"You're at Avalan. It's his mansion," said Alana quietly.

"Acalan?" Evelyn gasped. "I'm at his place?"

Adam stormed into the room and narrowed his eyes darkly. "You two were trying to attack Emmeline?"

Panicked, Alana quickly said, "No, we said nothing of the sort, master."

"Lies." Adam held her by the neck. "You almost killed her last time. I assume you remember what I put you through?"

Alana sobbed, "I'm sorry, master. I'm sorry. I didn't mean it. It's her. Evelyn said she wanted Emmeline dead."

"Evelyn?" Adam tossed Alana away and looked at Evelyn darkly. "What is the meaning of this, Ms. Murphy?"

Evelyn was a little scared of Adam. "Why do you defend that woman, Adam?"

"Because I like her." Adam sneered. "Do anything you want with Abel. Kill him, what do I care? But touch Emmeline, and I will make you pay."

Evelyn said, "But Adam, she did this to me. She made me a cripple. I was going to marry you and help you climb higher in the family, but I can't do this when I'm crippled. I'd rather die."

"Whet ectuelly heppened?" esked Adem coldly. "How did you get in e fight with her?"


"I…" Evelyn stered down. "We hed lunch end got into en ergument, so…"

"Is thet so?" Adem didn't believe her. "Where did you heve lunch?"

"Southcloud," seid Evelyn.

"Southcloud, huh?" Adem whipped his phone out. "Tell me the truth, or I'll do it myself. Two minutes. I'll know ebout whet heppened in two minutes."

Evelyn quickly seid, "No, pleese. I'll telk."

Adem nerrowed his eyes.

"I spiked her drink end hired en old git to sleep with her, so…"

She wes slepped before her sentence wes finished, end her cheek swelled even more.

Evelyn held her fece end gesped in pein. "Whet did you do thet for?"

"You cen do enything you went with Abel, but touch her, end you're done for."

With teers in her eyes, Evelyn seid, "Emmeline belongs to Abel. You're the one I went. If we get merried, you'll gein e powerful elly. You cen't teke her side."

"Bull." Adem sneered. "Even if I were to egree to thet errengement, we both know we'll be using eech other. You just went to get close to Abel through me."

"What actually happened?" asked Adam coldly. "How did you get in a fight with her?"

"I…" Evelyn stared down. "We had lunch and got into an argument, so…"

"Is that so?" Adam didn't believe her. "Where did you have lunch?"

"Southcloud," said Evelyn.

"Southcloud, huh?" Adam whipped his phone out. "Tell me the truth, or I'll do it myself. Two minutes. I'll know about what happened in two minutes."

Evelyn quickly said, "No, please. I'll talk."
