\u201cWhy are you being so polite to her? She\u2019s just an orphan who sees money as everything. Now she gets to ride on Curtis\u2019s coattails, but your grandfather\u2019s inheritance should\u2019ve included half for you from the start,\u201d Savannah muttered quietly, stirring trouble.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Denton didn\u2019t say a word. He sat properly on the couch.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Savannah kept pushing. \u201cDenton, you can\u2019t keep being this passive. Keep this up, and you\u2019ll crash and burn.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She sighed and continued. \u201cWhat you need to do now is stay on good terms with Curtis on the surface. That way, if something happens to him, you\u2019ll have a chance to fight for his inheritance.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy would something happen to Curtis?\u201d Denton frowned at Savannah. He was already holding back, afraid he wouldn\u2019t be able to control himself.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Savannah hesitated, stumbling over her words. \u201cI mean\u2026 if, hypothetically\u2026 You know, he\u2019s made so many enemies. What if something happens one day?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Denton\u2019s face darkened. He said nothing.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He wasn\u2019t stupid. He\u2019d already figured it out. If something happened to Curtis, the person pulling the strings would step forward and push him to fight for Curtis\u2019s inheritance.\u00a0<\/p>\n
This was likely just one step in that person\u2019s so\u2013called foolproof plan.\u00a0<\/p>\n
money would go First, they tried to have the Langfords trick Curtis into investing so all his down the drain. If that failed, there was a second plan\u2013get rid of Curtis. Maybe even get rid of Adriana too.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After all, Curtis and Adriana had no children. If both of them were eliminated, the inheritance could only go to Denton.\u00a0<\/p>\n
This plan was eerily similar to what happened back then, when Jeremy\u2019s son and daughter\u2013in- law were both killed in Haldoria. Chandler thought he\u2019d be the final beneficiary, never expecting the real Nicole to still be alive.\u00a0<\/p>\n
So now, the person behind the scenes was trying to reuse the same old playbook.\u00a0<\/p>\n

By the time Curtis got home, the food was almost cold.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He\u2019d been busy all day, putting on a show for Raymond.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Raymond was already wavering. He\u2019d rather hand all the shares over to Matthew than fail the task assigned by whoever was pulling the strings.\u00a0<\/p>\n
That person\u2019s identity was growing more and more clusive, and it made Curtis increasingly\u00a0<\/p>\n
uneasy.\u00a0<\/p>\n
What he worried about wasn\u2019t his own safety. It was Adriana\u2019s.\u00a0<\/p>\n
If the mastermind stayed hidden in the shadows, danger would always be lurking.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cCurtis, dinner\u2019s ready.\u201d Adriana smiled at him, telling him to wash his hands and eat.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Savannah and Denton were already seated. When Curtis returned, Savannah suddenly became quiet. She didn\u2019t say a word and looked gentle and well\u2013behaved.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Adriana rolled her eyes. What a two\u2013faced snake.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cCurtis, it\u2019s been, what, three or four years since we last met?\u201d Savannah took the initiative to speak.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYeah.\u201d Curtis nodded, clearly uninterested in chatting with her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDo you remember when we were kids? You always said I was cute. Mr. Harold even joked that I should marry you when I grew up,\u201d Savannah said with a smile, clearly provoking Adriana.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIs that so?\u201d Curtis raised an eyebrow, looking astonished. \u201cDid my grandpa hate much?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Savannah choked, not quite following. \u201cHuh?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
you that\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI had mental issues as a kid. Anyone who got close to me, I\u2019d want to kill. I killed my mom, and I nearly stabbed my dad to death. Are you sure my grandpa telling you to marry me wasn\u2019t him trying to ruin your life?\u201d Curtis said calmly, half\u2013joking.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Savannah was so startled she almost dropped her utensils. She hurriedly changed the subject. \u201cI was just joking. You and Adriana are a good match\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Adriana held back her laughter and said nothing.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Denton kept his head down and focused on eating.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It seemed Savannah\u2019s goal of having dinner and creating a show of closeness had been achieved. She quickly made an excuse that she was full and left with Denton.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThere are reporters outside the neighborhood. Tomorrow\u2019s news will probably run stories. about Denton and me being close brothers,\u201d Curtis said in a low voice as he stood by the window, looking outside.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cTheir goal might be to keep targeting you. Savannah brought up your inheritance after your death more than once today,\u201d Adriana said nervously, hugging Curtis from behind.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Curtis patted her hand reassuringly. \u201cIf something happens to me, the inheritance will be handled properly. It won\u2019t bring trouble to you or the baby.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Adriana\u2019s eyes reddened. Curtis normally wouldn\u2019t frighten her like this. He must be worried about something happening to himself too.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t scare me\u2026\u201d Adriana whispered.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAdriana, whether I\u2019m by your side or not, you have to protect yourself,\u201d Curtis said, his chest aching as well. Some things wouldn\u2019t bring the person behind the scenes out unless he risked his life.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNo matter what happens, you have to trust me. I will never abandon you,\u201d Curtis added.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Adriana quietly held onto Curtis. She had a faint, unsettling premonition in her heart, but since Curtis didn\u2019t say anything, she didn\u2019t ask.\u00a0<\/p>\n
