Chapter 247: Chapter 247

Emmeline stopped next to the door of the passenger seat.

As the car window rolled down, she could see a man, who had a black mask over his face, sitting inside the car. She sensed a dangerous aura from the man the instant their eyes met.

Emmeline was briefly stunned. “You…..”

Just then, she caught a whiff of a strange scent and started feeling dizzy. As she began to lose consciousness, she felt someone pushed her into the car. Then, everything turned dark.

An hour later, Emmeline was moved into a room on the highest level of Section G inside the Imperial Palace. Adam used the place as his living space and workspace simultaneously.

As she slowly woke up, Emmeline opened her eyes and saw the thin bed curtains hanging above her.

She looked around and found herself lying on a big, round bed. Then, she noticed that she was not wearing the outfit she had picked out for the day. Instead, she was wearing a sexy, sheer nightgown.

Emmeline let out a yelp in horror. She quickly pulled on the blanket and covered her voluptuous form.

Where am I? What happened to my clothes?

She tried to sit up and move out of the bed next. However, no matter how hard she tried, Emmeline eouldn’t muster any strength in her body. Then, a thought occurred to her.

Was it Vampire Dust?

Only the members of the Adelmar family knew how to make Vampire seldom produced the drug since it was often used for unscrupulous purposes.

Since a person who had taken the drug would lose strength in their body, people so that they could do whatever they want to their victims.

Emmeline had a hunch that she was drugged with Vampire Dust.

Who was it that had used that drug to subdue me? Also, how did they make Vampire Dust?

Emmeline recalled the man with the black mask. She remembered hearing bodyguard shoved her into the car before she passed out.

Emmeline was seething as she yelled menacingly, “Get out here, you b*stard!”

Sadly, her voice came out soft despite her efforts to sound angry and hostile.

A brief moment later, the man with the mask slowly walked over to the bed and gazed down at Emmeline. He was wearing comfortable casual clothes as he puffed on a cigar. The man’s figure and how he carried himself reminded Emmeline of Adam.

“Who are you? Why are you doing this to me?”

“Tsk tsk.” Adam parted the bed curtains and sat on the edge of the bed, He kept his gaze on Emmeline the entire time.

“You probably have no idea how seductive you sound under the influence of the Vampire Dust, especially when you get angry.”

Adam spoke in a low, deep voice so that Emmeline wouldn’t recognize him.

Emmeline flushed scarlet in embarrassment upon hearing his words.

I hate to admit it, but he’s right. Putting that aside, I need to find out more about what this guy wants.

Emmeline gave a cough and tried to steady her voice. “Who are you? Why are you doing this to me?”

“I should be asking you those questions,” Adam snickered.

“I don’t understand.” Emmeline frowned slightly.

“Look at you.” Adam reached out and brushed a finger softly against Emmeline’s cheek. “That feisty yet adorable expression on your face is so inviting. It almost feels like you’re trying to seduce me.”

Emmeline could feel her face burning as she felt extremely humiliated.

He’s probably right. However, it’s all because of the effects of the Vampire Dust! I’m not doing it on purpose!

“Just tell me who you are and why are you keeping me here?” Emmeline tried to maintain an expressionless face and stay still this time.

“Do you really want to know?” Adam fixed her with a lustful gaze.

Emmeline felt as though his gaze was about to bore into her. She couldn’t help but nudge further away from Adam.

“Sh*t!” Adam cursed. “You look ravishing even when you try to move away from me.”

“I just want to know why you’ve brought me here. Where am I? What are you planning to do to me?!”

Suddenly, Adam clapped loudly twice.

Two Natryan maids came in through the door. “What can we get for you, Sir?”
