Chapter 254
Chapter 254 Was It Adam’s Doing?
“Tsk tsk!” Adam stroked his mustache. “What’s with the grouchy look on your face? You’re here to seeyour brother, right? It’s not like you’re here to pick a fight.”
“I don’t have the time for useless chatters, Adam.” Abel had a frigid expression on his face. “I just wantto know if you’ve taken Emmeline away?”
“Abel.” Adam narrowed his eyes. “Why would you think that I’d do something like that? Would I wastemy time trying to bully a woman?”
“It might seem like that.” Abel gave a scoff. “However, you’re actually doing this to get back at me. I justdon’t quite understand why Benjamin York from the Adelmar Group is also being targeted in this.”
Hmph! It’s because he’s trying to woo Emmeline too!
Why did he have to fall in love with Emmeline too? There are so many beautiful women out there, yethe chooses to go after her as well. It’s entirely his fault for getting involved with her!
“I have nothing to do with it, so I’m afraid I can’t offer you the answers to your questions.” Adam slowlytook a sip of wine.
“Hah!” Abel snickered, “Still, I can’t think of anyone else other than you who’s capable of doingsomething like this.”
“You flatter me, Abel.” Adam let out a hearty laugh. “You have control over the Ryker Group nowwhereas I am enjoying my early retirement life. Don’t come and bother me with some weird nonsense.”
“Is that right?” Abel focused his gaze on Adam.
As expected of the cunning, old fox! I’ve been watching him this whole time, and he seems genuinelyunaware of Emmeline’s disappearance.
Suddenly, a voice rang from behind Abel, “Adam, I need your help!”
Abel turned slightly and saw Adrien running into the room frantically.
Adam raised his brows slightly.
He came just in time!
However, he yelled at Adrien in a displeased voice the next instant, “What is it this time? Why are youshouting helplessly like a coward?”
“I went to the cafe to see Emma, but the staff there told me that she was abducted!” Adrien replied inan anxious, rushed tone.
“I just got the news myself.” Adam said, “See. Abel is here to ask if I’ve taken her away.”
Adrien finally noticed that Abel was in the room too.
“Abel?” Adrien hurriedly went up to him. “What’s happened to Emmeline?”
“I’m looking for her too.” Abel said, “That’s why I’ve come to see Adam.”
“Adam!” Adrien threw himself at Adam. “You must help me look for Emmeline! You know a lot morepeople than I do!”
“I had planned to do that initially, but someone had suspected me to be the culprit. I think I should juststay out of this…”
“No, Adam! You can’t!” Adrien cried out miserably, “You can’t just decide to do that because of Abel.You need to help me find Emma! Otherwise, my children might lose their mom forever!”
“Hmm…” Adam knitted his brows and nodded in agreement.
“You’re right. She’s the mother to your children, after all. I can’t just stay here and do nothing about it.”
Abel had a small frown on his forehead upon hearing Adam’s words.
Was he truly not aware of what had happened to Emmeline?
Still, the Adam I know is a cunning and calculative man. He’s probably planned all this out to show methis act. It’s very likely he’s used Adrien to achieve his purpose.
An unfeeling smile played across Abel’s lips.novelbin
“Abel.” Adam began, “Do you want to work with me in locating Emmeline? Or do you prefer to workalone?”
“I prefer working alone.”
“Alright then. I wish you the best of luck.”
“Mhm.” Abel continued in an emotionless voice, “Don’t worry, Adam. Once I’ve confirmed who theculprit is, I’ll make sure to use every means necessary to crush that person and make them pay forthis.”
Adam remained silent as he stared at Abel with an indecipherable expression on his face.
Abel returned to the Precipice soon afterward. Benjamin went to see him as soon as he heard aboutAbel’s return.
“How did it go? Was it Adam who had abducted Emma?” Benjamin asked.
“I can’t tell for sure.” Abel’s face creased into a frown. “However, I couldn’t think of anyone else whowould do something like this other than him.”
“I’ve tried to track the location of Emma’s phone, and the system still indicates that it is locatedsomewhere within the Swan Lake area.” Benjamin asked, “I guess the only thing we can do now iswait?”
“We’ll be on standby and wait for now.” Abel replied, “The most important thing for us is to make surethat those people don’t try to hurt Emma.”
“D*mn it!” Benjamin clenched his fists tightly. “I’m going to tear that b*stard to bits the minute I find outwho he is!”
