suus and Mathew couldn’t be more different. When Matthew got upset, he always boulou up and looked for ways to get back at people in secret. Curtis, on the other hand, always settled seures cidit away. 16
pei even at the scene, he’d make sure to do it later.
Look at what you’ve become. Get yourself together” Matthew frowned, then turned and walked away.
Natasha stood frozen, only snapping out of it a moment later. She’d totally forgotten how a proper socialite was supposed to act just now, and she was horrified at how she had let Adriana affect her.
She took a deep breath and gathered herself, looking toward the entrance,
Nicole had arrived, too.
Nicole was the sole heir to the Bartons. Jeremy hadn’t thrown her a homecoming party yet, but it didn’t stop her from being the center of attention.
“Nicole. Natasha walked up to her, smiling and acting close, hugging her on purpose in front of everyone. This is Nicole, the Barton heiress. She’s my best friend.”
Danielle, now swamped by trouble from Curtis, couldn’t make it to Haldoria herself, so she’d sent Natasha to keep an eye on Nicole.
Nicole linked arms with Natasha and walked into the crowd, planning to use Nicole’s status to boost her own reputation.
Everyone crowded around, eager to get close to the Barton heiress.
After all, once Jeremy passed away, the Barton Group would go to her.
“Ms. Barton, you’re so lucky. I really envy you.”
“Yeah, as the heir to the Barton Group, you’ll inherit everything.”
Nicole raised her chin, then spotted Curtis and hurried toward him. “Curtis.”
Adriana was chatting with Curtis and a few business leaders when Nicole barreled in.
As a trophy wife, Adriana’s first instinct was to protect her sponsor, so she stepped in front of Curtis and blocked Nicole.
Nicole looked at Adriana, annoyed. “What rights do you have to stop me? He’s my fiancé. We’re going to get married eventually.
Adriana replied coolly. “Ms. Barton, have some self–respect. Throwing yourself at someone else’s husband in public makes you look classless. Besides, he’s my legal husband. Saying things like that just makes you look foolish. You’re not helping the Barton Group’s reputation either.”
Nicole really was clueless. If she ever took over the Barton Group, it’d be hopeless.
Sure enough, Adriana’s words sent a ripple through the crowd. Plenty of people had already been jealous of Nicole’s luck, seeing her as some lucky pauper turned princess.

เปล we had de poise of a real socialite, and Adriana’s words
made that even more obvious.
Curtis glanced at Adriana, who was shielding him, and smiled.
Sex that? This is what it’s like to have a wile who’s got your back Curtis even turned and teased Mattew,
Matthew nearly crushed his wineglass.
Nicole flew into a rage. “Who do you think you are? You’re an orphan with no parents, and you really think you can be Curtis’s wife forever? Curtis will get rid of you soon enough! She hurled every insult she could think of.
It just made her look even more unrefined.
Adriana sighed, looking at Nicole with amusement. She really isn’t very bright.
Didn’t she do her homework before coming? Tonight’s party was for Yannick Blake’s daughter, Wendy Blake. Everyone knew Wendy was adopted, and she absolutely hated it when people brought it up. But with Yannick being the president of the Haldoria Chamber of Commerce, nobody dared to bring it up
As soon as Nicole finished, Natasha’s face went dark, and she rushed to stop her, but it was too late.
Coming down the stairs, Wendy had already heard everything.
She walked down with Irene, her best friend.
They had been best friends for years and were super close.
Seeing Wendy’s expression, Irene clearly had no intention of helping Nicole out.
“Who invited this loudmouth? Get her out.” Irene spoke, furious.
No one else dared step in. Natasha had been sent by Danielle, so she had no choice but to step forward. “Ms. Blake, I’m sorry… This is Nicole, the Bartons‘ heiress.
