âWhy arenât you admitting it? You practically live in the Imperial Palace, and your member is overused and shriveled by now, Stop lying to Grandfather. Heâs blaming me for not marrying you!â
Adrien subconsciously reached between his legs.
âIâm still very healthy! Why must you insult me like this, Emma?â
âYou should stop pretending,â Emmeline said. âYou want me to marry you? Sure, but youâll have to prove to me you can perform!â
âIâ¦â Adrien was thoroughly humiliated. âThis isnât the end of it, Emmeline!â
âOh, of course itâs not. Iâll meet you tomorrow so you can prove youâre still able!â
âDealâ Adrien was furious âIf Iâm really impotent, I wonât marry anyone for the rest of my life!â
âYou said that yourself.â Emmeline sat down on her chair. âItâs a promise then. Find a time and place tomorrow and give me a call.â
âGrandfather, weâll let this matter rest for now. When I prove to her that Iâm still a man, you can set a date for our marriage. If she wants to be convinced before she marries me, Iâll convince her alright!â
âFine then,â Oscar said sullenly. âYouâd better not humiliate the Ryker family!â
Weâll see about that, Emmeline!
Adrien thought After a fiery exchange, Oscar finally yielded. The marriage between Emmeline and Adrien would be put to rest for now.
The remaining issue on the agenda was Abel and Alanaâs marriage.
Abel did not know what Emmeline was thinking.
He wondered how Emmeline knew that Adrien was impotent, even though Emmeline hated him and had never made out with him before.
Who could have told her?
While Abel was deep in thought, Oscar turned his gaze at him.
After taking a sip of water from his glass, Oscar continued speaking.
âNext, weâll discuss Abelâs problem.â
Silence returned to the room.
âIâve already mentioned why Abel needs to marry Alana, so I wonât repeat myself. Next, Abel has to choose a date to marry Alana!â
âAbel!â Alana cried out blissfully.
Abel stood up abruptly. âI donât agree with it, Grandfather.â
Oscar raised his eyebrows. âYou donât agree? How dare you!â
âThereâs nothing I wouldnât dare to do,â Abel said coldly. âI donât agree with the marriage, so Iâm not doing it.â
âAbel.â Alana tugged his sleeve. âDonât say that. Grandfather will be angry.â
Abel tossed her hand away without even looking at her.
âDo you think I canât control you?â Oscar said coldly âI never thought that. If it comes to it, Iâll return to Waverly, and Iâll hand everything under my control to Adam iâll leave the Ryker Group!â
Abel shot a resentful glance at Adam.
Heh, have I already achieved my goal? Youâre amazing, Alana!
Landen and his wife seemed excited. This is good news! Why canât it happen faster?
On the other hand, Lewis and Rosaline were shocked. âAbel! What did you just say?â
âI mean what I say,â Abel said. âIf Grandfather wants to hold me hostage using Ryker Group, Iâll willingly leave the company.
âAbel!â Oscar was furious. âHow could you be so short-sighted? All the millions and the years Iâve spent on you are all wasted!â
âI remember what you taught me, Grandfather.â Abel seemed determined. âOne should stick to their principles and not let anyone else hold them hostage!â
âYouâ¦â Oscar was about to blow his top.
âI know youâve spent a lot of effort grooming me to be the next CEO of Ryker Group, and I would willingly give my life to Ryker Group. However, if you insist on holding me hostage, acceding to your request will violate my personal principles. I think itâs better for me to leave Ryker Group.â
