Anyway, Curtis had come tonight to discuss cooperation with Matthew.

“You need to take control of Langford Group as soon as possible,” Curtis said with a frown, urging Matthew to speed things up.

At the very least, he could not allow the Langford Group to become another threat.

“I’m working on it,” Matthew nodded.

“Recently, there have been too many people watching me. Not just your family, but multiple forces. If anything happens to me, I need you to help me take care of Adriana,” Curtis said in a low voice.

He had to prepare for the worst.

“Adriana is pregnant.” Curtis hadn’t told anyone about this because he did not want Adriana to be in danger.

But now, he had no choice but to say

1. it.

He didn’t particularly trust others, but Matthew was someone who would definitely help Adriana.

“You idiot! How could you get her pregnant at a time like this?” Matthew was furious. He stood up and grabbed Curtis by the collar.

“She was already pregnant before Grandpa passed away. I originally thought that having this child would help secure the inheritance of Lincoln Group, but Grandpa died too suddenly,” Curtis explained.

Matthew frowned and let go of him. “Then she’ll start showing soon. Adriana will become a target.”

“Otherwise, why do you think I’m willing to help you take control? Do you think I have nothing better to do than play house with you?” Curtis said as he sat down and took a sip of his drink.

Only then did Matthew remember. Curtis was someone who never acted without profit.

He only did things that benefited him.

“Aren’t you afraid that if something happens to you, I’ll protect Adriana and she’ll come back to

me?” Matthew looked at Curtis.

“I’ve got enough confidence for that,” Curtis said smugly. “Matthew, you’ve been out of the game for a long time.”

Curtis was completely confident about this. Adriana would never go back to an old relationship.

Matthew fell silent. Curtis’s words stung.

He really was out of the game.

In the past, he had even fantasized that if something happened to Curtis, Adriana would definitely return to him.

But now it seemed that the path Curtis had paved for her was far too solid. Even if something happened to Curtis, Adriana would not come back to him.

Adriana’s wings had grown strong by now.

Curtis had given her that confidence, unlike Matthew back then, who only wanted to clip her wings.

“Matthew, I won’t help you for nothing. Since I’ve chosen to help you, you have to pay the corresponding price. I hope you’re worth it,” Curtis said as he checked the time and stood up to leave.

It was too late, and Adriana would be worried.

“Curtis, it’s obvious that you’re in a very dangerous situation right now,” Matthew chased after

him.

“If Adriana stays with you, she’ll definitely get dragged into it. If something really happens to you, I will step in. If Adriana chooses to come back to me, don’t blame me for being ruthless,” Matthew said this clearly in advance. He was not going to give up on Adriana easily.

Curtis ignored him.

Matthew wanted to say more, but Curtis had already entered the elevator and shut him out.

Matthew took a deep breath. In his eyes, Curtis was a madman.

At Curtis’s place.

Adriana lay in bed for a long time, unable to sleep because Curtis still hadn’t come back.

She was starting to worry. Her dependence on Curtis was growing deeper and deeper.

This led to a very serious problem. If Curtis went on a business trip or came home late, she would end up with insomnia.

Letting out a sigh, Adriana took out her phone and scrolled through Curtis’s social media. It was spotless, and even his profile picture was black.

Suddenly, there was a sound outside the door.

Adriana quickly got up and ran out.

Curtis was back. He must have guessed that she hadn’t gone to sleep, and he even brought her a late–night snack.

Adriana rushed over and hugged him.

“You’re still awake?” Curtis asked gently.

“I couldn’t sleep,” Adriana said. She had been thinking about what Curtis said. The people behind the scenes had been plotting against the Bartons and the Lincolns for so many years. They would never stop at such a critical moment.

Especially with Harold gone, and Jeremy’s health getting worse.

Chandler and the fake Nicole’s plan had failed. The person behind it all would only grow more impatient.

“Come, eat this,” Curtis said, lifting the bag in his hand. It was Adriana’s favorite, hot dogs.

Curtis had gone all the way to the snack street near the university to buy them for her.

When Adriana saw the hot dogs, her eyes immediately grew moist.

This man was truly good in every way.

She really hoped that Curtis would always stay safe and healthy.

At Denton’s place.

Harold had left all his assets and properties to Curtis. Someone had deliberately reclaimed the

properties in Curtis’s name, and Denton was thrown out onto the street.

“Denton, Curtis has gone too far. How could he send people in the middle of the night to kick you out?” Savannah said angrily as she sat on the street with Denton.

“Clearly, you should have at least half of those assets,” Savannah continued to provoke him.

Denton sat by the roadside in silence for a long time before standing up. “Since he doesn’t treat me like a brother, I won’t treat him like one anymore either.”
