Quadruplets Unite: Mother's Words Are Law

Chapter 711 Adam the Abductor

There was no way Maxwell would pinch Alondra so she had to do it herself. The pain from her thigh reminded her that the offer was very real.

"I'll be the richest person in Struyria once I have those things!" Alondra kissed the dowry list.

"Do you want the dowry or do you want Emmeline back?" asked Waylon nonchalantly.

"Dowry, of course." Alondra noticed her Freudian slip as soon as that came out. She immediately slapped herself. "Em... Emmeline, I mean."

"Are you sure?" said Waylon mockingly.

"Yes, definitely." The dowry list still hadn't left Alondra's hand. "Human bonds are more important than money."

"I'm so glad to hear that. Now, are you happy with the current arrangement? Finding Emmeline will be our top priority," continued Waylon.

It was at that moment that Alondra realized that she was set up. She would gladly trade Emmeline for the dowry but she couldn't say it out loud. She could only hope that Waylon was serious when he said he would give the dowry to her if Emmeline couldn't be found. She needed the money for her retirement!

Meanwhile, Adam transferred Emmeline to the innermost mansion within Imperial Palace. It was a quiet place, too quiet for his liking. But now that he had Emmeline to himself, he needed some privacy.

Adam was enjoying the incessant news articles about Abel's scandal on his phone. But the amusement was short-lived as Adam soon found out that the articles he read were deleted. Needless to say, it was Abel's doing. Since his entertainment disappeared, Adam put his phone back into his pocket and headed to Emmeline's room. She leaned against the headboard like a doll.

"Emma, are you hungry? Do you want to eat something?" Adam said in another voice.

"I just ate. Is eating all I'm allowed to do now?" Emmeline looked into the distance, despite her lack of eyesight.

"Let's do something. What do you want to do?" said Adam gently.

"I want to go home. Bring me home, please." Emmeline looked in Adam's direction.

"I can fulfill all your requests except that."
