Kenneth stayed quiet. From the look on Curtis\u2019s face, he could tell Curtis was pretending to be poor to make Adriana feel bad for him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Back home, Adriana and Curtis happily made dinner together.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Just like any normal couple\u2013cooking side by side, sharing simple moments.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Adriana noticed something. Now that Curtis had left Lincoln Group, he actually had more time to stay with her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cCurtis, don\u2019t be sad. I\u2019ll take care of you,\u201d Adriana said seriously. \u201cOnce I graduate, I\u2019ll work and support you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Curtis smiled softly. \u201cOkay.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ding\u2013Dong.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The doorbell rang.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bad timing. Happiness always seems to attract unwanted visitors.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Adriana checked the door camera. It was Nicole.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Of course. She probably couldn\u2019t wait to step on Curtis now that he had been kicked out of Lincoln Group.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Adriana opened the door. \u201cWhat do you want?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Nicole acted smug. She asked with a smile, \u201cAdriana, you know Curtis isn\u2019t the heir of Lincoln Group anymore, right?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Adriana stayed silent.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Nicole continued, sounding even more smug. \u201cBut he still has a chance. If he marries me, according to the agreement, he can get back his inheritance. And not just that, he can inherit everything belonging to my family too.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She was here to deliver an offer. In her mind, Curtis must be desperate.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He was a businessman. Curtis should understand what he stood to gain.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cHave you thought about it, Curtis?\u201d Nicole smiled, full of herself.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Curtis wrapped his arm around Adriana and shut the door right in Nicole\u2019s face. \u201cWhat, is there a dog barking at the door?\u201d he said calmly. \u201cSo noisy.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He didn\u2019t even bother pretending anymore. Just the sight of Nicole irritated him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Adriana smiled. \u201cAre you sure you don\u2019t want to consider it? Her offer sounds tempting.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Curtis looked at her, half amused. \u201cI walked through all this trouble just to marry her? Really, Adriana? Do you have a heart?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Adriana quickly coaxes him. \u201cI\u2019m sorry, I\u2019m wrong.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Curtis smiled and lifted her into his arms. \u201cIf you\u2019re wrong, does that mean you accept your punishment?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Adriana nodded obediently.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Curtis carried her toward the bedroom. \u201cTomorrow, I\u2019m taking you to the hospital for your checkup.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Adriana\u2019s ears turned red. She lowered her voice. \u201cOkay.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Haldoria. Gary\u2019s place.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Joe hurried into the living room, face tense. \u201cIt\u2019s bad. The psychiatric hospital just called. That nutjob who tried to kill Adriana had escaped.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Gary and Irene\u2019s expressions darkened instantly. \u201cThat hospital is stricter than prison. How did he\u00a0<\/p>\n
get out?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t think he escaped,\u201d Joe replied, frowning. \u201cSomeone on the inside must\u2019ve helped. Paid off, most likely.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Irene let out a cold scoff. \u201cSo Chandler must\u2019ve found out about him.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThe police are searching,\u201d Joe continued. \u201cThey\u2019ll do everything to keep him from getting near Adriana. But if the Bartons really took him, what if he slips up? What if he says something about Adriana\u2019s real background?\u201d His voice grew tight with worry.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Joe\u2019s concern was exactly what weighed on Gary and Irene.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Irene, as her aunt, had finally found her long\u2013lost niece. She wanted nothing more than to protect her, cherish her, and keep her close every day. But she had kept their distance, afraid of exposing her identity.\u00a0<\/p>\n
If that madman accidentally revealed the truth, if Chandler or Danielle learned that Adriana was the real Nicole, they would do whatever it took to eliminate her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have to find him,\u201d Gary said quietly, voice firm. \u201cAnd Fast.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
In the warehouse of the suburb, a madman was hanging from a wooden beam, his wrists tied above his head.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Someone kept punching him hard in the stomach.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBoss, he\u2019s crazy. No matter what we do, he won\u2019t talk.\u201d The man turned the camera on, showing Chandler the scene.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chandler spoke calmly, almost gently, \u201cYou just need to tell me this. The child from back then, is she still alive? You tell me the truth, and I\u2019ll let you go.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The madman looked at Chandler. He knew men like Chandler never left loose ends. He sneered, \u201cShe\u2019s been dead for years. I threw her body into the reservoir in the mountains. She was so little. Her bones were probably eaten by fish!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He wasn\u2019t stupid. If he admitted Adriana was alive, he\u2019d be killed for sure.\u00a0<\/p>\n
If he claimed the child was dead, he might survive.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The man leading the group looked at Chandler through the video. \u201cBoss, he says the kid was taken care of.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chandler looked pleased. \u201cGood. Now get rid of him.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Since the real Nicole was dead, Chandler could finally sleep peacefully.\u00a0<\/p>\n
If this man died too, no one would ever know that Chandler was the one who killed Nicole\u2019s real parents.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After ending the call, the lead man smirked. He grabbed the rope and prepared to hang the madman higher, making it look like a suicide.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After all, he was just a mentally unstable man. No one would care if he died.\u00a0<\/p>\n

They lifted him up, looping the rope around the beam. The madman\u2019s feet struggled to find the floor, closed to meet his end.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But right at that moment, Gary and his team stormed in. They cut the rope and pulled the madman down, saving him just in time.\u00a0<\/p>\n
