nodded. \u201cOkay.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
In her mind, Curtis was overthinking it. Justin only had eyes for Ms. Barton. There was no way he\u2019d ever be interested in her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Adriana figured Curtis was overthinking it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
That night, Adriana slept peacefully. Curtis didn\u2019t.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He sent Justin a message, warning him to keep quiet for now and not let any rumors spread. If people found out too soon, Adriana could be in real danger.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Justin never replied.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Curtis sat alone on the balcony, smoking through the night, frustration growing with every breath.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Being the real heiress of the Bartons \u2026 He didn\u2019t know if it would bring Adriana fortune or destruction.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She\u2019d lived most of her life as an orphan, bullied and mistreated. If she suddenly learned she was the sole heir to the Bartons\u2018 empire, what kind of impact would that have?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Would it lift her up or break her?\u00a0<\/p>\n
It wasn\u2019t just the shock of status. There was still the mystery behind her biological paren. deaths. Even now, no one knew the full truth.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Everyone suspected Chandler. But Chandler hid too well and cleaned everything too perfectly. And Adriana was so trusting. How could she ever compete against Chandler and\u00a0<\/p>\n
Danielle?\u00a0<\/p>\n
