Chapter 240 Which Protection?\u00a0<\/p>\n
It was true. This man named Henry Walter was way too impulsive.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Henry\u2019s face darkened and he glared angrily at Adriana. \u201cAnd who do you think you are? I heard you used to be Matthew\u2019s mistress. Who gave you the right to talk to me like that?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Curtis\u2019s expression turned cold. He kicked the man straight out. \u201cIf you don\u2019t understand when people talk nicely to you, I happen to know a little bit of fighting.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The man was kicked far away and crashed to the ground. He looked at Curtis with pain and anger, embarrassed and furious. \u201cCurtis! What are you? Just a mutt who was kicked out of the Lincolns and you dare lay hands on me? Believe it or not, I can crush you right now!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Curtis sneered. How arrogant.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMr. Walter, you\u2019re going too far. Acting like this only makes people think you\u2019re petty and not suitable to work with.\u201d Someone spoke up from the crowd.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Adriana hadn\u2019t expected it to be Matthew.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Matthew\u2019s expression was calm. He said in low voice, \u201cAnd Adriana is not my mistress. Insult her again and the Langford Group will cut all cooperation.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The man stared at Matthew in panic, quickly got up, and apologized. \u201cMr. Langford, I\u2019m so sorry. My mouth ran off and spoke nonsense\u00a0<\/p>\n
He slapped himself and ran off in shame.\u00a0<\/p>\n
People had said Matthew and Curtis were on bad terms because of a woman, so no one expected Matthew to defend him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMr. Lincoln, I thought you wouldn\u2019t show up to an event like this. At least-\u201d Matthew frowned and looked at Adriana with worry. \u201cYou wouldn\u2019t bring Adriana here!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He knew he would cause trouble, yet he brought Adriana out to be criticized.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy wouldn\u2019t I come? I\u2019m starting a business. I still need Mr. Langford\u2019s support. Let me introduce her to you. This is my wife.\u201d Curtis spoke proudly and pulled Adriana into his arms.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cCurtis!\u201d Matthew snapped and thought Curtis was being selfish.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIs this what you meant by protecting her?\u201d Matthew questioned in a low voice. \u201cDo how many enemies you\u2019re creating for her by doing this?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
you know\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s none of your business,\u201d Adriana shot back. \u201cWhat do you call protection then? Like before? Locking me up like a caged bird is what you call protection? Stop acting like you\u2019re right.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Curtis glanced at Adriana, then looked at Matthew. \u201cA bird protected too well won\u2019t survive wind and rain. She is free. She\u2019ll fly away someday.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Curtis\u2019s protection was about letting Adriana grow under his wing. He was willing to give Adriana freedom and a wide sky, willing to stay by her side as she grew up and made herself\u00a0<\/p>\n
strong.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Matthew\u2019s protection was wanting her to always depend on him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Matthew was always afraid that a fully capable Adriana would fly away.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Curtis, however, wanted the strong, winged Adriana to ride the waves with him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAdriana is excellent. When she graduates, she will start her own business or fight alongside me. Letting her experience the dark side of this world early on isn\u2019t a bad thing for her.\u201d Curtis smiled at Adriana. Besides, she already knows how to fight back. She won\u2019t be like before, scared to fight back and bullied by everyone.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Matthew frowned at Curtis. \u201cI didn\u2019t expect you to be this naive.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
They had different experiences and backgrounds growing up, which led to different views on life and personalities.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In Matthew\u2019s worldview, what Curtis was doing right now was ridiculous.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Curtis didn\u2019t argue. He was actually surprised that for once, Matthew hadn\u2019t taken the chance to kick him when he was down.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cCurtis, I heard you\u2019re starting a business. If you\u2019re having difficulties, just say it. We can all help you.\u201d A group of hypocrites came over again.\u00a0<\/p>\n
People who usually greeted Curtis respectfully as \u201cMr. Lincoln\u201d were now calling him by name.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Give it a few days and they\u2019d probably call him \u201cCurty.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Adriana almost laughed. These people were so fake. If they knew that he was the chairman behind the Ainsworth Group, they would probably regret it for days.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Seeing her nearly lose control, Curtis tugged her hand lightly. Her acting wasn\u2019t good enough.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Adriana lowered her head and clung to his arm.\u00a0<\/p>\n

She was holding back laughter, but to outsiders, it looked like she was sad.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Matthew thought Adriana was upset and frowned at those people. \u201cIf Curtis really needed to start a business, would he need any of your help?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The people looked awkward. They didn\u2019t want to mess with Matthew and left.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat\u2019s gotten into you?\u201d Curtis looked at Matthew.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI just don\u2019t want her to be sad,\u201d Matthew said, sounding annoyed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cTrying to act like a savior, huh? She\u2019s my wife. Stop trying to look good in front of her.\u201d Curtis pulled Adriana away and walked off.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Matthew was angry, but there was nothing else he could do.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Right now, he only wanted to make things right with Adriana.\u00a0<\/p>\n
However, Adriana didn\u2019t seem interested in giving him that chance.\u00a0<\/p>\n
