Curtis wasn\u2019t truly gone. She could feel it. Deep down, she knew.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cEverything will fall into place,\u201d Kenneth said, his voice quiet but loaded.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Adriana nodded through her tears.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Kenneth bowed his head and stepped aside without drawing attention.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Adriana eased back into her seat and held Curtis\u2019s portrait close to her chest.\u00a0<\/p>\n

She was beginning to piece it together. The ones scheming against the Lincolns had never shown their faces. With Curtis alive and out in the open, they stayed hidden. But now that he\u2019d faked his death and gone silent too, they\u2019d be forced into the light.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sure enough, the second Curtis \u201cdied,\u201d Savannah and Danielle didn\u2019t even bother keeping up\u00a0<\/p>\n
appearances.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Adriana inhaled and let the silence swallow her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The days ahead were going to be brutal. One after another, they\u2019d come for her. Relentless. Obsessive. Desperate to prove Curtis was really dead.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Back then, she thought she\u2019d burned every bridge with the Langfords and the Joneses over Mia and Rufus.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Now, it was obvious. They weren\u2019t about to waste this opportunity.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But that was fine. She wasn\u2019t that same girl anymore.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Did they really think she\u2019d sink back to the level where anyone could tear her apart?\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSavannah, Natasha, and Danielle are probably plotting already, Adriana. Those three are pit vipers,\u201d Yolanda said, worry clouding her voice.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThey can come whenever they want,\u201d Adriana rasped. She took off her sunglasses. Her eyes were hard, like steel.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She used to be alone. No one to lean on. No safety net. She let them walk all over her because she was scared the orphanage would suffer if she fought back.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But Curtis had already erased that weakness for her.\u00a0<\/p>\n

She had nothing left to lose.\u00a0<\/p>\n
:\u00a0<\/p>\n
Yolanda sucked in a breath. Something about Adriana felt different now.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Like something inside her had snapped.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Adriana from before had been like a quiet little rabbit hiding under Curtis\u2019s wing. But the woman sitting in front of her now\u2026 This was someone who had shed the disguise.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She had never been soft.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She was a product of survival. A girl who grew up with nothing and fought for everything.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She only played the sweet role because Curtis had wanted it. And she\u2019d been willing to be that girl for him. That was the only reason.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Langford Group.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After Curtis\u2018 \u201caccident,\u201d the company was in chaos. Rex was pulling every underhanded move he could think of to fight Matthew for the shares.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Matthew locked all of Curtis\u2019s project funds in his personal account. He claimed the project had gone off the rails and shut it down on his own.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Now, that money sat frozen. Unless Curtis came back to claim it himself or Matthew stepped up to help Adriana get access, no one could move a dime.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMatthew, are you seriously trying to steal that money? You might get it into your account, but you won\u2019t live long enough to enjoy a cent of it. Move the funds to the offshore account. That\u2019s what we agreed to!\u201d Raymond burst into the office, furious.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He really thought Matthew had lost his mind. The kid was actually starting to go rogue.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThe project\u2019s falling apart. I can\u2019t move the money that easily. Curtis is already dead, but I still have to answer to my partners,\u201d Matthew said, calm as ever.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Raymond clenched his jaw. \u201cCurtis is dead. So what if the project\u2019s falling apart? Just wire the money. Get it done. Now.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He was barely holding it together. He knew he couldn\u2019t keep the money himself. But if Matthew held onto it, the entire Langford family would get dragged into hell with him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Matthew was doing it on purpose.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDad, if we leave the money in my account and lay low for a while, we can start over. It\u2019s not a\u00a0<\/p>\n

loss. Adriana\u2019s just a clueless girl. She\u2019s not gonna come after us,\u201d Matthew said with intention, watching Raymond closely.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Raymond\u2019s whole face tightened.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He stared at Matthew like he\u2019d just slapped him. \u201cThat money can\u2019t stay. I\u2019m serious. Wire it out now. If you don\u2019t, you\u2019ll destroy this family.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t get it. Curtis is gone. Even if we keep the money, who\u2019s going to find out? What the hell are you so scared of?\u201d Matthew asked, acting like he didn\u2019t know.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Raymond\u2019s expression changed. His hesitation said everything.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you don\u2019t want to tell me the truth, fine.\u201d Matthew leaned back in his chair, completely unmoved. He wasn\u2019t letting that money go.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou don\u2019t need to know the truth. Just know this. Someone\u2019s been working behind the scenes for years, taking down the Lincolns, the Bartons, all of them. And that person? We can\u2019t mess with them. You need to stop gambling with the family\u2019s future. Move the money. Don\u2019t ask questions,\u201d Raymond said again.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019re scared of him. I\u2019m not. If he\u2019s so powerful, why\u2019s he hiding like a coward?\u201d Matthew said without flinching.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Raymond\u2019s face twisted with rage. He pointed at Matthew. \u201cIf you insist on keeping that money, then hand over your shares and your authority. Leave the family for good!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
