Adam sneered, âDidnât you consider this when you helped me? Do you feel sorry for him now?â
Alana said, âThatâs not what we agreed on. All I was hoping for was your help in getting rid of Emmeline, and you want her to be your sister-in-law. We didnât decide we would directly go after Abel.â
Adam rebutted, âMy target has always been Abel. Emmeline is just a tool to deal with him.â
âAdam, I wonât agree with you completely targeting Abel, but I can accept Abel being impacted slightly to deal with Emmeline,â Alana said.
Adam snorted, âDo you have the final say? Remember that I have a let of your leverage with me. You better shut your mouth or bear the consequences!â
Alana was at a loss for words.
Indeed, I had way too much leverage in this ruthless manâs hands.
Alana could not help but inhale a breath of cold air.
âAdditionally, I was informed by my subordinates that a perpetrator in the Brookwater Wellness Center incident had been apprehended,â Adam continued.
Alana exclaimed, âNo, thatâs not possible! Iâm doomed if word of this incident spreads! There have to be no more loopholes since everyone accepts the paternity test results! According to what Iâve heard, the nurseâs name is Kendra Walsh. She was there when Emmeline gave birth. Itâs just a coincidence that she was transferred to Struyria Hospital the next day and later married a doctor.â
âKendra Walsh?â
Alanaâs complexion turned pale when she heard the name.
Timothy was taken in by Kendra the last time he ran away from home. Could this woman happen to be Kendra? The fact that they share the same name canât just be a coincidence, right?
I doubt itâs a coincidence. She must be the same Kendra. It makes sense why she kept asking me odd questions. Now that Iâve thought about it, I wonder if Kendra is suspecting me?
Alana almost wet her pants due to her fear, Her hands were trembling while holding her phone. She pleaded, âAdam, please help me get rid of Kendra. She has to die. I canât keep her around!â
Adam mocked, âSo the mastermind behind all of this wants to take another life?â
Alana was at a loss for words and had a horrifyingly pale complexion. Her hands and feet felt cold, and she kept saying, âOnce Kendra disappears, Iâll be fine. Adam, I need your help. Iâll follow everything you say. Rest assured, I will keep my mouth shut about all your affairs.â
Adam sneered, âThatâs nice. Remember, Iâll make sure you die a horrible death if you betray me.â
Alana remained silent while trembling in terror. She promised, âI know, Iâll remember this Adam.â
Adam was content, he said, âAlright. About that woman, Iâll find someone to take care of her.â
After he finished the call with Alana, Adam put down his phone and massaged the bridge of his nose.
He yelled, âServant!â
The door was pushed open, and his assistant entered the room. He asked, âMr. Ryker, what can I do for you?â
Look for Kendra from the Brookwater Wellness Center andâ¦â
Adam made a throat-slitting gesture/
The assistant replied, âYes, Mr. Ryker.â
Adam continued, âBesides that, book me a flight ticket. I need to meet with Abelâs overseas business partners.â
âYes, Mr. Ryker!â
Vice President Bennett of the Global Department of Ryker Group knocked on the CEOâs door four days later.
âCome in,â Abelâs cold voice was heard from the room.
Even though his arm was still bandaged, Abel had been back at work for three days.
Vice President Bennett bowed slightly and said solemnly, âMr. Ryker, Iâve got some bad news.â
Abel said as he looked up from the paperwork with a calm expression in his dark eyes, âWhat is it? Just shoot!â
âSome of our regular foreign business partners abruptly announced they would be ceasing operations.â
For some time, Abel remained silent. Then, all of a sudden, he raised an eyebrow and asked, âWhat is their reason?â
Vice President Bennett explained, They say itâs because of the epidemic, but according to my investigation, the situation isnât that serious.â
Abel put down his pen and replied, âNo matter the reason, we need them to get back to work as soon as possible. I urgently need the money, we couldnât postpone this quarterâs receivables.â
Vice President Bennett said, âMr. Ryker, I understand. Iâll take care of it immediately.â
Abel said, âWait, book me a flight tieket now. I want to personally deal with this!â
