Benjamin and Waylon quickly opened the door to the walkâin closet. Indeed, it was full of luxurious, high- end womenâs clothing.
Abel picked up a dress and checked the size. Instantly, his eyes filled with tears, and he said, âThis is Emmaâs size!â
Butâ¦
âThat damn Palace Lord had bought her so many clothes!â
Abel was angry and jealous.
Even though my love is a victim, Iâm still very jealous of that man! Emma is mine! What right did that guy show her affection?
Abel swore, âWhen I find him, Iâll beat him so badly that heâll lose all of his teeth!â
Benjamin said, âWhere should we look now? Obviously, they have fled.â
have to Waylon disagreed and said, âHow could they get away so quickly? That should not be possible, right?â
âDoes this place have other ways out?â Abel and Benjamin asked simultaneously.
Waylon said, âLetâs go back to Section G and look for the way out.â
Sirens could be heard everywhere. Numerous police officers had surrounded the area.
Waylon said, âLetâs withdraw for now. We canât deal with the police, itâs a waste of time.â
âRight,â Abel and Benjamin agreed.
The mercenaries immediately withdrew after Waylon informed them to do so.
Adam led the group out of the Imperial Palace and drove for about an hour before stopping in a village.
The village was tucked away in an idyllic location, with mountains on one side and water on the other.
They walked through the village and headed up the mountain. Adam owned a small estate nearby. As the saying goes, a sly individual has more than one plan to fall back on, and Adam had truly accomplished that.
âThere shouldnât be any problems for now!â
Adam put Emmeline on the couch and warned his bodyguards, âBut you mustnât let your guard down!â
âRoger that, Mr. Anthony.â
âWhy do they call you Mr. Anthony, Mr. Adam?â Evelyn asked.
Adam did not answer. Instead, he quickly smashed her in the face. Adam growled, âShut up! You have to call me the same thing that they do.â
âBut why?â
The slap made Evelynâs eyes well up with tears.
Adam cast a glance at Emmeline, who remained unconscious, then glared at Evelyn and scolded, âWhy the hell do you have so many questions? Just call me by the name I told you to use. Behave yourself if you want to stay alive!â
Evelyn covered her swollen cheeks and replied, âOkay, I get it now.â
Adamâs expression turned gloomy, and he said, âOne more thing! When Emmeline wakes up later, donât make a sound. If you need to speak, do it somewhere else!â
âYes, Mr. Aâ¦no, I mean Mr. Anthony.â.
Emmeline awoke when Adam was done giving instructions. She groggily raised her hand to touch the back of her neck and murmured, âOuch! It hurts!â
Adam crouched down in front of the sofa and apologized, âEmma, Iâm sorry! I applied too much force because I was rushing. Why donât you strike me back right now?â
He grabbed Emmelineâs hand and gave himself two gentle slaps without waiting for her response. He said, âCan you stop being mad at me and blame me for what happened?â
Emmeline drew her hand back and reclined on the sofa.
This Anthonyâ is a real pervert!
In addition to frightening Emmeline, Adamâs behavior also gave Evelyn the chills.
When did the unruly and ruthless Mr. Adam become servile? Alas, Emmeline seems to be a real temptress. Every man who had seen her couldnât help but fall in love with her.
Adam said softly, âItâs fine, as long as you donât blame me. Iâll ask the maid to make you some food.â
âIâm not hungry,â Emmeline said coldly.
Adam said, âThen Iâll have the maid make some food for you ahead of time.â
Maid? Where can I find a maid who could cook here?
Adam suddenly realized that in their rush to get away, he had forgotten to bring a maid with him. Adam pointed at Evelyn and commanded, âYou! Go downstairs and prepare the ingredients!â
Evelyn dared not speak and mouthed, âMe? Why me?â
Adam glared at her fiercely and made a throatâslitting gesture.
âHiss!â
Evelyn gasped. She feared Adam would slit her throat.
Adam ordered one of the bodyguards, âYou go with her and get the ingredients ready.â
âYes, Mr. Anthony.â
Adam turned around and spoke softly to Emmeline, âEmma, let me carry you upstairs.â Emmeline refused, saying, âI can walk by myself.â
Emmeline had stood up from the couch, and she was about to take her first step.
Adam obstructed her on purpose.
Unable to stop herself, Emmeline stumbled right into Adamâs arms.
