The Quadruplets Are Mine? Chapter 269

“Desperation doesn’t look good on you,” said Adam as he twirled the wine glass.

“Easy for you to say since she isn’t the woman of your dreams,” retorted Adrien.

“Who said she isn’t?”

“What?”

“Oh. Pardon the slip of my tongue. I mean to say that she is my sister-in-law.”

“Then tell me how to save her already.”

“I’ll need you.” Adam helped himself to another dish.

“Me?” Adrien snorted. “I don’t have 300 million dollars and I can’t fight. How am I supposed to save Emmeline?”

“I can do something and Emmeline will be all yours,” said Adam.

“I don’t follow.”

“Sigh… I want you to play the hero,” Adam explained.

“Play the hero?” Adrien jumped. “Adam, it is the Imperial Palace we’re talking about. The guards there can get away with murders. And its owner is like a devil incarnate. How am I supposed to play the hero there?”

“You believe those rumors?” Adam couldn’t believe that was how the outsiders viewed him.

“Either way,” Adrien added. “Only a fool plays the hero in the Imperial Palace. Are you saying this so that you can inherit párt of my assets when I give my life away?”

“Jesus!” Adam smacked Adrien’s head. “You’re an idiot, you know?”

Adrien remained silent.

“Everything will be scripted. Like what we did last time in the cafe,” said Adam.
