Unfortunately for Danielle, Justin didn\u2019t belong to anyone. He only ever belonged to Jeremy\u2019s real granddaughter\u2013the true Nicole Barton. Adriana.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Danielle\u2019s smile turned icy. She had always been jealous of Nicole, but with Nicole still \u201cmissing,\u201d what she envied was just a title.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Savannah was different. She was just the housekeeper\u2019s daughter. What right did a girl like that have to even think about a man as untouchable and self\u2013contained as Justin? It was laughable.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Savannah\u2019s expression wasn\u2019t great either. Yes, she and Danielle were in cahoots, and she knew very well that she owed some of her current status to Danielle\u2019s help. But that didn\u2019t mean she could stand Danielle\u2019s constant air of superiority. At the end of the day, Danielle was still the bastard\u2019s daughter\u2013the one who would never touch the real inheritance.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Yet she walked around like she\u2019d been born queen.\u00a0<\/p>\n
As Danielle was still quietly savoring her own sense of triumph, the private room door swung open. A dozen people filed in, arms full of flowers, a giant birthday cake, and limited\u2013edition luxury bags and boxes.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMs. Feron,\u201d one of them said with a polite smile, \u201cMr. Hotchner asked us to come celebrate your birthday. These are all from him. He couldn\u2019t make it in person, but he insisted the gifts arrive on time.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Savannah shot to her feet, wide\u2013eyed, staring at the gifts that were being set down in front of her\u2013every single one was a bag, piece of jewelry, or pair of shoes she\u2019d mentioned liking before.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She stepped forward and hugged the bouquet, her cheeks flushing pink.\u00a0<\/p>\n
A man who is that attentive and romantic\u2013who could possibly withstand that?\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOh my God, Savannah, you\u2019ve got something going on, huh? From Mr. Hotchner of Barton Group? He\u2019s insanely handsome.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI heard he\u2019s super cold and never smiles at any woman. You\u2019re the first one he\u2019s ever gone to this kind of trouble for. Looks like you two are about to be official.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Her friends circled, teasing and squealing. Savannah clutched the flowers, then glanced over at Danielle, the corners of her lips tipping up in a proud little smirk.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Danielle\u2019s face went dark. Her fingers tightened around her wine glass until her knuckles\u00a0<\/p>\n

She could accept Justin pouring his efforts on Nicole. But accepting that he might actually like a maid\u2019s daughter? Never.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Trash.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She tossed back her drink, the liquor burning all the way down, then rose to her feet. \u201cYou guys have fun. I\u2019ve got something to do\u2013I\u2019ll head out first.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
With that, she turned and walked away.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Savannah sat there hugging her flowers, basking in the glow, and happily texted Justin. \u201cJustin, thank you for the gifts. I love them.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ten minutes later, his reply popped up. \u201cAs long as you like them.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
That was more than enough to send Savannah floating. She lounged back on the sofa, smug and content.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Once she officially locked down control of Lincoln Group, she\u2019d join forces with Justin\u2013and when that day came, she\u2019d see who in the business world dared look down on them again because of their backgrounds.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSavannah, that thing you asked me to look into\u2013I\u2019ve got something,\u201d one of her lackeys said, leaning down to whisper near her ear. \u201cYour father really does have a woman and a son out there\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He pulled out his phone and tapped open a set of photos\u2013her father with a woman and a boy.\u00a0<\/p>\n
On the screen was a gentle\u2013faced woman holding a boy who looked six or seven at most.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Savannah\u2019s face went instantly cold, her hands clenching tight.\u00a0<\/p>\n
So, from the very day Harold had sponsored her to go off to school, her dear father had been out there, shamelessly starting a new family with some younger woman.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ha. And she\u2019d actually thought he was just a small\u2013minded coward with no ambition.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Turned out he\u2019d been calculating all along. The reason he\u2019d snatched Lincoln Group\u2019s day\u2013to- day power out of her hands \u2026 was to prepare a throne for that future son of his. No wonder a man his age suddenly \u201cfound the drive\u201d to work again.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It was almost absurd.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He really thought that some six- or seven\u2013year\u2013old bastard could stand on level ground and fight her for anything?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Murder flashed briefly in Savannah\u2019s eyes as she stared at the lackey. \u201cGetting rid of a kid that\u00a0<\/p>\n
isn\u2019t hard, is it? I want that brat and that woman gone. Completely.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The lackey swallowed. \u201cIf your dad finds out-\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThen, don\u2019t let him find out,\u201d Savannah said quietly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Pastalia, hotel.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Denton and Yolanda had slipped out of the estate to \u201cget some air\u201d and ended up playing around town until late. By the time they tried to find a room, tourist season meant every nearby hotel was booked solid. Except for one last room.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Which was how an entirely unmarried man and woman \u2026 ended up sharing a single hotel room. Denton lay on one side of the bed, so close to the edge he was practically hovering in space, body stiff as a board. One more inch and he\u2019d crash to the floor.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Yolanda, on the other hand, looked perfectly at ease. She glanced over at him, clinging to the mattress like it was a cliff. \u201cKid, are you practicing some kind of martial art? A third of your body\u2019s hanging off.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She almost burst out laughing.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Did this boy seriously think she was so desperate she\u2019d pounce on a baby\u2013faced twenty\u2013year\u2013old? \u201cRelax. I\u2019m not going to jump a kid who still hasn\u2019t grown out of his baby fat.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Denton\u2019s face darkened. Baby fat?\u00a0<\/p>\n
A kid? \u201cI\u2019m already 20.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Yolanda turned on her side to look at him and actually laughed. \u201cFine. Twenty\u2013year\u2013old big boy. Time for bed.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Exhaustion hit her all at once, and within minutes, she was fast asleep.\u00a0<\/p>\n
way she\u2019d just\u2026\u00a0<\/p>\n
Denton\u2019s heart was thudding. He watched her breathing settle and watched the dozed off without a second thought. Something he couldn\u2019t name stirred in him\u2026\u00a0<\/p>\n
She really did trust him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
