Bullied and Dumped, But She Won in the End (Adriana) novel Chapter 425

Chapter 425 A Memory of When She Met Justin

After all, acting wasn’t something someone learned overnight.

Justin said nothing more and just hung up.

Curtis rolled his eyes. Danielle was probably with him at that very moment.

Adriana didn’t think too much about it. Justin was genuinely concerned about Barton Group. To him, loyalty and gratitude mattered more than anything else.

Honestly, Justin had already nearly repaid all the kindness Jeremy had shown him. He should have been free by now.

But Justin always seemed to be bound by some invisible chain, as if he simply couldn’t break loose.

Maybe everyone carried their own story. Adriana didn’t want to look into it any further.

Right now, her heart and eyes were full of Curtis. She had no room to worry about anyone else’s mess.

“Honey, Yolanda sent another video of the baby. Do you want to watch it?” Adriana looked through the child’s photos and videos with Curtis. The way Yolanda adored the baby made even Adriana, the baby’s actual mother, feel a little guilty.

Curtis kissed Adriana’s forehead with aching tenderness. If not for the chaos surrounding the company, the three of them should have been living a happy life together.

But right now, staying alive came first. And for the b

Safet this was the only choice.

Justin’s place.

When Danielle woke up, she realized she was in the guest room at Justin’s home.

She was stunned and dazed. After a while, she slowly realized that the person who had gone to that apartment and saved her had been Justin.

For a moment, her mind went completely blank, and her fingers dug hard into her palm.

She still remembered it clearly. When she was first brought back to the Barton Estate, the first person to notice her low blood sugar was Justin…

She had still been very young then, newly taken back to the Bartons, so thin it was painful to look at. Chandler and her mother had drilled it into her every day that she had to be outstanding, had to rank first in school, had to outdo everyone in everything.

So she started studying like crazy. She forced herself to learn etiquette, piano, dance, and every skill those wealthy girls were supposed to have, even though she hated all of it. She had done it all just to fit into that world, just to make Jeremy like her a little

more.

She had skipped meals and pushed herself to the limit. In the end, she collapsed from low blood sugar night there in the villa Courtyard.

Justin was the first one to notice her. He panicked, shouting her name as he rushed her to the hospital and frantically looked for laun doctor.

Chapter 425 A Memory of When She Met Justin

That was how she and Justin had first met.

When people first met, there was usually no hostility. Justin had once genuinely treated her like a younger sister, like Jeremy’s granddaughter, looking after her and protecting her. After that, he had even developed the habit of keeping a piece of candy in his pocket so he could give it to her whenever her low blood sugar hit.

But Chandler had told Danielle again and again that Justin was Gordon’s adopted son. If she didn’t work hard enough, Justin would take away everything that belonged to them. Justin was the enemy. They stood on opposite sides.

So eventually, Danielle had come to see Justin as an enemy. She had even found something about him that she believed put him beneath her. Because he was also an orphan—an adopted son brought back from an orphanage–she used that to elevate herself, despite her own identity as an illegitimate child from the slums.
