Chapter 258 Betrayed

Adam let out a contemptuous laugh. Then, he said, "I like it even when you do that!"

Soon afterward, Adam finished his dinner. He seemed a little tipsy after having a few drinks. Then, he signaled to the maid to leave the room.

Emmeline grew increasingly uneasy as the two of them were left in the room. She subconsciously tightened her grip over those toothpicks.

Adam noticed how Emmeline's face had turned pale. He grinned. "I don't like forcing myself on the ladies. I'd prefer it if you looked less wary of me."

"Perhaps you should leave then, Palace Lord." Emmeline replied, "I'm sure there are even more beautiful and attractive ladies out there that are willing to serve you. Why bother wasting your time on a nobody like me?"

"You're definitely not that. You're way better than all the ladies out there," Adam said.

…How do I get this man to leave? I don't want to waste my time trying to argue with him anymore.

Emmeline turned her gaze toward the man at the mention of Abel's name. "Do you know him?"
