Sam standing behind the control panel handed a damp cloth to Emmeline. She took it and wiped her hands before tossing it into the trash bin.
Ysabel’s face blushed, and she stammered, “Mr. Adam knows that I had a conflict with you, so he brought me here to apologize. He said if you don’t forgive me, he’ll send me away and won’t let me follow him anymore.”
Emmeline chuckled slightly, surprised by Adam’s “heroic” charm.
“Emma,” Adam said sternly, “I just heard about this from Ysabel. When I heard it, I was furious. How dare she bother my Emma? She does not value her life!” I wouldn’t even dare to provoke you!
“Mr. Adam,” Ysabel tugged at his shirt collar with a hint of grievance, “I already explained that Sonia instigated me last time. Please ask Emma to forgive me. Don’t make me leave you. You’re the only hero in my heart. If you don’t let me be with you, I’ll be utterly devastated. It’s better to die!”
“Then apologize to Emma,” Adam said coldly, “otherwise, you won’t find any peace!”
Honestly, this girl dares to mess with the boss!
Ysabel’s expression changed, her eyes turning to Emmeline as she pleaded, “Emmeline, can you forgive me? I don’t want to leave Mr. Adam. Please, cut me some slack. I’m begging you!”
A wry smile tugged at the corner of Emmeline’s lips.
Ysabel seemed to tend to idolize heroes.
Last time, she was quite fixated on Benjamin after he rescued her on Adelmar’s rooftop.
And now, she’s fixated on Adam.
“Good people” still need a little “polishing.”
Emmeline smiled. “Fine, it’s water under the bridge. For Adam’s sake, I forgive you.”
“Thank you, Emma!” Ysabel almost jumped up in relief. “I won’t stand with Sonia anymore. I stand with Mr. Adam, no, I stand with you!”
Mr. Adam stands with Emmeline, too. A wise move.
“Emma,” Adam said, looking pleased, “I always knew you had a big heart.”
“My heart is the ocean,” Emmeline chuckled. “Take a seat, I’ll have coffee and pastries brought up.”
“No sugar, thanks, Emma!”
Seeing Emmeline’s genuine smile, Adam perked up in happiness.
Adrien and Adam chatted for a while, and it was about time.
Adrien told Adam, “Adam, Liz, and I have an appointment with her brother, so we won’t keep you company.”
“Sure,” Adam nodded. “Go ahead, I’ll wait for Abel.”
Adrien held Lizbeth’s hand and left, heading to Seashell Hotel.
Soon, Abel arrived, dressed in a dark suit, looking handsome and aloof.
Adam invited him and Emmeline to have dinner, and Ysabel was also eager.
No wonder Sonia was so infatuated with Abel.
This man, at first glance, is hard to look away from.
“Let’s leave it for today,” Abel said, “I just received a call from Levan Mansion. I’m here to take Emma to have dinner with Munchkin.”
“That’s fine, kids are important. We can reschedule,” Adam said graciously, leaving with Ysabel.
Adrien and Lizbeth arrived at Seashell Hotel.
After reserving a private room, Lizbeth sent a message to Edmond.
In about half an hour, Edmond arrived, accompanied by Erin.
Seeing this woman, Lizbeth slightly furrowed her brows.
For some reason, she couldn’t generate a favorable impression of Erin. It was strange.
Seeing Lizbeth, Erin appeared quite friendly, “Liz, did you and Adrien just arrive?”
“Not too long ago,” Lizbeth replied casually, “maybe less than half an hour.”
“Sorry about keeping you waiting.” Erin smiled. “Edmond took me to Bvlgari.”
She extended her left hand, revealing a dazzling diamond bracelet on her delicate wrist.
“Do you think it looks nice? It’s a new arrival at Bvlgari.”
“It’s pretty good,” Lizbeth agreed. “Adam has good taste, he’s skilled at picking gifts for women.”
“Liz,” Edmond handed a cigarette to Adrien, “I’ll be honest with you guys. I’m planning to get engaged to Erin. So, on this trip back to Altney, I’m discussing your and Adrien’s marriage plans with Erin. I want to bring her along to formally meet our parents.”
Hearing this, Lizbeth felt a twinge in her heart. Edmond wants to get engaged to Erin?
Does he understand this woman?
