Julianna said, “How do you still not understand? The Murphy family of Altney is still a highly prestigious family. If you can establish a connection with them, they will be a powerful ally when you go against Abel in the future!”

Hearing this, Adam finally understood what his mother meant.

He said, “But I don’t like her. She’s pretty, but she’s not my type.”

Julianna rolled her eyes and said, “Mother knows best. I’m aware you have feelings for Emmeline, but it’s best you give up on that pipe dream. Even if you could court her, she will never reciprocate your affection.”

Adam put a fist up to his mouth and coughed.

Julianna added, “Don’t be mad. You know it’s true. I’m telling you you have an opportunity here. Don’t miss it!”

Adam narrowed his eyes at Evelyn.

Julianna lowered her voice and said, “Why are you still standing around? Women are no more than tools. I didn’t tell you to like her. Just make sure you can use her!”

Adam finally nodded, “Alright. It’s not like I have anything better to do. Let’s see what we have here.”

Julianna slapped Adam on the back and said, “That’s my boy! Good luck!”

Adam cleaned up his suit a little, then took two glasses of wine and walked over to where Evelyn was.
