\u201cMichael, it\u2019s been over 10 years. You haven\u2019t changed at all.\u201d Chandler smiled, flattering him the same way he did back when he acted like Michael\u2019s lapdog just to get back into the circle.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSince you\u2019re back, let\u2019s have fun tonight. Relax. The two of us won\u2019t go home until we\u2019re drunk.\u201d Chandler gave a meaningful look toward Danielle and his wife. They quickly took Juliet away for spa and facial treatments.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Once Juliet was gone, Chandler led Michael into a room. Several young women with pretty faces and perfect figures were already waiting inside.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Michael had once been one of the top guys in the rich kids\u2018 circle. Of course, he knew exactly what this meant.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Back then, he was addicted to gambling. The reason he signed that terrible contract was because Chandler set him up. Harold and Curtis didn\u2019t expose Chandler because they didn\u2019t want to embarrass Jeremy. Michael was simply too naive.\u00a0<\/p>\n
People always say wealth doesn\u2019t last more than three generations. Harold\u2019s smartest decision was made when he was still young. He gave up on the son and chose to raise the grandson.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He knew very well if the company fell into Michael\u2019s hands, it would be ruined in less than three years.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After all these years, Michael came back, and he still fell right into Chandler\u2019s trap.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Lincoln Estate.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Harold and Curtis were having a heated argument.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Harold wanted to give the company to Denton, but he claimed Denton was too young now; Curtis should stay and help him manage it. He wanted Curtis to leave when Denton was old enough to take full control.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Curtis found this hilarious.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He had already given up everything, and now he was supposed to stay and babysit him?\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cGrandpa, don\u2019t you think you\u2019re being too selfish?\u201d Curtis looked at the old man. He was getting old, and he was getting far too self\u2013centered.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Harold sighed. He had no better answer. \u201cCurtis, he\u2019s your brother. Help him more. You\u2019re capable\u2013you\u2019ll rise again. And if Lincoln Group struggles someday, you could step in and save it \u2026 \u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Curtis stayed silent. That was praise meant to crush him. Who knew what the future would hold?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Starting from scratch again is incredibly hard, and Harold knew that better than anyone.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDenton\u2019s plane has landed. We\u2019ll sign the agreement tonight. Tomorrow, I\u2019ll hold a press conference,\u201d Harold said, speaking slowly, as if every word carried great importance. \u201cI never wanted you and your brother to become enemies. You two should support each other.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Curtis stayed silent the whole time, letting Harold finish. Only then did he speak, \u201cYou shouldn\u2019t have given the Pastalia project to Matthew. You made it too obvious. Even if Denton and I do end up at odds, it\u2019ll be because you forced it.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He stood up and looked at Harold. \u201cGrandpa, everyone has a line they will not cross. Don\u2019t accuse me of being heartless. Adriana is my limit. If you hurt her, you hurt me. Out of respect for the fact that you raised me, I chose not to fight for Lincoln Group. I\u2019m handing it to Denton exactly as it is\u2014that\u2019s already mercy. You can\u2019t expect me to work for him too.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Harold\u2019s chest tightened. He knew he had gone too far, but he didn\u2019t regret it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
At least, Curtis had given up his right to inherit the company for Adriana\u2019s sake.\u00a0<\/p>\n
When Curtis left the estate, Ernest was bringing Denton inside.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Denton looked at Curtis with worry, wanting to speak with him. But Curtis didn\u2019t stop. They brushed shoulders like strangers.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Denton was heartbroken. He lowered his eyes, not understanding why he and Curtis could never be brothers, only rivals.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMr. Denton, please go in,\u201d Ernest whispered softly. \u201cMr. Harold is waiting for you inside.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Denton snapped back and followed him into Harold\u2019s study.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Food street. Caf\u00e9.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Curtis walked into the caf\u00e9 and sat down at a small square table. He didn\u2019t say a word. He always did this since he was a kid. Whenever he felt down, he would find Baz Yates.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Back then, Baz was the housekeeper at the old Govendale estate.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Baz quietly closed the shop early and hung a \u201cClosed\u201d sign outside. Then he baked a cake just for Curtis.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMr. Curtis.\u201d Baz was old now. His hands shook a little as he carried the plate, but his smile never changed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Years ago, they had raised a golden retriever together. The dog passed away at eight years old. Baz buried it under a tree beside the small chapel in Govendale.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWoof! Woof!\u201d From the small courtyard behind the caf\u00e9, a tiny golden retriever ran in. It was a puppy, still wobbly on its feet.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is Lucky\u2019s grandson,\u201d Baz said with a smile, placing the puppy gently in Curtis\u2019s arms.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Curtis froze for a moment, looking a bit stiff.\u00a0<\/p>\n
As he grew up, his obsession with cleanliness worsened. He never dared to raise a dog again- its life was simply too short.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cTake him with you,\u201d Baz said softly. \u201cBring him back to Haldoria. Keep him with you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Years ago, that golden retriever was bought to comfort Curtis and keep him company.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m too old for this,\u201d Curtis protested helplessly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMr. Curtis,\u201d Baz said quietly, gently rubbing the puppy\u2019s fluffy head, \u201ca puppy\u2019s life is short. But if you raise it well, its whole world will be you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
