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

" Of course . That's no problem at all . I'll send a driver right now to pick you and your family up . I've already arranged the finest hotel in town for you . Rest there tonight . Tomorrow , I'll personally take you and your son to visit the school . After that , we can discuss everything else . " Matthew knew exactly what he was doing . He always aimed straight for a person's weakness . He was a businessman to the core , and he knew how to deal with men like Michael and women like Michael's new wife . Michael hesitated for a moment before muttering , " Alright .

" Once the call ended , Matthew turned toward his assistant . " Take the most expensive car from the garage . Go pick up Michael , his wife , and his kid . Drive them to the Silverwave Hotel . Make sure they stay in the presidential suite . " He wanted Michael's wife to see what it meant to live like the rich instead of the poor . " Yes , sir ! " A small fishing village baked under the sun . Denton came back from the shore , covered in sweat and the heavy smell of saltwater . His shirt clung to him like a rag . " Go wash up , " his mother said brightly .

" Someone's coming to pick us up for Haldoria . We're going to see the school tomorrow . " She was already wearing her best clothes and had been waiting all morning . Denton didn't think much of it . He grabbed the hose in the yard and splashed himself with cold water . The spray hit his skin like needles , but he didn't care . He wiped himself dry with an old towel and went to change . " Dad , who's coming to get us ? " Denton asked as he stepped out . " Tom ? Is he hauling seafood to Haldoria again ? " He frowned . His mom looked way too dressed up for a simple ride .

" No , not Tom ," Michael said after a pause . He drew a breath , as if bracing himself . " There's something I never told you . I'm from Harborton . You've heard of the Lincoln Group from Harborton , right ? That's my father's company ." Denton froze . Then he burst out laughing . " You're kidding , right ? Dad , come on ." 1/4 8:45 Sat , Jan 10 Chapter 175 Meet Up ខ គ ០១ 99 Finished Michael's wife didn't look shocked . She had known something , but not everything . Still , she widened her eyes and gasped for show . " You're serious ?

If you're rich , then why did you make me and your son live like this ? " Her voice cracked as tears filled her eyes . Michael smiled faintly , as if her crying didn't bother him . " A man learns more from struggle than comfort . It makes him tougher . " Denton blinked at him , speechless . " Wait ... what did you just say-- " Before he could finish , a low , powerful engine growled outside . A luxury car gleamed in the sunlight as it stopped at their gate . The sound turned every head in the village . Denton's neighbors came out to gawk . Even the old fishermen paused mid - step .

The boy's mouth fell open . He wasn't into cars , but even he could tell this one was worth a fortune . A man in a sharp black suit stepped out and walked to the car door . He bowed slightly . " Mr. Lincoln , Mr. Langford sent me to bring you . " Michael straightened himself , trying to look calm . He adjusted his limp and walked toward the car . His wife followed with a bright , eager smile , her eyes glowing with pride . Denton stood there , frozen , watching them . " Come on , sweetheart , get in ! " his mom called out , her voice full of joy .

Denton sat in the passenger seat with a tight brow and blank eyes . His face gave nothing away , like he'd shut the door on his own emotions . He looked around the car's sleek interior , polished like glass . He didn't speak . Not a word left his mouth . His mom , though , couldn't stop talking . She was in awe , pointing at the leather seats , the tinted windows , even the scent in the air . Her voice carried the excitement of someone stepping into a world she'd only ever dreamed about .

When the car rolled to a stop in front of the grandest hotel in Haldoria , the assistant opened the door and led them to the top - floor suite . Denton stayed silent the whole time . His mother clung to Michael's arm , her eyes wide , her smile stretched too far . " Michael , you really are loaded! Does this mean I can finally buy whatever I want ? " 2/4 8:45 Sat , Jan 10 Chapter 175 Meet Up 99 Finished Michael grinned , his voice smooth with pride . " Anything you want . Get the best . A purse worth a few million , maybe . Oh , and I once bought a bracelet that cost half a billion .

Once we're back with the Lincolns , I'll get it for you ." His wife gasped , her hands flying over her mouth . " Half a billion ? That bracelet must be some kind of legacy piece ! " Michael smirked , straightening his back . " That's nothing . For the Lincolns , it's spare change ." His wife looked dizzy with excitement , like she might faint from the rush . Denton said nothing . He wanted to speak , but every time he tried , the words stuck in his throat . Everything around him felt fake , like a movie scene that didn't belong to him . At Curtis's house , things were quieter .

After Adriana begged him , Curtis had finally dropped the case . But Belinda still hadn't left the police station . Even when the officers told her to go , she wouldn't budge . In the end , Joe had to drive her back . Curtis refused to let her step inside . Belinda sat outside the gates , hunched down on the ground . Hours passed . She didn't move . Adriana stayed inside . She didn't want to face her . Dropping the case was already more kindness than she'd planned to give . Still , Belinda wouldn't go . She hadn't eaten anything either .

She just sat there , waiting , as if she believed someone would finally open that gate . " What are you staring at ? " Curtis asked as he stepped out of his study after a long meeting . Adriana stood by the window upstairs , her eyes fixed outside . " Belinda ... she's been there for hours , " Adriana whispered . " She hasn't eaten a thing . Maybe you should go and talk to her ? " ... Curtis frowned and walked closer . " Forget her , " he said , his tone sharp . He reached out and brushed her arm , checking the wound . " Does it still hurt ? " Adriana shook her head . " It doesn't .
