Savannah suddenly grew nervous. Even her movements turned shy and girlish, a bit too fake and careful. \u201cJustin\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
It was very clear that Savannah liked Justin a lot..\u00a0<\/p>\n
Justin looked at her without emotion, then walked over to Adriana. \u201cSince you\u2019re here, shouldn\u2019t you visit my grandpa? He\u2019s sick. When Curtis died, he kept talking about you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Adriana nodded. She understood what Justin meant\u2013there was no need to pressure Ernest more. \u201cOkay. I was planning to see Mr. Barton anyway.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ernest finally said, \u201cAdriana, we can\u2019t sell the Lincoln Estate. This needs time. I\u2019ll have people organize the antiques and paintings at home. You can have them auctioned first to cover the urgent costs.\u201d In the end, he gave in and handed over those items. Otherwise, they might lose the entire Lincoln Estate.\u00a0<\/p>\n
That house alone was worth a fortune.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Adriana nodded and left with Justin.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Only after they were gone did Ernest slowly loosen his tightly clenched fist.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Moments earlier, his eyes had clearly been filled with killing intent.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDad, you\u2019re really giving her all of that? Why? Who does she think she is?\u201d Savannah snapped. What hurt her even more was that Justin still wouldn\u2019t look at her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But she didn\u2019t mind. She believed that one day, she would stand so high that Justin would have to look up at her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ernest glanced at her. \u201cShe\u2019s going overseas for two years. Give her something so she stays quiet.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
No one knew how things would be after two years.\u00a0<\/p>\n
By the time Adriana returned from abroad, everything might already be different.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Savannah smiled. It seemed her father wasn\u2019t as passive as she had thought.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ernest said nothing else and walked into the yard.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Deep down, he had always looked down on women\u2013especially Adriana, who had always lived under Curtis\u2019s shadow.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He didn\u2019t see Adriana as a real danger.\u00a0<\/p>\n
To him, she was just a woman. Nothing more.\u00a0<\/p>\n
1\/3 On the drive to the Barton Estate, Justin reminded Adriana. \u201cErnest isn\u2019t easy to deal with. If he could hide\u00a0<\/p>\n

his true self for so long beside Mr. Lincoln, then he\u2019s dangerous. Until you fully understand him, provoking him won\u2019t bring you any good.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Adriana realized it, too. She knew she had acted too quickly back at the Lincoln Estate.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But if she didn\u2019t push him a little, she wouldn\u2019t\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cow whether Ernest was hiding something.\u00a0<\/p>\n
At least now, she was sure that both Ernest and Savannah were a problem.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Justin said directly, \u201cAdriana, I know why you chose Group. If you need someone to rely on, you\u00a0<\/p>\n
can rely on me.\u201d His words were clear and direct. He was\u00a0<\/p>\n
Someone who could be trusted.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Bartons and the Lincolns share the same fate. If the Lincolns collapse, the Bartons won\u2019t be far behind. Mr. Justin, maybe we should work together,\u201d Adriana replied calmly, meeting his eyes.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She still didn\u2019t fully trust Justin. But Jeremy trusted him, and that was enough for her to consider an alliance.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Justin stayed silent for a long moment. Then his eyes suddenly sharpened, as if something had caught his interest. \u201cWhat kind of cooperation are you talking about?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She leaned closer to him and whispered near his ear, \u201cI know who the real Barton heiress is.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Justin froze. He looked at Adriana in a completely different light.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Curtis had been right after all. Adriana had never been a quiet, well\u2013behaved girl.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Nicole\u2019s real identity had been hidden carefully, yet she had still figured it out.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMr. Barton must have already prepared things for the real Ms. Barton and left her enough power to stand strong,\u201d Adriana said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Justin stayed quiet for a long time before giving a small smile.\u00a0<\/p>\n
There was a clear threat hidden in her words.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In her eyes, he saw doubt, caution, a clear warning, and even a bit of testing.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Bartons owned a huge business empire. Adriana didn\u2019t believe Justin wasn\u2019t tempted.\u00a0<\/p>\n
If the real Barton heiress never returned, and with Chandler and Danielle already out of the picture, everything in the Bartons would eventually belong to Justin.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But if the true heiress came back, Justin would only be the \u201cloyal hound\u201d Jeremy had trained for his granddaughter.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Anyone with a clear mind would know which role they\u2019d rather choose.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Be the one who obeyed, or be the one in charge.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Chapter 325 Adriana\u2019s Warning\u00a0<\/p>\n
That was why Adriana didn\u2019t trust Justin.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Or more accurately, she couldn\u2019t see through him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She could see through Matthew easily, but Justin was different.\u00a0<\/p>\n

After a long pause, Justin smiled and said, \u201cSo, Ms. Xander, are you saying that if I behave, I might get some benefits?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Adriana said, \u201cThat Ms. Barton isn\u2019t interested in running the Barton Group. She only wants to know who ruined the Bartons, who killed her parents, and who left her homeless\u2026\u201d Her voice sank lower as her fingers slowly clenched. \u201cGiving you half of the company shares is not impossible.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
That was the offer she made to Justin. She was willing to give up control of the Barton Group and hand over half the shares. This way, Justin would have no reason to side with their enemies. After all, the people hiding in the dark would never give him a deal that good.\u00a0<\/p>\n
