Chapter 277 A Shield\u00a0<\/p>\n
At the Barton Estate.\u00a0<\/p>\n
30 Free Coffis,\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jeremy fell ill just days after returning home. This time, it was serious. Both the Bartons and Barton Group had already entered a level\u2013one alert.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jeremy was well aware of his own condition. That was why he\u2019d been in such a rush to expose the fake Nicole and reinforce his will.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He was paving the road for his granddaughter, terrified that he might die suddenly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cJeremy, you\u2019re awake.\u201d Adriana had been sitting by the bed the whole time.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She didn\u2019t know why Curtis wanted her there, but since Curtis told her to come, she came.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It was Justin who had asked Curtis to bring Adriana over.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It was dangerous, but Jeremy\u2019s condition was even more dangerous.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Curtis and Justin were discussing countermeasures in the living room. When Adriana saw Jeremy wake up, she was about to call them.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAdriana\u2026\u201d Jeremy stopped her. \u201cNo need to call them. I\u2019m fine.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jeremy looked at Adriana. \u201cAdriana, my son and daughter\u2013in\u2013law were brutally murdered. The killer was caught, but was diagnosed with severe mental illness and never received proper punishment. That doesn\u2019t matter much. After all, he was just a knife\u2026 The one behind him was the one controlling everything\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
There was moisture at the corner of Jeremy\u2019s eyes.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He hated himself for being useless, for failing to protect his family.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He also hated that after all these years, he still hadn\u2019t uncovered who was really plotting against the Bartons.\u00a0<\/p>\n
That person was hidden too deeply. He couldn\u2019t find any trace at all.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s on me\u2026 I couldn\u2019t protect my son and daughter\u2013in\u2013law, and I even let my granddaughter be taken away from me\u2026\u201d Jeremy wanted so badly to reconnect with Adriana, but he couldn\u2019t.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He couldn\u2019t be sure who around him was trustworthy, and he couldn\u2019t be sure there weren\u2019t monitoring devices hidden among the medical equipment.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Adriana didn\u2019t know why, but her chest ached as she looked at Jeremy. \u201cYou\u2019ll definitely find your real granddaughter.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jeremy nodded. \u201cI have\u2026 I\u2019ve already found her. But right now, I don\u2019t dare let her come out to meet you. When the time is right \u2026 I\u2019ll make sure you all meet properly.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Among the complicated tubing of the ventilator, a tiny black listening device blinked faintly. It was hard to\u00a0<\/p>\n

notice without close inspection.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Someone was monitoring Jeremy.\u00a0<\/p>\n
+30 Fres Cong\u00a0<\/p>\n
Luckily, Jeremy wasn\u2019t senile. He wouldn\u2019t easily expose Adriana\u2019s real identity,\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jeremy stayed awake for about 30 minutes, chatting casually with Adriana, before drifting back into sleep.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Adriana sighed and stood up, walking out into the living room.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSince Jeremy is temporarily out of danger, we\u2019ll head out first. I\u2019ll leave Jeremy in your care. Chandler and Danielle weren\u2019t directly implicated, but after being expelled from the Bartons, they\u2019ll definitely look for revenge. Stay alert.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Curtis gave Justin a few instructions, then left with Adriana.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Justin nodded and watched Curtis and Adriana leave.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jeremy slept for a long while inside the room. When he woke up again, Justin and his men were carefully checking every corner of the room.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Justin was worried there might be listening or recording devices.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After all, Jeremy had made such a big move. The people behind the scenes wouldn\u2019t stay still.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Just when Justin thought the room was clean, one of his men found a listening device hidden beneath the wiring.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Justin gestured for silence and went over to look. His expression darkened.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The man nodded and quietly left the room.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Justin deliberately walked over to Jeremy and signaled with his eyes that there was a bug in the room.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jeremy nodded.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He had already suspected it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMs. Nicole is with Ms. Irene. She\u2019s very safe,\u201d Justin said softly, using a tone that could vaguely be picked up if monitored.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Irene had reached out to Justin with a plan. Justin thought it was feasible.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jeremy looked at Justin and understood his intention. \u201cGood. Don\u2019t reveal her identity to anyone.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The fact that the real Nicole was with Irene had been overheard. The people behind the scenes would definitely try every possible way to investigate.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Irene and Gary did nothing extra. They didn\u2019t even deliberately fabricate an identity for Mac.\u00a0<\/p>\n
130 Free Coins\u00a0<\/p>\n
Her background as an orphan who\u2019d been adopted was enough. The less similar it looked, the more the people behind the scenes would believe it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Gary sent Mac to Irene\u2019s side to protect her closely.\u00a0<\/p>\n
That way, the people behind the scenes would first assume Mae was the real Barton\u2019s heir.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMae, you know why I asked Gary to send you to me,\u201d Irene said as she led Mae into the living room and gestured for her to sit.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Mae showed little expression and stood respectfully to the side, not sitting.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Irene didn\u2019t force her. The girl was a bit stubborn. \u201cWe\u2019re both women, so I\u2019ll be direct. I can give you very generous compensation. Of course, the higher the pay, the greater the risk. You should already understand the nature of this job.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Mae nodded. \u201cYes. Mr. Harrison already explained it to me. I\u2019ll stay by your side under the identity of your niece, and act as a shield for her.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
