âHahaha!â Despite Emmelineâs insult, Adam was not angry, instead, he laughed out loud.
âEmmeline Louise, your husband had hired mercenaries and ruined my Imperial Palace, and now, Waylon has bought the place for you. I canât just allow myself to be bullied, right? I can only find compensation from you. I know both Abel Ryker and Waylon Adelmar adore you, so I want them to experience what it feels like to have their darling ruined! Be forewarned, Iâm not going to show you any mercy!
Adam put his old-fashioned mobile phone away and crossed his legs. He was not going to reply to Emmelineâs messages for now.
He wanted Emmeline to feel anxiety and despair.
The mere thought of Emmeline burning with anxiety made him happy.
Emmeline stared at her phone and waited for a reply, but she did not get one.
She called the phone and found that the number was not in service.
Just like what she was told, the messages were sent from a pseudo base station.
âB*stard!â Emmeline cursed. âAre you purposely keeping me in suspense?â
In any case, it was good news that âAnthony Greenâ contacted her.
No matter what that bâstard planned. Emmeline would think of some way to get the antidote from him.
âBut what should I do now?â Emmeline mumbled to herself while pinching the bridge of her nose.
She did not know Anthonyâs whereabouts, and she could not seek him out proactively.
If thatâs the case, I wonât do anything then! Letâs see whoâs the more patient one!
The next day, Emmeline was in the CEOâs office of Ryker Group.
Her phone vibrated, and she reflexively picked the phone up.
It was indeed a message. However, the message was from an unknown number. It was different from yesterday.
She read the message. âIf you want the antidote, come to Mr. Green.â
Emmeline thought for a while and sent her reply. âTell me the place and time, you b*stard.â
âIt hurts when you call me a b*stard. I still like it when you call me Mr. Green.â
âEnough nonsense. Tell me the place to meet!â
Adam sent a reply. âPleasure Parlor.â
Pleasure Parlor? Emmeline narrowed her gaze.
It was an entertainment establishment in Struyria, though it was a lot smaller than the Imperial Palace.
She had never been there before, but she had heard that the place was a hotbed of underground activity. including prostitution, illegal gambling, and drug dealing.
Adam waited for a while but did not receive a reply from Emmeline. âAre you chicken?â
Emmeline smirked. âYouâre chicken!â She replied.
When Adam read the message, he smirked and took a puff of his cigarette.
Thatâs the way. I like it when youâre feisty, He sent a reply. Tll be waiting for you.â
Before Emmeline could reply, she received another message. âCome alone. If I find another person with you, you can tell Abel to forget about the antidote!â
Emmeline frowned hard before sending her reply. âOkay!â
âThereâs no time like the present. Come over now. I miss you.â
Emmeline snorted disdainfully. âGet a life!â
She put her phone away, took her handbag, and stood up.
Anthony wants me to go over there now. Obviously, heâs not giving me any time to plan.
Thatâs no big deal! Iâll just have to take him head-on!
She picked up her car keys and walked out of the CEOâs office.
Luca quickly followed behind her. âMs. Louise, where are you going?â
âYou donât have to follow me. I have something to do,â Emmeline said.
âI canât leave you alone. Even if Mr. Abel doesnât blame me for neglecting you, Mr. Waylon would⦠and heâs a monster when heâs angry,â Luca said.
Emmeline knew how nasty Waylonâs mouth could get, but she had no choice but to go alone.
As Anthony said, Abel would not get the antidote if anyone went along with her.
The antidote was more important than Lucaâs feelings.
Ignoring Luca, she pressed her thumb on the CEOâs exclusive elevator and entered it.
Luca tried to go in, but the doors were closed.
He could only run toward the normal elevators.
Emmeline arrived at the basement parking lot and went into the car..
She did not drive Abelâs Rolls-Royce Phantom. Instead, she took the Rolls-Royce Wraith.
By the time Luca arrived at the parking lot, the Wraith had already sped away.
