"Lizbeth may be small, but she's mighty," Adrien chuckled. "Just like your former heartthrob Emmeline, who was also a skilled fighter, wasn't she?"

As he spoke, Adrien glanced at Emmeline out of the corner of his eye.

Emmeline's gaze landed on Abel's face, trying to gauge his reaction.

But Abel remained impassive and simply said, "Please, Adrien, have a seat."

Adrien sat down on the sofa in front of the main desk.

He couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

I said Emmeline was his heartthrob, but this guy doesn't seem fazed at all.

Could it be that what Emmeline said was true?

Adrien's gaze flickered back towards Emmeline.

She shrugged helplessly in response.

"Emmett, come here," Abel called out.

Abel was getting annoyed at Adrien's repeated glances toward "Emmett."

"Come over here to me," he said, his voice dripping with jealousy.

Emmeline obediently got up and walked over to him.

Abel's large hand reached out and pulled her into his arms, holding her tightly.

"Tell me, are you still happy here?" he whispered in her ear, his tone possessive.

"Yes, of course, I am," Emmeline replied.

"Why are you happy?" Abel asked himself, then answered, "Is it because I'm here with you?"

Emmeline knew he was feeling jealous. He was jealous of Adrien.

But Adrien already knew the truth, and he promised to help her.








































"Yes, of course," Emmeline replied with a smile, "I love being by Mr. Ryker's side the most."

"Hmm, that's good," Abel said, pleased, as he looked at her beautiful face and stroked her short hair.

Adrien pursed his lips and turned his head away.

If he didn't know that the small figure in Abel's arms was Emmeline, he wouldn't be able to stand Abel's behavior.

Although Adrien was a playboy, his sexual orientation was not an issue.

In other words, Adrien only liked beautiful women.

But now that he knew Emmett was actually Emmeline, Adrien could understand Abel's behavior.
