Chapter 1462: Chapter 1465 Sisterly Intrigues

Alana’s mind raced as she slumped into the chair, contemplating her next move.

The idea of Abel’s love for Emmeline made her anxious, and she couldn’t bear the thought of being left behind. She wanted to be the center of Abel’s attention.

Suddenly, an idea sparked in her mind. She pondered, Isn’t Adam, Abel’s elder brother, still working at Ryker Group? I could use him to my advantage.

Alana carefully wrapped the photo frame and asked a security guard to deliver it to Abel’s backyard.

Adam was sitting alone inside, watching a TV show, and was about to return the next day after this brief visit.

“Hi, Adam, I’m so happy to see you, Alana greeted him warmly.

“Nice to see you too, Alana. Please have a scat,” Adam responded, impressed by Alana’s friendly demeanor.

“It’s okay. I’m here to deliver something to Abel,” Alana declined his offer.

Adam noticed the security guard carrying a large cardboard box and asked, “What is it? It looks heavy.”

“It’s from Luminara for Abel, Alana explained. “I don’t know what’s inside. Can you check it for him later?”

“I see. Just leave it there,” Adam instructed the security guard to place the box down. “You can Bero go now,”

After the security guard left, Alana smiled and said, “Adam, you have a natural aura of leadership.”

“Leadership? Me?” Adam chuckled modestly. “I’m just guiding Zahn and his mother.”

“Has Zahn started attending driving school?” Alana asked, although she already knew the answer.

“Yeah,” Adam confirmed. “Abel arranged it. He suggested Zahn become a driver and get some practice.”

“Zahn seems clever, Alana commented. “Abel will surely like him. You can rest assured!”

“Your words reassure me,” Adam replied, glancing at Alana. “You must be quite close to Abel. How else would you immediately recognize me as his elder brother?”

Alana lowered her head, smiling as she twirled her hair. “To be honest, Abel and I are in a relationship.”

“That’s great!” Adam exclaimed. “You truly have an open mind and a warm heart. My mother would surely adore you!”

“I haven’t had the pleasure of meeting Aunt Julianna yet,” Alana mentioned. “I’ll select a few gifts for you to give her. Consider it my way of showing respect to Aunt Julianna.”

“That’s thoughtful of you, but there’s no need to spend any money,” Adam responded.

Alana insisted, “We’re not strangers, Adam. There’s no need for formality.”

“Indeed, we’re not strangers!” Adam chuckled. “It’s just that Zahn…

“What’s going on with Zahn?” Alana asked, her concern evident. “Isn’t he doing well?”

“You have no idea, my dear sister–in–law,” Adam said, his expression serious. “Zahn is not an easy child, and I’m worried about what may happen in the future…”

Alana burst into laughter at the mention of “sister–in–law.” “What are you afraid of, Adam? Just tell me.”

“Abel has an unforgiving temper. I fear Zahn might provoke him, Adam confessed.

Alana knew this all too well. She had only seen Abel yield to Emmeline so far.

“Normally, if I tell Abel about this, it would work. But now…” Alana pretended to look troubled.

“What’s the matter now?” Adam asked, feeling a sense of unease.

Alana remarked, “Abel is quite indulgent, particularly toward Emmeline. He spoils her. If she dislikes someone, she’ll tell Abel, and that person is done for. I even have to cater to her wishes!”

Adam furrowed his brow. “That’s true. I’ve witnessed Abel’s protectiveness toward her. He would go to great lengths to feed her bit by bit during meals if he can.”

“Exactly!” Alana agreed fervently. “No one dares to oppose her.”

He shared, “On our first day here, my son and I offended Emmeline. Abel almost punched me, and Emmeline remained silent and distant during dinner. It made me incredibly uncomfortable! Now that you’ve shed light on this, I understand how troublesome it is.”

She acknowledged, “Yes, even though I want to care for Zahn, I can’t make any promises!”

He furrowed his brow. “I grasp the situation now. I’ll talk to Abel and ensure we don’t give. Emmeline too much control. The wife should make the final decision!”
