The bodyguard did not say anything but opened the ornately carved wooden door behind him.
Alana stepped inside.
The room was spacious, and the furnishings were extravagant.
However, the atmosphere was tense, and Alana did not see anyone inside.
Alana was wondering what was going on when a hand grabbed her neck from behind.
âAh!â Alana yelped in surprise, but the hand prevented her from making any more noises.
âDo you know why I let you come in here?â Adamâs hoarse voice was heard from behind.
Alana shuddered. She shook her head while grasping Adamâs hand.
Her face was turning purple, and her eyes were filled with panic.
âBecause want you to know the consequences of disturbing me!â
Alana blinked hard and forcedâa sound from her throat.
Adam tossed her on the floor and stepped on her face. âWhy did you look for me?â
âCough cough! Cough cough!â Alana coughed hard a few times and clung onto Adamâs shoe. âI need you to help me to stop Adrien from going to the hospital.â
Adam narrowed his gaze. âWhat do you mean?â
Alana briefly explained the situation to him.
Adam smirked. âHeh. So the three whelps belong to Abel.â
âThatâs right,â Alana said, âBut I donât want him to find out. What will I do if he ends up marrying Emmeline?â
âHow do you want me to help you?â Adam thought it was very interesting.
Maybe he could use Alana to trigger Abelâs downfall.
Abel snatched the position of the CEO of Ryker Group from him and humiliated him in front of the whole family!
âFind some way to stop Adrien from going to the hospital.â Alana got up from the floor and leaned coyly on Adamâs chest. âI cannot let the truth be exposed.â
âYou want the child to die?â Adam smirked. âYouâre a heartless one!â
âIf he dies, tough luck,â Alana said, âBut donât forget that theyâll check the boyâs uncles for a match too.
Iâll think of something when itâs Abelâs turn.â
âYouâre saying that they might ask me for my bone marrow,â Adam said with a smirk.
âYou are the boyâs uncle. Your parents will definitely ask you to go to the hospital.â
âIf they donât find a match with me, thereâs also Abel. Does it make sense if the boyâs uncle is compatible?â
âItâs not entirely impossible. Itâs at least more plausible than Adrien being incompatible.â
âThatâs easy,â Adam said. âThe Imperial Palace is Adrienâs regular haunt. Iâll get someone to do something to him.â
In the meantime, Abel and his bodyguards arrived at the Fragrant Court of the Imperial Palace.
âAccording to investigations, Adrien is inside here,â Luca said.
Bang! The door was kicked open.
âAhh! Who is it?â A woman inside shrieked in fear.
âI know youâre inside, Adrien! Come out here right now!â Abel roared angrily.
Adrien was making out with two women in the bedroom. He was shocked when he heard Abelâs voice.
He said lazily, âAbel, Iâm not interested in being the CEO of Ryker Group. Canât you just let me be?â
âI can let you be, but have you ever spared a thought for Emmeline and Hesperus?â
âEmmeline ignores me. Isnât Hesperus recovering? Why do I care about him?â Adrien said.
âHis blood disorder was triggered, and he needs your bone marrow to survive. Do you understand now?â Abel roared.
Silence permeated the room for a few seconds before Adrien jumped out of the bed buck-naked.
âWhat did you just say, Abel? Say that again?â
Abel grabbed his arm and roared, âIâll give you one minute to dress up. After that, youâll go to the hospital with me!â
âYes, yes,â Adrien shuddered and said. âIâll get dressed up now.â
The two women hugged Adrien and said coyly, âAdrien, didnât you promise youâll make out with us for two days and two nights? Itâs not even a day yet!â
