Let her go!â said Adam in a grumpy voice, âI donât want to see her.â
The bodyguard said, âMs. Alana can help you make cocktails.â
Adam thought for a moment. He was feeling depressed, and having someone willing to be scolded was not a bad thing.
âLet her come in!â said Adam in a low and cold voice with a hint of a sneer.
Alana is such a cheap woman! She missed out on the chance to be with Abel!
The bodyguard allowed Alana to enter the room.
Adam sat on the sofa, crossing his legs.
He was tall with long legs, and when he crossed them, he exuded an aura of arrogance and dominance.
He had removed his suit jacket, and his white shirt was unbuttoned, revealing his toned, tanned chest.
Alana could not help but swallow her saliva. She knelt before Adam and slid her hand into his shirt, caressing his muscular chest.
Adam kicked her away with one foot. âGet away! How dare someone like you try to seduce me!â
Alana fell to the ground but quickly got up and leaned seductively on Adamâs knee.
âMr. Adam, you are venting your anger on innocent people. Who made you so angry?â
âItâs Abel!â Adam took a sip of wine and said fiercely, âI really canât understand why God favors him so much. He has the Ryker Group, Emmeline, and four sons, andâ¦â
He wanted to say that Abel pointed a toy gun at his head, but be thought about it and stopped talking.
He could not stand to have a woman like Alana tease him as the lord of the imperial palace.
If this humiliating incident were to become known to others, it would be a great shame.
âThe most important is that Abel has Emmeline,â Alana said, âWith Emmeline, he seems to have everything!
âThatâs right!â
Adamâs eyes were cold, âEmmeline, itâs all because of Emmeline. What makes Abel worthy of such an amazing woman? Why canât I have her?â
âYou also like Emmeline?â Alana knelt on the carpet, starting to mix drinks while asking.
âA woman like Emmeline, who wouldnât like her?â Adam snorted, âAny average man would find her attractive, and I am certainly no different!â
âThen, why donât you find a way to make her yours?â
Adam thought to himself that he had already thought about it and even made a big move, but he still lost to Abel.
âWhat good ideas do you have?â Adam took the drink Alana had mixed.
âIâm just a woman. What good ideas could I have?â Alana smiled slyly, I know that if persuasion doesnât work, you must get it by force.â
Adam narrowed his eyes. Could it be that I have to kill Abel?
In the past, he had never considered killing Abel with open or secret means. After all, they were cousins with blood ties.
But now it seemed that Abel had taken away all his opportunities, leaving him feeling suffocated and oppressed.
Even Oscar had pressured him today, forbidding him from having any contact with the Imperial Palace to avoid affecting the development of the Ryker family.
If Oscar found out that Iâm the lord of the Imperial Palace, wouldnât I be skinned alive? Wouldnât I have to make a clean break with the palace immediately?
The Ryker family is engaged in a legitimate business. How could they be related to the Imperial Palace?
âAbel!â Adam crushed the wine glass and said, âEither you die, or I die!â
The wine glass shattered, and the wine splashed all over Alana.
She was startled and fell to the floor, asking, âMr. Adam, do you have any ideas?â
âWell,â Adam nodded fiercely, âIn a few days, it will be the on-site matchmaking meeting for Adrienâs marriage, and I will take the opportunity to get rid of him!â
Alana took a deep breath.
Dees Adam want to get rid of Abel?
Although she could not bear to let it happen, she greatly hated Abel.
He was the one to blame for her permanently disabled left hand!
âAdrien is getting married?â Alana asked, âWhere will it take place?â
