Curtis stayed on the balcony until the smell of smoke had fully faded from then did he go back to the living room. Adriana was sitting on the couch, hands folded on her lap, worry written all over her face. Curtis sat down across from her, his voice soft and careful. “Adriana, if I lose everything and can’t keep the agreement to give you 30 million dollars a year, would you still stay with me?”

Adriana froze for a moment. She lifted her head, confused. “But we already have 30 million. I can take care of you. I can support us.”

Curtis gave a faint smile. She was still so innocent.

In their world, falling from the top wasn’t just about losing money. When they fell, the whole world turned against them.

Right now, she was already a rich woman. She really could support him.

“But I don’t want you to lose everything,” Adriana said, her voice tight with worry. “Those things are rightfully yours.”

“Don’t worry. I was just asking,” Curtis replied gently. He didn’t want to scare her. Besides, stepping away from Lincoln Group would take time. There were things to settle.

He still had to deal with his grandfather.

Curtis needed to make sure that once he gave up his position, Harold wouldn’t spiral out of control.

And Denton …

He could only choose to trust him.

Adriana had no idea that Curtis had already decided to give up his inheritance for her.

Every day, she protected her stomach with quiet fear, terrified someone might try to harm her baby.

At three weeks pregnant, she began to feel mild nausea. The smell of perfume made her gag. When Nicole walked past her, Adriana suddenly felt sick and bent over, dry heaving.

“What’s that supposed to mean?” Nicole snapped slamming her palm on the table. “Who are you trying to insult?”

She thought Adriana did it on purpose.

“Please don’t accuse people for no reason,” Denton said sharply, stepping in

Every time they had class together, Denton stayed by her side. He made sure no one bothered Adriana.

He was determined to protect her for Curtis.

“Denton, are you out of your mind? She’s Curtiss wife! Do you even want your inheritance?” Nicole snapped angrily.

“What does my inheritance have to do with you? Denton frowned.

“You can only get the inheritance if you marry me,” Nicole said proudly, lifting her chin.

She always thought Denton should chase after her, but he always ignored her.

“Oh, then I’d rather give up the inheritance than marry you,” Denton said honestly, straight to the point.

Yolanda burst into laughter, almost spewing out the bubble tea she was drinking.

Nicole’s face turned pale. She glared at Adriana and warned, “Don’t get too full of yourself. I heard Curtis and Harold have completely fallen out. Curtis has already given up his inheritance rights. It’s all over the news. When Curtis loses everything, I’ll crush you!”

Adriana froze. She stared at Nicole in shock.

That couldn’t be true. Curtis would never give it up willingly.

A sudden panic rushed through her. She stood up and hurried toward t sick.

No

she had to ask Curtis.

She couldn’t let him give up the company. It was his. Why should he hand it over to anyone else?

Curtis and Ainsworth Group, Adriana wasn’t even sure what was really going on there. Curtis would never reveal his real identity tied to the Ainsworth Group.

But without the company, people would start looking down on him. They would bully him. Adriana quickly pulled out her phone and called Curtis. The call didn’t go through. Adriana sat through the whole afternoon of classes without hearing a single word the lecturer

said. Her mind kept drifting back to one person.

Yolanda noticed. She leaned closer and whispered, “Hey, did something hap

Adriana shook her head softly. She didn’t know.

She didn’t know if Curtis was simply busy or if something worse was happening.

During the last period, Denton answered a phone call. He looked toward Adriana–just for a second–then grabbed his bag and left the classroom.

Her fingers tightened around her pen. It wasn’t her imagination. Her sixth sense told her this had something to do with Curtis.

Was Harold forcing Curtis to step down after all?

No one should have known about her pregnancy. She had secretly used Yolanda’s name at the clinic. There shouldn’t be any record.

“Adriana?”

Class had ended, but Adriana was still sitting there, staring blankly at her desk. Yolanda touched her forehead gently. No fever.

“Come on. I’ll take you home,” Yolanda said, worried.

Adriana suddenly looked up and asked worriedly, “Has Curtis contacted you?”

Something was wrong. In the past, whenever Adriana called Curtis, even if he missed it, he would always call her back the moment he saw it. But it had already been two hours. And there was still no reply.

“No, he hasn’t called,” Yolanda said after checking her phone.

Adriana followed her out of school, her steps weak, her mind blank. Just as they reached the entrance, they ran into Justin.

“Nicole already left,” Yolanda said casually to him.

“I’m here to see Ms. Xander,” Justin replied, looking directly at Adriana.

Adriana turned toward him, confused. Why was he here again out of nowhere? Was this another message from Jeremy? “Yolanda, you should head home first,” Adriana said softly. “See you tomorrow.”

Yolanda nodded and left to catch a ride.
