Chapter 850 Make Adam Suffer
“Emma!”
“Emma!”
Lizbeth and Adrien simultaneously rose from their chairs.
“You guys?” Emmeline expressed her surprise, “You guys are here too?”
With a cigarette between his lips, Adam narrowed his eyes and remarked, “How can we have a meal without them tagging along?”
“Exactly,” Lizbeth chimed in, “Adam didn’t mention why he called us here, and now I know that he invited Emma.”
“I didn’t come for nothing,” Adrien smiled, “I was thinking how dull this meal would be with just the three of us!”
“What do you mean?” Lizbeth appeared displeased, “Are you bored of eating with me?”
“How could I dare?” Adrien quickly apologized, “I didn’t mean that either.”
“That’s when we’re dining with Adam,” Adam shot him a disdainful glance, “Don’t you like it?”
“I’m even more afraid,” Adrien responded, “I just think the three of us having this dinner feels incomplete. Now that Emma’s here, it feels right, but what about Abel?”
Adrien turned towards Emmeline and inquired, “Why didn’t Abel come along with you?”
“Abel isn’t feeling well,” Emmeline explained, “He’s resting at home for a couple of days.”
“You two don’t know this yet, don’t you?” Adam extinguished his cigarette in the ashtray.
“Well, she’s now the president of the Ryker Group!”
Adrien was taken aback for a moment and quickly pulled out a chair for Emmeline.
“That’s thanks to Abel’s foresight. If he entrusted me with this responsibility, I couldn’t even handle it,”
Adam glanced at him and spoke in a hushed tone, “Excellent!”
It was only then that Lizbeth noticed Emmeline holding a large, disheveled bouquet of roses and inquired, “Emma, what happened to the flowers?”
Emmeline grinned, “I haven’t had a chance to throw them away yet.”
“I’ll help you throw them away,” Adrien offered, taking the flowers and heading outside to throw them in the trash can.
Upon returning and preparing to take his seat, he noticed Adam’s face had turned as dark as ink.
Adrien was momentarily stunned, as it had appeared quite pale just a moment ago. Why had it suddenly

However, Adrien did not have time to dwell on Adam, so he handed Emmeline the menu.
“Emma, feel free to order whatever you like to cat. It’s on me today,” Adam said, with Lizbeth and Adrien both present, making it inconvenient for Emmeline to leave.
With no other choice but to settle down, Emmeline picked up the menu and quickly scanned through it. As she perused the options, she marked a few signature dishes.
Not to mention whether she wanted to cat or not, but at least it would distract Adam from his discomfort.
“How about the wine?” Adrien turned to Adam and asked.
“Today, Emma has the final say. She can have whatever wine she wants,” Adam replied, feigning domineering demeanor.
“In that case, I won’t hold back,” Emmeline smiled, “I’ll have the 1993 Romanée–Conti,”
Romanée–Conti?
From 1993?
It costs over two million dollars per bottle.

Initially, Adam found Emmeline’s suggestion inappropriate, but she followed up by saying, “Make it two bottles. I know Adam enjoys red wine and nothing less eye–catching will do.”
Adam felt suffocated as if his brain was deprived of oxygen.
Without delay, Adrien quickly remarked, “Emma understands Adam well.”
Though these words were not pleasant to hear as they put Adam in a difficult position.
“Is it alright, Adam?” Emmeline smiled sweetly, but her smile concealed a hidden blade.
Adam’s face turned dark, but he forced a smile and replied, “Emma, of course! It’s the 1993 Romanée- Conti. We’ll have two bottles of it.”
“Got it!” Adrien picked up the menu and headed to the adjacent room to retrieve a number and placed the order at the service desk.
Emmeline took out her phone under the table and sent a message to Luca, “Lizbeth and Adrien are here, don’t worry.”
Luca replied, “Alright, Miss Louise,”
Emmeline sent another message, “You can have your lunch and leave me alone.”
Luca replied, “Yes, Miss Louise.”
In reality, Luca remained outside the door and kept an eye out for her.
It was better to go hungry than risk anything happening to Emmeline.

Eric came out from the elevator and spotted Luca from a distance.
Instead of approaching him, he hid in a nearby restroom, enabling him to respond promptly if something happened to Emmeline.
After sending the message to Luca, Emmeline messaged Abel.
“I won’t be able to return for lunch. Please cat properly.”
