    “Desperation doesn’t look good on you,” said Adam as he twirled the wine ss.


    “Easy for you to say since she isn’t the woman of your dreams,” retorted Adrien.


    “Who said she isn’t?”


    “What?”

    “Oh. Pardon the slip of my tongue. I mean to say that she is my sister-inw.”


    “Then tell me how to save her already.”


    “I’ll need you.” Adam helped himself to another dish.


    “Me?” Adrien snorted. “I don’t have 300 million dors and I can’t fight. How am I supposed to save


    Emmeline?”


    “I can do something and Emmeline will be all yours,” said Adam.


    “I don’t follow.”


    “Sigh… I want you to y the hero,” Adam exined.


    “y the hero?” Adrien jumped. “Adam, it is the Imperial Pce we’re talking about. The guards there


    can get away with murders. And its owner is like a devil incarnate. How am I supposed to y the hero


    there?”


    “You believe those rumors?” Adam couldn’t believe that was how the outsiders viewed him.


    “Either way,” Adrien added. “Only a fool ys the hero in the you can inherit párt of my assets when I


    give my life away?”


    “Jesus!” Adam smacked Adrien’s head. “You’re an idiot, you know?”


    Adrien remained silent.


    “Everything will be scripted. Like what we didst time in the cafe,” said Adam.


    “Wait… Adam, you know the owner of the Imperial Pce?”


    “I do. And he can do me this favor.”


    “Oh! Oh! Adam, what do you need me to do?”


    “Come,” Adam beckoned Adrien to lean closer. He then whispered into Adrien’s ears.


    “Great! That’s killing two birds with one stope!” Adrien was so excited that he pped the table.


    “Three birds. Including you.”


    Adrien nched. But Adam quickly burst intoughter.


    Meanwhile, after Abel left Oscar’s Mansion, he went to The


    Precipice. For safety reasons, the triplets were allowed to skip their preschool for a few days. When


    they saw Abel return home, they quickly descended to the first floor.


    “Daddy, where’s Mommy?”


    “Daddy, I’m worried about, Mommy.”


    “Daddy, I miss Mommy.”


    Abel picked up the triples in his arms and kissed them. Looking from the kitchen, Daisy could tell that


    Abel was more like a father to those kids than Adrien. Yet all reports imed that their father was


    Adrien, and the mother of Timothy was na. It didn’t make any sense.


    “Mommy is safe for now.” Abelforted the triplets.


    “So when are you going to rescue her, Daddy?”


    “Yeah, when? Mommy cannot stay with the bad guys.”


    I can’t sleep without Mommy!”
