Nicole was still as arrogant as ever. She was convinced that the birthday party Jeremy was personally hosting for her was meant to publicly announce her status.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019re really going to Nicole\u2019s birthday party? She\u2019ll definitely take the chance to pick on you and Curtis,\u201d Yolanda said, a little worried. \u201cForget it. I\u2019ll go with you. If things turn ugly, I can protect you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Adriana laughed. \u201cYou\u2019re the best.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Yolanda lifted her chin smugly and looked at Adriana with fondness. \u201cThat\u2019s what best friends are for.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Adriana felt warm inside as she hugged Yolanda\u2019s arm. Having friends really was wonderful.\u00a0<\/p>\n
At Nicole\u2019s place.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Justin drove Nicole home, and the moment they arrived, she spoke arrogantly. \u201cMy birthday party has to be as grand as possible. I want all the top\u2013tier luxury brands. Don\u2019t embarrass me. I\u2019m the Bartons\u2018 only heir.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Nicole bragged nonstop, then added even more smugly, \u201cAnd that jewelry set I\u2019ve had my eye on lately. Did you get it for me?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Justin looked at Nicole calmly. \u201cSorry. Someone else won it at the auction.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Nicole\u2019s expression changed instantly. She jumped to her feet. The jewelry she wanted had truly belonged to the real Nicole\u2019s mother. Back when the Barton couple were killed in Haldoria, part of the jewelry stored in the bank had been auctioned off. That set was one of them.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Nicole wanted to buy it to prove her noble status as the Bartons\u2018 eldest daughter in front of the media.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Yet Justin had failed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHow useless can you be? Who bought it? You wasted so much money, and you still couldn\u2019t secure a single jewelry set?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Nicole was furious.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The final auction price was 13 million dollars. In Nicole\u2019s eyes, even if it had been bid up to 100 million, the Bartons could afford it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSorry. The price had already far exceeded the jewelry\u2019s actual value. Mr. Jeremy felt it wasn\u2019t worth it.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Nicole glared at Justin, completely losing control.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Justin didn\u2019t bother responding. After saying that, he left.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Just as Nicole was about to explode, her phone rang. It was Danielle.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDanielle, that useless Justin didn\u2019t manage to buy my mom\u2019s necklace,\u201d Nicole said anxiously.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYour mom?\u201d Danielle\u2019s voice was thick with sarcasm. This fake really thinks she\u2019s the Bartons\u2018 eldest daughter now, huh?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Nicole froze, then hurried to flatter her. \u201cI just didn\u2019t want to say the wrong thing in front of Grandpa.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve got good news for you. Grandpa has contacted a lot of reporters and made special preparations for your birthday party. He\u2019ll personally attend. Looks like he plans to publicly announce your identity as the Bartons\u2018 heir,\u201d Danielle said calmly, clearly warning her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Nicole covered her mouth in excitement. Finally.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Once I become the true Bartons\u2018 heir, I can\u2019t wait to see what those people who look down on me will still dare to say.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBut\u2026\u201d Danielle spoke coldly. \u201cLet me warn you in advance. I can make you Nicole, and I can also make it so you\u2019re no longer Nicole. Understand?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Nicole\u2019s heart sank. She knew Danielle was threatening her. \u201cWhat are you talking about? I\u2019ll do everything you say.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cGood.\u201d With that, Danielle hung up.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Their plan was going smoothly. As long as they used this fake Nicole to seize all of Jeremy\u2019s shares, Danielle and Chandler\u2019s plan would succeed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Now, they were just one final step away.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Once Jeremy officially confirmed Nicole as the heir, Danielle and Chandler could make Jeremy disappear completely.\u00a0<\/p>\n

They thought Jeremy had lived far too long.\u00a0<\/p>\n

All these years, Chandler had been having people slowly poison Jeremy. He wouldn\u2019t last much longer.\u00a0<\/p>\n
At Curtis\u2019s place.\u00a0<\/p>\n
When Adriana got home, Curtis was sitting on the couch on a phone call. Seeing her, he reached out and pulled her into his arms. He then had her sit down and continued talking.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYeah. Follow the plan. Make sure everything\u2019s arranged with the reporters,\u201d Curtis said in a low voice to Kenneth.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After hanging up, Curtis pulled Adriana close and kissed her. \u201cStill mad at me?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Adriana nodded. \u201cNext time, don\u2019t turn off my alarm. I was late today.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Curtis smiled and nodded. \u201cI know. I was wrong.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He knew when to bend. \u201cI just thought pregnancy\u2019s hard on you and wanted you to sleep a little longer. I even asked Denton. Your morning class was a language class. Your Pastalian is already solid\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s still not okay. Being late is disrespectful to the professor.\u201d Adriana rubbed Curtis\u2019s cheek. How could someone be this handsome?\u00a0<\/p>\n
She stared a little too long, then spoke softly. \u201cCurtis, honestly, even if you weren\u2019t a CEO, you could debut as a celebrity.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Curtis leaned back on the couch and raised an eyebrow. \u201cYou\u2019d really let me make a living off my face?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Adriana laughed. \u201cIt\u2019s not impossible\u2026 At least it\u2019d be safe. You wouldn\u2019t get pushed around by those people.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
