“No way!” Adam slammed the table, his voice filled with disbelief. “Not even for a day!”
“Well, I can’t do anything about it. You’ll have to figure it out yourself!” Abel stood abruptly, heading for the door.
Adam grabbed him, his voice tinged with frustration. “Abel, how heartless you are!”
“I’ve made myself clear. What more do you want?” Abel shrugged him off, his eyes reflecting anger.
“Do you think I won’t go find Maxwell?‘ Adam’s face twisted. ‘I know you listen to him; he’s your father–in–law!”
With a muffled sound, Abel threw Adam to the ground. Squatting down, he grasped Adam’s collar, his eyes flashing with fury. ‘Maxwell has always been my father. He adopted me when no one else wanted me. If you dare disturb him, I’ll make sure you crawl back to your hometown from Altney!”
With a firm stride, Abel left. He didn’t have time for those he deemed worthless; he needed to find Benjamin and inquire about the case.
Adam’s wife rushed over, grabbing Abel’s clothes, exclaiming. “The boss is hitting people! When he has money, he forgets everyone!”
Suddenly, a white figure appeared from the corner, swiftly landing two slaps on Adam’s wife.
Smack! Smack!
Stunned, Adam’s wife covered her stinging cheek in shock.
Before them stood a girl in a white shirt and light blue jeans, possessing a tall figure, long flowing hair, and delicate features. She exuded a carefree aura.
Abel smiled, “Mia, why are you here?”
“Is it surprising?” Mia stood playfully in front of Abel with her hands behind her back. “Brandon told me about your situation, and I was worried about Emmeline, so I flew over!”
“Thank you.” He nodded. “I was just about to go out. Will you wait for me in the office or come with me?
She tilted her head and said, “Of course, I’ll go with you!”
“Mr. Ryker!” Landon approached. I’ve checked the car. Throughout Altney, we can’t find the same imported model from Ford Focus.”
“No way!” Abel said, “The difference is too significant!”
“Do we have to order this specific car?” Landon frowned. “Can’t we consider other brands?”
