\u201cDo you need a ride?\u201d Justin asked.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Yolanda and Adriana waved him off. \u201cNo need. Curtis said he\u2019d come pick us up.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Curtis had already told Adriana he\u2019d come after finishing things at Ainsworth Group.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Justin nodded. Just as he was about to get into the car and leave, his phone rang. His expression changed instantly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He took a deep breath, then slowly turned to look at Adriana. \u201cAdriana, you need to prepare you Something happened to Curtis.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Adriana\u2019s face went pale at once. A sharp pain hit her stomach. She frowned and rushed forward in pane. \u201cJustin, what do you mean? What happened?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Yolanda grew anxious too. \u201cWhat happened to Curtis?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHe got into a car accident on the way to Haldoria University\u2026 He just inherited a huge sum from Mr. Harold. Too many people have their eyes on him.\u201d And too many people want Curtis dead.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Adriana nearly lost her footing. Yolanda quickly caught her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019ll be fine. Don\u2019t be scared. Curtis has luck on his side,\u201d Yolanda said, hurrying to calm Adriana.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Adriana\u2019s eyes reddened. \u201cI shouldn\u2019t have let him come pick me up\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Justin shook his head. \u201cAdriana, some things can\u2019t be guarded against. This time it was a car accident. Next time, it could be an assassination. The enemy is hidden, while Curtis is exposed. That\u2019s just how it is.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Adriana was trembling all over, desperate to rush to the hospital.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAdriana, Curtis has contingency plans,\u201d Justin said again. \u201cNo matter what happens, all you need to do is trust him and protect yourself.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Adriana took a deep breath and nodded.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Haldoria Hospital.\u00a0<\/p>\n
By the time Adriana arrived, Curtis had already been taken into a room.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The accident wasn\u2019t serious. Curtis had a few bruises and a mild concussion.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Thankfully, Curtis had been alert. Otherwise, the consequences could\u2019ve been unimaginable.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But where there was a first time, there could be a second. This accident was a wake\u2013up call for Adriana. Too many people wanted Curtis dead.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Chapter 260 Was It You?\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cCurtis?\u201d Adriana rushed into the room, eyes scanning him in panic.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Curtis took her hand and smiled. \u201cI\u2019m fine. Just a mild concussion. I\u2019ll be okay after some rest.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Adriana broke down. She sat by the bed and cried against Curtis\u2019s chest.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Curtis felt a pang of guilt. He knew anything happening to him would terrify Adriana\u2026\u00a0<\/p>\n
But days like this might come again and again.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Until the person behind Chandler was dragged out, they\u2019d be stuck in this cat\u2013and\u2013mouse game.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDo you know who did it?\u201d Adriana asked through sobs.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Curtis shook his head. \u201cThey\u2019re still investigating.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chandler wasn\u2019t that bright, but the one pulling his strings was.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cCould it be Matthew?\u201d Adriana didn\u2019t know why that name came to mind.\u00a0<\/p>\n
+20 Free Coins\u00a0<\/p>\n
At the moment, in Haldoria, the only powerful person who had a grudge against Curtis was Matthew.\u00a0<\/p>\n
If Curtis died, Adriana would inherit everything. If Matthew then married Adriana, he\u2019d get both the money and the girl.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Curtis laughed. \u201cThe person behind Chandler has been plotting against the Bartons and the Lincolns for over 30 years. Back then, Matthew wasn\u2019t even an embryo.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Adriana couldn\u2019t help laughing too. \u201cEither way, he\u2019s not a good person.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Yolanda stood nearby and didn\u2019t interrupt, but when she noticed someone at the door, she hurriedly cleared her throat.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Adriana and Curtis clearly hadn\u2019t noticed anyone had arrived. They kept talking. \u201cMatthew went all out chasing Natasha back then. And now she ran off with his half\u2013brother. He\u2019s probably furious,\u201d Curtis said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s kind of pathetic,\u201d Adriana said helplessly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAhem,\u201d Yolanda cleared her throat loudly again.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Adriana looked at her. \u201cYolanda, is your throat bothering you?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Curtis lifted his head and finally saw Matthew standing at the door, his face dark and oppressive.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Matthew was holding a fruit basket. He shot Curtis a cold look, then dumped the basket straight into the trash can by the door.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Curtis rolled his eyes. Petty much?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Taking advantage of the fact that Adriana hadn\u2019t turned around yet, Curtis spoke again. \u201cBabe \u2026 my head feels really dizzy. Kiss me. Maybe that\u2019ll help.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Adriana was completely obedient. She gently held Curtis\u2019s forehead and kissed it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Yolanda couldn\u2019t even watch anymore. Curtis was being too flirty for her taste.\u00a0<\/p>\n
+20 Free ComIS\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBabe, you love me the most, right?\u201d Curtis pulled Adriana into his arms, not letting her turn arou\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOf course.\u201d Adriana nodded obediently.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Curtis looked at Matthew with a smug, provocative smile.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI came to talk to you about your car accident!\u201d Matthew said through clenched teeth.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Adriana jumped in shock, almost screaming. When did Matthew get here?\u00a0<\/p>\n
She shot him a wary look, bristling like a little cat, keeping him away from Curtis.\u00a0<\/p>\n
A flash of bitterness crossed Matthew\u2019s eyes. His fingers went numb.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Once upon a time, Adriana had belonged to him. She\u2019d once stood in front of him like this too, baring her claws to protect him\u2026\u00a0<\/p>\n
He just hadn\u2019t cherished it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat do you know?\u201d Adriana demanded, wary and angry. \u201cWas it you?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
