Kenneth finally let out a breath of relief.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The second person Curtis trusted the most in this world was Kenneth.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Kenneth wasn\u2019t the sharpest or the smoothest like other assistants, but he was loyal, and most importantly, trustworthy.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re not going back to the hotel. Take the next available flight; we\u2019re heading straight to Haldoria.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Right now, Curtis just wanted to go home.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Go home and sleep next to Adriana.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Back home, Adriana walked in absentmindedly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She was holding her stomach that was now round and full.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Tonight\u2019s dinner left her feeling confused. Jeremy had been smiling the whole time, kind and gentle, constantly putting food on her plate. He said she was too thin and told her to eat more, that it was good for her and good for the baby.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Adriana couldn\u2019t understand. Jeremy should hate her. Was he putting on a show? But why? Someone like Jeremy, with his status and power, didn\u2019t need to pretend in front of her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It just didn\u2019t make sense. So, she stopped trying to understand. She took out her phone, wanting to send Curtis a message.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But the moment she opened it, news alerts filled her screen.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cCurtis Lincoln resigns from Lincoln Group. Nineteen\u2013year\u2013old Denton Lincoln poised to win big.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Another headline read, \u201cHarold\u2019s finally introduces the heir that was hidden for 19 years.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
There were even photos of Michael and Juliet smiling at the camera.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Adriana\u2019s fingers went numb as she tightened around the phone.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Curtis. How heartbroken he must be.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Especially now, when Michael had returned to the Lincolns openly with his new wife at his\u00a0<\/p>\n

Even though people always said Curtis didn\u2019t get along with his mother, Adriana could feel that deep down, Curtis had always longed for a mother\u2019s love.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She looked down at the bracelet on her wrist. She remembered the day Curtis put it on her. He told her the bracelet belonged to his mother.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Michael had once bought the bracelet from the auction for his mother.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Curtis deliberately avoided calling that woman his mother. Yet sometimes, without thinking, the word still slipped out. That meant something\u2013deep inside, he didn\u2019t just hate her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The pain, the anger, the resentment\u2013maybe it was because there had also been love. Love mixed with hate\u2013that was what hurt the most.\u00a0<\/p>\n
That family happily welcomed Denton home and ignored Curtis, who was hurting inside.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Just like his mother years ago, Curtis was now thrown away. It was a place that chewed people\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYolanda, can we book a flight to Harborton? The next one?\u201d Adriana stood up quickly, her voice tight with worry. She started heading to the door.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She had to see Curtis.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He must be feeling so helpless. So hurt.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Yolanda replied, \u201cThe earliest flight is a 10:30 p.m. I\u2019ll ask my coworker to hold a first\u2013class seat for you. Should I go ahead and book it?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYes,\u201d Adriana said without thinking. \u201cAs fast as possible.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Harborton. The Barton Estate.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Danielle sat comfortably on the sofa, a slow smile growing on her lips. \u201cToday\u2019s Lincoln Group press conference was quite something. Curtis actually got kicked out just like that.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chandler chuckled, clearly pleased. Getting rid of a dangerous man like Curtis was a big win. It was worth celebrating. \u201cRemember this, times are changing for the Lincolns. From now on, the one to win over is Denton.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Danielle frowned a little. \u201cBut Denton is still young. He\u2019s stubborn. Nicole tried everything she\u00a0<\/p>\n

could and couldn\u2019t even get close to him. Do you really think we can manipulate him? What if Curtis and Denton team up one day?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chandler smiled with full confidence. \u201cDon\u2019t worry. They will never team up. They\u2019re not born from the same mother. They\u2019re born as rivals, built to compete, not to stand together. Guys like that don\u2019t become allies\u2013they become enemies.\u201d He leaned back and added, \u201cBesides, Michael is still in the middle of it all. And the grudge between Curtis and Michael? That will never go away.\u201d A slow grin spread across his face. \u201cAnd Michael \u2026 that fool is the easiest one to control.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chandler had always known. Michael was the biggest threat to the Lincolns. Years ago, Chandler used Michael\u2019s foolishness to almost destroy Lincoln Group. Back then, Harold was still sharp and strong. He had thrown Michael out to protect the company. But Harold was old now, senile, and had brought that danger back into the house.\u00a0<\/p>\n
If Denton wasn\u2019t obedient, maybe Lincoln Group didn\u2019t deserve to exist at all.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cJeremy\u2019s health is terrible, but he still flew to Haldoria. Must be an important project,\u201d Kelsey muttered as she walked over.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Danielle\u2019s face darkened with worry. \u201cGrandpa has refused to officially recognize Nicole. He won\u2019t hold a press conference. He keeps saying it\u2019s because of his health. He can fly to Haldoria, but won\u2019t speak to the public?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She got panicked and quickly called Nicole. \u201cGrandpa went to Haldoria. Did he meet you?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNo,\u201d Nicole answered, confused. \u201cGrandpa\u2019s in Haldoria?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Danielle hung up the call, panic rising. She looked at Chandler. \u201cCould Grandpa be doubting Nicole\u2019s identity?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chandler frowned deeply. \u201cFind out who he met in Haldoria. Now.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Bartons were at a critical moment. Jeremy\u2019s days were numbered. They had to secure the inheritance before time ran out.\u00a0<\/p>\n
If the old man found the real Nicole, everything they had built would vanish like smoke.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMr. Barton!\u201d Chandler\u2019s assistant rushed in, breathless, and whispered in Chandler\u2019s ear. \u201cYou told me to investigate that hitman from back then. He was arrested for intentional murder. They later found he had mental issues and transferred him to a psychiatric hospital. He\u2019s still being held there.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
