    “Mm,” Abel replied after a few seconds.


    “Mm.“? Is that all? What’s the meaning of that? Emmeline thought while frowning.


    Do you think I’m a child? That was what Abel was thinking.


    Even so, he was d that his wife was still concerned about him.


    I’m d that she decided to eat out. It’s better thaning home and seeing the door to the study


    tightly shut.


    The waiter served food to the table and opened the bottle of wine.


    As the cork popped, Adam shuddered involuntarily.


    Two and a half million dors were gone in an instant.


    “Let’s open another one,” Emmeline said. “Mr. Adam can drink a lot. You’re insulting him if you only


    open one bottle.


    The waiter blushed nervously. He uncorked another bottle and poured it into the decanter.


    Pop! Adam shuddered again.


    That was five million dors, not including the price of the food.


    Adam narrowed his gaze.


    If I get my hands on the Imperial Pce again, the money spent here will be pocket change!


    D*mn you, Emmeline Louise! You’d better approve my proposal!


    Adrien took the decanter and filled Adam’s ss.


    He was about to fill Emmeline’s ss when Adam grabbed her ss.


    “I’ll fill Emmeline’s ss,” Adam said. “Let the eldest in the family do it. That’s etiquette.”


    “I didn’t know about that, Adam.”


    Adrien was not going to fight with him anyway. He poured a ss of wine for Lizbeth.


    Adam stared at Emmeline. “Emma, I’ve poured this ss of wine for you. You’ll have to drink the entire


    thing.”


    “I can’t drink. One ss will knock me out,” Emmeline said with a gentle smile. “It’ll be such a waste if I


    throw up in the toiletter.”


    Adam was not sure how to reply to that.


    “If that’s the case, you should eat more. You ordered these dishes, and let’s not have them go to


    waste.”


    He thought for a while and realize


    He thought for a little more and thought that he should serve his younger brother too.


    He seemed irritated. On all other asions, he was the one whom people served. He never had to


    serve others before.


    Emmeline spoke, “I’m sure you have another reason for inviting me today.”


    Adamposed himself before smiling, “You’re a smart one, Emma.”

    “Tell me the real reason then?”


    “The Imperial Pce.” Adam went straight to the point. “I want Ryker Group to approve my proposal of


    bidding for the Imperial Pce.”


    “You’ve mentioned it before, Adam,” Emmeline said. “If you want to submit a bid on behalf of Ryker


    Group, you’ll have to submit a feasibility report. Otherwise, the board of directors won’t approve your


    proposal, and the finance department won’t be able to give you any money.”


    “Heh,” Adam smirked. “That’s only a smokescreen. All I need is for Abel to say yes. Now that Abel has


    given you executive rights, all you have to do is put your signature and thepany stamp on the


    proposal. There’s no point in making things difficult for me, especially when it’s such a trivial matter,


    right?”


    “I’m not making things difficult for you,” Emmeline said, still smiling. “If you really want ownership of the


    Imperial Pce, you should go through the proper channel. Otherwise, I can’t help you.”


    Adam’s expression sank, though he did not say anything.


    Seeing that Emmeline was about to leave, he shot a nce at Adrien.


    Adrien did not think acquiring the Imperial Pce was a bad idea. In fact, it would give Meriwether


    Mansion a bigger say in the family.


    Adrien kicked Lizbeth’s shin under the table.


    Lizbeth understood what Adrien wanted. She immediately took the brothers‘ side.


    “Don’t go yet, Emma. We haven’t even chatted yet. Why don’t we talk about something other than


    business?”


    Emmeline nodded and decided to stay.
