Once Curtis died, all the assets would fall into Adriana’s hands. Going after Adriana would be far easter than dealing with Curtis. No one would take Adriana seriously,

Curtis nodded.

Before his and Adriana’s child was born, nothing could happen to him.

But right now, they were clearly at a disadvantage. The enemy was hidden, while they were exposed. T was no way to guard against everything.

At Haldoria University.

Adriana returned to the classroom. Yolanda was slumped over her desk, fast asleep.

Denton was back too. He’d rushed straight from the airport to campus. It was obvious he was working hard and pushing himself.

“Hi, Adriana,” Denton greeted Adriana.

Adriana ignored him.

Denton felt awkward for a moment.

“She doesn’t think much of you. In her eyes, you’ll always be the outsider who took someone else’s place,” Nicole said lightly as she sat beside Denton, deliberately stirring things up.

It was a clever line. Clearly, someone had coached Nicole on what to say.

Denton’s eye twitched. He looked at Nicole. “I don’t need anyone’s approval. I’ll prove everything with my own ability. I just need a clear conscience.”

Nicole seemed to have no follow–up. She didn’t know how to respond.

“Denton, don’t worry about what others think. Just be yourself.” The unfamiliar girl sitting to Denton’s right smiled and held out her hand. “Hi, I’m Savannah Feron. My dad was Mr. Harold’s butler. Before Mr. Harold passed, he met me and arranged for me to return and help you.”

Denton paused, looking at Savannah. Ernest’s daughter…

Ernest seems to be on Curtis’s side. His daughter should be trustworthy, right?

“Adriana, I bought milkshakes. These are for you,” Denton said during the break, handing milkshakes to Adriana and Yolanda.

Yolanda was still half–asleep. When she took the milkshake, she drowsily grabbed Denton’s hand. Denton

froze, his ears turning red.

Yolanda didn’t think much of it. She rubbed her eyes and started drinking. “This class is way too boring. I can’t even keep my eyes open.”

Adriana smiled but didn’t take the milkshake. “Don’t sleep. There’s just one more class. Then we’re f for the day.”

Yolanda woke up a bit more and hugged Adriana excitedly. “Babe, you’re finally back.”

Denton stood there awkwardly, still holding the milkshake. Adriana hadn’t taken it, and he didn’t know whether to pull it back.

Just as Denton was at a loss for words, Savannah reached out and took the milkshake from his hand “Milkshakes should go to someone who genuinely likes them. Otherwise, it’s a waste. I’ll take it. I like milkshakes.”

Adriana looked at Savannah. This girl was clearly protecting Denton. “That’s right. In the future, tell him not to buy me anything. I don’t need it.”

Savannah looked at Adriana calmly. “Ms. Xander, with your background, you’d just be an orphan without Curtis. Why look down on Denton just because he’s from a small town? You’re not more noble than he is. At least he earned his place here on his own. You rely on a man.”

Seeing the tension, Denton hurried to smooth things over. “Don’t fight. We’re all on the same side.”

He quickly explained to Adriana. “Adriana, she’s Ernest’s youngest daughter. She’s been overseas until recently.”

Savannah extended her hand to Adriana. “My name is Savannah. My father is the Lincolns‘ butler, but that’s nothing to brag about. I entered the Harborton Royal Academy’s gifted program at 13. At 16, I went to Moweland for advanced studies. At 21, I completed all my degrees and achievements. I retrained in Pastalian so I could accompany Denton to an overseas business school, and after returning, I’ll enter. Lincoln Group directly as a core member. That’s my ability and my confidence.”

Yolanda leaned back in her chair, listening to Savannah’s introduction. She raised her hand and clapped. “Impressive.”

Savannah raised her brows, clearly confident.

She looked at Adriana, almost provoking her, telling her to introduce herself too. What skills and achievements does she have?

Adriana said nothing. She had no backing. Her tuition had been scraped together by teacher. orphanage. Every step she’d taken was on her own. Her grades were excellent, but she was still ordinary person with no dazzling achievements.

“So impressive,” Yolanda said with a smile, standing up and turning to Savannah. “Then let me ask you this. If you were just an ordinary person or an orphan, without using the Lincolns‘ funding or their gifted training programs, could you really enter a gifted class at 13 and study in Moweland at 16? You’re amazing, sure, but the ladder you climbed was built by the Lincolns. And the Lincolns belong to Adriana’s husband. Who exactly are you showing off to?”

“What?” Yolanda shot back. “Different tracks, different gear. You were born fully equipped, and you’re comparing yourself to solo players? Then let me ask you. If you’d been born an orphan, go ahead a into a gifted program at 13” Yolanda pointed at Adriana. “If Adriana had been born a rich heir, she would’ve entered a gifted program at 10. What’s there to brag about?”
