Adam sneered, "Didn't you consider this when you helped me? Do you feel sorry for him now?"

Alana said, "That's not what we agreed on. All I was hoping for was your help in getting rid of Emmeline, and you want her to be your sister-in-law. We didn't decide we would directly go after Abel."

Adam rebutted, "My target has always been Abel. Emmeline is just a tool to deal with him."

"Adam, I won't agree with you completely targeting Abel, but I can accept Abel being impacted slightly to deal with Emmeline," Alana said.

Adam snorted, "Do you have the final say? Remember that I have a lot of your leverage with me. You better shut your mouth or bear the consequences!"

Alana was at a loss for words.

Indeed, I had way too much leverage in this ruthless man's hands.

Alana could not help but inhale a breath of cold air.

"Additionally, I was informed by my subordinates that a perpetrator in the Brookwater Wellness Center incident had been apprehended," Adam continued.

Alana exclaimed, "No, that's not possible! I’m doomed if word of this incident spreads! There have to be no more loopholes since everyone accepts the paternity test results! According to what I've heard, the nurse's name is Kendra Walsh. She was there when Emmeline gave birth. It's just a coincidence that she was transferred to Struyria Hospital the next day and later married a doctor."

"Kendra Walsh?"

Alana's complexion turned pale when she heard the name.

Timothy was taken in by Kendra the last time he ran away from home. Could this woman happen to be Kendra? The fact that they share the same name can't just be a coincidence, right?

I doubt it's a coincidence. She must be the same Kendra. It makes sense why she kept asking me odd questions. Now that I've thought about it, I wonder if Kendra is suspecting me?

Alana almost wet her pants due to her fear. Her hands were trembling while holding her phone. She pleaded, "Adam, please help me get rid of Kendra. She has to die. I can't keep her around!"

Adam mocked, "So the mastermind behind all of this wants to take another life?"

Alana was at a loss for words and had a horrifyingly pale complexion. Her hands and feet felt cold, and she kept saying, "Once Kendra disappears, I'll be fine. Adam, I need your help. I'll follow everything you say. Rest assured, I will keep my mouth shut about all your affairs."

Adam sneered, "That's nice. Remember, I'll make sure you die a horrible death if you betray me."

Alana remained silent while trembling in terror. She promised, "I know, I'll remember this Adam."

Adam was content, he said, "Alright. About that woman, I'll find someone to take care of her."

After he finished the call with Alana, Adam put down his phone and massaged the bridge of his nose.

He yelled, "Servant!"

The door was pushed open, and his assistant entered the room. He asked, "Mr. Ryker, what can I do for you?"

"Look for Kendra from the Brookwater Wellness Center and…"

Adam made a throat-slitting gesture.

The assistant replied, "Yes, Mr. Ryker."

Adam continued, "Besides that, book me a flight ticket. I need to meet with Abel's overseas business partners."
