Chapter 126 The Trap Backfires 50 Finished Adriana walked over to the fridge to grab a drink for Darren and took the chance to start a video call with Curtis . " Adriana , Curtis is gonna dump you sooner or later . He doesn't even know what you're doing behind his back . Why not have a night with me ? Maybe I'll decide you're worth 30 million dollars a year too . I can afford it , " Darren teased , lounging lazily on the couch with a smirk . He was waiting for her to take the bait . In his eyes , Adriana was just hopping between Matthew and Curtis for money .

" Whatever Curtis or Matthew can give you , I can give you too ," Darren said confidently . Adriana poured the drink straight into the trash . This man wasn't worth the air he breathed . Darren sighed dramatically . " Come on , I'm not worse than those two , am I ? " " Mr. Maldonado , I'm Curtis's wife , " Adriana said coldly . " You barged into my room - are you trying to harass me , or do you want me to cheat on my husband with you ? " Darren coughed , caught off guard . Adriana looked so gentle , yet her tone somehow made him feel guilty . He glanced at the door .

Matthew should be arriving soon with Harold . " If you want to sleep with me , I wouldn't say no , " he said , stepping closer with a smirk . On Adriana's phone screen , Curtis's face turned dark . He pinched the bridge of his nose . " Darren , are you that desperate for company ? Wait until I get back - I'll keep you company myself . " Darren froze , nearly tripping over himself in shock . " What the Curtis ? Where the hell are you ? " Adriana lifted her phone , glaring at him . " I'm on a video call with Curtis ." Darren was stunned , furious , and a little guilty all at once .

He pointed at Adriana , speechless for a moment . Great - just great . He'd actually fallen into the trap of someone who looked as harmless as a kitten . " No , Curtis , let me explain ! I was just kidding around , " he stammered , panic rising in his chest . They were friends , sure - but he was still terrified of Curtis . " You can still get out while you can , " Curtis said , his voice low and cold . Darren didn't wait another second . Forget the deal Matthew promised him . He bolted out of the room . Adriana exhaled and sat down on the couch , turning her / gaze back to the screen .

" Are you busy ? I didn't bother you , did I ? " Curtis looked like he was in his office . " It's fine . You matter ," he said lightly , as if it were the most natural thing in the world . Her ears turned scarlet . She still wasn't used to him saying things like that - it made her greedy for more . 1/3 20:16 Mon , Jan 5 G Chapter 126 The Trap Backfires 3150 Finished " Curtis , maybe you should get back to work , " she murmured , not wanting to be a distraction . " Are you feeling okay ? " he asked quietly . Adriana sighed .

Her period had already ended , but it had been weird this time - barely any blood at all . " I ... " she began , ready to tell him about it , but loud voices sounded outside , followed by the click of a key card . The door swung open . " My friend saw her checking into this hotel with another man ! Adriana is a shameless , indecent woman ! " Nicole stormed in , dragging Matthew , Harold , and Margaret with her . Margaret looked anxious , glancing between Adriana and the others . Adriana sat there stunned , not even reacting for a moment .

On the video screen , Curtis's expression turned dark and dangerous . " Where's the man ? " Nicole demanded when she saw Adriana sitting alone on the couch , staring at her phone . Her intel couldn't be wrong - she began searching the entire room , the bathroom , and every corner . Nothing . That's when Adriana realized why Darren had tried so hard to get into her room earlier . Curtis had figured it out the moment Nicole walked through the door . Things were about to get very bad for the Maldonado family . " Ms. Hensley ." Adriana stood up , facing Margaret . Margaret sighed .

" Adriana , Mr. Harold asked me to bring you to the hospital for a checkup . " Adriana took a deep breath and turned to glare at Matthew . Only he would know how to hit her where it hurt . Matthew looked away , guilt flashing across his face , " Where's that guy ? " Nicole asked coldly after searching every corner . " What guy ? " Curtis's voice came through the phone , low and sharp . Nicole froze , her eyes darting to Adriana's phone , She was on a live video call with Curtis . " Curtis - I mean , it's Adriana ! She was meeting some man here ! " Nicole stammered , panicking .

Harold noticed Curtis was still on the video call with Adriana the whole time and finally relaxed . Maybe Nicole's friend had made a mistake . " Grandpa , I've been on video with Adriana the entire time ," Curtis said coolly . " She just broke into someone else's room . That's illegal , isn't it ? I'll call the police and have them handle her - and the hotel - for giving out key cards like that .
