This time, his own son stepped on him and broke him completely.

Under the full pressure of the Langford Group, Raymond had no choice but to announce his withdrawal, using poor health and bad decisions as his reasons.

At the press conference, Raymond even bent down to apologize to Curtis’s family–meaning Adriana―right in front of all the reporters and media.

Adriana’s apartment.

Adriana sat on her bed, holding her phone and watching Raymond’s press conference. A cold smile slowly appeared on her lips.

With this, the person backing him just lost an important piece. She wondered how that person felt right now.

“Adriana, Raymond has been kicked out. Matthew has taken full control of Langford Group.” Yolanda walked into the room, smiling at Adriana.

The move using public pressure was truly powerful. Raymond never even had time to fight back. Langford Group’s stock price was already close to crashing. If he struggled any longer, he would have dragged the whole company down with him.

“In this world, a public opinion war is like setting off a business bomb.” Adriana tossed her phone aside. She didn’t care about Raymond’s apology. What she wanted was for Raymond- and the people behind him–to feel real pain.

Yolanda sat next to Adriana. She said, “Mia is back with the Langfords, but I heard Matthew is keeping a close eye on her. She can’t go out, not even once. I’m afraid she might sneak away and lose control, then try to hurt you. We should leave the country as soon as possible.”

Adriana nodded. “Don’t worry, Yolanda. I’m not the weak Adriana who used to get bullied and didn’t dare fight back anymore.”

Now, she was strong enough to face anyone.

If Mia still wanted to walk straight into the danger, that was her choice. Plain stupid.

Justin’s place.

Curtis continued his rehab, holding the bars and moving forward little by little.

His phone played the news of Raymond apologizing to both him and Adriana. His face showed no reaction at all.

“Adriana’s move was a total kill. Look at Harborton Entertainment’s headline-‘Stunning young widow cries at press conference, accuses Langford Group of destroying her husband…”

Justin rubbed his forehead helplessly. What kind of headline is that?

Curtis’s lips moved slightly. His wife was not a widow yet. “I told you. She’s not some weak littl bunny.”

“Taking down Raymond is like chopping off the left arm of the person behind all this. Feels good.” Justin smiled from the couch while watching Curtis push through rehab.

Curtis lifted his chin a little, looking a little proud.

What can I say―—she’s my wife.

Adriana’s public opinion strike didn’t just push Raymond and Langford Group to the edge. It also lifted Ainsworth Group to a whole new level.

Adriana made a bold move and chose to support Ainsworth Group. She invested big. Over the past few years, everyone saw how fast Ainsworth expanded.

No one could clearly tell who truly controlled Ainsworth Group. But the more mysterious it seemed, the more it sparked people’s interest and greed.

Everyone wanted protection from a powerful force. Ainsworth Group became the top choice to work with.

After all, the person behind it was powerful, well–connected, and skilled enough to raise Ainsworth Group to its current level in such a short time. That kind of ability couldn’t be ignored.

At one point, Ainsworth Group’s hidden CEO even became a business genius whose popularity surpassed Curtis in the business world.

No one knew that the business genius who surpassed Curtis was actually Curtis himself.

“You’ve got the plan, I’ve got the way up. Curtis, the people plotting against the Bartons and the Lincolns would never guess we’re holding more than one card,” Justin said, raising an

“What about Ernest? Have you put someone on him yet?” Curtis asked.

Justin nodded. “Don’t worry. We didn’t alert him. We’ve been watching quietly.”

“Ernest is aiming at the Lincolns and Lincoln Group. Later, his focus will overlap with Savannah’s. That means he’ll try to get close to Denton and the Lincoln Group. Do you your brother can stay firm?” Justin asked, still uneasy.

All day long, he kept worrying. To him, Adriana seemed too gentle, and Denton was an inexperienced young man–easy to trick and lacking real experience.

think

“Now that Raymond has been kicked out, the man behind the scenes will shift all his focus to Ernest. He trusts him deeply. So Ernest will deal with the Lincolns, and that man will turn his sights on the Bartons. You’re the next main target. Stop worrying about everything all day long. Adriana and Denton aren’t as easy to bully as you think,” Curtis replied sharply.

They had argued like this since childhood.

Justin gave a crooked smile. “Pretty confident, aren’t you?”

They were very different people. Justin believed in Christianity because he knew his heart wasn’t calm enough. He worried too much and carried too many concerns.

He understood his own weakness and wanted to keep it under control.

Curtis was different. Inside, he was calm, but on the outside, he had a sharp and bold side. He acted as if nothing really mattered, as if the whole world rested in his hand. At times, Justin felt Curtis’s confidence went a bit too far.
