“Curtis is a monster, a total lunatic. He even killed his own mother, so what makes you think he’ll et me go? The reason I’ve been hiding all these years is simple–I’m scared he’ll find me and kill me.” Michael gritted his teeth as he spoke.

Curtis was a total lunatic.

Michael had witnessed Curtis kill his mother with his own eyes.

He was genuinely afraid of Curtis.

Even when Curtis was a kid, Michael could tell that one day he’d turn into a deadly man.

“You’re right. I can’t let my dad hand over any money to him. A vicious snake like Curtis needs to stay in the pit. If he ever gets out … we’re as good as dead.” Michael’s voice shook.

He gritted his teeth, ready to take matters into his own hands.

Silverwave Hotel.

Adriana lay in Curtis’s arms, lost in thought.

Today was the day Harold was supposed to be transferred to a regular room. The doctor had just called Curtis and said Harold was awake.

“Aren’t you going to see your grandpa?” Adriana asked quietly.

Now that Harold was moving to a regular room, Michael might make his move.

“I’ll go check on him … ” Curtis gently rubbed Adriana’s head and let his hand rest lightly on her flat stomach.

Adriana looked up at Curtis, her chest tightening with pain.

When Belinda pushed her down the stairs and she lost the baby, Adriana had always thought Curtis didn’t really care.

He hadn’t shown much pain or anger.

But now, she realized that real pain and anger weren’t always loud or obvious.

He had always cared deeply.

Especially when it came to his grandfather hurting something he treasured.

‘Curtis, I’ll protect myself and our baby, too,” Adriana whispered.

This time, she was determined not to let Curtis lose what mattered most to him.

“I’ll keep you both safe,” Curtis murmured, his voice was rough.

It was time for them to go to the hospital and watch the show.

Harborton Hospital.

Michael and Juliet had just arrived when Juliet suddenly clutched her chest, looking like she w faint.

“Denton, take your mom to get checked out. I’m going to check on your grandpa,” Michael said. sending him away.

Denton frowned. He knew when his parents played these tricks, they were definitely plotting something.

He said nothing and led Juliet to the doctors.

“Denton, my heart isn’t great either. Since we’re already here, maybe we should get it checked, too?” Juliet tried to stall, hoping to keep Denton busy.

“Mom, you’re faking it so I won’t stop Dad from hurting Grandpa, aren’t you?” Denton’s face darkened as he looked at Juliet. “You’ve both lost your minds…”

Juliet’s face changed. She grabbed Denton as he tried to leave. “Denton, you can’t go. You can’t stop your father. I’m your mom–don’t you care about me? What good are those Lincoln Group shares? What if the company goes under? It’s the cash and properties that matter!”

Denton’s eyes reddened, his whole body trembling. “You’re both being stupid. Don’t you realize you’re digging your own graves?”

He trembled, knowing that if he saw through the plot, Curtis would have, too.

Curtis was too smart. There was no way he’d suddenly let his guard down. He was just waiting for Michael to walk into his trap.

“Mom, I’m not going to stop Dad. I’m going to save him!” Denton yelled, turning to leave.

Juliet steeled herself, then slammed her head into the wall.

Denton froze in place, staring as blood trickled down her face.

He suddenly understood something. Good parents helped their kids reach greater heights. Even average parents didn’t hold their kids back. But bad parents like Michael and Juliet were just a burden.

“Denton … if you leave now, I’ll kill myself right here,” Juliet sobbed.

Denton walked stiffly toward her. “Mom … you chose this. Don’t regret it.”

For the first time, he truly saw the ugly reality of wealthy families–there was no warmth or affection, only endless schemes and betrayals.

Michael and Juliet were plotting against Curtis, trying to keep him from getting any of Harold’s inheritance. But they had no idea–they weren’t even playing the same game as Curtis.

All Curtis had to do was stand by and watch them flail around like fools.

Just one move from him could crush them completely.

But still, they actually believed they could beat him.

Ha…

Dad, Mom, you’re pathetic.

Inside the hospital room, Harold lay with an oxygen mask, his gaze weak and unfocused. The only sounds in the VIP suite were the cold hum of machines and his shallow breaths.

The heart monitor beeped steadily, showing his heartbeat was evening out and slowly getting stronger.
