Chapter 192 Inheritance Games

The more Denton learned about the Lincoln Group, the more impressed and shocked he was by Curtis. The man was a total genius. It was nothing short of incredible how he managed to lead the Lincoln Group, and the entire Lincolns, through a comeback in such a short time..

Everything the Lincolns had in Harborton now was entirely built by Curtis alone.

Denton had no right to compete with Curtis for something that had always belonged to Curtis in the first place.

Michael didn’t have the right, and neither did he.

“You’re still too young to understand how much the foundation matters. If you want to stand at the top one day, you need to realize how important the Lincoln Group is to you. Technically, you do have a legal claim to inherit it. And let’s not forget, Harold didn’t give all his shares to Curtis. He made a deal with the Bartons,” Matthew said. He was talking about the secret between the Bartons and the Lincolns.

It was also the reason Curtis couldn’t refuse a marriage alliance with the Bartons.

“Back when the Lincoln Group was in its darkest days, it was the Bartons who stepped in and saved it. Without them, Curtis alone might not have been able to bring the company back to life. So Harold and Jeremy signed an agreement, that Curtis can only fully inherit the shares and family estate if he marries

Nicole, or if he has children of his own.”

Matthew gave Denton a small smile. “You’re a Lincoln too. If you marry Nicole, then everything that belongs to both families–the Bartons and the Lincolns–will be yours.”

He didn’t believe for a second that Denton wouldn’t be tempted.

For someone like Denton, a student with no real power yet, it was an enormous lure.

Marrying one woman and gaining control over the entire wealth and legacy of Harborton’s two biggest families? Forget Denton, even Matthew was jealous.

Too bad he couldn’t stand Nicole.

Denton looked at Matthew for a lon

time, studying him. “If marrying the Bartons‘ eldest daughter, Nicole, gives someone access to all their assets, then why didn’t you marry her, Mr. Langford? Guess Ms. Barton’s not that amazing after all.”

Matthew’s brows twitched slightly.

Denton nodded, feignin

“But

Langford, I’m only 19 … I’m not even at the legal age to get bit early to be having this conversation?”

Isn’t it?

Cissed. Denton was obviously playing dumb.

“Think about it carefully. You have a shortcut right in front of you to achieve everything you’ve ever dreamed of. Don’t throw away this golden opportunity for nothing.” Matthew stood up, ready to leave.

As far as he was concerned, Denton was still just a kid. No point wasting his breath. Michael and his wife would find a way to persuade him eventually.

But just as Matthew turned, Denton stood up too, his voice calm but firm. “If the only way to take that shortcut is by stealing what belongs to someone else, then no matter how fast it gets me ahead, people will always say I got there by cheating. I’d rather live a simple, ordinary life, even if I end up working a regular job forever. At least I’ll be earning my own way. I’ll have no regrets.”

Matthew froze mid–step.

To be honest, he admired Denton in that moment. What a shame, he was still too young.

Young people always had ideals, always wanted to stay pure and proud, refusing to bow to reality… Everyone went through that phase. Sooner or later, life would wear down those sharp edges.
