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 explained. “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 palace 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 palace 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 palace 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.”
“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 glanced 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.
An imperial palace business feasibility report?
