Chapter 373 I\u2019m Looking For Someone\u00a0<\/p>\n
In the living room, a servant stared at Danielle, looking lost. \u201cMs. Nicole, I don\u2019t really know who let her in.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
All the new servants had been handpicked by Irene for Adriana. But there were still some old servants at the Barton Estate who had not been dismissed. There was no doubt it was one of those old servants who let Danielle in.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019re Grandpa\u2019s granddaughter, and so am I. Everything at the Barton Estate should be partly mine, too. Why is it you can come in but I can\u2019t?\u201d Danielle let out a cold laugh and set down her coffee cup.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Adriana sat across from Danielle, looking at her coldly. \u201cThrow away anything she\u2019s used, including that cup.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Adriana of today was nothing like the pitiful girl who used to be pushed around.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAdriana!\u201d Danielle clenched her fists and glared at Adriana in anger.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She couldn\u2019t stand the way Adriana acted. She used to be so meek, but now she was putting on airs, acting as if she were a real heiress.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDo you know why, even though we\u2019re both Grandpa\u2019s granddaughters, I get everything and you have to live like a stray? It\u2019s because your father\u2019s origins are shady and disgraceful. That\u2019s why Grandpa never accepted you as his granddaughter.\u201d Adriana looked Danielle straight in the eye, her gaze full of challenge.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Danielle squeezed her hands so hard her knuckles turned white.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She took a deep breath and finally spoke. \u201cAdriana, you\u2019re nothing but a loser who grew up in an orphanage. All you ever learned was design. You can draw blueprints, but that\u2019s it. Do you even know how to run a company? Do you know how a corporation actually operates? Can you lead thousands or tens of thousands of people and make sure they have jobs?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Danielle was deliberately provoking Adriana.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Adriana smiled. \u201cAt least I can draw blueprints. As for you, it looks like you\u2019ve run out of inspiration.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Adriana kept pushing Danielle, determined to throw her off her game before the design competition.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAdriana! Don\u2019t think you\u2019re so great just because you studied abroad in Pastalia. I\u2019ll bear you in the upcoming design competition. You\u2019ll see. Danielle snorted, looking just as confident.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Sleepless Kin\u2026 By day, she is a forest nymph. By night, she is the Nightlark, whose haunting son\u2026\u00a0<\/p>\n
Adriana nodded. She glanced at the butler, Arthur, who had just come in. \u201cFrom now on, don\u2019t let anyone in unless I approve it.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Adriana then instructed Arthur to show Danielle out.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Arthur looked troubled as he said, \u201cMs. Nicole\u2026 Ms. Danielle, she\u2026 Mr. Justin agreed to let her in.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Adriana froze for a moment and frowned as she looked at Danielle.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Danielle leaned back on the sofa, looking proud of herself. \u201cAdriana, so what if you inherited everything? Grandpa gave the estate and Justin to you as a package deal. The inheritance isn\u2019t complete without both. If you can\u2019t marry Justin, you\u2019ll never win over the people at Barton Group.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Danielle laughed at how Jeremy thought he could anticipate everything but failed to account for the complexity of human nature.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Justin and the other assets were tied together as part of the inheritance.\u00a0<\/p>\n
If Adriana couldn\u2019t marry Justin, she would never win the loyalty of the Barton Group\u2019s employees. So right now, on the surface, it looked like Adriana called the shots in the Bartons. But the real person in power was still Justin.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Adriana stood up, clearly upset, and looked at Justin as he came down the stairs. \u201cJustin, did you let her in?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Justin came down, calm as ever, and nodded. \u201cYeah, is there a problem?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Adriana huffed and walked away, while Danielle felt like she had scored a win.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Danielle looked at Justin with a grin. \u201cJustin, you really are the one calling the shots at the Bartons now.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Justin sat off to the side, indifferent to everything. \u201cYou said you know where Susan is. Tell me. If you get even one thing wrong, you\u2019ll never set foot in the Barton Estate again.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Danielle glanced at Justin with a hint of jealousy then quickly sat down and smiled. \u201cI tracked down the orphanage\u2019s kitchen worker from before the fire. She knows where Susan is. She said Susan was adopted by another couple and taken to Hearthwick.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Justin looked at Danielle. \u201cAnd then?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThen, Susan changed her name. She goes by Tamara Sinclair now.\u201d Danielle pulled out some documents from her bag and handed them to Justin.\u00a0<\/p>\n
This was Danielle and Savannah\u2019s plan. No matter what, they needed to use a fake to keep\u00a0<\/p>\n
876\u00a0<\/p>\n
Justin distracted.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cTamara Sinclair, is it? I\u2019ll have someone check her identity.\u201d Justin looked at the girl in the photo, speaking slowly and calmly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t forget what you promised me,\u201d Danielle spoke excitedly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Justin nodded. \u201cDon\u2019t worry. If this really is the person I\u2019m looking for, I\u2019ll grant your request.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Danielle stood up happily, the corners of her mouth lifted. \u201cThen I\u2019ll wait for your good\u00a0<\/p>\n
news.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Danielle was very confident, because the couple who adopted Susan had died years ago. Some told her that after they died, Susan\u2019s adopted daughter was sent to her foster mother\u2019s brother, who became Tamara\u2019s adoptive father.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Everything lined up. As long as Tamara could vaguely recall growing up in the orphanage, she could definitely fool Justin.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After Danielle left, Adriana came out of the bedroom.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy did you suddenly let her in?\u201d Adriana had just played along with Justin\u2019s act because she wanted to see what he was planning.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m looking for someone, and she found them for me. That\u2019s her reward.\u201d Justin smiled faintly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
