Emmeline was left speechless, unable to utter a single word. “There are no ‘ifs’ in this world,” Adrien said. “You and I are strangers, and Adrien is still Adrien. I may show kindness to others, but ultimately I look out for myself, haha!”
“Just who is this Mr. Adrien?” A sultry voice came through the phone. “Let’s continue, shall we?”
“Adrien, which area of the Imperial Palace are you in?” Emmeline seethed with anger.
Did this man not even think of his own mother? Julianna lay on a cold hospital bed, and neither of her sons bothered to ask how she was doing.
“You want to know which area?” Adrien turned to the woman next to him. “Hurry up and tell me so I can let my former goddess know where we are.”
“Of course, it’s C Area, Mr. Adrien’s VIP roomx…”
“Did you hear that, Emma? C Area. Do you know what goes on there?”
“I don’t give a damn about what you’re doing, Adrien. For the sake of your mother, I’m going to come and give you a piece of my mind. You just wait for me!”
“Hahaha,” Adrien laughed drunkenly. “Come on, Emma, if you dare to come, I’m waiting for you here, hahaha…”
Emmeline ended the call, seething with anger as she stormed up to the second floor.
It was only half an hour later when she came down the stairs.
Sam and Luca were enjoying their coffee when they looked up and saw a handsome young man coming down the stairs.
He was dressed in a black suit and had an air of elegance and refinement about him.
Luca was taken aback and slowly stood up, his first thought being that Ms. Louise was hiding a man upstairs.
And what a charming and sophisticated man he was!
Sam, however, had a different thought.
She stood up and asked, “Ms. Louise, what brings you down here?”
The “man” on the stairs spoke up, “I’m going to Imperial Palace.”
Luca finally realized that the delicate voice belonged to Emmeline!
