"Mm," Abel replied after a few seconds.

"Mm."? Is that all? What's the meaning of that? Emmeline thought while frowning.

Do you think I'm a child? That was what Abel was thinking.

Even so, he was glad that his wife was still concerned about him.

I'm glad that she decided to eat out. It's better than coming home and seeing the door to the study tightly shut.

The waiter served food to the table and opened the bottle of wine.

As the cork popped, Adam shuddered involuntarily.

Two and a half million dollars were gone in an instant.

"Let's open another one," Emmeline said. "Mr. Adam can drink a lot. You're insulting him if you only open one bottle.

The waiter blushed nervously. He uncorked another bottle and poured it into the decanter.

Pop! Adam shuddered again.

That was five million dollars, not including the price of the food.

Adam narrowed his gaze.

If I get my hands on the Imperial Palace again, the money spent here will be pocket change!

D*mn you, Emmeline Louise! You'd better approve my proposal!

Adrien took the decanter and filled Adam's glass.

He was about to fill Emmeline's glass when Adam grabbed her glass.

"I'll fill Emmeline's glass," Adam said. "Let the eldest in the family do it. That's etiquette."

"I didn't know about that, Adam."

Adrien was not going to fight with him anyway. He poured a glass of wine for Lizbeth.

Adam stared at Emmeline. "Emma, I've poured this glass of wine for you. You'll have to drink the entire thing."

"I can't drink. One glass will knock me out," Emmeline said with a gentle smile. "It'll be such a waste if I throw up in

the toilet later."

Adam was not sure how to reply to that.

"If that's the case, you should eat more. You ordered these dishes, and let's not have them go to waste."

Adam began to fill Emmeline's plate with food.

He thought for a while and realized that he should attend to Lizbeth too. Both women were his sisters-in-law, and he

did not want to show that he was playing favorites.

He thought for a little more and thought that he should serve his younger brother too.

He seemed irritated. On all other occasions, he was the one whom people served. He never had to serve others

before.

Emmeline spoke, "I'm sure you have another reason for inviting me today."

Adam composed himself before smiling, "You're a smart one, Emma."

"Tell me the real reason then?"

"The Imperial Palace." Adam went straight to the point. "I want Ryker Group to approve my proposal of bidding for

the Imperial Palace."

"You've mentioned it before, Adam," Emmeline said. "If you want to submit a bid on behalf of Ryker Group, you'll

have to submit a feasibility report. Otherwise, the board of directors won't approve your proposal, and the finance

department won't be able to give you any money."

"Heh," Adam smirked. "That's only a smokescreen. All I need is for Abel to say yes. Now that Abel has given you

executive rights, all you have to do is put your signature and the company stamp on the proposal. There's no point

in making things difficult for me, especially when it's such a trivial matter, right?"

"I'm not making things difficult for you," Emmeline said, still smiling. "If you really want ownership of the Imperial

Palace, you should go through the proper channel. Otherwise, I can't help you."

Adam's expression sank, though he did not say anything.

Seeing that Emmeline was about to leave, he shot a glance at Adrien.

Adrien did not think acquiring the Imperial Palace was a bad idea. In fact, it would give Meriwether Mansion a bigger

say in the family.

Adrien kicked Lizbeth's shin under the table.

Lizbeth understood what Adrien wanted. She immediately took the brothers' side.

"Don't go yet, Emma. We haven't even chatted yet. Why don't we talk about something other than business?"

Emmeline nodded and decided to stay.
