âBut Mr. Adrien,â Luca frowned, âI know you miss Ms. Louise, but donât go jumping to conclusions about Emmett. Heâs Emmett, not Emmeline.â
âYou blockhead!â Adrien jumped up and gave him a smack on the head. âEmmett, Emmett, doesnât it sound a lot like Emmeline?â
âMr. Adrien, you canât just assume that Emmett is Emmeline just because their names are similar,â
Luca rubbed his head. âThere are plenty of people with similar names!â
âEmma has admitted it to me!â Adrien said. âWhy are you still arguing with me?â
Luca was stunned for a moment, then his face lit up. âMr. Adrien, has Emmett admitted to being Ms.
Louise? So sheâs not dead?â
âThatâs right!â Adrien said. âBut she says that Abel was drugged with some kind of forgetfulness potion and doesnât feel anything for her anymore. Sheâs afraid to reveal her true identity, in case Abel rejects her.â
âItâs not a forgetfulness potion,â Luca said. âItâs Worryfree, and I personally fed it to Mr. Abel.â
âYou idiot!â Adrien jumped up again and slapped him. âYou dare to use such a low trick?â
âI didnât know it was that kind of drug at the time,â Luca rubbed his head, feeling wronged. âI just wanted to save Mr. Abel.â
âIâve heard Emmaâs explanation,â Adrien sighed. âItâs not your fault.â
âSo what should we do now?â Adrien asked, eager for an answer. âYou know everything.â
âWhat should we do?â Adrien waited eagerly for a response. âOf course, we should help them. We should help them get together. Do you want to keep your Ms. Louise all to yourself?â
âAbsolutely not!â Luca replied firmly. âRegardless of whether Mr. Abel regains his feelings or not, Ms.
Louise is our young mistress. No one can covet her.â
âThatâs settled then!â Adrien said. âWe need to figure out a way to bring them together and let true love prevail.â
âBut how do we bring them together?â Luca frowned again. âWhenever we mention Emmeline to Mr.
Abel, he shows no interest and doesnât even want to talk about it. He wonât even want to see her.â
âThatâs not necessarily true,â Adrien said. âWe can try a different approach.â
âA different approach?â Luca asked. âWhat approach and how?â
âCome here, and Iâll tell you,â Adrien waved Luca over.
Luca leaned in to listen.
Adrien whispered in his ear for a while.
âIs that even possible?â Luca looked confused.
âHow come it wonât work?â Adrien said. âThis way, we can test how much Abel really cares about Emma, and also keep Emmaâs identity hidden. Itâs a win-win situation.â
âMaybe we can give it a try,â Luca said.
âGood,â Adrien said. âThe first thing we need to do is to get Emmaâs old clothes. The sexy ones that she used to wear all the time to tease Abel.â
âWellâ¦â This idea caught Luca off guard.
After thinking for a moment, it wasnât a big deal. Didnât Kendra bring Emmaâs clothes back last night?
He could ask her for help.
âOkay then,â Luca nodded.
âLetâs get moving then!â Adrien said. âAs soon as you get the clothes, contact me right away. Iâll deal with Abel for now.â
âNo problem, Mr. Adrien,â Luca said, thinking that Adrien was actually a pretty decent guy.
Luca quickly grabbed the car keys and headed towards the Precipice mansion.
Adrien walked into Abelâs office and caught Abelâs attention with his panda eyes.
âAdrien?â Abel stood up from his desk chair. âWhat happened to your eyes? Who did this to you?â
âThat damn Lizbeth,â Adrien said.
âLizbeth?â Abel exclaimed, âThatâs impossible. Lizbeth is just a little girl. How could she have punched you with such force?â
Emmeline, who had been gazing out the window, turned around at the mention of Adrienâs name. She was taken aback to see him with a black eye. He had seemed perfectly fine just a moment ago.
