Curtis laughed as he trapped Adriana in his arms and tickled her. \u201cDo you even have a conscience? Who was it that said they\u2019d make money and support me? And now you want me to go show my face in public?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Adriana was so ticklish she laughed and begged for mercy. \u201cI was wrong\u2026 Sorry\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you\u2019re wrong, call me honey,\u201d Curtis said with a grin.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Adriana laughed and hugged Curtis tighter. \u201cHoney, I was wrong.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She knew when to bend, too.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Curtis lifted the corner of his mouth and kissed her forehead. \u201cIf my startup fails, will support me?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI will!\u201d Adriana nodded seriously. \u201cI\u2019ll even sign an agreement with the doll handbook.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
you\u00a0<\/p>\n
you and make you study\u00a0<\/p>\n
Curtis took a deep breath and looked at Adriana guiltily. \u201cBabe, can we just let this one go\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Adriana laughed and rubbed Curtis\u2019s cheek. \u201cNicole\u2019s birthday\u2013you\u2019re going, right? Justin said\u00a0<\/p>\n
watch?\u201d there\u2019d be a good show\u2026 Should we go\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re going. We have to,\u201d Curtis said with a smile as he pinched Adriana\u2019s fingers. \u201cThere really will be a good show that day. You\u2019ll definitely enjoy it.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Nicole\u2019s birthday caused a huge stir across both the Harborton and Haldoria media circles.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jeremy hosted Nicole\u2019s birthday party on a grand scale, holding it at a high\u2013end hotel under the Lincoln Group and inviting a large number of reporters.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDad, aren\u2019t you spoiling Nicole a bit too much?\u201d Chandler said with a smile, deliberately acting jealous. \u201cYou even invited so many reporters, just to give her an official status?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jeremy glanced at Chandler indifferently. \u201cWhat? Are you unhappy? Or did you forget that the Bartons were Nicole\u2019s to begin with, and have nothing to do with you?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chandler\u2019s expression stiffened. He forced down his displeasure and smiled. \u201cDad, what are you talking about? Of course, I\u2019m happy. I\u2019m very happy\u2026 I know everything about the Bartons belongs to Nicole.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jeremy snorted. \u201cGood. You should be very clear about how your mother brought you into this\u00a0<\/p>\n

world back then. If it weren\u2019t for everyone telling me that a child is innocent, I wouldn\u2019t have let you step through the Bartons\u2018 door at all. The Bartons were meant to be Nicole\u2019s alone. You\u2019ve enjoyed the benefits for so many years. You should be grateful.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chandler clenched his fists and spoke through gritted teeth. \u201cGot it, Dad.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
In the party hall, Adriana followed Curtis into the venue. They arrived a little early, and there weren\u2019t many guests yet.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cCurtis, Adriana, come here,\u201d Jeremy said with a smile at Adriana, gesturing for them to come\u00a0<\/p>\n
over.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Curtis held Adriana\u2019s hand and walked over, casting a cold glance at Chandler and Danielle.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Danielle clenched her teeth, wanting to speak, but Chandler stopped her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jeremy smiled and led Curtis and Adriana away.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDad! Grandpa even said you were innocent, so why has he treated you so unfairly all these years? He doesn\u2019t see us as his blood at all. He\u2019s kinder to Curtis and Adriana than he ever is to us!\u201d Danielle said angrily, wishing Jeremy would just die already.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cEnough. That old man is announcing Nicole\u2019s identity today. After that, he\u2019s basically useless,\u201d Chandler said darkly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Danielle clenched her fists. \u201cWhen the time comes, I\u2019ll watch him die with my own eyes.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
In the lounge.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jeremy wearily pulled Adriana over to sit beside him on the couch.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ever since Harold passed away, Jeremy\u2019s health and spirits seemed far worse than before.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He was at least relieved that, before dying, he had managed to find his real granddaughter.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Looking at Adriana, Jeremy\u2019s eyes reddened. He wanted to say something, but knew this wasn\u2019t the time.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThis Chandler can\u2019t wait for me to die. We can\u2019t delay any longer. If we do, he\u2019ll figure it out,\u201d Jeremy sighed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Adriana looked at Jeremy, confused.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cNicole isn\u2019t my granddaughter at all. Chandler and Danielle found her to fool me, all for the Bartons\u2018 fortune,\u201d Jeremy said as he looked at Adriana. \u201cAdriana, you don\u2019t know this, but back then, your parents\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jeremy froze, realizing he\u2019d misspoken, and quickly changed the subject. \u201cBack then, my son and daughter\u2013in\u2013law were killed in Haldoria. I had no heir. The main family kept persuading me, so I took Chandler\u2019s family back from the slums where they\u2019d spent most of their lives. I allowed them into the Bartons, but I also made Chandler\u2019s family sign guarantees and agreements. They were not allowed to covet anything belonging to the Bartons. If I could find my granddaughter, Nicole, before I died, then everything of the Bartons would go to her. If I couldn\u2019t find her before I died, then all the Bartons\u2018 assets would be donated to the country, and the shares under my name would go to Justin.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Adriana stared at Jeremy in shock. \u201cIsn\u2019t Chandler your son too?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She couldn\u2019t understand it. Jeremy seemed extremely wary of Chandler.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAdriana, you should\u2019ve heard about it. My wife and I were deeply in love\u2026\u201d Jeremy gave a bitter smile.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In this life, the person he loved most was his wife, Audrey.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Back then, he was just a poor kid, an orphan. No one thought much of him. He picked through trash on the streets and worked odd jobs in diners.\u00a0<\/p>\n
