In Haldoria, Danielle was slapped across the face by Chandler in their hotel room. Now they were forced to shift their work focus from Harborton to Haldoria–in other words, they’d been kicked out.
“Didn’t I tell you again and again that Jeremy is dying? Before he dies, we absolutely cannot create any complications, and we absolutely cannot have any scandals spread. You idiot!” Chandler was furious. Because of Danielle’s scandal, they’d almost destroyed their only way
out.
“Dad! I checked. It was that bitch Savannah. She’s just a butler’s daughter who wants to climb the social ladder. She deliberately ruined my reputation and completely destroyed me in front of Justin!” Danielle said angrily, looking at Chandler with resentment.
“Enough! You can’t even handle a butler’s daughter. What can I possibly count on you for?” Chandler snorted. “Since we’ve temporarily left Harborton, let’s shift our focus to Haldoria. You still have some reputation in the industry. Establish a foothold in Haldoria as soon as possible.”
Danielle nodded. “Dad, my reputation in the architectural design field isn’t something they can easily shake. As long as I have the ability and the skills, I can definitely rally many partners to our side. You’ve been managing Barton Group’s architectural design and real estate for years. After Jeremy kicked us out, they’ve been like a ship without a captain.”
Danielle sneered confidently. “Justin is good at management, but he doesn’t understand architectural design. Once Jeremy dies, we’ll fight for this sector. Plenty of people will stand with us then.”
Danielle and Chandler were already planning how to fight for the inheritance.
Even if Jeremy had written a will, they could still find ways to contest it. As long as Barton Group’s former partners stood with her and Chandler, even Justin would have to find a way to make peace.
“Jeremy suddenly making such a big show of paving the way for the real Barton heir means they’ve already found her.” Chandler looked at Danielle. “Still haven’t found any clues?”
Danielle’s expression was grave. “Justin has been secretly meeting with quite a few women. They’re all orphans and around the same age as the real heir, but there are too many of them.

He’s throwing up red herrings.”
Danielle rubbed her red and swollen face. Justin was too clever.

“Justin also has grievances against Jeremy. After all, he’s been the Bartons‘ dog for so many years, and in the end, he still has to continue being a dog for the real heir. Work on him.” Chandler said thoughtfully.
Danielle spoke angrily. “I had a really good shot before that bitch Savannah ruined everything!”
That bitch, just to slander me in front of Justin, actually tried to destroy me.
Since she was ruthless, don’t blame me for being merciless.
“Can’t even handle such a small matter.” Chandler was very dissatisfied with Danielle. “I’ve put so much effort into training you. You better show me your worth.”
After speaking, Chandler thought for a moment and spoke again. “By the way, I heard Jeremy’s body can barely hold on anymore. In two weeks, there’s an architectural design competition. You must take first place. Only then can people in the industry see your value.”
He needed Danielle to stand at the top of the architectural design field and become the most valuable ace up his sleeve.
“Dad, don’t worry. I’m determined to win.” Danielle’s lips curved up.

Irene gave birth to a daughter in Pastalia. The baby was premature and stayed in the incubator for half a month before being brought home. The little baby was so tiny, only slightly bigger than Gary’s palm.
“Gary and I are going back home next month. Adriana, you should come back with us.” Irene held her daughter while sitting on the bed, looking at Adriana.
She had also received word from Justin that Jeremy was dying.
Now, Harborton was in turmoil. All factions were stirring beneath the surface, waiting for Jeremy to pass away so Barton Group would descend into chaos like Lincoln Group had. The power structure at Barton Group would undergo earth–shattering changes.
Adriana nodded.
It was time for her to go back too.

“My professor introduced me to many people in the industry, and I’ve won quite a few awards recently. After returning to Harborton, I want to establish my own studio.” Adriana played with the little baby in Irene’s arms and smiled at her.
She came here to study partly to build her credentials and partly to strengthen her own capabilities.
Only by surpassing Danielle and Chandler in architectural design and real estate development, completely crushing their last shred of pride in the industry, could she truly hold the trump card.
“In two weeks, there’s an architectural design competition in Haldoria. It’s the championship for the entire Sheonia region. All design works will be displayed openly and transparently. If you can take first place, it would be a great opening for your studio.” Irene held Adriana’s hand. “When we go back in a few days, I’ll introduce you to several well–known designers. They’re your seniors. Learning more about the judges‘ preferences for this competition will definitely help your design work.”
