Denton was the type who looked innocent, with golden retriever energy. His vibe was worlds apart from Justin\u2019s, yet for some reason, both of them felt a little \u2026 sneaky.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYolanda, do you have a Band\u2013Aid? I fell just now. It really hurts.\u201d Denton lowered his head and innocently looked at his knee. It really was scraped.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Yolanda looked like she\u2019d just seen a savior. She grabbed Denton\u2019s wrist and looked at Justin. \u201cSorry, Mr. Hotchner. The kid scraped his knee. I\u2019ll take him to buy some medicine and clean it up!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
With that, she yanked Denton and bolted.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She didn\u2019t even have time to worry about Adriana still being on the phone nearby.\u00a0<\/p>\n
As Denton was pulled away by Yolanda, he still turned back to shoot Justin a wary warning in his eyes.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Justin watched Denton and curled his lips.\u00a0<\/p>\n
So\u2026 he\u2019s a little wolf cub waiting to grow up.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Should I cripple him while he\u2019s still developing?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Narrowing his eyes, Justin watched Denton and Yolanda with interest.\u00a0<\/p>\n
look,\u00a0<\/p>\n
On second thought, never mind. The cub isn\u2019t much of a threat anyway. Let him grow up and fight it out with Curtis someday.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMy husband says I can\u2019t have dinner with you alone.\u201d Adriana hung up the phone and rejected Justin directly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The smile at the corner of Justin\u2019s mouth twitched, but he still maintained his gentlemanly\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cCurtis \u2026 really has his guard up against me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
composure.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMy husband also said he\u2019ll come pick me up right away. We\u2019ll eat with you together.\u201d Adriana added.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She kept calling him her husband. That was a clear declaration of ownership.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Actually, a woman\u2019s intuition is usually spot\u2013on. Justin was clearly hovering around her, but she couldn\u2019t sense any genuine interest from him. She was Curtis\u2019s wife and an orphan. Justin had no reason to get close while pretending to be into her if there was nothing to gain.\u00a0<\/p>\n

That left only one possibility: Just like the rumors said, Justin was gay.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Adriana looked at Justin with meaning. The more she thought about it, the more she felt Justin might have feelings for Curtis. Otherwise, why would he keep helping Curtis behind the scenes? On the surface, he and Curtis seemed at odds, but in reality, he\u2019d never kicked Curtis while he was down. More than once, he\u2019d even given him a hand.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Her instincts told her that Justin was dangerous.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In less than ten minutes, Curtis\u2019s car pulled up by the curb.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It was a brand\u2013new luxury car, probably just picked up. It was a little flashy.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Curtis had inherited a huge fortune from Harold and was constantly under media scrutiny. Being high\u2013profile was also a way to protect himself and Adriana.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Watching Curtis make such a show of it, Justin suddenly lost his appetite for this dinner.\u00a0<\/p>\n
A high\u2013end restaurant. Adriana bounced along behind Curtis, holding his hand as he led her into the private room.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The private room was beautifully set up, with a perfect view of the river.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI heard you have to book this place way in advance. Yolanda\u2019s always wanted to reserve this restaurant to take photos, but she never managed to,\u201d Adriana whispered to Curtis.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Curtis raised an eyebrow and looked at Justin. \u201cYou should\u2019ve said so earlier. Just ask Mr. Hotchner. This restaurant belongs to him.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Justin shot Curtis a dark look. He\u2019s practically carrying Adriana around like an accessory. Is that really necessary?\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cReally?\u201d Adriana was surprised. Such a famous, viral high\u2013end restaurant was actually Justin\u2019s.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019re making it sound like you don\u2019t own shares here, too,\u201d Justin snorted. He was the one footing the bill tonight. It felt like a waste.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAdriana, order whatever you like,\u201d Justin said with a smile, looking at Adriana.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Adriana glanced at her phone. \u201cLet\u2019s wait a bit. Yolanda and Denton aren\u2019t here yet.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Justin\u2019s smile froze for a split second. Why was that wolf cub coming?\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWow! I\u2019ve always wanted to come here to take pictures!\u201d Yolanda and Denton arrived too, staring excitedly at the influencer\u2013famous spot.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cNo way. I have to take more photos today.\u201d Yolanda ran to the window in excitement. \u201cAll the socialite influencers in our circle love coming to places like this to take photos. Denton, can you take pictures? Come help me take a few.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cUh, sure.\u201d Denton awkwardly went to take photos. He hadn\u2019t taken pictures of girls before and really lacked experience. Luckily, Yolanda was photogenic. She looked good no matter how he\u00a0<\/p>\n
shot.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cEat up.\u201d Curtis smiled faintly. \u201cMr. Hotchner\u2019s buying today.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
With that, he started ordering first. He picked the most expensive items without holding back\u00a0<\/p>\n
at all.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Justin took a deep breath, furious at Curtis.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAdriana, come on. I\u2019ll take you to that spot outside to take photos. Let Denton shoot them. He\u2019s actually not bad,\u201d Yolanda said, pulling Adriana out.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Denton got a little excited. It was the first time Yolanda had praised him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
As soon as the three of them left the private room, Justin grabbed the floss on the table and threw it at Curtis. \u201cSo you brought me here to bleed me, huh?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Curtis smiled. \u201cYou don\u2019t mind picking up the tab, right?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Justin leaned back in his chair and looked at Curtis. \u201cYou\u2019re guarding her too tightly! Do you really think that\u2019s a good thing? It\u2019s not good for her growth at all. She\u2019s like a fragile flower right now. She\u2019s got no bite, no thorns. She\u2019s basically a harmless doll!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
