Adriana froze for a moment, then took the watermelon from Denton. \u201cI was a little harsh with you today\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI get it. You have to treat me badly in front of outsiders. That\u2019s the only way to smoke out whoever they planted around me,\u201d Denton said. He understood everything.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He was so sharp that it was unsettling.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Adriana glanced at Denton, then stood up and looked at Curtis. \u201cI\u2019m going out to eat my watermelon. You two should talk.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
With Harold gone and Michael being no good, the Lincolns now only had Curtis and Denton. left.\u00a0<\/p>\n
If the two of them weren\u2019t united, then the Lincolns really would fall apart.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cCurtis, Savannah is Ernest\u2019s daughter. How could she be trying to drive a wedge between us?\u201d Denton couldn\u2019t understand.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cGrandpa\u2019s gone. In everyone\u2019s eyes, the Lincolns are lambs waiting to be slaughtered. I was pushed out of Lincoln Group, while you\u2019re not fully grown yet. All the wolves and vultures are watching us. Besides, a butler\u2019s daughter could still be bought off, so even people we once trusted the most deserve extra caution,\u201d Curtis said. People are creatures driven by profit and self\u2013preservation. At a time like this, everyone had their eyes on the Lincolns and would try every way to buy off those around them.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThen\u2026 do you want to take back Lincoln Group? Grandpa\u2019s gone. Either one of us can run it, as long as we stand together,\u201d Denton said, looking at Curtis.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Curtis looked back at Denton.\u00a0<\/p>\n
At least for now, he knew Denton was sincere.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s still someone pulling the strings behind Chandler. The enemy is hidden, and we\u2019re exposed. If we don\u2019t drag that person out, it\u2019ll always be a threat. Based on my guess, their target is both the Bartons and the Lincolns. With that kind of appetite \u2026 it\u2019s definitely not an ordinary person. We have to dig them out first,\u201d Curtis said. That was why Curtis hadn\u2019t taken Lincoln Group back from Denton. He wanted to work with Denton and expose the person behind the scenes first.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cCurtis, I know you want to work with me to find the person behind it all. Everyone around me is trying to stir things up. I\u2019ll go along with them little by little. Once the big fish bites, they\u2019ll\u00a0<\/p>\n

come to me personally, and that\u2019s when they\u2019ll be exposed,\u201d Denton said quietly, laying out his plan.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Curtis raised his brow. Denton was smart in that he understood things the moment they were pointed out. Curtis didn\u2019t even need to explain further.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Denton knew that the reason people were sowing discord was to use a rift between the brothers to make them fight each other, ideally ending with one dead and one badly hurt.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Denton was still a wolf growing into his strength. Curtis was already a grown wolf king. That was why the person behind everything feared Curtis more and wanted him dead. Once Curtis was gone, all that would be left was Denton. Remove him before his wings fully spread, and Lincoln Group would fall easily.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBut, Curtis, this puts you in danger. Someone dared to ram your car today. Tomorrow, it could be an assassination. These people are insane. You need some kind of identity to shield yourself,\u201d Denton said worriedly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Curtis smiled. \u201cI know what I\u2019m doing. You focus on your own path \u2026 and protect Adriana on campus. Leave the rest to me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Denton nodded hard.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t come around here too often,\u201d Curtis reminded him. \u201cIf we\u2019re acting, we have to go all in.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Denton looked a little wronged. \u201cThen no matter what I do in front of outsiders, you have to trust me\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He was afraid Curtis wouldn\u2019t believe him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDenton, follow your own heart,\u201d Curtis said. He wanted Denton to keep his original intentions. Curtis would judge people with his own mind, not by what he saw or heard.\u00a0<\/p>\n
That was how the business world worked. True and false blurred together. On the surface, people might be sworn enemies, while behind the scenes, they were allies. Those who looked like allies on the surface might be trying to kill each other in the dark.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Denton nodded.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He didn\u2019t linger and stood up to leave.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Curtis called Kenneth and told him to investigate Savannah thoroughly.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cBabe, the doctor said I can be discharged after the IV is done,\u201d Curtis said, looking at Adriana, who was still eating watermelon by the door.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAlright. Let\u2019s go home. I\u2019ll make you some stew.\u201d Adriana nodded obediently. The watermelon was really sweet.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Curtis smiled. He hoped Adriana could always keep this innocence. \u201cLet\u2019s go.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He got out of bed and pulled out the IV needle himself.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Adriana rushed over in fright. \u201cWhat are you doing?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI can take it out myself. No need to bother the nurse,\u201d Curtis said. All he wanted was to get Adriana home as soon as possible.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDid you already guess someone would try to kill you?\u201d Adriana asked on the\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYeah.\u201d Curtis nodded.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThen you let yourself get hit on purpose?\u201d Adriana felt uneasy.\u00a0<\/p>\n
way back.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The moment they stepped out of the discharge entrance, a swarm of reporters rushed in. Curtis smiled at Adriana. \u201cA few scrapes in exchange for this much exposure. Whoever\u2019s behind it won\u2019t dare make another move anytime soon.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Adriana blinked, gave Curtis a thumbs\u2013up, then instantly switched into acting mode and cried out to the reporters, \u201cThis was attempted murder. I hope the police solve the case as soon as possible!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
