Chapter 794 How Dare You Lay Hands On Her
“No, thank you,” Emmeline stood up. “I want to look for Abel now,”
“What’s the hurry?” Adam replied. “We’re family, after all. We can still have a conversation.”
“There’s nothing for us to talk about, is there?” Emmeline scoffed. “You’d better not cross the line, Adam!”
“What do you mean there’s nothing for us to talk about?” Adam chuckled quietly. “As I recall, you promised that when you were done with reading Game of Thrones, you’d tell me about it. It’s been quite a while; have you finished it?”
Emmeline blinked, taken aback. Apparently. Adam still remembered that particular conversation from
ages ago.
“You’re bringing that up now? What do you want me to tell
you about?”
“Well, I want to hear about Hallyne, of course.”
“How about this?” Emmeline gave her most charming smile. “I’ll buy you a copy of Game of Thrones for your very own so that whenever you see me, you’ll remember Hallyne and all his achievements. Oh, and Waylon, of course. You kept on talking about him.”
Adam was thrown for a loop. He recalled that in their conversation back then, she kept mixing up Hallyne and Waylon, but why had she suddenly brought Waylon up now?
He did not dare ask for more clarification or probe deeper into the matter. If his voice gave the game away and Emmeline was able to tell that he had met with Waylon, she might just be able to put two and two together and realize that he was the nightclub owner.
Adam decided that discretion was the better part of valor and dropped the subject with a resigned smile.
Emmeline pushed her chair back and stood up to leave. Gingerly using the table to help her, she had only taken two steps when something suddenly tripped her. She staggered and nearly fell but instantly caught hold of the table again. Her sharp ears had picked up the sound of movement. Swinging around, she sent a good, hard slap in that direction.
“Ow!” Bella shrieked, clutching a hand to her cheek. She had not expected that Emmeline would react in such a swift, accurate manner.
Emmeline herself was taken by surprise; she certainly had not expected to hear a feminine squeal in response to her slap. She had been under the impression that Adam was trying to pull a dirty trick on her.
“You bloody blind bitch! You slapped me!” Bella howled and raised her hand to slap Emmeline right back.
Before she could carry out her intention, Adam grasped her wrist like a steel trap. “Are you drunk? How dare you lay hands on a member of my family?”
“Your family?” Bella looked astounded. “But Adam Lizbeth is the one who’s part of your family, right? Not this bitch!”
“Idiot!” Adam snarled. “This is Abel’s wife! Isn’t my cousin’s wife part of the family too?”
“Oh…” Bella wilted visibly. Adam was right; his cousin’s wife would definitely be considered family. Nonetheless, her indignation was too strong for her to remain silent. Nursing her reddened cheek, she demanded, “But she’s blind! How does that qualify her to be your cousin’s wife anyway?”
Earlier, she had eagerly made her way over to Abel, all smiles and flattery, wanting to talk to him. Before she could get sufficiently close, however, his stony-faced, unsmiling bodyguards pushed her aside,
“Mr. Abel! Mr. Abel!” Unwilling to give up. Bella tried to get Abel’s attention by waving enthusiastically at him.
Abel glanced at her, and his contemptuous, disgusted expression made several of the nearby actresses snicker derisively.
Bella had retreated over here, simmering with indignation. If Abel wasn’t going to pay attention to her, she could certainly get her own back on some stupid blind cow, couldn’t she?
This had resulted in the altercation with Emmeline and Adam’s intervention.
Adam said nothing, merely gripping Bella even tighter by the wrist and pulling her toward the walkway behind the main area.
“Mr. Adam!” Bella tried to pull away, her voice low and urgent. “You asked me to come here so I could seduce Abel Ryker, right? That woman is his wife, and she irks me to death!”
“Don’t cause trouble for me!” Adam flung her against the wall. “I asked you to take care of Abel, didn’t l Your job is to focus on that. I didn’t ask you to deal with his wife!”
“But…”
“But what? Do you want to be thrashed?”
“No! But Mr. Adam… Bella nursed her cheek. “I’m trying to seduce Abel, but he won’t let any females within ten feet of him. His bodyguards chased me off earlier.
“Who asked you to go about it in such a blatant manner?” Adam shot back. “I’ve got plans laid. When the right time comes, you’ll be able to make your move!”
“Plans?” Bella looked curious. “What plans, Mr. Adam?”
“That’s none of your business,” Adam replied curtly. “Just wait for my signal, then do what you need to do.”
“Alright then, Mr. Adam,” Bella answered.
Adam was about to leave when Bella caught hold of him. “After this is done, though, what do I get out of it?”
“It won’t be loose change, that’s for sure,” Adam answered with a sneer. “You’re not earning more than 3 million a year as an influencer, are you?”
“Wow!” Bella’s eyes widened in surprise and delight. “You’re going to give me 3 million, Mr. Adam?“
