“We don’t have much of a choice now,” Lewis said. “Let’s just go over to the Ryker Mansion first. Your mother and Evelyn will come along too. If the need arises, just apologize to your grandfather and tell him you’re dating Evelyn. Once the media gets wind of that, they’ll forget this ever happened!”

“I don’t agree,” Abel said curtly. “I would rather the whole city think I’m gay than to lie and say I’m dating Evelyn Murphy.”

“You… You…!! Hgghhh!” Lewis wheezed angrily.

“Father, please calm down,” Abel told Lewis. “It’s no big deal, I’ll handle it.”

“You’ll handle it? Pfft! I’ll watch and see how you handle it!” Lewis slammed the phone down.

“God d*mn it!” Abel cursed. “Who did this to me?”

“Strange woman?” Abel cocked an eyebrow. “What do you mean?”

“The woman was incredibly beautiful, but she only had three fingers on her left hand, and she addressed Adam very formally,” Emmeline said.
