It wasn't looking good for Adam, and Angela knew that even if she tried to protect him, if her grandfather willed it, she wouldn't be able to go against him. However, when she turned to look at Adam, his red eyes were steady and calm as they looked directly at the family head without fear.

[Big risks, big rewards] thought Adam to himself, knowing that it was the best option that he had.
