Yolanda shot Adriana a quick look and whispered, “He’s the acting CEO of Ainsworth Group.”
Adriana froze for a moment. The man had just noticed Curtis and wan polite, but Curtis’s dark expression made him hesitate. He quickly tur spoke in a firm tone. “Nera Club has already been reorganized. How get in to disturb our guests? Do you not know that Mr. Lincoln is my ho.
The manager became clearly nervous at the scolding.
The club manager rushed to nod. “I’ll have them removed immediately.”

Natasha’s face changed when she realized who the man was. “Mr. Fowler, why are you here?” She gritted her teeth, annoyed that Ronan Fowler showed up today of all days.
“Curtis is about to lose his position as CEO of Lincoln Group. Once his family kicks him out, he’ll be nothing.”
Currently, the acting CEO of Ainsworth Group is Ronan. He doesn’t come from a powerful family, but he’s incredibly capable. For years, both the Joneses and the Langfords have been trying to uncover who truly controls Ainsworth Group, yet they still have no answers. Ronan has never revealed anything, no matter how people try to manipulate or pressure him.
“Ms. Jones,” Ronan said calmly, “before worrying whether someone else will be kicked out of their family, you might want to worry whether your family will survive long enough to see that happen.” He turned to the club manager. “Escort Ms. Jones out. From now on, anyone from the Joneses is banned from entering Nera Club.”
Natasha stared at Ronan in disbelief. “Mr. Fowler! This is too much. If you go this far, it won’t do you any good!”
If the Joneses were banned from Nera Club, everyone would know the club had changed ownership. They would lose their reputation.
Tonight was the soft reopening of Nera Club. Many powerful guests believed th were the ones who renovated it, thinking their influence was still strong. But if N thrown out in front of everyone, then all those wealthy elites would instantly realize something was very wrong with her family.
Over the years, the Joneses had cracks everywhere. If it weren’t for the crisis back then, Natasha wouldn’t have rushed to marry a foreigner and leave the country for four years.
Now she had returned and lost Matthew.
In the end, she gained nothing and lost everything.

“Ms. Jones, I’m giving you a chance to leave with dignity. Don’t make me throw you out.” Ronan’s voice dropped low, the warning clear.
Natasha’s expression turned even uglier. She didn’t dare step outside. If her family found out she’d been kicked out of Nera Club and, worse, damaged their access to trouble.
Nera Club was where the Joneses built most of their connections. If u

Danielle hadn’t expected Ronan to be this firm. Frowning, she tried, “Mr. Fowler, Ainsworth Group may be rising fast these years, but you’re still a newcomer. Offending the Joneses is not exactly wise.”
“Should I ban the two of you from entering too?” Ronan replied coldly, not backing down an inch.
Curtis stayed silent, calmly placing food on Adriana’s plate. He continued eating, completely unbothered. Matters like this were better handled by others. He didn’t need to intervene.
“Ronan Fowler!” Danielle snapped, frustrated.
“Please leave. My VIPS prefer to enjoy a quiet meal.” Hearing Curtis place his fork down a little louder, Ronan spoke immediately.
Security escorted all three women out.
Thrown out of Nera Club in disgrace, Danielle, Nicole, and Natasha stood outside fuming.

Natasha spoke through clenched teeth, refusing to accept defeat. People inside the club were pointing at them and whispering behind their backs, and the humiliation bur “Who is behind Ainsworth Group? Why are they so bold? They’ve been hitting lately!”
Danielle’s face darkened, clearly annoyed after being dragged down by Natasha. “Your family has given away Nera Club, and you didn’t even warn us before bringing us here to embarrass

Natasha looked guilty. “I–I didn’t—”

She didn’t care about business fights in Haldoria anymore. All she wanted was to see Curtis crushed, pushed into the mud, and stepped on.
“Danielle, where are we going?” Nicole asked nervously, hurrying after her,
