“But you may be grooming your own worst enemy.” Adriana still felt that Denton and Curtis were alike. Both were wolves. If one day they stopped standing on the same side, it would really be trouble.

“If you trust someone, don’t doubt them,” Curtis said, choosing to believe in Denton.

“Alright.” Adriana stopped dwelling on it and hugged Curtis. “If you’re willing to trust him, I’ll trust him

Having money without power wasn’t necessarily a blessing. Curtis also worried it unnecessary trouble.

Now, everyone knew he had cash. He needed a reason to invest it all.

Only when people knew he had no liquid cash left would it truly be safe.

Adriana nodded obediently. She understood that logic too.

Curtis had no real power now, yet he’d gained a massive fortune. Plenty of people would be eyeing him, ready to scam him.

If they couldn’t get to Curtis directly, they’d definitely target Adriana.

Only by draining all of Curtis’s liquid assets could they truly strip him of any chance to rise again.

Ainsworth Group.

Curtis took the private elevator straight into the CEO’s office. Ronan was talking with an assistant. When he saw Curtis, he hurried over. “Mr. Lincoln, everything in Haldoria settled?”

Curtis nodded. “For now.”

Chandler definitely still had moves left.

“That, kid Denton … he’s impressive. He actually stabilized Lincoln Group,” Ronan said with a laugh.

Another prodigy. The Lincolns really do produce talent.

“Any movement in Haldoria lately?” Curtis asked.

“It’s been quiet. Ainsworth Group’s been surviving in the cracks, but profits are up. Langford Group is in chaos. Matthew’s fighting with several illegitimate sons over control of the group. He didn’t marry Natasha. She’s now teamed up with his half–brother and the two of them are ganging up on Matthew. It’s a mess.”

Langford Group had no time to deal with Ainsworth Group anymore. Ainsworth had already take advantage of the situation and climbed above them.

In today’s Haldoria, Ainsworth Group was the rising star. Its influence far surpassed Langford Group.

“If those people knew Ainsworth Group was yours, they’d probably die of rage,” Ronan joked.

Curtis raised an eyebrow and sat down, staying silent for a long while. “No moves from Chand. Haldoria?”

“That’s the strange part. Logically, after you were pushed out of Lincoln Group and came to Haldoria with that much money, Chandler should be worried you’d invest in Ainsworth Group, back other companies, or start something yourself. He should’ve warned the major firms not to help you, or tried to scam your money away… But so far, he hasn’t moved,” Ronan said, puzzled.

Chandler being this quiet didn’t match his usual style.

“That guy… He’s sometimes reckless, sometimes meticulous. He’s hard to read,” Ronan added.

“Reckless at times and meticulous at others just proves there’s someone behind Chandler. The careful planning comes from someone advising him. The recklessness is his true nature,” Curtis sneered.

Chandler hadn’t rushed to act this time. That meant a strategist behind him was pulling the strings.

“A bastard son like Chandler couldn’t have made it this far without someone backing him. That’s impossible,” Ronan said, looking at Curtis. “You’ve been holding back on Chandler because you want to find that person first, right?”

Curtis nodded.

That person didn’t just use Chandler to go after the Bartons and kill Adriana’s biological parents. They are definitely tied to Mom’s madness and death as well…

Someone who can manipulate two major Harborton families from the shadows. Who exactly are they? Someone Grandpa never detected until the day he died…

“Whoever it is, they’re definitely not simple. Dragging them out won’t be easy.” Ronan sig

Even so, Curtis had to pull them out.

Otherwise, Adriana would never truly be safe.

As long as she was the Bartons‘ heir, the person behind the scenes would never let her go.

“But the most dangerous one right now is you,” Ronan said worriedly. “You’ve lost real control of Lincoln Group, but still hold that much money. I’m afraid some wolves will come hunting you.”

“Let them bite,” Curtis said coldly.

“Adriana’s pregnant. Try not to get hurt. She’ll worry, Ronan said, afraid those people might go despate and try to kill Curtis.

And honestly, Curtis being dead would be the cleanest solution for them.
