“You’re at Avalan. It’s his mansion,” said Alana quietly.
“Acalan?” Evelyn gasped. “I’m at his place?”
Adam stormed into the room and narrowed his eyes darkly. “You two were trying to attack Emmeline?”
Panicked, Alana quickly said, “No, we said nothing of the sort, master.”
“Lies.” Adam held her by the neck. “You almost killed her last time. I assume you remember what I put you through?”
Alana sobbed, “I’m sorry, master. I’m sorry. I didn’t mean it. It’s her. Evelyn said she wanted Emmeline dead.”
“Evelyn?” Adam tossed Alana away and looked at Evelyn darkly. “What is the meaning of this, Ms. Murphy?”
Evelyn was a little scared of Adam. “Why do you defend that woman, Adam?”
“Because I like her.” Adam sneered. “Do anything you want with Abel. Kill him, what do I care? But touch Emmeline, and I will make you pay.”
Evelyn said, “But Adam, she did this to me. She made me a cripple. I was going to marry you and help you climb higher in the family, but I can’t do this when I’m crippled. I’d rather die.”
“What actually happened?” asked Adam coldly. “How did you get in a fight with her?”
“I…” Evelyn stared down. “We had lunch and got into an argument, so…”
“Is that so?” Adam didn’t believe her. “Where did you have lunch?”
