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."

"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

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

Abel shook his head. "The moment I saw you, I knew I had to own you. And I won't let you go now that you're all
mine. Don't ever think about leaving."
"You can't win my heart like this."
"I don't care." Adam sighed. "I won't let you leave me. Even if you don't love me."
"You disgust me," Emmeline scowled. "If you touch me, I'll fight you. If I can't kill you, I'll kill myself."
