Matthew let out a sigh. \u201cIf Curtis died, the only benefit to me would be that you\u2019d become a widow and I could take you back. But that\u2019s not enough to make me kill someone.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Adriana snorted, still not fully trusting Matthew.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat do you know?\u201d Curtis asked, watching Matthew warily as well.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Matthew glanced at Yolanda and Adriana, signaling for them to step outside.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThey\u2019re not outsiders,\u201d Curtis said flatly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Matthew looked annoyed. \u201cThat has nothing to do with whether they\u2019re outsiders or not. You\u2019re really good at playing the nice guy. I don\u2019t want them hearing this because I don\u2019t want to drag them into it.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Curtis smugly squeezed Adriana\u2019s hand. \u201cYou and Yolanda go take a walk. Didn\u2019t you say there\u2019s an old man selling really fresh fruit outside the hospital? Go buy some.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Adriana looked at Matthew cautiously. After a moment of thought, she nodded and left with Yolanda, hand in hand.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cCurtis, who taught you to flirt like that?\u201d Matthew snapped angrily. When exactly did Curtis start wanting to steal Adriana from me?\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI learned it from your first love,\u201d Curtis said, leaning back on the bed with a smug grin.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Matthew was so angry that his breathing went uneven. He closed his eyes. \u201cWhy didn\u2019t the crash just kill you?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat, disappointed?\u201d Curtis raised an eyebrow.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cToday \u2026 when I went back to Langford Group, I heard my dad\u2019s illegitimate son, Rex, on the phone saying things like \u2018run him over\u2018 and \u2018kill him.\u2018 I didn\u2019t pay attention at first. Not long after that, I heard you\u2019d been hit by a car,\u201d Matthew said in a low voice.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Curtis frowned slightly. \u201cSounds like a coincidence. Or are you trying to sow discord and use my hand to get rid of your half\u2013brother?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Matthew\u2019s expression darkened. \u201cI know you won\u2019t believe me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Curtis dropped his infuriatingly smug look and sat up straight. \u201cRex is just an illegitimate son of the Langfords. I have no direct conflict of interest with him. If I died, he wouldn\u2019t benefit.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Why would he want me dead?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Curtis was certain he\u2019d never crossed Rex Langford.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t get it either,\u201d Matthew said. But he still chose to come warn Curtis. \u201cI\u2019m not here to cooperate with you to take him out. I just wanted to give you a heads\u2013up. Because if you died, Adriana would definitely be heartbroken.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t get so cozy. That\u2019s my wife,\u201d Curtis said coldly, warning Matthew.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cCurtis, when did you start wanting to take her away from me?\u201d Matthew asked, clenching his fists.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He didn\u2019t know why he\u2019d lost to Curtis.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Adriana and Curtis hadn\u2019t even interacted that much.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cFrom the first day I knew she was by your side, I was already thinking about how to get her away from you and back to me,\u201d Curtis said in a low voice. \u201cBut back then, her whole heart was filled with you. Too bad you were a jerk. You never appreciated her enough.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Back then, when Curtis found Adriana, she was deeply in love with Matthew.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Curtis knew that if he\u2019d made a move then, Adriana would never have gone with him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He\u2019d even thought that as long as Adriana was happy, and as long as Matthew truly loved her, he could let go.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But Matthew didn\u2019t deserve her. He had Adriana, yet his heart was still with Natasha.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He strung Adriana along while flirting with Natasha.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019re really\u2026\u201d Matthew couldn\u2019t find the words for Curtis. \u201cCurtis, I haven\u2019t completely lost to you yet. There are too many people who want you dead. If you die, I win.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Matthew stood up and looked at Curtis. He wouldn\u2019t personally harm Curtis, but if Curtis failed to survive and died, he would take Adriana back without hesitation.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAs long as you don\u2019t interfere, I won\u2019t touch Langford Group,\u201d Curtis said. It was both a warning and a deal.\u00a0<\/p>\n
As long as Matthew hadn\u2019t participated in trying to kill him, even if Rex was involved, Curtis wouldn\u2019t go after Langford Group.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cCurtis, what confidence do you have to say this to me?\u201d Matthew asked. \u201cRight now, you\u2019re\u00a0<\/p>\n

someone everyone wants to step on. Do you really think you can go back to Lincoln Group?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Curtis said nothing. He just raised an eyebrow at Matthew. Anything is possible.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I\u2019m not even that fixated on Lincoln Group anymore. Ainsworth Group is already standing above Langford Group.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI won\u2019t touch you,\u201d Matthew said after taking a deep breath. \u201cI hope you keep your word.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Matthew and Curtis had once respected each other. Matthew knew better than anyone how capable Curtis was. Rather than making Curtis an enemy, it was better to be allies. And if they couldn\u2019t be allies, they should at least not be on opposite sides.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After Matthew left, Curtis looked at Kenneth, who came in. \u201cLook into Rex. I want details.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Kenneth nodded.\u00a0<\/p>\n
At the hospital.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Adriana and Yolanda bought a candy apple at the hospital entrance and walked back toward the room, munching as they went.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSo is Matthew really your ex?\u201d Yolanda asked.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Adriana chomped down hard and nodded.\u00a0<\/p>\n
