Ms. Escape: Marrying to Run, Fighting to Rise Novel

Chapter 125 The Setup " Mr. Harold , what brings you to Haldoria all of a sudden ? " Matthew asked politely . 350 Finished " Just some family business to handle , " Harold replied cautiously . He didn't want to admit that he'd come just to check whether Adriana was pregnant . " Adriana sure knows how to act , " Nicole said bluntly . " Mr. Matthew , you know her best - she's obviously faking a pregnancy to fool Mr. Harold ." Harold's face darkened . He hated people airing family matters in public , but Nicole didn't have the tact to realize it .

If she weren't a Barton , he'd never consider such a shallow , brainless girl as a future granddaughter - in - law . " Mr. Harold , I mean no offense , " Matthew said , glancing at him through the rearview mirror , " but Adriana can't be pregnant . She was with me for four years . " Harold's face turned stony , so Matthew quickly added , " Of course , that's not the point . " He then looked at Nicole meaningfully . Nicole caught on immediately . " Mr. Harold , she was with Mr. Matthew for four years without ever getting pregnant . She's only been with Curtis a few days - it's impossible .

She's just pretending . " Harold's expression grew colder . " She refuses to cooperate . What am I supposed to do , drag her to the hospital ? " " Actually , it's easy to get her to behave , " Matthew said lightly , as if in passing . " She's timid . The orphanage director , Margaret Hensley , is basically her foster mother . She listens to her more than anyone else . " In truth , he just wanted to use the old man to push Curtis and Adrianá into divorcing sooner . It wasn't entirely his fault - he simply couldn't stand the thought of Adriana staying by Curtis's side any longer .

The Lincolns were not a family she should ever get involved with , Curtis might be Harold's heir , but that family's business was darker than anything in the Langfords . The car stopped outside the hotel . Matthew got out first and opened the door for Harold . Harold stepped out with his cane , face grim . While Matthew went to press the elevator button , Nicole Jeaned close and whispered , " Mr. Harold , I heard Adriana had a few abortions when she was with Matthew Her body's already damaged , and she took birth control for years . There's no way she could get pregnant now .

She's just trying to climb higher and won't let go of Curtis . " Harold's face went black . A woman without self - respect or shame - he would never let her stay in the Lincolns . " Go to the orphanage and bring the director here . I want her to personally take Adriana for an exam ! " 1/3 20:16 Mon , Jan 5 G Chapter 125 The Setup Nicole's lips curled in satisfaction . This time , Adriana wouldn't be able to dodge it . X50 Finished After Harold entered the elevator , Matthew pulled out his phone and called Darren . " Is Adriana with you ? " " How'd you know ? " Darren laughed .

" You're not planning to interfere , are you ? " " Tomorrow , I'll take Mr. Harold and the orphanage director to the hotel to find Adriana . You should drop by and stir up a little misunderstanding , " Matthew said . He wanted Harold to believe Adriana was unfaithful- only then would he be determined to drive her out for good . " That's pretty ruthless , " Darren chuckled . " I'm not really that type of guy ." " I'll give you an extra ten percent on the East Suburb project , " Matthew offered flatly . Darren grinned . " Now that's more like it .

" The next morning , at the hotel , Adriana woke up late - it was already 10:30 am . She'd been unusually sleepy lately . Still groggy , she opened her Pastalia language app and listened to her lessons while washing up . The doorbell rang . She thought it was room service . " Who is it ? " " It's me . " Darren's voice came from outside . Adriana opened the door and found him standing there , dressed to impress , sunglasses on , looking like a peacock showing off . Her lips twitched slightly . " Mr. Maldonado , what can I do for you ? " " The weather's great . Want to go out for a walk ?

" He said smoothly , clearly up to something . Adriana eyed him suspiciously . " I'm not feeling well . I'd rather stay in . " As she tried to close the door , Darren placed a hand on it , smiling . " Let me come in for a minute . I just want a glass of water , " " If you're thirsty , the front desk can help ," she said calmly . " I'm out of water anyway . " " Come on , just let me sit for a bit . We can talk ," he said , trying to step inside . Adriana quickly pushed him back , watching him with guarded eyes . He was stunned .

For someone who looked so soft and delicate , she actually had strength . Given how he'd spoken to her yesterday , she felt perfectly justified in refusing him . " Seriously ? After all the help I gave you , you're really making me stand out here to talk ? What if someone sees us ? " He protested , glancing down the hall . 2/3 Cedella Cedella is a passionate storyteller known for her bold romantic and spicy novels that keep readers hooked from the very first chapter.
