Yolanda raised an eyebrow. \u201cNot bad, Adriana. You finally used your brain.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Adriana grinned at Yolanda. \u201cThe classroom is really quiet.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Without Nicole, it really was quiet.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The two of them snickered for a while, whispering as they left the classroom.\u00a0<\/p>\n
At the campus entrance.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Justin\u2019s car was still parked there.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Adriana and Yolanda both jumped a little, looking around to make sure the impostor wasn\u2019t anywhere nearby before finally accepting that Nicole really was in prison.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Justin smiled at Adriana. \u201cMs. Xander, Ms. Spencer, would you be willing to honor me and grab a meal together?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Yolanda didn\u2019t dare offend Justin and stayed silent.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Adriana shook her head. \u201cIt\u2019s not a great time\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She didn\u2019t know why, but she didn\u2019t want to get too close to Justin. Probably because his methods against Nicole were too ruthless\u2026 Curtis had said it himself. He wasn\u2019t a good person.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMs. Xander, we\u2019ve known each other for quite some time now. We\u2019re at least friends. Although the matter of Nicole impersonating the Bartons\u2018 heir is over, Curtis\u2019s crisis hasn\u2019t truly been resolved. He\u2019s holding a large inheritance but has nowhere to use it. No one wants him to succeed if he starts a business. The moment he uses that money to start one, a pack of wolves will swarm him. So the best option is investment. But small companies don\u2019t dare take his money, and big companies all want to scam him. Only by working with the Bartons can both sides win. Don\u2019t you think?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Justin smiled gently, like some fallen immortal with no ill intent at all.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But Adriana felt that everything about him screamed calculation.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She glanced at Justin and understood perfectly. Justin wanted Curtis to cooperate with the Bartons and invest the money into the Bartons\u2018 projects as soon as possible, so no one would keep fixating on Curtis\u2019s inheritance.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It was a good thing, with high returns, but all investments carried risks. She still needed to\u00a0<\/p>\n

discuss it with Curtis.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ll call Curtis.\u201d Adriana stepped aside to make the call.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you\u2019re with Curtis, can\u2019t you make decisions on your own?\u201d Justin asked casually. \u201cIt feels like you have to ask him about everything. That doesn\u2019t sound very free.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He was clearly stirring the pot.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Even Yolanda could tell. She widened her eyes slightly. This man is \u2026 kind of sneaky.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Still, it\u2019s not obvious enough yet. I\u2019ll keep watching.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Adriana didn\u2019t respond to Justin. She genuinely didn\u2019t catch the implication in his words.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMs. Spencer, do you think Curtis really loves Adriana?\u201d Justin smiled at Yolanda once Adriana walked away to make the call.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Yolanda took a deep breath and swallowed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Oh, no\u2026 I know perfectly well he\u2019s trying to stir something up, but I feel like I\u2019m about to fall for the handsome\u2013guy trap.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cUh\u2026 yeah, I think so?\u201d Yolanda replied with a smile.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIf he truly loved her, Adriana wouldn\u2019t be this humble. She wouldn\u2019t even need to call and ask before having dinner with someone,\u201d Justin said softly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Yolanda\u2019s mouth twitched. That\u2019s respect. Respect, okay?\u00a0<\/p>\n
But considering Justin was now the acting CEO of Barton Group, she still smiled politely. \u201cMaybe. Curtis can be a bit controlling sometimes. He keeps Adriana on a pretty tight leash!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The smile at the corner of Justin\u2019s lips deepened as he looked at Yolanda. \u201cA few days ago, your father personally visited Barton Group. I received him myself. He\u2019s a very interesting soul. Just as interesting as you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Yolanda\u2019s back tightened.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Crap\u2026 He\u2019s definitely aiming at me.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Justin\u2019s smile hid danger. He was more of a threat than anyone else she\u2019d ever encountered.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI know, right? My dad\u2019s pretty funny,\u201d Yolanda said, pretending she didn\u2019t understand.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cMs. Spencer, do you think there\u2019s any possibility that Curtis and Adriana might get divorced?\u201d Justin asked innocently.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Yolanda took a deep breath.\u00a0<\/p>\n
No chance.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Curtis and Adriana are perfect together.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But Yolanda was genuinely intimidated by Justin. He looked harmless, but she could feel it. He was just as capable as Curtis\u2026\u00a0<\/p>\n
High\u2013level hunters always gave off a dangerous aura.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Yolanda wanted to run, but there was no one to save her right now. It was pure torment.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Even with the skills she\u2019d honed during her years as a flight attendant, she was struggling. \u201cMr. Hotchner\u2026 I think they probably won\u2019t\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Justin\u2019s eyes\u00a0<\/p>\n
darkened.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI mean, whether they divorce or not isn\u2019t up to me.\u201d Yolanda immediately changed her tune.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThen you would be willing to help me, right?\u201d Justin smiled faintly. \u201cI\u2019m serious about Adriana. If she were with me, all of us would get along much better.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Yolanda felt she needed to report this to Curtis. Justin was openly trying to steal his wife.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Still, doing it this openly was better than plotting in the shadows. At least it wasn\u2019t despicable.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But Yolanda really wanted to escape right now.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYolanda, my bike broke. The driver\u2019s coming to pick me up. Do you and Adriana want to come with me?\u201d Denton suddenly appeared from nowhere, squeezing his even more innocent face between Justin and Yolanda.\u00a0<\/p>\n
