Abel was overjoyed and immediately found a craftsman on the spot to cut off a corner of the jade and carve it into a bracelet.
He engraved the words âEmmeline Louiseâ in tiny letters inside the bracelet, but Emmeline had never noticed them before.
She had never taken off the bracelet since she put it on.
After polishing the bracelet that evening, Abel wrapped it up and put it in his pocket before returning to the shabby hotel.
His chauffeur, Luca, who was running errands with him for the first time, had already fallen asleep in the hotel.
The street was dark, and Abel suddenly felt two shadows following him from behindâ¦
Abel shivered and woke up from his daydream.
His forehead was now covered in sweat.
Upon noticing that, Emmeline touched his forehead and asked, âAbel, whatâs wrong? You donât look well!â
âItâs nothing.â Abel weakly smiled. âMr. Chesterâs militaryâgrade Macallan was too strong, and it got to me.
âEveryone is tired today. We have classes to attend tomorrow, so letâs rest here for the night,â Vernon said.
After bidding farewell to Brandon, Abel returned home with Emmeline to the backyard of the Ryker Group.
He felt a bit uneasy knowing that Adam was still at home, As the car turned into the compound, Abel saw Adam and his son playing around with the Ford Focus.
Adam said, âZahn, at least you know how to start the engine. Get in and give it a try!â
With that, Zahn unlocked the car, and the next moment, the hazard lights flashed as the doors unlocked.
Zahn then got into the driverâs seat.
Abel honked the horn twice and jumped out of the car, shouting, âWhat are you doing. Zalın?â
âAbel, youâre back?â Adam continued, Tm letting Zahn try it out.â
âThis car belongs to Emma. Who gave you permission to touch it?â Abel said angrily.
Adam was displeased after hearing that and responded, âAbel, you little brat, you better know your limits!â
âYou came here looking for trouble!â Abel furrowed his brows and grabbed Adamâs collar.
He had been suppressing his anger toward Adam all day!
Adam, feeling that he had the upper hand, provocatively raised an eyebrow. âWhy donât try hitting me?â
Seeing that, Abel pushed him away with gritted teeth, âYou better control yourself. I donât feel like dealing with you right now!â
After that, the four of them went upstairs, and Abel asked Zahn, âHowâs driving school going?â
âIt went well. The instructor said that people like me arenât fit for school, but Iâm a fast learner when it comes to driving!â Zahnâs face lit up as he replied..
âHave you guys had dinner?â Abel asked in a muffled voice.
Zahn shook his head, and Abel immediately turned his gaze to Adam. âItâs already ten oâclock. Donât tell me you two havenât had dinner yet!â
âWe have been waiting for you,â Adam grumbled. âYou only think about yourself!â
âDidnât I tell you that I couldnât come back in time?â Abel suppressed his anger.
âYou guys ate outside too, didnât you?â Adam glanced at Emmeline.
âWhat are you implying? I have to come back and pick you up so we can go out and eat together?â
Abel felt like he was about to explode. âAdam, arenât you a grown man?â
Iâm not familiar with this place,â Adam continued to grumble. âI donât know where to eat, and besides, it would cost me money.â
Abel laughed at him in frustration and pointed to the kitchen. âThe fridge is full of ingredients; you can at least cook for yourself!â
âYour sisterâinâlaw always cooks at home. Adam pouted. âI donât know how!â
Abel was so upset that he took out three hundred and tossed it to Zahn. He waved his hand and said.
âTake your dad out for dinner. You can go to whichever restaurant you like. After that, take a taxi back to the hotel. Remember, itâs Sarova Hotel!â
âBut Abel, Adam said, âAfter I leave tomorrow, Zahn will stay here. You canât always let him live and eat outside, right?â
âThe Human Resources Department has already arranged it,â Abel said. âYou donât need to worry about this. Starting tomorrow, Zahn will live in the staff dormitory and eat at the staff canteen!â
âHow can that be?â Adam raised his voice. âHow can he handle it without anyone taking care of him?â
âIs he still a young child?â Abel raised an eyebrow. âDidnât I go through the same thing?â
âWellâ¦â Adam finally nodded. âThen, how much will Zahnâs salary be?â
âHe hasnât started working yet.â Abel held back his temper. âI paid for his driving school fees myself.
Have you seen any company paying for a chauffeurâs driverâs license?â
âArenât you the big boss?â Adam frowned. âWe are commoners while you are a public figure, and you have money!â
âAdam!â Abel scoffed. âI work hard to run the company instead of waiting for money to fall. from the sky!
If I donât work hard for a day, the company could go bankrupt. You wonât lose anything if the company goes bankrupt, but 1, Abel, will owe the country millions!*
âThatâs out of my control. Adam rolled his eyes. âAnyway, you canât give Zahn a low salary. Otherwise, how am I going to explain it to your sisterâinâlaw when I get home?â
Hearing that made Abel feel like he was going to explode, and he quickly waved his hand. again.
âZahn, quickly take your dad for dinner. The shops will close soon if youâre late.â
