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

Ms. Escape : Marrying to Run , Fighting to Rise Chapter 29 The Woman Before Eva hesitated for a moment , then smiled and nodded . " Alright ." Adriana took a bite of the mashed potatoes with vegetalles and ground meat - it was perfect . So , this was how the rich lived - never needing to lift a finger for anything . Finished All that poise she'd once admired in Natasha and it turned out it was just the confidence that came from a life padded by wealth . Her phone rang . Adriana glanced at the screen , only to see it was a call from Neville .

Since the last time she'd involved the media , the university had been threatening to withhold her diploma . And now , he was calling her ? " Adriana , we've secured your study abroad placement . The university had to fight to get you an extra place . So , uh ... Could you maybe take down those posts you made online ? " Neville asked sweetly . " Mr. Smith , wasn't that placement secured by someone else and not you ? " Adriana said with a slight smile . Neville paused awkwardly , then tried again . " Adriana , the university is your alma mater .

You shouldn't do things that damage our reputation . One should practice gratitude ." Adriana set down her fork , thought for a moment , and replied with a smile , " When I was beaten until I lost hearing in one ear , had my fingers stomped on , and was nearly left to die in the equipment room What did you say back then ? Something like , ' If you report it or make trouble , you won't get your diploma , right ? " On the other end , Neville went completely silent . Then , he ended the call without saying a word . Adriana found it almost funny .

She didn't even have time to put her phone down befor it rang again . " Hello ? " " Adriana , this is the HR department from Langford Group . You still haven't officially submitted your resignation . If you continue to miss work without notice " I already handed in my resignation , " Adriana cut them off . This had to be Matthew's doing , getting HR to call her . " 1 " Ms. Xander , even with a formal resignation , you still need to be present in person to sign the paperwork . " Left with no other choice , the HR representative gave in for now . " Fine . I'll head over to sign it at 2 p.m.

" After ending the call , Adriana took a deep breath . The feeling of getting the upper hand felt good . Really good . Though she knew that confidence didn't come from heelf - at least not for now . It came from Curtis . " Mrs. Lincoln , did you enjoy breakfast ? " Eva asked with warm smile . III O 1/3 11:54 Fri , Jan 2 DOD . Chapter 29 The Woman Before ༥ . , 49 % - Finished Adriana nodded . " It was delicious . " Eva smiled again . " Seems like young , health - conscious women all prefer lighter meals . Ms. Reese only cats light dishes too . " Adriana felt a twinge of curiosity .

Curtis's villa had a bedroom on the first floor just for his niece , and from what she'd seen , Curtis clearly doted on her . " Ms. Reese ... She's Curtis's biological niece ? I thought Curtis was the only child in the family ? " Adriana asked quietly . Eva paused for a moment , then quickly explained , " No , he's not . Ms. Reese's mother used to be Mr. Lincoln's private tutor . She passed away a while back and left Ms. Reese behind . Poor girl ... She's basically grown up under Mr. Lincoln's care . " Adriana nodded .

Eva's words sounded perfectly reasonable , but Adriana couldn't help but think there was more to it . After all , who would take in their old tutor's child for no reason ? Could it be that Ms. Reese's late mother was Curtis's first love ? " Eva , do you know why Mr. Lincoln has never gotten married all these years ? " Adriana asked , purely out of curiosity . Curtis had never been involved in any scandals in Harberton . He was over 30 years old and had no rumored girlfriends . No wonder Harold was anxious for him to settle down .

But Adriana didn't believe Curtis had no romantic history at all . Just like Matthew , who loved Natasha so deeply , he was even willing to wait for her to divorce so he could marry her . " Ah ..." Eva looked nervous , clearly afraid to say too much . " Eva , come on . You know Mr. Lincoln and I are just in a contract marriage . We're basically coworkers . It's okay . I'm just trying to understand him a little better so don't accidentally cross any lines , " Adriana said lightly .

She wanted to know more about Curtis because of this woman really was the daughter of someone he once loved , then no matter how spoiled or overbearing she might be , Adriana would just have to tolerate it . Adriana knew exactly the kind of women the upper class raised - women like Camelia and Mia , who were spoiled to the core . And Curtis ? He seemed even more protective than Mathew . If he'd been the one spoiling Ms. Reese , there was no telling how entitled she might be . " Ms. Reese's mother was actually Mr.

Lincoln's first love but there was quite an age gap between them , " Eva said quietly . " She was eight years older than him ." Adriana's ears perked up , completely drawn in . " Back then , Mr. Lincoln was just a teenager - 18 or 19. Falling in love with his tutor was considered scandalous . Mr. Harold thought the woman was unsuitable . She was unmarried and had a daughter , and he believed she was deliberately seducing Mr. Curtis . So , he broke them up . I heard they had a huge fight , and III 2/3 11:54 Fri , Jan 2 DD .

Curtis left the country out of spite . " Eva recounted the story with vivid details , fully in gossip mode . Adriana listened in surprise . This rich family love story was actually kind of tragic . She had another bite of the blondies while soaking it all in . Contract marriage really had its perks . No feelings involved meant she could enjoy the gossip guilt - free .
