Chapter 693 The Woman of His Dreams
Adam furrowed his brows as he looked at the news headlines on his phone.
Emmeline's been abducted? Again?
Are Alana and Evelyn involved in her disappearance again this time?
I got a stern warning from Abel the last time something similar happened.
I can't just sit here and do nothing. Abel might show up at my doorstep at any moment to question me about
Emmeline's disappearance. I need to find out for sure if those two are involved in this!
Adam left the Imperial Palace and headed for the Avalan Mansion in a hurry.
On the other hand, Alana was humming to herself cheerfully as she munched on some snacks. Evelyn had returned
to Flynn's place.
When Alana saw Adam entering the room with a threatening look in his eyes, she was so surprised that she
dropped her snacks on the floor.

feel this excited?"
"Nothing happened, of course." Alana replied, "Can't I feel good just because it's been a lovely day?"
"Wasn't it because of the news of Emmeline's abduction?" Adam gave a scoff.
"Emmeline's been abducted?!" Alana acted as if she had heard it for the first time. "How did it happen?"
There was a loud sound as Adam slapped Alana in the face. "I'm only giving you one chance to come clean. Are you
and Evelyn behind Emmeline's abduction this time?"
"Master! I…" Alana got on her knees.
"Don't waste your time trying to come up with lousy excuses." Adam's face darkened. "If I were to find out that
Emmeline had gotten severely injured in your hands, I'd be sure to make you experience hell in return."
Alana knew deep down that it was only a matter of time until Adam found out what they had done.
Just then, she recalled what Evelyn had suggested as an explanation if Adam somehow caught them in their act.
"Master." Alana inched closer to Adam. "Please allow me to explain. I swear that this isn't an excuse! I was just
trying to prepare a gift for you, Master. However, I was exposed before I could present the gift to you…"
"A gift?" A small frown creased Adam's forehead. "What gift?"
"Well, isn't there a person that you've been longing for all this time, Master?"
Adam could feel his pulse quickening.
…The person that I've been longing for all this time?
It's Emmeline, of course!
Even though I had two ladies in bed with me last night, Emmeline was the only person I had on my mind the entire
time!
"Does that mean… You're keeping Emmeline confined somewhere right now?" Adam asked.
"Do you like the gift I've prepared for you, Master?" Alana responded with another question.
"Hahaha!" Adam had a malevolent grin on his face. "I like it very much, of course!"
Just as Alana breathed a small sigh of relief, Adam suddenly slapped her twice on her face.
"You sly wench! Did you seriously think you could fool me?! You abducted Emmeline because you wanted to take

you red-handed! Who do you think you are to try to lie to me so blatantly?!"
"Master!" Alana cupped her swollen, reddened cheeks. "I admit that I've abducted Emmeline out of vengeance.
That woman has destroyed my hopes of being with the man of my dreams, after all! However, I know that I can't
harm her since she matters a lot to you, Master. That's why I decided to offer her to you."
"I guess you're not that dumb, after all." Adam kicked Alana in her side. Then, he asked bitingly, "Is Evelyn involved
in this?"
Alana paused for a brief moment.
Should I tell him about Evelyn's involvement? I think I'll just tell him that this is all my doing.
If Adam is actually pleased about this, I don't want to see him reward Evelyn for this.
On the contrary, if Adam is planning to punish those involved in Emmeline's abduction, I can probably keep Evelyn
out of this and use her help afterward.
"She's not aware of this. It was all my doing." Alana dropped her gaze.
"Where's Emmeline?" Adam furrowed his brows. "Take me to her now."
"She…" Alana continued hesitantly, "I kept her locked up inside the Imperial Palace's dungeons."
Adam gave her a hefty kick yet again. "How dare you keep her at a place like that?!"
