Quadruplets Unite: Mother's Words Are Law novel Chapter 852

Adam thought for a while and realized he should not rush things.

If he offended Emmeline, she might leave in a huff despite Lizbeth's requests to stay.

The best way was still to make her drunk and get her to sign off the approval.

If Adam could get her signature, the finance department would not be able to refuse his request.

A grin appeared on his face as he thought of that.

"Liz is right. We rarely get to sit together for a meal. Let's not ruin the mood by talking about business. Why don't we eat and drink to our fill first?"

Adrien was also in on the plan. He lifted his glass and said, "A toast to your recovery, Emma. Bottoms up!"

"That is indeed worth celebrating. I was so worried when you couldn't see. Bottoms up!" Adam said.

"Cheers, Emma!" Lizbeth said.

Emma smiled. She could tell that she was walking into a trap.

I know I can't drink, but that doesn't mean I'm helpless!

"Excuse me, I need to go to the bathroom," Emmeline said while slipping a toothpick between her fingers. "I'll drink when I come back."

"That's more like it!" Adam gestured a thumbs-up at her.

Emmeline stood up and went to the bathroom outside of the private room.

In the meantime, Adrien leaned close to Adam and whispered, "Adam, you'd better not make her pass out. I'll be the first to protest."

"I won't let you do that too," Lizbeth said with a frown. "Just a couple of drinks will be enough!"

"Are you both idiots?" Adam said in a low voice. "If we acquire the Imperial Palace, we'll be set for life! I'm not going to fail at this step!"

"Are you sure you've thought through this? The Imperial Palace will require a big startup capital, and it'll be a hassle to operate," Adrien said.

"Just leave it to me. All you have to do is sit back and wait to collect dividends!" Adam said confidently.

Adrien and Lizbeth exchanged glances and did not say anything.

After Emmeline went into the bathroom, she poked her stomach at several spots with the toothpick.

Then, she washed her hands and left the bathroom.
