At the Imperial Palace, Alana’s hand was wrapped in thick layers of gauze.
Hearing that Adam had returned, she went up to the 29th floor.
Adam was pouring some red wine for himself.
“Mr. Adam, let me do it.” Alana reached out a hand.
“Hmph, can you pour wine with only one hand?” Adam sneered.
“I can use this hand. It’s just that I’m not that used to it,” Alana replied.
“You can get prosthetics next time. Then it won’t be much of an issue,” Adam said.
“However, the most important thing to me now is revenge. Is there an opportunity now?” Alana looked
at him and asked.
“The day after tomorrow will be Adrien’s party. It’ll be crowded, so it’s a good opportunity,” Adam
replied.
“How do you plan on dealing with Abel?” Alana asked with cold eyes.
“You’ll know it by then.” Adam picked up the glass of red wine and swirled it, as red wine had to be

“You’ve promised to let me attend it, so you can’t break your word,” Alana said.
“Mmhm, I’ve already thought about it. You’ll need to disguise yourself and mix in with my bodyguards,”
Adam said as he pinched her chin.
“Bodyguard? How can there be a bodyguard as thin and petite as me?” Alana asked. At the Imperial
Palace, Alana’s hand was wrapped in thick layers of gauze.
“Who told you a bodyguard must have a tall, burly figure? Being short and dainty also has its
advantages, right?” Adam snorted coldly.
“Alright, please prepare a black suit for me, Mr. Adam,” Alana replied.
“I know, but how do you want to deal with Abel?” Adam asked.
“I haven’t thought about it, so it depends on the situation.”
“Don’t act rashly. Abel isn’t someone you can easily deal with.”
“Of course, I know this.”
“It’s good that you know. Otherwise, you’ll ruin my plan.”
“Don’t worry, Mr. Adam.”
“Mmhm!” Adam then drank a mouthful of red wine. Decanted wine indeed had a better taste.
He smiled coldly. Abel, I’ve decided that I won’t worry about us being relatives anymore. This time, I’ll
definitely kill you!
Adam then threw the glass away and laughed out loud.
Two days later, Adrien’s party was held in the Ryker’s residence. The hall was brightly lit, and it was
really lively.
Most of the guests were ladies of wealthy families in Struyria. A lot of them wanted to get together with
Adrien. Unfortunately, he also had high standards. He would not like someone who was not pretty or
had a bad personality, so these ladies were all waiting for the drama to unfold. They wanted to see who
he would get together with.
Oscar wore a suit and held a walking stick, looking happy.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe Ryker residence had not been this lively in a while. Star’s banquet last time had become a
shooting scene, which left a scar on Oscar’s heart. This party was a good chance to brighten things up.
“Congratulations, Old Mr. Ryker! It seems like you’ll have a granddaughter-in-law soon! It’s a happy
occasion!” Dolores Clark stepped forward to greet Oscar.
“Thank you. Your eldest son also got married, right?” Oscar asked.
“They’ve already given me a grandson, and we just held a banquet for that child last month when he
turned a month old.”
“That’s nice!” Oscar nodded.
“Once you have a granddaughter-in-law, you’ll have a great-grandchild soon! The Ryker family is really
lucky!”
“Yes, yes!” Oscar smiled happily. At his age, he loved to see his grandchildren have children too.
Seeing his family lively and happy was what he wanted the most.
Landen, Lewis, and their respective wives had also arrived. The wealthy ladies all surrounded them
and chatted with them.
The reporters of Struyria were also busy taking pictures or having livestreams.
