“Ms. Xander, please tell Ms. Barton that if I stop her from going back to the Bartons, then everything in the Bartons would belong to me,” Justin said, looking at Adriana with a playful grin.

Adriana’s eyes were calm and steady, showing no fear. She spoke quietly but firmly. “That Ms. Barton may not be very skilled, but she’s totally capable of burning down what’s hers. She could take it all down with the Bartons.”

She could give up the Bartons‘ assets if she wanted. But if anyone tried to take it by force, she wouldn’t hold back. She’d destroy it all.

Justin studied her. He saw a trace of Jeremy in her, back when he was young.

Blood ties didn’t lie. A tiger cub wouldn’t grow up to be a rabbit.

“So, what does that Ms. Barton want me to do?” Justin asked, finally giving in.

Over the years, many people had tried to convince Justin to betray the Bartons. He never had. For the first time, a woman had made him feel a real threat.

Adriana wasn’t bluffing. If the Bartons were in danger again, she might really take everything down with

her.

After all, Jeremy had built every road and chance for her father.

“I’ll need you to work a little, Mr. Justin, to play a part with me,” Adriana whispered near his ear.

She wanted Justin to use his charm to get close to Savannah, keep an eye on Ernest, uncover his real plan, and make everyone believe Justin was about to betray the Bartons while Jeremy was very sick.

This way, the real mastermind would reveal themselves and meet Justin face–to–face. After all, Justin was a big player who knew the Bartons inside and out.

The Lincolns were already in chaos, looking like it was completely under Ernest’s control.

Soon, Justin would be the main target for the mastermind to flip.

Justin looked at Adriana and almost laughed. She and Curtis really were a perfect pair–even their tricks matched.

“Alright. Let’s make this work,” Justin said with a smile, shaking Adriana’s hand.

At the Barton Estate.

Jeremy’s health was getting worse. He now needed a doctor by his side at all times, just in case something

went wrong.

“Grandpa’s been pushing himself too hard for years. Since last year, the IV line has been the only thing

keeping him alive.” Justin said softly as he led Adriana into the bedroom.

Jeremy’s room looked a lot like Harold’s used to–completely turned into a monitoring ward.

Machines were buzzing everywhere, and the oxygen machine never stopped working.

Jeremy lay in bed, looking much thinner than before.

It was clear the medicine was keeping him alive.

“Mr. Barton,” Adriana whispered, her breath catching.

When Jeremy saw her, his dull eyes suddenly brightened.

For a moment, he thought he was looking at his wife when she was young.

“Adriana…” He tried to sit up, but Justin gently held him down.

“Grandpa, just rest. The doctor said you shouldn’t move,” Justin said softly.

Adriana stepped closer, holding back the tears burning in her eyes. “Mr. Burton, please take care of yourself… I’m going abroad to study for two years.”

Her so–called study abroad wasn’t just about learning. Adriana needed to hide, giving birth safely, and quietly watch Savannah and the other fools make their moves.

When she returned, it would be time to get her revenge.

“Alright…” Jeremy nodded, fighting back tears. He would stay alive until the day Adriana came back.

“Grandpa just had a small surgery for a blood clot. It went well. No need to worry too much. He’s still tough,” Justin said with a smile, as if speaking for someone else to hear.

Jeremy was running on empty, but he had to keep going.

Even if it meant daily injections, he had to survive.

He had to hang on until his only granddaughter could return and take charge.

“Grandpa will live a long, long life…” Adriana whispered.

Jeremy’s worn hands held her fingers tight, words he couldn’t speak stuck in his chest.

He longed so much for that day–the day he could tell everything to his granddaughter himself.

“Grandpa, rest now. Adriana passed through Harborton and stopped to see Mr. Lincoln and you,” Justin said softly, reminding him not to show too much feeling.

There were spies everywhere now. Everyone had to stay careful.

Slowly, Jeremy let go of Adriana’s hand and watched Justin lead her away.

At the door, Adriana turned for one last look. Her family was right there, yet they couldn’t acknowledge each other. She didn’t know if, when she returned in two years, she would even see him again.

“When’s your flight?” Justin asked as they walked through the courtyard.

“Tomorrow,” Adriana said, her mind elsewhere.

“Is the baby doing okay?” Justin asked, looking down at her stomach.
