Chapter 860


    Emmeline smiled wryly. “If only it were that easy. I can’t find that person at all. If I know where he is and


    ask him for the antidote, I’ll be willing to do anything for him. But where can I find him? That b*stard is


    nowhere to be found!”


    The pastry chef said nothing.


    Emmeline pressed her lips together. She took an ice pack from the freezer and went upstairs.


    After seeing Emmeline disappear around the corner, the pastry chef went back to the kitchen.


    He thought for a while and sent Adam a message. “Mr. Adam, I managed to find out something just


    now, but I don’t know if it’s important.”


    Adam replied, “What is it? Tell me! I’m not in the mood to y games!”


    “Mr. Abel is ill, but he needs an antidote instead of a doctor.”


    “Okay. And then?”


    “Ms. Louise was crying. She said ‘that person’ has the antidote, but she can’t find him.”


    Adam grinned smugly. Yes, that’s true. I’m that man! But I can’t tell him.


    Instead, he replied, “Is that all? Can’t you tell me the whole story in one message?”


    Text property ? N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org.


    “Oh, she called that person a b*stard.”


    “…What else?”


    “She said she’d do anything for the antidote. That’s all.”


    Did Emmeline actually say that? If I give her the antidote, will she do anything I say? Adam thought. He


    twiddled the sparse hairs on his chin and grinned maliciously.


    I guess this is my chance! But what would I make that woman do?


    The first thing he wanted was to have her make out with him and satisfy his urges, but he knew that


    was a mere fantasy.


    More importantly, he wanted funds from Ryker Group to acquire the Imperial Pce.


    The Imperial Pce was avish establishment upying arge area. He estimated the bids would


    go as high as 20 billion dors.


    He had about eight billion dors in assets, which was far less than what was required.


    20 billion dors was only enough to acquire the ce. He had to consider startup and maintenance


    costs as well.


    All of that needed money, and he could not do it alone.


    He thought about it a little more and realized he could not rely on Emmeline for the funds.


    If he asked for funds in exchange for the antidote, he would be exposing his identity as the owner of the


    Imperial Pce.


    He sipped wine as an idea gradually formed in his head.


    He took his phone and dialed a number.


    The call was soon answered. “Mr. Adam? Is that you?”


    Adam narrowed his gaze. “Mmhm.”


    “I’ve been waiting for your call, Mr. Adam,” the other person said.


    “Mm. We can continue our coboration now,” Adam said and nodded.


    “You don’t have the Imperial Pce anymore. How can we coborate?” the other person said with a


    smile.


    “If Murphy Group can give me the funds to acquire the Imperial Pce, I’ll buy your ‘H’ at double the


    price.”


    “Double? That’s a good deal,” the other person chuckled and said.


    “That settles it. We’ll join forces at the auction,” Adam said.


    “Of course. I should congratte you in advance on bing the legitimate owner of the Imperial


    Pce.”


    “Hahaha!” Adamughed.


    He decided he would hold Emmeline hostage with the antidote after his ownership of the Imperial


    Pce was legitimized.


    He could already imagine Emmeline lying on his bed naked, waiting for him to vite her.


    “Hahahaha!” heughed again, feeling that he had already won.


    The auction of the Imperial Pce happened four dayster.


    Many big bosses from all over the country gathered in Struyria.


    Abel read the news on his phone, but he could not show himself in public with his current appearance.


    He asked Emmeline to go. Waylon did not want her to go alone, so he apanied her. Benjamin


    went along too.


    The Murphy family of Altney was also present. Edmond was their representative.
