Do you believe we can make you and Curtis disappear from Haicheng whenever we want?\u201d Nicole snapped. \u201cCurtis, what are you still proud of?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSure, a tiger is mocked when it\u2019s down\u2013but no matter how down and out Curtis is, he hasn\u2019t sunk to the level of being gossiped about by the likes of you, has he?\u201d Just then, Ronan walked over and everyone instantly shut up. Everyone knew Ronan was the acting CEO of Ainsworth Group.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCurtis only left the Lincoln Group, he wasn\u2019t kicked out of the Lincolns. If you keep making a fuss, maybe Mr. Harold\u2019s will feel bad and bring Curtis back?\u201d Ronan asked with a smile.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Claire and the others froze.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s right. Curtis is the Harold\u2019s biological grandson, after all. If he changes his mind and lets him come back one day, then what they do today would go back to them in the future.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Nicole looked at Curtis with sarcasm. \u201cHmph, he\u2019s just a stray dog who was kicked out of the family. I don\u2019t believe Mr. Harold will let him back in.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Ronan looked at Nicole, his eyes darkening. \u201cMs. Barton\u2019s manners are truly impressive.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Danielle frowned slightly. \u201cIs Mr. Fowler planning to protect Curtis? Or are you thinking about poaching him?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>She was a little nervous.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Ainsworth was a rising company these past few years, growing too quickly. Even the Langfords was wary them, so naturally the Bartons had to be careful too.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMs. Barton is right. I do want talent. If Mr. Lincoln is willing to join\/Ainsworth, that would be a blessing for us.\u201d Ronan said calmly.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Danielle panicked. She absolutely could not let Curtis join Ainsworth.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMr. Fowler, Ainsworth is in such a crucial stage. It\u2019s developing so well. You know how many people Curtis has offended. There\u2019s no need to take a risk and bring trouble into Ainsworth,\u201d she warned coldly.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>She wanted Ronan to think twice. \u201cBesides, Mr. Fowler is only the acting CEO. I heard your mysterious chairman above you is a business genius with a hidden identity. A genius like that would never allow you to bring a walking disaster into Ainsworth.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Curtis raised an eyebrow, calmly sipping his champagne\/Adriana also quietly lowered her head, drinking juice and watching their performance.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Go on, keep praising. The more Danielle bragged about Ainsworth\u2019s chairman now, the harder she would slap herself later when she learned the chairman was actually Curtis.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Adriana now understood why Curtis didn\u2019t tell her the truth about some things. Her acting was definitely terrible, and she always wanted to laugh.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>1\/3\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>of\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>10\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>O\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&lt;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Chapter 242 The Mysterious Chairman\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>If he\u2019d told her, she\u2019d expose him the moment she slipped.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>58\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>+10 Free Coins\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMr. Lincoln, we are from Marinex Construction. We cooperated with you on basic building materials before. Even though you left the Lincoln Group, our doors at Marinex are always open to you, if you are willing.\u201d Someone in the crowd stepped out, mustering up the courage not to offend the Bartons, and handed Curtis a business card.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Curtis took the card and smiled. \u201cThank you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The man also smiled. \u201cYou\u2019re joking. Without you, Mr. Lincoln, the Lincoln Group would never have reached today\u2019s success, but\u2026\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The man sighed and didn\u2019t say anything else.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMr. Lincoln, the doors of Solaris New Energy are also open to you.\u201d Someone else came to hand him a card.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Danielle\u2019s face darkened. Natasha nervously tugged her sleeve. \u201cDanielle, what do we do?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m from Centralian Investment. Our boss thinks highly of you too, Mr. Lincoln. If your startup needs initial funding, please contact us,\u201d a venture capitalist handed over a business card.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Danielle couldn\u2019t hold back anymore. \u201cEveryone, let me make this clear today. Anyone who helps Curtis becomes an enemy of the Bartons. When the time comes, don\u2019t blame us for cutting off cooperation.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMs. Barton, you\u2019re too cruel,\u201d someone muttered.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Danielle sneered. \u201cI am being cruel. I\u2019m here to crush him completely.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDanielle, no matter what happens, I won\u2019t fall so low as to work for someone else,\u201d Curtis said quietly, making it clear she didn\u2019t need to worry. \u201cDon\u2019t threaten them.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Danielle smiled and relieved. She knew his arrogant nature wouldn\u2019t really let him go work for someone else.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCurtis, then I wish you great success with your little startup,\u201d she said coldly. \u201cI\u2019ll be waiting for the day you come begging me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>With that, Danielle led Nicole and the others away.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Natasha looked at Adriana with a cold smile. \u201cWhen Curtis \u00e7an\u2019t make it work anymore, Adriana, I want you to kneel down and beg me to forgive you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Adriana absolutely couldn\u2019t hold it in\u2013she choked on her juice and sprayed it all over Natasha\u2019s face and dress. She coughed violently.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Curtis gently patted her back. \u201cDon\u2019t laugh while drinking or eating. You\u2019ll choke.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Adriana\u2019s eyes were watery from coughing. Natasha was furious and gritted her teeth. Natasha looked at Adriana angrily. \u201cAdriana, you did that on purpose, didn\u2019t you?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>2\/3\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>10\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>11:18 Mon, Dec 29\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Chapter 242 The Mysterious Chairman\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Adriana shook her head innocently.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When Time Tried to Heal Me But I Refused to Listen by Kael Niro Senn 242 Chapter 242 The Mysterious [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"categories":[67],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-24152","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-the-comeback-queens-crown-novel"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24152","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=24152"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24152\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=24152"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=24152"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=24152"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
