Chapter 629 Adam the Heartless
“Emmeline!” Evelyn gnashed her teeth. “I’ll kill her!”
“Yeah, shout all you want.” Alana mocked. “You’re a cripple. You can’t even fend for yourself, let alone get back at her.”
“I…” Evelyn looked down.
“If you really want revenge, we can work together,” said Alana. “But with you being a cripple, I think I should shelve that plan.”
“I can ask her to help me out,” said Evelyn. “I need to get back up if I want to get back at her. Gotta learn how to be flexible.”
“Finally.” Alana nodded, smiling darkly.
“I’ll tell Adam to ask her out.” Evelyn pushed the wheelchair.
“You are not going to do that.” Adam came down, holding a glass of red wine. “I just got into a fight with Abel. If I ask for any favors, it’d be bad for me. You’re dealing with this yourself.”
Alana sneered. He’s so unromantic.
“What now?” Evelyn looked down. “I need someone to help me out. Emmeline’s going to yell at me if I call her out of the blue.”
“Get Flynn to do it for you, then.” Adam swirled his glass of wine. “He’s the best guy for the job. Emmeline and Abel don’t have any beef with him.”
“He’ll kill me if he finds out what I did. There’s no way he’ll help.”
“That’s your only choice.” Adam finished his wine in one go. “Do what you will.”
Evelyn mused over it and realized she had no choice but to call her brother. No one else had any reason to help. In the end, she called Flynn, and as expected he blew up.
“Are you a moron? We’re still dealing with Adelmar here, and you set Emmeline up again? Do you want to bring your whole family down?”
Evelyn was quiet.
“No wonder a dozen partners just canceled their contract! So it’s you!”
“What?” Evelyn gasped. “How did that happen?”
“Abel, I bet. He’s the leader of this industry. You’re lucky he didn’t kill you for what you did to his wife!”
“O-Oh no. Dad’s going to kill me.”
“He will. You’d better settle this, or the company’s done for. Do you have any idea how much I’ve had to do?”
“I just wanted to get back at her.” Evelyn cried. “How should I know she knows how to fight? She’d be dead meat otherwise.”
“How stupid can you be?” Flynn roared. “You deserve this. I’m not helping you this time.”
Evelyn kept crying. “But you can’t just let me live like this my whole life. I don’t want to live like this. You have to help me.”
Flynn heaved an exasperated sigh. “Where are you right now?”
“Adam’s villa. Avalan,” said Evelyn. “If I can heal up, I can marry Adam. You gotta help me, Flynn.”
“Yeah, I got that.” Flynn held his anger back. “Just give me your location. I’ll pick you up, and we can both ask Emmeline to help us out.”
“Thank you, Flynn.” Evelyn ended the call and quickly gave her location to him.
About forty minutes later, Flynn arrived at the villa, and Adam welcomed him. Well, as much a welcome as a haughty host with an arrogant disposition could muster.
“I’m sorry my sister troubled you, Adam.”
“I’m used to it.” Adam crossed his legs, smiling. “She’s a fool.”
“Please be patient with her, Adam.”
“Of course. If she marries me, I’ll be as patient as I can be with her.”
“I’ll tell our father about this. Once she heals up, you can get married anytime you want.”
