“Yeali my dad tried to talk sense into Mr. Harold. He said giving all the shares to Denton isn’t fair to Curtis. Mr. Harold then told my dad he would give everything else to Curtis. He’s got billions in liquid assets under his name. If Curtis gets his hands on that, he’ll bounce back right away. And it isn’t just cash Curtis will inherit. Don’t forget, Mr. Harold also has real estate, bonds, trust funds, antiques, and jewelry under his name…”

Chandler’s words sent Michael into a panic.

If Curtis got

all that, what was left for them

There was no way they’d let that happen.

Michael stopped caring about anything else–he set his mind on getting rid of

In a black Maybach parked outside Harborton Hospital, Curtis took a call.

“Mr. Curtis, just as you guessed, Chandler came to see Michael at the hospital. They’re definitely i push Michael into making a move on Mr. Harold.”

Curtis tapped his fingers on his thigh, completely in control.

Adriana didn’t dare ask more. She just sat quietly beside him.

“Stick to the plan,” Curtis said, voice low.

Michael brought this on himself. Grandpa, you can’t blame me for what happens next.

He walked right into the trap…

Curtis always made people pay.

When Michael left the Lincolns all those years ago, signing the agreement to never come back, Curtis had decided to let it go, treating him as good as dead.

But then, Michael just had to come back.

Curtis let out a cold laugh.

Michael brought this on himself. No one else is to blame.

“At least Mr. Harold’s okay,” Adriana breathed out in relief.

“His body isn’t done for yet,” Curtis replied calmly, squeezing Adriana’s hand. “I made Ernest leak news that my grandpa was dying…

Adriana stared at Curtis, startled. He meant…

“Adriana… I have never been a good person… Even if he’s my grandpa, he was responsible for our first child’s death. I need him to pay for that.” Curtis looked out the window, his voice rough

Deep down, Curtis didn’t want to go to war with Harold.

So, he settled for something else he set everything up so Harold would personally send his only son o prison in his final days.

He wanted Harold to feel the pain and helplessness of seeing his own son end his life for n

That feeling of being backstabbed by his closest kin…

He wanted Harold to experience that before he died.

Curtis’s veins bulged on his hand. Adriana knew he was in pain, too.

He was holding it all in.

She silently held both his hands, leaning on his shoulder.

“Don’t be afraid of me, Adriana … ” Curtis whispered.

He didn’t want her to think he was a lunatic.

He’d already killed his own mother. He wanted his father dead, and now even his grandpa was in the mix …

Curtis hated himself for it, too.

“Why would I be afraid of you? Curtis, I’m not naive. I may not be able to help much, but I’ll always stay by your side, no matter what … Even if the whole world calls you cold and heartless, I’ll still protect you with everything I have.”

All she could really offer Curtis was her presence.

But that was enough for Curtis.

Adriana took a few days off to stay in Harborton with Curtis.

Harold was moved to the intensive care unit. The ICU had strict security. No one but doctor was allowed in.

And even the doctors and nurses were from Harold’s personal medical team.

It would be nearly impossible for Michael to bribe them.

Chandler just showed up to stir up trouble and then left it at that. With Harold dying soon, he wouldn’t take any more risks. He wasn’t going to get his hands dirty.

But Michael couldn’t wait any longer.

“What do we do? Harold’s moving to a regular room tomorrow.” Juliet paced around the house. “I am not going back to living like we did before. You wasted all these years dragging me down. Don’t ruin things for

me now.”

Juliet glared at Michael, wanting him to come up with something fast.

“What do you want me to do? There’s nothing anyone can do,” Michael snapped.

Michael’s face twisted. She wanted him to kill his own father.

“Harold’s body is failing anyway. Whether he dies sooner or later makes no difference.” Juliet sat beside Michael, tense. “Michael, are you really going to let Harold sign a will leaving the Harold Group’s shares to Denton and everything else to Curtis? Have you seen the way Curtis looks at you?”

She continued. “He looks at you like he wants to kill you. If he gets all that money, he’ll come after you for real.”
