Adrien took out his phone and sent the surveillance footage to Adam, who frowned immediately after opening the video.
âF*ck, it really was those two b*tches!â
âAinât that the truth!â
âHmph, Adam huffed. Time to make them pay for what they did to Emma!â
âWhatâs the plan?â Adrien asked. âGive them the third degree?â
âLeave this to me,â Adam said. âThis has been my job for ages.
âThatâs true,â Adrien sniggered maliciously. âYou havenât been the former owner of the Imperial Palace for nothing.â
âSpeaking of that,â Adam said, âwe should bring this up with Waylon.â
Adrien thought for a moment and agreed, âYouâre right. We need to stand up for Emma and also make a good impression in front of Waylon. I bet he suspects itâs us, thinking we were up to no good, revealing Emmaâs identity to force Abel out.â
âLetâs tell Waylon then,â Adam said. âLet him join the discussion on how to handle this matter.â
âDo you have Waylonâs contact information?â Adrien asked.
âI donât.â Adam replied.
Waylonâs rank was not something he could easily reach, and he had lost to Waylon in the past. The man couldnât even be bothered with him.
âI donât have Waylonâs number either,â Adrien said. âWhat should we do? Should I ask Lizbeth to inquire with Emma?â
âNo.â Adam waved his hand. âWe canât alarm Emma.â
âWait.â A thought hit Adrien. âLizbeth can ask Doris, no?
âThat works!â Adam knew about Waylonâs protective stance toward Doris. It was said that he even frustrated the Zaneveld family, but they couldnât do anything about Waylon.
âLetâs go with that,â Adrien took out his phone and called Lizbeth, instructing her to ask Doris for Waylonâs number.
Lizbeth naturally knew it was about Emmeline, so she called Doris.
Upon hearing the request, Doris hesitated a bit and said, âAre they looking for Mr. Adelmar for some other reason?â
Lizbeth explained the situation about standing up for Emma.
Doris nodded and said, âAlright, Iâll tell Mr. Adelmar right away. Iâll ask him to meet with Mr. Adam.â
After a moment of back and forth, Waylon actually arrived at Avalan an hour later, accompanied by Benjamin.
Upon hearing from the gatekeeper that Waylon had arrived, Adam and Adrien hurried to welcome him.
Waylon and Benjamin had already stepped out of the Maybach.
Waylon was dressed in an elegant white suit, radiating grace and sophistication, while Benjamin wore a sleek black suit, exuding a cool and handsome demeanor. When the two of them stood there, their imposing presence was undeniable. Adam and Adrien actually felt that they were inferior.
Only Abel could appear equally impressive when standing beside the two.
âMr. Waylon!â Adam reached out with open arms, warmly and unreservedly shaking Waylonâs hand.
Bygones were bygones at this point, and Waylon didnât want to argue with him anymore. Otherwise, ke couldâve thrown Adam yards away immediately.
Adrien also shook hands and exchanged pleasantries with Benjamin. Tll be in need of your help in business in the future, Mr. Benjamin,â he said humbly.
âYouâre being modest,â Benjamin replied. âYou managed the hotel very well, and thereâs hardly any deficiency in other aspects.â
âYouâre too kind,â Adrien said. âAs youâve heard, my position as the Ryker Group CEO is purely a stopgap measure. Iâm just waiting for the old man to ease his temper one day, and Iâll personally invite Abel back. Ryker Group is still his. I truly canât handle it!â
âFor now, letâs talk about the Steiner mother and daughter,â Benjamin said. âWaylon had only come for it.â
Waylon wouldnât have met with these two brothers if it didnât have to do with Emma.
At that, Adam invited the two men inside deferentially. âGentlemen, please, come inside.â
Waylon nodded and hummed in acknowledgment, and together with Benjamin, they followed the two brothers into the living room.
After taking their seats on the sofa and the servants serving tea, the four men began their discussion.
Adam started by showing Waylon and Benjamin the surveillance footage.
Waylon furrowed his brow and remarked, âThese two women are acting quite suspiciously. Itâs clear theyâre up to no good!â
âHighly likely. The video where they claim that Emma is a disciple of the Adelmar Clan was probably their doing.â Adam said.
Benjamin nodded in agreement. âSonia has been holding a grudge since her car race with Emma, and she also orchestrated the recent shutdown and inspection of Nightfall Cafe by the health department.
Additionally, there was the kidnapping of Emma in Dracovia not long ago, and Abel suspects their involvement in that too. Given all these events, itâs reasonable to suspect them in this case.â
Guilty till proven innocent!â Waylonâs gaze turned cold. âWeâll have our answers after we bring them in for interrogation!â
