Ms. Escape Marrying to Run Fighting to Rise novel Chapter 383

Chapter 383 You’re Easy to Manipulate

“By the way, what’s the situation with Denton now? Has the engagement between Maya and him been scheduled yet?” Maggie thought she had the entire situation under control.

She wanted to swallow every one of the four great families that once ruled the business world.

“Their relationship is still warming up, and marriage has already been discussed. But Denton is still thinking over the conditions we offered.”

For Denton to marry Maya, the Gills demanded that he transfer 5% of his Lincoln Group shares to Maya as part of the wedding arrangement. The Gills publicly framed this as a financial safeguard for Maya.

But Denton didn’t agree right away.

“Denton didn’t accept the terms we offered?” Maggie’s eyes darkened as she heard this.

“He didn’t refuse. He just said he wanted to go back and talk it over with his sisterinlaw, Adriana.”

Maggie let out a cold laugh. Denton really did hold Adriana in high regard.

Too bad Curtis died early. Adriana was only his sisterinlaw and posed no real threat.

“Keep watching Adriana. When the time is right, give things a push from behind and let Chandler and Danielle clash with her until both sides take damage.” Maggie thought Chandler and Danielle were complete failures. After all this time, they hadn’t hurt Adriana at all. Instead, they’d helped her establish authority inside Barton Group.

“Also, over at Lincoln Group, besides Adriana, there’s Savannah and Ernest. Those two aren’t easy either. They stayed close to Harold for years just to get their hands on Lincoln Group. Now that Denton has slipped out of their control, I’m worried they’ll turn on him.” The assistant was concerned that Ernest and Savannah might ruin everything.

“I heard Savannah killed Ernest’s illegitimate son. She and Ernest are clearly at odds now. Add a little fuel and let them fight it out first. We’ll strike when the time is right.” Maggie snorted.

Savannah and Ernest want to compete with me for Lincoln Group? They don’t even qualify. Hmph!

Barton Estate.

Rain poured outside the window. Adriana finished her shower and sat by the window, waiting for Curtis’s video call.

She missed Curtis so much.

The Barton Estate felt unbearably empty now. Her grandfather was gone. Chandler and Danielle were gone. Justin was gone too. In this massive house, it felt like she was the only one left.

Adriana knew she had to grow stronger and become independent, but she still missed Curtis badly. She wanted him to come back and stand openly at her side as soon as possible.

“Savannah, you’re grown now. There are things I can’t control anymore. But harming your own family crosses the line.” Ernest sat on the couch, looking at Savannah as she walked in.

Savannah’s arm was injured, with wounds on her forehead and neck. It was obvious she’d been in an accident.

“Seeing me alive disappoints you, doesn’t it, Dad?” Savannah laughed. She’d been in a car crash the night before. If she hadn’t been lucky, she’d be dead.

And the person who wanted her dead was obvious to her. It was Ernest.

At least, that was what Savannah believed.

“Do you know why I never let you take over Lincoln Group?” Ernest changed the subject. He hadn’t ordered anyone to hit her with a car, but he knew explaining it would be pointless.

“It’s because you’re not smart enough. You’re ruthless, but you lack judgment. You’re easy to manipulate. Ernest laid out her fatal flaw.

That flaw was one of the reasons Savannah was headed for ruin.

“Heh… Dad, you keep women on the side and raise illegitimate children. You’ve wanted to get rid of me, your useless daughter, for a long time, haven’t you?” Savannah clenched her teeth as she stared at him. “You almost succeeded. If Denton hadn’t saved me today, I’d already be dead at that intersection.”
