“You can’t explain what you did, Benjamin said. “Emma is already hurt. You should go back. I’ll take care of her.
“Alright!” Abel nodded wearily. TI come back later. Please take care of her.”
He turned and went downstairs. He had to go back and ask Alana for some clarification!
Back at Ryker Group. Abel summoned Luca and Alana to his office.
He sat behind the office desk, his hands clenched with visible veins, his face turning pale and dark.
“After Luca dropped me off at home last night, what happened next?”
Luca was shocked. “Nothing happened. I undressed you, you went to sleep, and then I left.”
Abel pondered momentarily and said, “It’s none of your business now. You can leave.”
Luca agreed and was about to leave when Abel called him back. “Go to the ninth ward of the Neurosurgery Department at the city hospital. Stay there all day and let me know if anything happens.
“Who?” Lura asked. “Who is there?”
“Just go!” Abel coldly reprimanded.
Luca hurriedly left.
“Were you in my room last night?‘ Abel’s eyes filled with killing intent as he stared darkly at Alana.
“Yes!” She lowered her head. “Luca left, and I stayed behind to care for you because I was worried about you.”
He sneered and asked, “And then you slept in my bed?”
“No!” She hurriedly explained. “It’s not like that!”
“Not like that?” His face turned dark. “Then, how was it?”
“It was you.” She said, “You took off my clothes!”
Abel slammed his palm on the table. “You have underestimated me!”
He took two steps closer, looking down at her, and said, “Even if I lose my mind, I’m not a fool! I know what I did or didn’t do! I know!”
“I didn’t lie.” Alana stepped back, her face pale. “You asked for water, I poured it for then you mistook me for Emmeline, and then-”
Abel let out a cold laugh. “Alana, you don’t understand me and Emma. Although I shared a room with Emma, I am not a beast. You can lie about other things, but this lie is too fake!”
“I don’t understand you.” She lowered her head and glanced around. “But you’ve had too much to drink, and your chaotic behavior… I guess you’re not even aware of it yourself, though.”
