"Argh!" Abel moved his head away. "D*mn it!"

Emmeline tried to shove him, but he hugged her tightly once more.

She could not escape from the man's embrace.

"Let me go, you b*stard!" Emmeline yelled with no regard for her image.

"You injured me! Don't run away!"

"What do you want then?"

"Compensate me with a kiss!" Abel grabbed her face and pressed his lips onto hers.

"F*ck off!" Emmeline grasped his neck tightly. "You're about to marry Alana, so why are you doing this with me?"

"I don't want to marry her. You know that!"

Abel grabbed Emmeline's wrists and removed them from his neck.

"But you have no other choice! You're not going to give up your position!"

"I've already convinced Grandfather. I want to get the Wonder Doctor to treat her so I won't owe her anything," Abel said.

Emmeline was taken aback, and she narrowed her gaze.


Why didn't I hear about that from Benjamin?

He only told me Adrien wanted my help.

"What did the Wonder Doctor say?" Emmeline wanted to know what Benjamin told Abel.

"She's not taking any appointments." Abel sighed. "If I can't treat Alana in a month, I'll have to fulfill my end of the contract."

"Marry Alana?"

"Yes!"

"Congratulations then!"

"It's not happening yet!" Abel pinched her chin. "As long as the Wonder Doctor can cure Alana, the marriage will be called off. What about you? Have you progressed past the point of no return with Benjamin?"

"What the heck are you saying, Abel?" Emmeline said angrily. "Take your things and leave at this instant!"

"Hah, looks like I guessed right!" Abel smirked. "I'm sure you're worried that I might accidentally bump into something I'm not supposed to see!"

Emmeline opened the door and yelled, "Sam! Come up here and help me pack up. I want him to leave!"

Sam and Luca ran up the stairs.

"What happened, Mr. Ryker?" Luca was confused.

Abel seemed embarrassed. "Let's pack up and leave!"

Luca turned to look at Emmeline, then at Abel.

He had never seen both of them so angry before.

He knew that things were really finished between Abel and Emmeline.

Worse yet, when Emmeline wanted to refund Abel his rent, she realized that Abel had removed her from his contacts as well!

Emmeline was on the verge of tears. "Sam, get Luca's contact and return the money to him. I don't want a single cent from them!"

"Yes, Ms. Louise!" Sam replied.

Emmeline shoved Abel and ran up the balcony crying.
