Harold originally planned to hire someone to seduce Adriana into betraying Curtis. But that would take too long. He decided it was better to send Matthew to do the job.

After all, Matthew and Adriana already had history.

Matthew looked at the project Harold had just handed over and gave a faint smile.

There was a hint of irony in it.

He had competed with Curtis over this project for six months. From the moment Curtis learned Adriana would study abroad in Pastalia, he shifted his focus toward this deal.

Matthew did the same, determined to beat Curtis the proper way. But he had to admit, when it came to international business, Curtis had connections across multiple foreign countries that Matthew simply didn’t.

He thought he had lost. He believed Curtis had it in the bag.

But Curtis’s grandfather, the man Curtis trusted most personally, handed the project to him.

Sometimes, life feels like a joke.

No matter how hard you work, you still can’t compete with someone around you tearing it all down.

Matthew accepted the file. He wasn’t noble enough to refuse it. He despised this tactic, but he wanted the project badly. “Harold,” he said calmly, “I thank you on behalf of my family.”

“You need to make Adriana and Curtis get a divorce,” Harold replied coldly.

He stated his condition.

“I want that more than you do.” Matthew stood and bowed to Harold. “I love Adriana. I didn’t cherish her properly back then, but I’ll change. I’ll win her back. I hope this ends right there.”

Matthew was warning him to not harm Adriana physically.

If Harold disagreed, Matthew would not go along with this plan.

Harold stayed silent as Matthew walked out.

Young people these days are arrogant, every one of them. And now one of them even dares to threaten him.

The next morning, Adriana walked to class with Yolanda, only to be stopped at the door by Nicole.

It was obvious Nicole was here to make trouble.

Adriana looked at her and thought, Something must be seriously wrong with this girl.

“Did you secretly meet up with Justin?” Nicole pointed at her, voice loud. “You slut! It’s bad enough you’re trying to charm Curtis; now you want to lure Justin too? Let me tell you this, Justin is just a dog raised by the Bartons. He only listens to me. If you dare to try anything, I won’t let you off!” Right there, in front of the whole lecture hall, Nicole called Adriana a slut who seduces men.

Yolanda rolled her eyes. “Geez! Thanks for the compliment. Sluts are gorgeous.” Then she gently pushed Nicole aside. “But hey, don’t block the path. If we’re sluts, that makes you a bitch with attitude.”

Nicole’s face turned red. She glared at Yolanda and cursed, “Stop acting all high and mighty just because you hang around her. When Curtis loses everything, you two are nothing!”

Adriana calmly held up her phone. She had recorded Nicole’s cursing Justin as a dog and sent it as a voice message to Justin. “I already passed your message to Justin,” she said quietly.

Nicole froze for a second but quickly regained her smug smile. She couldn’t care less about this. “So what? Justin is a Barton. He won’t listen to you. When I tell him to go east, he’ll never go west!”

She was so confident. She believed Justin was fully loyal to the Bartons.

Nicole and Danielle used to bully Justin, treating him like a problem they could never get of. But he never fought back.

Justin didn’t reply to Adriana’s message. Maybe he saw it. Maybe he was angry. But he stayed silent.

Nicole sneered coldly, “See? He won’t even answer you. I yell at him every day, and he still does what I say.”

Adriana didn’t get angry. She didn’t even look upset. She just gave Nicole a calm look and said softly, “You’re really smug, huh? I just hope you’ll always stay the heiress of the Bartons.” Then she and Yolanda walked into the classroom

Nicole’s face changed instantly. She glared at Adriana, furious. “What do you mean by that?
