Chapter 1151 Fighting Fire With Fire


    Upon hearing this, Glenn felt a tinge of displeasure in his heart, but he maintained aposed


    expression on his face. After all, he was a veteran in the world of politics.


    "Is your memory not as good as Uncle Glenn''s? Didn''t we all have dinner together when you and Sonia


    were in college?" Glenn smiled lightly, with a hint of usation in his tone.


    "That was all in the past," Abel sneered, "Young people tend to move forward, not dwell on the past."


    As Abel''s words reached Glenn''s ears, the corners of his lips tightened noticeably. What did Abel mean


    by that? Did he mean the matter between Glenn and Sonia was over?


    "Uncle Glenn, let''s order," Abel politely pushed the menu over.


    "Nimbus Hotel has recently introduced a new dish. Uncle Glenn can try it and provide some feedback,"


    Abel suggested.


    Glenn took the menu and handed it to Stuart, saying, "I''m a bit overwhelmed with choices, you can


    order."


    Stuart carefully selected four dishes and one soup.


    Abel followed suit and ordered four dishes and one soup as well, making a total of eight dishes and two


    soups. He also ordered two bottles of aged liquor that had been aged for 50 years.


    "If we order so much, we might not be able to finish it all," Glenn remarked politely, his expression


    unchanged.


    "Four dishes and one soup are sufficient, along with drinks. No need to go overboard and make it too


    extravagant," Glenn added.


    "I didn''t invite you out to talk about business. We don''t need to follow any formalities," Abel replied


    firmly.


    Abel smiled, "Let''s enjoy our time together and have good food."


    Glenn''s expression improved upon hearing this.


    In truth, he had been wondering about Abel''s intentions for inviting him here. Could it be that he had


    thoughts about his daughter Sonia again? Perhaps Abel wanted to rify the rtionship between him


    and Emmeline.


    Apart from that, Glenn couldn''t think of any other reason for Abel to request this meeting.


    The waiter served all the dishes, and the bottle of Moutai was opened. Stuart took charge of filling their


    sses.


    "Uncle Glenn," Abel raised his wine ss, "This toast is for you!"


    Glenn also lifted his ss and clinked it with Abel''s.


    Abel''s ss was slightly lower, showing respect for his elder.


    They both took a sip of their drinks, and a sense of camaraderie filled the air.


    Abel then used the serving chopsticks to pick up some food for Glenn.


    Glenn''s mood seemed to improve even further, and he appeared more at ease.


    After all, Glenn was a high-ranking official, and no matter what the Ryker family''s background was, he


    was still a businessman. His imposing aura and sense of superiority were difficult to subdue.


    "Uncle Glenn, please have some more," Abel offered again, serving more food to Glenn.


    Glenn felt increasingly ttered by Abel''s attentiveness.


    Regaining hisposure, Glenn drank and ate, waiting for Abel to bring up the topic he had in mind.


    But Abel just kept toasting, serving food and remained silent about the purpose of their gathering.

    As time passed, and the bottle of liquor was finished, Abel still had not broached the subject.


    Glenn''s patience was wearing thin.


    For the sake of his daughter''s happiness, he feltpelled to take the initiative and speak first.


    "Abel, do you have something to tell me?" Glenn inquired.


    "Yes," Abel nodded, "That''s what I wanted to do."


    "Then go ahead and let me know, there''s no need to hold back," Glenn encouraged him.


    "Well, I''lle straight to the point," Abel turned his head and gestured to Luca, "Please step outside


    for a moment."


    "Yes, Mr. Abel!" Luca acknowledged and left the room.


    Glenn noticed and said to Stuart, "You step outside too. I''ll have a private conversation with Abel about


    family matters."


    Stuart nodded, bowed slightly, and then exited the room.


    Now, only the two men remained in the private dining room—the older Glenn and the younger Abel.


    Glenn was not that old, more of a middle-aged man.


    "What do you want me to tell Sonia?" Glenn calmly sipped his tea and asked.


    Abel''s thin lips curled slightly, and he began speaking slowly, "The Director from the Office of the Health


    Department suddenly resigned. I''m sure you''re aware of that, right?"


    Glenn''s face froze with surprise. He had thought Abel would discuss something rted to Sonia, but


    this waspletely unexpected.


    The sudden shift caught him off guard, but he knew that Abel must have a reason for bringing up this


    topic.
