However, Denton had grown up living a hard life. This was something the people behind the scenes seemed to have completely overlooked.

They seemed to believe that once Denton tasted luxury, he would inevitably grow greedy.

Fortunately, he could stay long–term at hotels under the Lincoln Group. In fact, his living conditions were even better now.

Leaning against the floor–to–ceiling window and cating watermelon, Denton pondered for a long time, and was still unable to grasp how he had ended up in the top–floor suite of Haldoria’s most luxurious hotel.

He had grown up in the countryside, never experiencing parental affection and being forced to “support” his parents from the moment he became aware of the world. And now, all of a sudden, he had become the heir of the Lincoln Group.

When he took over the Lincoln Group, he never felt that he was unworthy of the position. Instead, he worried that his existence might have taken something that originally belonged to his brother.

Everyone was betting on him. They all believed that Denton would surely be dazzled by wealth and indulgence, that he would eventually fall out with Curtis over the family fortune. But for Denton, what he longed for most was family affection.

Those people, standing above everyone else, would never understand Denton’s true thoughts and feelings. To them, family affection was the cheapest thing in the world.

“Denton, where are you staying now?” Savannah asked over the phone. “Come out and have some fun. I’m at Dreamnight Lounge with a few friends. Want me to pick you up?”

Denton was about to refuse when Savannah spoke again. “It’s a good chance to introduce you to some friends. They’re all rich kids from Haldoria’s circle. After you graduate, you’ll be taking over the Lincoln Group, so you’ll definitely need connections in the circle. Curtis has so many friends around him. You should get familiar with this circle too.”

Savannah spoke earnestly, sounding as if she were truly thinking of Denton’s future.

Denton thought for a moment, then agreed. “Alright. Send me the address. I’ll go there myself.”

He also wanted to see what Savannah was planning next.

Before Denton arrived, Savannah was already having fun with several rich kids from the circle.

“Where are you now?” Savannah sent Denton a message.

“Just heading out,” Denton replied. He was actually almost there, but he told Savannah he had just left. “Traffic’s bad.”

He was riding a shared bike while telling her he was stuck in traffic.

Savannah did not think much of it and did not suspect Denton of lying. She put her phone away and looked at the group of rich kids.

“When Denton gets here later, be polite and watch what you say. Don’t forget your task,” Savannah said arrogantly.

“Don’t worry. We may not be very capable at work, but when it comes to ruining someone, we’re more than capable,” they said with malicious smiles.

“Denton grew up in the countryside. He hasn’t seen much of the world. The easiest way to ruin him is to hook him on habits he’ll never shake. We just need to get a chokehold on him before he ever sits on the Lincoln Group throne Savannah said with a vicious smile as she clenched her fingers. “Remember this. You have to find his weak spot.”

“Don’t worry,” the rich kids replied, grinning darkly.

Outside the door, Denton had arrived early. He quietly stood there and listened to their conversation.

How stupid were these people? They really thought that a kid from the countryside would be simple, easy to deceive, and easy to control.

They had overlooked one simple fact. Denton was Curtis’s half–brother. With someone as cunning as Curtis, how could he possibly have a foolish younger brother?

Denton smirked coldly and headed to the restroom.

This circle was a ruthless place that devoured people to the core. A whole group was scheming against him alone, planning to consume him until nothing was left.

Using him to deal with Curtis was one thing. But they also wanted to crush him completely and turn him into their lifelong puppet.

If he had never experienced such things before, a young man from the countryside might indeed find it hard to accept. But that feeling would only be temporary.

Leaning against the wall outside the restroom, Denton secretly sent his brother a message.

Right now, he needed some emotional comfort,

“Curtis, they’re planning to gang up on me. They want dirt on me so I’ll do whatever they say from now on. They’re trying to get me hooked on bad habits.”

After sending it, he added a pitiful emoji.

At Curtis’s place.

Curtis’s phone kept lighting up as he was coaxing Adriana to sleep.

“Do you have another woman outside?” Adriana lifted her head and glanced at Curtis.

Curtis helplessly picked up his phone and took a look. It was Denton.

As someone with zero experience in taking care of kids, Curtis really did not want to deal with Denton right now.

Since Denton had already overheard the other side’s plan, it meant that those fools combined were no match for him. Yet Denton still came here pretending to be pitiful and asking for comfort.

“Delete my contact.”

Curtis only had one rule for Denton–do not chat or send messages unless necessary.
