Just assume Raymond only wanted Curtis\u2019s investment.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Raymond\u2019s expression shifted slightly, but he held back and spoke again. \u201cMatthew, you and Curtis go way back. If you sincerely go and win him over, he\u2019ll definitely consider it. He\u2019s holding so much money. Even if he doesn\u2019t work with us, we can\u2019t let him go to a rival. These past few years, we\u2019ve watched Ainsworth Group step all over Langford Group. If Curtis gets pulled over to Ainsworth Group\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Raymond was worried Curtis might side with Ainsworth Group, but he also wanted to scam Curtis out of all his money with a shell project.\u00a0<\/p>\n
That was why he absolutely had to complete the task given by the person behind him. Only by draining Curtis\u2019s funds could he kill two birds with one stone. No need to worry about Curtis making a comeback, and no need to worry about Ainsworth Group stealing Curtis away as an investor.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDad, you know Curtis. He\u2019s unpredictable, vengeful, and his temper swings wildly. This time, Rex had someone try to run him over. Curtis kidnapped him and was planning to kill him. I rushed over and spent forever talking him down before he spared Rex\u2019s life. Getting him to invest in Langford Group \u2026 won\u2019t be easy,\u201d Matthew said meaningfully.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Raymond was a crafty old fox, but that didn\u2019t mean he could outplay Matthew.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Raymond hesitated for a moment, then looked at Matthew. \u201cMatthew, we have to land this investment. If Curtis invests in Langford Group \u2026 I will reward you properly.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat can you give me? Let\u2019s set the terms up front,\u201d Matthew said bluntly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019ve always wanted shares, haven\u2019t you? As long as Curtis invests in Langford Group, I\u2019ll transfer your portion of the shares to you in advance,\u201d Raymond said, left with no choice but to use this bait.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He was confident, though. Even if he gave Matthew the shares, Matthew wouldn\u2019t escape his control. After all, he was still his son.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAlright. I\u2019ll find a way.\u201d Matthew nodded, the smile at his lips deepening.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Matthew left the office and ran straight into Rex and Natasha.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Natasha\u2019s expression darkened for a moment. Instinctively, she wanted to speak to Matthew, but Matthew walked past her with a cold face and ignored her.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Natasha wanted to say more, but Rex grabbed her wrist. \u201cWhy are you still looking at him?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Natasha said nothing and left with Rex.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Rex snorted at Matthew smugly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
If I can steal Matthew\u2019s fianc\u00e9e today, I can steal everything from him tomorrow.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat\u2019s he being so arrogant about? Looking down on me all day for being an illegitimate son. Who does he think he is?\u201d Rex muttered angrily.\u00a0<\/p>\n
One day, I\u2019ll strip Matthew of everything and grind him into the dirt.\u00a0<\/p>\n
At Curtis\u2019s place.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Adriana had eaten until her stomach was round and full. She and Curtis took a walk around the complex.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cJustin \u2026 he\u2019s weird,\u201d Adriana hesitated for a long time before voicing her concern. \u201cHe keeps looking at me, then looking at you. I feel like he\u2019s hiding something.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Curtis coughed lightly. Has my sweet wife suddenly gotten sharper? Did she notice something? Did she realize she might be the Bartons\u2018 heir?\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI figured out his secret,\u201d Adriana said mysteriously, grabbing Curtis and whispering in his ear. \u201cHe\u2019s probably just like the rumors say. He\u2019s into men, not women. That\u2019s why he pretends to be all abstinent, avoiding revealing his orientation. And the person he\u2019s really into is you!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
This was the \u201ctruth\u201d Adriana and Yolanda had analyzed over three class periods.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Curtis\u2019s brain short\u2013circuited for a moment. He took a deep breath, held it in for a long time, then finally burst out laughing. \u201cJustin? He\u2019s into me?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
This was the funniest joke Curtis had heard in his entire life.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cUm\u2026 Adriana, I think you might be overthinking it,\u201d Curtis said, trying to hold back his laughter.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOh, sure, laugh it up. You two grew up together, right? He\u2019s definitely different with you. On the surface, he\u2019s always stepping on you, but behind the scenes, he keeps helping you. What does that mean? It means he\u2019s saying one thing and meaning another,\u201d Adriana laid out the conclusion she and Yolanda had reached. \u201cSo he pretends to steal me from you, but his real goal is to break us up.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Adriana was certain Justin wasn\u2019t into her. So why try to take her? The answer was obvious. Justin was really interested in Curtis!\u00a0<\/p>\n
Curtis was speechless. He genuinely didn\u2019t know how to explain this.\u00a0<\/p>\n
This really wasn\u2019t easy to explain.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSo you need to stay far away from him,\u201d Adriana said, gripping Curtis\u2019s arm tightly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Curtis had no choice but to nod.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Just as they reached their front door, they saw Matthew leaning against a car.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Adriana instantly went on guard. What\u2019s he doing here this time?\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMatthew, I\u2019ve already made it very clear. We\u2019ve been over for a long time. Curtis and I are married. Please stop bothering us,\u201d Adriana said angrily, stepping in front of Curtis.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAdriana\u2026\u201d Matthew\u2019s chest ached. The girl who once loved him so deeply now avoided him like the plague.\u00a0<\/p>\n
