Chapter 257 I’ll Make Her Mine
Emmeline flinched slightly and clutched at the hem of her nightgown upon hearing that voice.
“Miss, I think the palace lord is back,” Summer said in a low, shaky voice.
“What should I do?” Emmeline seemed a little frightened as well.
“Well, you should open the door,” Summer replied.
“I can’t do that!” Emmeline shouted in the direction of the door next, “I don’t want to see you! I’m tired!I’m going to sleep now!”
“You don’t have a say in that! You’re just one of the many products that belong to the Imperial Palace!”Adam retorted scornfully.
Emmeline shouted back at him, “Don’t try to push me! Otherwise, I’ll find ways to end my life right now!”
“Don’t you dare do that!” Adam threatened, “If you try to kill yourself, I’ll abduct all three of your sonsnext!”
Emmeline froze upon hearing the man’s words.
He already knows that I have three kids!
How did he find out about this in such a short amount of time?!
“Who are you?” Emmeline raged, “What have I ever done to you to deserve all this?!”
Adam laughed cynically. “Let’s just say that luck hasn’t been on your side since you’ve run into me.”
Emmeline stomped toward the door and yanked it open. Her eyes were burning with rage as she fixeda murderous glare at the man.
“That’s more like it!” Adam reached out to caress Emmeline’s cheek, but the lady took a step back andavoided his touch.
“Hahaha!” Adam laughed. Then, he clapped his hands twice.
Another maid came running down the corridor to his side. “What can I do for you, Sir?”
“Bring some food and drinks to this room. I was so busy talking to those two brats that I forgot to havedinner earlier.” Adam gave the maid an instruction.
“Understood.” The maid hurried away to pass on the message.
For a brief moment, Adam stood there as he slowly observed Emmeline’s face. She was glowing withso much beauty and radiance. The thought of Abel having someone like Emmeline by his side filledAdam with great indignation.
Abel has control over the Ryker Group. Isn’t it unfair if he also gets to keep such a ravishing beauty byhis side?
He has almost everything he wants whereas I have to watch him bask in his glory?!
No! No! No!
I don’t even plan on giving Emmeline to Adrien anymore. If I could ensure the success of the CanaryProject this time, I’d be able to give Abel a critical hit. After that, I’m planning to make Emmeline mine.
As for those three kids, I’ll just have to make them vanish from the face of the earth. They are not mychildren, after all.
Adrien, that useless coward, should just stay out of this and watch how we play this game from thesidelines.
A short while later, the maid returned with several dishes and a bottle of wine on a serving cart.Emmeline narrowed her eyes as she spotted some toothpicks stored in a container.
Though toothpicks are not as sturdy as steel needles, I can still use them to protect myself when thesituation calls for them.
Emmeline went up to the cart and pretended to help the maid set up the table. Then, she stealthily tooka few toothpicks and held them firmly in her hand.
Soon, Adam invited Emmeline to take a seat at the dining table. Then, he offered her some wine.
“I enjoy drinking wine a lot. You should have some too.”novelbin
Emmeline picked up the wineglass and took a sip.
I have no interest in keeping this scary man company as he enjoys his wine. I just want to make himleave as soon as possible.
“We have a variety of exotic, rare liquor stored in our cellar.” Adam suggested, “If you’re interested tosee them, I can bring you there and show you around.”
“I’m not interested,” Emmeline replied expressionlessly.
Adam had a faint smile on his face. “I guess we’re different in that sense. I’m interested in the varioustypes of delicious liquor. Also, I’m intrigued by beautiful, feisty women.”
Adam lifted his hand and reached for Emmeline’s face again.
Emmeline quickly pushed his hand away. However, there was very little strength in her hand as theeffects of the Vampire Dust had yet to wear off. She hardly moved Adam’s hand despite her efforts.
“Hahaha!” Adam gave a laugh and grabbed Emmeline’s wrist. Then, he planted a kiss on the back ofher hand.
Emmeline took a piece of tissue and began rubbing it on the spot to wipe it clean.
