âThe guy next to you is so handsome. Iâd pay money just to sit with him!â The âprincessesâ giggled and pointed at Abel.
âGet lost!â Luca roared angrily.
The two princessesâ faces went pale, and they ran away as fast as they could in their high heels.
Lucaâs actions attracted the attention of the other guests in the bar.
In a corner, Adam narrowed his gaze.
That man drinking nonstop at the counter. Is he my cousin and the CEO of Ryker Group, Adam Ryker?
Heheh, he looks like he wants to kill someone. I guess Alana succeeded!
Thatâs f*cking great! Haha!
Adam pointed a finger at the counter and said to his subordinate, âGive that guy all the alcohol he wants. Tell him itâs on the house.â
âYes, Palace Lord!â
âAlso, he doesnât like women. Get two guys to serve him.â
âYes, Palace Lord!â
The subordinates ordered two of the most handsome waiters to bring a tray of various alcoholic drinks to Abel.
âHere are some drinks, sir. Theyâre on the house.â
One of the waiters placed a shot glass in front of Abel, and the other daintily filled it with alcohol.
Abel frowned. âWhoâs so friendly?â
âHe didnât tell us his name. All he said was that you donât like women, and we should serve you.â
âSo youâreâ¦â Abel did not quite understand.
âWeâre here to serve your kind of people.â
Abel frowned. âMy kind of people? What kind of people?â
âOh, youâre such a tease!â One of the waiters dropped himself onto Abelâs lap.
Luca could not help but laugh.
âGet lost!â Abel pounced from his seat as âHahaha!â Adam was laughing in his corner. âYouâre so interesting, Abel!â
âGet me that person! He needs Who the heck thinks I like men? Iâm as straight as an arrow!
âDonât be angry, sir,â the waiters hugged Abelâs elbow. âViolence doesnât solve anything!â
âStop disturbing me. Get the f*ck away.
The two waiters fell on the floor. They realized Abel was not joking with them, and they hastily ran away.
Adam came over with a smile Abel narrowed his gaze. â⦠Adam?â
âThatâs me,â Adam said with a smile. âWhy are you drinking here instead of accompanying Alana in the hospital?â
âDid you send those two guys to me?â Abelâs eyes were filled with murderous intent.
Adam laughed. âI know youâd release your anger on any woman Abel stood dangerously close to Adam and âOh, how dare you?â Adam said calmly. âI wouldnât dare risk Grandfatherâs life!â
âIt better not be you!â Abel shoved Adam away and grunted. âDonât let me find out whoâs behind it!â
âYouâre overthinking it.â Adam straightened his collar and lifted a glass, Letâs drink. Itâs been a long time since we drank together.â
The strong alcohol soon made Abel drunk.
However, Abel did not want to stop drinking. The alcohol numbed his pain.
Adam went upstairs and watched the drama unfold from the balcony.
Look at your miserable state, Abel. The more miserable you are, the happier I am!
Seeing that Abel did not want to stop drinking, Luca had no other ehoice but to give Emmeline a call.
âNo one can stop him! Heâll get gastric ulcers if he continues drinking!â
âWhere are you?â
âThe Imperial Palace.â
âThe Imperial Palace?â Emmeline was surprised. She did not expect Abel to be there.
She dared not waste any time. Things would be worse if something happened to Abel while he was drunk.
âIâll go there now,â Emmeline said and ended the call.
