Finished No matter how harsh Curtis's words were , Danielle didn't dare argue now . She knew better than to mess with him . She was all bark and no bite . " I want to see you in ten minutes , " Curtis said , then hung up . His final ultimatum wasn't for Adriana - it was for Danielle . Danielle's eyes reddened with anger . She glanced at the time and gritted her teeth . " Hurry up !

What are you dawdling for ? Get us back in ten minutes ! " Adriana wanted to laugh at Danielle's flustered expression but held it in , turning to look out the window instead . " You don't get to gloat . No matter what , I'm a Barton , the heir to the Bartons ' fortune . I have the whole family behind me ," Danielle said coldly . Curtis made her suffer , and now she wouldn't let Adriana feel comfortable either . " You're just an orphan , that's it . " Adriana said nothing , quietly staring at the passing scenery . Harborton's view was beautiful .

" Wait until Curtis doesn't want you anymore , and let's see how you survive in the architectural world . You think you can use him to climb up the social ladder ? Keep dreaming ," Danielle spat out , embarrassed and furious . Adriana continued looking out the window in silence , tuning her out completely . At the Barton Estate . The car pulled to a stop .

Danielle was the daughter of the Bartons ' illegitimate son . Without constant effort , she would be criticized and looked down upon .

Chapter 70 Lines and Loyalties It was up to Danielle whether to tell the truth . Finished She looked slightly nervous , glanced at Adriana , and smiled . " We just went to a nearby mall . Isn't that right , Adriana ? " Curtis turned to Adriana . Adriana paused for a few seconds before answering , " We went to the rehab hospital to see Cynthia . " Danielle's face instantly darkened . " I heard Cynthia returned to Harborton for rehab . I was just passing by and decided to check on her . " Curtis's expression grew even darker .

He ignored Danielle and said nothing more to Adriana , turning into the mansion . " You really think he'll protect you just because you told him ? Cynthia is his weakness . Don't even think about touching her , " Danielle warned Adriana . Adriana felt a twinge of disappointment . Cynthia really is Curtis's forbidden topic , huh ? " Curtis is my boss . Wherever you take me or whatever I do , I'll always report everything to him ," Adriana said seriously . Danielle gritted her teeth . " You're threatening me . " Adriana shook her head .

" If that's how you want to take it ." " Adriana , don't forget what I said . Within a month , he'll bring up divorce . They've found Nicole . No matter how much Curtis loves Cynthia , he has to preserve the Lincoln Group's reputation . But Nicole is the true heir of the Bartons . His engagement to her cannot be broken . He must marry her ." With that , Danielle walked into the mansion . Adriana lingered outside for a moment . Even if Nicole returned and Curtis divorced her , that was Curtis's decision . She just hoped he wouldn't make her pay a penalty .

As soon as she stepped into the living room , before she could fully register , someone pulled her aside and dragged her into a corner . " Don't believe a word that woman says . She's been lying since she was a child . " Curtis had Adriana trapped in front of him , whispering a warning . They were so close that it was almost intimate . Adriana's heart beat faster . " People might see us ... This isn't a good look . " " You're my wife . What's there to be afraid of ? " Curtis was still angry . " Besides , why were you running around with her ? Didn't you see me calling ?

" Cynthia is Belinda's mother , " Curtis said , surprisingly bringing her up . 2/3 20:03 Mon , Jan 5 G Chapter 70 Lines and Loyalties Finished Adriana looked at him in shock .

Adriana didn't understand why Curtis suddenly felt the need to explain . " She's a good person . It's fine for you to meet her , but you need to stay away from Danielle , " Curtis said , lifting his hand to ruffle Adriana's hair .
