Chapter 845 A Serious Businessman
Emmeline suggested, "Adam, it would be better for me to get the report first and bring it back for Abel''s
review."
"Then I should go find Abel myself," Adam countered. "It''ll be quicker that way."
"It''s not convenient for Abel," Emmeline exined. "Let me handle it on your behalf."
"What''s wrong with Abel?" Adam scoffed. "Is he hiding something? Is he injured by the gang?"
"Not!" Emmeline retorted, blocking his path. "Where do you think you''re going?"
"It''s not ideal," Adam sneered. "There was an incident at the imperial pce some time ago. Rumor
has it that international mercenaries were hired, and some suspect that Abel was involved behind the
scenes. If the president of the Ryker Group is connected to criminal activities, it will spell trouble for the
company!"
Emmeline remained silent, but she could not help but feel that Adam was not taking the matter too
seriously.
Regardless, Abel and Benjamin had attacked the imperial pce without revealing their identities.
Moreover, the police station was also secretly involved in covering up the incident.
Even if Adam knew of Abel''s involvement, he had no intention of getting himself entangled in it.
What concerned him more was that delving deeper into this matter could potentially expose him to
undesirable consequences.
"I''ve also heard about the attack on the imperial pce by the criminal organization," Oscar remarked
as he furrowed his eyebrows. "I haven''t been able to uncover the mastermind behind it, but if it turns
out to be a prominent businessman, the repercussions will be significant."
Emmeline suggested, "Adam, it would be better for me to get the report first and bring it back for Abel''s
review."
"Old Mr. Ryker, there''s no need to worry," Emmeline reassured, wearing a smile. "Abel would never get
involved in such matters. Please rest assured."
"Hmph!" Adam sneered. "Only he knows if he''s involved with it."
"People may forget about their mistakes," Oscar mused impressively. "When I established the Ryker
Group, I didn''t always adhere to the straight path."
"I don''t care about that," Adam replied, his face cold. "Call Abel and ask him to approve my bidding
application. Otherwise, I''ll find him myself at The Precipice."
Emmeline was speechless.
This seemed impossible. Abel was still recovering in the ice water.
While she was worrying, Emmeline''s phone suddenly rang.
She nced down and to her surprise, it was Abel calling.
Emmeline''s heart leaped with joy. Could it be that Abel had regained consciousness?
She quickly answered the call.
As expected, Abel''s deep andposed voice came through the line. "Emma, are you at the Ryker
Group?"
"Abel," Emmeline''s eyes welled up with tears, her voice choked with emotion.
She sniffled, put the phone on speaker and pretended nothing was wrong, and replied, "I was just
about to call you, but you beat me to it."
"Tell me," Abel''s voice sounded strong,cking any hint of weakness. "I''m listening,"
"Adam wants to bid for the imperial pce," Emmeline exined. "Can you approve his application so
that he can secure the necessary funds?"
" He needs to follow a procedure," Abel stated. "Tell him to submit a business feasibility report, which
will then be reviewed and approved by the board of directors. Without their approval, the funds cannot
be allocated."
"Alright, I''ll let him know," Emmeline replied.
After ending the call, Emmeline turned to face Adam. "Adam, did you hear everything?"
Adam was speechless.
An imperial pce business feasibility report?
Did they expect him to include illegal activities like drugs, arms, and pornography?
But how could he, with his limited traditional business knowledge,e up with a viable project?
"Grandpa," Adam pleaded, cing hisst hope in Oscar. "You have to help me with this. If I can get
the imperial pce, my business will thrive!"

"Let''s follow Abel''s suggestion," Oscar stated authoritatively. "Bidding for the imperial pce involves a
substantial investment and carries significant risks."
His final hope was shattered as well.
Could he ever reim the imperial pce?
"Old Mr. Ryker," Emmeline smiled, trying to change the subject. "I''ve learned how to make dessert
recently. I can bring some for you some other day."
"That sounds wonderful!" Oscar went out of his office with his hands sped behind his back.
Adam followed him.
She learned how to make dessert from the pastry chef to curry favor with Oscar.
As they walked towards the door, Adam nced back at Emmeline.
Her graceful silhouette was illuminated by a soft golden glow from the window, radiating a stunning
beauty.
Adam''s heart trembled with a mixture of resentment, greed, and helplessness.
