Chapter 212 The Fall Before the Crash\u00a0<\/p>\n
Justin used to give Nicole everything she wanted He didn\u2019t mind spending money on her. because one day, when the truth finally came out, he would take back every single thing with\u00a0<\/p>\n
interest\u00a0<\/p>\n
She thought the inheritance belonged to her? What a joke.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Before Justin knew Nicole was a fake, he had already been hesitant. Marryin her, even if it was just for show, made his skin crawl.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After he learned she was fake, he actually felt relieved,\u00a0<\/p>\n
He looked out the car window toward the university,\u00a0<\/p>\n
Now that he knew the real heiress was Adriana, he couldn\u2019t help but feel grateful.\u00a0<\/p>\n

ACE\u00a0<\/p>\n
Classroom.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Adriana and Yolanda had just taken their seats when Nicole walked in, surrounded by a group of classmates.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMs. Nicole, is it true you\u2019re the only heir of the Bartons?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Being the heiress of the Bartons allowed Nicole to get everything she wanted wherever she\u00a0<\/p>\n
went.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She puffed up her chest proudly and said with a smirk, \u201cOf course. The one and only heiress of the Bartons is me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Nicole stopped by Adriana\u2019s desk, purposely speaking loud enough for everyone to hear. \u201cUnlike some people, so full of themselves. Maybe try looking in the mirror and face reality.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Cheryl, seeing her backup arrive, chimed in with a mocking laugh. \u201cSome people are shameless. They love playing the side chick, acting like someone\u2019s sugar baby.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWho are you calling shameless?\u201d Yolanda snapped, ready to pick a fight. This wom mouth was way too annoying.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Cheryl glared at her. \u201cYolanda, don\u2019t think sucking up to Adriana means you\u2019ll get close to Curtis. Let me tell you this, only the man who marries Nicole will inherit Lincoln Group. Curtis is about to get kicked out of his family! Whoever marries our Nicole is the real heir.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Yolanda rolled her eyes. \u201cLook at you, nobody thinks you\u2019re all that!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
1\/3\u00a0<\/p>\n
Adriana looked at them calmly and sighed helplessly. \u201cCheryl, this is as far as your vision in life will ever reach.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Cheryl grabbed a book from the table and raised it, ready to throw it at Adriana.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Adriana stood up calmly and looked straight at her. \u201cLooks like you haven\u2019t suffered enough. I heard Matthew announced to the media that he canceled the engagement with the joneses. They can\u2019t even protect you now. Without them backing you, what are you even worth?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Cheryl\u2019s face turned pale. Yolanda smiled and added on purpose, \u201cThe Jone Nera Club. This is so embarrassing. Everyone\u2019s talking about how Natasha there and got kicked out.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
old the\u00a0<\/p>\n
trum\u00a0<\/p>\n
The whole class started whispering, some laughing, some looking at Cheryl. She couldn\u2019t take it; Cheryl huffed and angrily walked back to her seat.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Nicole smirked coldly and looked at Adriana. \u201cJust you wait. When Curtis gets kicked out of his family one day, don\u2019t blame me for not warning you. If you don\u2019t want your life to get too miserable, you better beg me for mercy when the time comes.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Adriana didn\u2019t even look at her. \u201cLet\u2019s hope you\u2019re still around by then.\u201d She took Yolanda\u2019s hand and walked to the other side of the room.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Nicole had also joined the international class. She had zero talent for languages, couldn\u2019t understand a word, kept interrupting lessons, and annoyed the lecturers.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But no one dared to say anything because she claimed to be the heiress of the Bartons and acted like she owned the place.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThis girl really asks for trouble,\u201d Yolanda muttered, annoyed. She looked ready to fight.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Adriana stopped her. \u201cWhen life wants to destroy someone, it first makes them proud. Nicole\u2019s heading for disaster. It\u2019s only a matter of time.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She really believed it. Nicole wouldn\u2019t be able to keep this act up much longer.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Just like Curtis once said, would Danielle really let the real heiress come back alive? If Nicole was just a fake and still acted this smug. Then one day, her fall would be painful.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Just before class started, a new student walked in. It was Denton.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Denton didn\u2019t look happy.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He studied finance and management, but Harold still forced him into the international program. His grandfather wanted to send him overseas to get a prestigious degree.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It was obvious; Harold wanted him to go abroad and take over the company when he\u00a0<\/p>\n

returned.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Curtis had gone overseas too, but he finished his master\u2019s degree before returning. Denton couldn\u2019t look weaker than Curtis on paper.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Adriana glanced at Denton and felt a little upset for Curtis,\u00a0<\/p>\n
Harold was making it more and more obvious. He was clearing the path fo\u00a0<\/p>\n
step.\u00a0<\/p>\n
tep by\u00a0<\/p>\n
He wanted to use Curtis\u2019s hard work to pave the path for Denton,\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDenton! Over here!\u201d The class was quiet, focused on studying, when Nicole suddenly shouted rudely.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Denton\u2019s face stayed grim. He didn\u2019t even look at Nicole. He walked past her and sat next to Adriana.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Adriana frowned, confused about why Denton chose to sit beside her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She didn\u2019t talk to him, simply focusing on the lesson. Denton didn\u2019t bother her either. They sat next to each other in silence but did not disturb each other.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Adriana stole a few glances at him. This kid really did look a lot like Curtis. His eyebrows, his quiet eyes, even his calm way of sitting. Seven or eight percent resemblance.\u00a0<\/p>\n
When the lecturer finished the class and left, Denton was quietly working on his notes.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He was hunger for knowledge and never wasted a single chance to learn.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Adriana admired that. He was hardworking and disciplined. But when she remembered he was working this hard to fight her husband for the inheritance, she suddenly wasn\u2019t so impressed anymore.\u00a0<\/p>\n
