“Abel!” Adam quickly pulled his feet away from the side table. “Zahn is your nephew, Abel. Can’t you find a way to resolve this
peacefully?”
“He was driving without a license, involved in a hit and run, and suspected of stealing a car!” Abel’s voice carried a tone of firm
determination. “Do you think I have the authority to decide whether he should face legal consequences or not?”
“I don’t have that authority!” Adam’s bitterness was evident. ‘But you do, Abel. You have the final say.”
“Hmph!” Abel sneered. “You overestimate my influence. I don’t control the law.”
“But Zahn claims you have close connections with those high–ranking officials. They even refer to you as “brothers“!”
“Just because we have a close relationship doesn’t mean I have the freedom to manipulate the law,” Abel firmly stated. “The
immediate priority is for Zahn to surrender himself promptly. I will handle the aftermath.”
“If Zahn surrenders, won’t he just end up in prison?” Adam’s furrowed eyebrows reflected his concern. “Moreover, the car
belongs to Emmeline. You need to take care of this.”
Slap!
“Aren’t you still responsible for this? Otherwise, I will come to you!” Adam’s tone held a touch. of despair.
“Then let him surrender. Otherwise, no one can save him!”
“My dear son!” Adam’s wife found her voice, expressing distress. She sank beneath the table, lamenting, “Zahn cannot go to jail.
How will I manage if you do!”
Abel’s face paled. “If you must cry, do it outside!” he said angrily.
The security guard at the doorheard the commotion and escorted Adam’s wife out, supported by Alana, who coincidentally
arrived.
Alana had met Adam and his wife the previous day. In Adam’s perception, Alana was his sister–in–law and got along well with
Abel.
“Oh, what happened?” Alána feigned concern.
“Abel is ungrateful.” Adam’s wife sniffled. “I took care of him when he was young, and now he forgets!”
“Abel has the Altney Steel family supporting him. How could he remember you?” Alana whispered.
“Are you talking about Emmeline?” Adam’s wife said. “I heard Abel spoils her endlessly. The car Zahn drove was bought for her.”
people!”
“What do you mean by ‘control?” Adam’s wife widened her eyes. “Explain.”
Alana glanced around cautiously and whispered, “I used to have a good relationship with Abel, but then Emmeline intervened.
Now he doesn’t acknowledge me!”
“You need to fight for him!” Adam’s wife raised her voice. “Their relationship won’t last. According to their family history, they-”
“Lower your voice,” Alana interrupted, covering her mouth. “I can’t fight for him. Abel is determined to be with Emmeline!”
“That’s unacceptable!” Adam’s wife said. “It will create chaos in our family!”
“But Abel is already devoted to Emmeline. They’ve even taken engagement photos!”
“I’ve seen them!” Adam’s wife exclaimed. “I thought she was a celebrity when Adam showed me. Clearly, she has captured his
heart!”
“As long as both of you are aware.” Alana inwardly sneered, feeling it was enough, and left.
In the office, Adam appeared anxious. “Abel, we’re brothers. For the sake of our mother, let Zahn go.”
“Despite everything, you remain stubborn!” Abel sighed. “I’m not unwilling to let Zahn off. He has broken the law, and if he
doesn’t surrender, no one can help him!”
“Just inform the authorities, and Zahn will be fine!”
“Let me be clear one last time! Abel’s patience was wearing thin. “I won’t pursue the car theft matter, and I’ll compensate the
victim myself. If Zahn surrenders, he’ll face a shorter sentence, perhaps around a year. But if he doesn’t, it could be three to
seven years. You need to decide.”.
