“Mr. Langford, Mr. Raymond is calling. He wants you to go back. It seems Ms. Langford has run into some trouble in prison.” Matthew’s expression changed, and he quickly walked out.

The moment he left, Natasha, Nicole, and Danielle walked out from the distance.

Natasha sneered. “Matthew is gone. Let’s see who can still protect Curtis and Adriana now.”

Danielle also laughed. “We finally have a chance to step on them. It would be such a waste of opportunity if we didn’t properly humiliate them today.”

Nicole smiled, then followed them oward Curtis.

On the other side, a rich heiress walked up to him.

“Hello, Mr. Lincoln. My name is Claire Winton. I’m the daughter of the boss of Starlux Entertainment. I’ve admired you for a long time.”

She used to look up to him but never dared approach him and was now actively trying.

Adriana watched their changes and finally understood why Curtis chose to hide his identity as the CEO of Ainsworth.

Only this way could he see all the things he usually couldn’t from his high position.

Adriana sighed and held onto Curtis’s arm. “Honey, you two talk. I’l sit over there for a bit.”

Curtis gave a polite smile. “Sorry, my wife gets jealous easily. Let’s talk/another time.”

He knew what she wanted. The daughter of an entertainment company really didn’t have any business dealings with him.

Claire’s face instantly darkened. She probably felt she had lowered herself to talk to him, but he didn’t take it.

“Curtis, you’re not the CEO of the Lincoln Group anymore. Starting a business isn’t easy. What can your wife bring you? Can she bring you connections or resources? We might be an entertainment company, but our reach, the big bosses we know, our partners, and all our resources are as good as anyone else’s.”

What she said was actually true. Entertainment companies have artists and models. These people use their artists to entertain business clients and place their people next to big bosses. They do have wide networks.

However, it wasn’t a very respectable way to do business

Curtis ignored her and went straight to Adriana.

“Was she hitting on you? She seemed polite at least,” Adriana whispered. At least she hadn’t kicked him

while he was down.

“She knows I have a wife, and my wife is right here, yet she’s acting all high and mighty, thinking she has a

good chance of being a mistress and breaking up someone’s family. Do you think she’s a good person?” Curtis asked.

Adriana blinked, looking enlightened. “You’re right. Not a good person.”

“Curtis.”

He had just been about to have a quiet moment with Adriana, waiting to see if anyone truly wanted to work with him, but instead, he turned to find Natasha, Nicole, and Danielle approaching.

Danielle had rushed all the way from Harborton just to mess with Curtis.

Over the years, Danielle had suffered a lot because of Curtis. Her father had finally convinced the Old Man to arrange Nicole’s marriage for her, so she could marry Curtis, But Curtis shut her down completely with

one sentence.

“I don’t marry the daughter of an illegitimate son.”

Because of that, Danielle couldn’t lift her head in Harborton’s high society for three years.

At the time, she both hated and feared Curtis because he was the CEO of

heincoln Group.

Danielle knew that until she and her father completely took over the Bartons, she absolutely couldn’t have a huge fight with Curtis. If Curtis made a move, she and Chandler would have little chance of winning.

But now, he was no longer the heir of the Lincoln Group. A new person, Denton, had suddenly appeared in the Lincolns.

What a rare opportunity.

“Curtis, I heard Mr. Harold kicked you out of the Lincolns. You really look pathetically down on your luck now,” Danielle said, laughing and intentionally speaking loudly to attract a crowd.

“Yes, Mr. Lincoln is already so down, yet still acts so important,” Claire added. The two were allies now.

Natasha also mocked him from the side. “Mr. Lincoln, I remember saying that when you were done with Adriana, or when you weren’t in power anymore, I would show Adriana what hell is like…”

They were clearly coming after Adriana today.

“Adriana, you put my brother in jail. I haven’t settled that score with you yet,” Natasha glared angrily at Adriana.

Adriana smiled. “Wasn’t it the police and judge who put your brother in jail? Why come after me? If you have guts, go after the police and judge.”

“Adriana, you’re still so sharp–tongued! If you offended us today. Do you think Curtis can protect you?” Natasha said furiously.

“Why don’t we find out?” Curtis sat nearby lazily, watching these women.

It was ridiculous.

“Fine, let’s try.” Natasha stepped forward, ready to hit Adriana.

Adriana grabbed Natasha’s wrist and slapped her across the face with the back of her hand. The sound was very loud.

“The Joneses‘ manners are truly shocking,” Adriana said coldly. As if all the self–defense training she learned from Yolanda was for nothing?
