In Haldoria, Ainsworth Group.

Curtis sat in his office on a video call with Adriana. He was so worried about Matthew that he wished he could keep a video call going with Adriana 24 hours a day just to feel secure.

Even Ronan couldn’t stand watching anymore. He really couldn’t imagine that Curtis, who excelled in every other aspect, would be so insecure when it came to his loved one.

After Adriana finally coaxed him into hanging up, Curtis still kept sending her messages anxiously.

“Mr. Lincoln, that insecure, huh?” Ronan teased Curtis.

“What do you know? Don’t they say men can never forget their first love?” Curtis leaned back in his chair, continuing to text Adriana.

“Mr. Lincoln has a first love?” Ronan asked curiously.

“My first love is my wife, but my wife’s first love isn’t me.” Curtis said through gritted teeth.

He wished he could hurry up and find a way to call Matthew back home.

Ronan rubbed his nose, afraid to ask more, and could only change the subject. “Raymond probably hasn’t been sleeping well lately. We keep counterattacking, and they’re taking hits everywhere.”

“Alright, we can stop going after Raymond for now.” Curtis raised his hand, signaling Ronan to pull back.

Once Ronan stopped, Raymond would probably have the energy to go after Matthew.

What Raymond wanted most was definitely to take back control of Langford Group, so he would definitely make moves while Matthew wasn’t in Haldoria.

Curtis had originally been worried about something happening to himself, which was why he asked Matthew to look after Adriana. He just didn’t expect the shameless guy to actually move

in with her.

Well, don’t blame him for playing a little dirty then.

Ronan was already used to this and nodded before going back to work.

Curtis’s phone rang. It was Justin calling.

“Savannah went after the woman and son–the ones Ernest keeps on the side. Ernest’s illegitimate son was seriously injured in a car accident and still hasn’t woken up. He’s probably a vegetable now. I had someone deliberately leak that Savannah was behind it. Now the father and daughter have turned against each other. There’s probably going to be another shake–up inside Lincoln Group. You and Denton need to be ready to close the net.”

Justin reminded Curtis that the time to deal with Ernest and Savannah was approaching.

They had deliberately let the two go at each other’s throats before, but now it was time to prepare to reel them in.

“I have to say, that kid Denton has some skills. He’s pretty good at playing mind games too.” Justin joked.

Worthy of being part of the Lincolns.

All a bunch of sly foxes.

Curtis raised an eyebrow. Savannah and Ernest had obviously picked the wrong target.

They thought Denton was just some kid from a fishing village with limited experience who wouldn’t amount to much, but how could the Lincolns produce a weakling?

In this showdown, Savannah and Ernest lost because they underestimated their

opponent.

“The reason they let their guard down and were so easily manipulated by Denton is mainly because they completely believe you’re dead. Ernest going to the morgue to see your body was mainly to confirm this. You played it well. You Lincolns are all cunning as hell.” Justin joked.

“I’ll remind Denton. What about on your end?” Curtis’s lips curved up.

“Savannah not only provoked Ernest’s illegitimate son, but she also went after Danielle. That woman, Danielle, seems cunning and vicious, but she’s no match for Savannah.”

Clearly, Savannah was more ruthless.

Some dirt about Danielle’s personal life had now been deliberately leaked by Savannah, dealing another heavy blow to Danielle and Chandler, who were already lying low in

Harborton.

Danielle and Chandler had originally planned to hide away and wait for Jeremy to pass away before making a move on the real Barton heir to fight for the inheritance.

But then Savannah started attacking her own people, and now Danielle and Chandler were being driven out of Harborton.

“Danielle and Chandler should be heading to Haldoria soon.” If Chandler wanted Danielle to hide, he would inevitably take her to Haldoria.

Then Curtis could make his move.

It would be best to ensure Danielle and Chandler never had another chance to go Adriana.

“There’s one more important thing. You and Adriana need to prepare yourselves.” Justin was silent for a moment before speaking again, his voice heavy. “Jeremy… doesn’t have much time left. It might just be a matter of days. The doctors say even the injections can’t keep him alive anymore.”

Jeremy had already held on far too long, just so his granddaughter could grow strong enough.

Curtis was silent for a moment before speaking, “I understand. I’ll tell Adriana about this, but… she might need some time to accept it.”

“I

get

it.” Justin also knew that telling Adriana she wasn’t an orphan, that her parents were murdered, and that she was actually the Bartons‘ only heir–this would indeed be hard to accept.

The purpose of Justin’s call today was also to tell Curtis in advance so he could prepare and help Adriana accept this.

Moreover, once Jeremy passed away, it meant Adriana would have to return home to inherit everything from the Bartons.

After hanging up, Curtis kept thinking, trying to figure out how to tell Adriana all of this without making her too sad.
