Back then, Curtis had had no choice. As his uncle, Gary would definitely understand him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The ones who\u2019d truly pushed his mother to her death were Michael and those rigid, suffocating rules. about marriage alliances.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s not just because of that,\u201d Curtis said, clearing his throat awkwardly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Clearly, there were still a lot of things about him that Adriana didn\u2019t know.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Since Curtis wasn\u2019t willing to talk about his bad blood with Gary, Adriana didn\u2019t press him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After Denton and Lily finished their little performance, Savannah and Ernest stopped keeping such a close eye on him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In their minds, Denton was now completely under control.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After all, he\u2019d handed over all authority and let Savannah and Ernest run Lincoln Group.\u00a0<\/p>\n
And thanks to Denton\u2019s careful stirring, Savannah was now fully consumed with digging into Ernest\u2019s secrets and had no time left to keep managing Denton\u2019s side of things.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cCurtis, do you trust me?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Under the night sky, the two brothers sat alone on a bench for the first time, just talking.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Denton had downed some red wine and was a little tipsy.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He had no idea whether Curtis would support or understand everything he\u2019d been doing.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After all, he\u2019d propped Savannah and Ernest up, fired the old employees Curtis had left behind, and stirred. up a huge storm across the business world.\u00a0<\/p>\n
People were saying he was carrying out a grand purge, clearing out every last person Curtis had left in the\u00a0<\/p>\n
company-\u00a0<\/p>\n
Using it as an excuse to give Lincoln Group a total blood change.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Denton didn\u2019t care what everyone else said. He only wanted to know what his brother thought of him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI do,\u201d Curtis said, patting him on the shoulder and getting to his feet, ready to go.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Right now, he was just anxious to get back upstairs, crawl into bed, and hold his wife. This kid had zero sense of timing\u2013have a little wine, and suddenly he wanted some deep heart\u2013to\u2013heart on a bench outside.\u00a0<\/p>\n
What was there to talk about?\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cCurtis, even if I\u2019m turning the company into a complete dumpster fire, you still trust me?\u201d Denton was annoyingly hard to soothe.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He latched onto Curtis\u2019s arm and wouldn\u2019t let him leave.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Curtis looked utterly helpless and stayed quiet for a long time before finally speaking. \u201cGrandpa handed Lincoln Group to you. Do whatever you think you should do.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
As long as he didn\u2019t blow it up beyond saving.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Besides, Curtis\u2019s real focus now was on the Ainsworth Group. Ainsworth already had a solid foothold in Haldoria\u2019s market, so even if Denton did run Lincoln Group into the ground, Curtis still had enough capital to pull everything back up.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Denton wanted to keep talking, but Curtis spotted Yolanda coming out of the living room and latched onto her like a lifeline. \u201cYolanda, Denton\u2019s had too much to drink\u2013give him a hand back to his room so he can sleep it off.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
With that, Curtis shoved Denton\u2019s arm away and bolted.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Denton sat there in aggrieved silence, watching Yolanda stroll over to see what was going on. \u201cYolanda \u2026 does my brother not really like me that much?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Yolanda offered no reply. She was starting to see it clearly now: because Denton had grown up starved of affection, his sense of security was a mess. The moment anyone\u2019s mood shifted even a little, he magnified it a thousand times.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019re overthinking it. Your brother only likes Adriana. That\u2019s the one person he\u2019s willing to spend time on. The fact that he still has any leftover patience to show you a decent face means he already likes you a lot\u2013for a little brother,\u201d Yolanda said, sitting down beside him to keep the kid company.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She figured Denton was at the age where he needed the right values and a healthy mindset more than anything.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Denton tipped the bottle back for another swig, then slumped sideways against her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Yolanda was stunned. Kid\u2019s pulling a stunt now?\u00a0<\/p>\n
But when she heard him still quietly sniffling even in his drunken haze, that damned maternal instinct of hers kicked in, and she couldn\u2019t bring herself to shove him away.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYolanda\u2026 I think I\u2019m kind of tired\u2026\u201d he mumbled.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Growing up really was exhausting.\u00a0<\/p>\n
From the day he was born, his two useless parents had never given him much love at all.\u00a0<\/p>\n
From as early as he could remember, he\u2019d had to cry himself hoarse from hunger, going door to door, putting on a pitiful act just to get something to cat.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Later, he started picking up firewood for people, collecting shellfish, and minding shops\u2013doing whatever odd jobs he could to earn snacks on the side.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After that, he went on to do hard labor to pay his tuition and living expenses, and he even had to earn\u00a0<\/p>\n

pocket money for Michael and that unreliable mother of his.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Back then, he\u2019d never really felt this kind of tired.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Physical exhaustion and the weariness in your heart were two completely different kinds of fatigue.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Even though he\u2019d been planning things step by step, the moment he turned Lincoln Group into a mess and heard all those old employees cursing him as an idiot and an ungrateful brat behind his back, he couldn\u2019t help feeling worn down.\u00a0<\/p>\n
His chest felt heavy, and he had no idea who he could talk to about it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen I was little, my grandpa told me a story. An eagle can become the top predator in the sky because it has powerful wings to carry it high above the clouds. But those wings aren\u2019t strong from the day a baby eagle is born. It gets thrown off cliffs again and again\u2013its wings break, then heal\u2013until they\u2019re finally strong enough to bear the weight of its ambition.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Yolanda looked at him quietly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Denton was Curtis\u2019s heir. Sooner or later, he was going to be standing at the very top.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Heavy is the head that wears the crown.\u00a0<\/p>\n
There was no running away from that.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Denton sat there in a daze for a long time, then slowly closed his eyes and pretended to fall asleep.\u00a0<\/p>\n
