Chapter 260 Who’s Your Sister?
Adam turned his eyes to Emmeline. “You should be more careful with who you put your faith in nexttime. There have been many instances when a person promises one thing and does the opposite.”
Emmeline just stared at the man silently.
Suddenly, Adam caught her by the chin. “By the way, how do you know how to make the antidote forVampire Dust? Do you happen to know Waylon Adelmar?”
Why is he bringing up Waylon too?
Emmeline was instantly reminded of Adam.
Could he really be Adam Ryker?
It’s a shame I have no way of confirming it. I’ve only had a meal with him once. I don’t even rememberhis face that well.
The only thing I do remember is that Adam sports a mustache. Unfortunately, the mask that the man iswearing completely covers the part above the man’s lips, so I can’t tell if this man has a mustache ornot.
“Who’s Waylon Adelmar? I haven’t heard of that name before,” Emmeline replied monotonously.
“Don’t try to play dumb with me now!” Adam continued, “Only the Adelmar Clan knows how to make theVampire Dust antidote. That meant you would know him somehow!”
“I’ve already said that I don’t. What am I supposed to do when you refuse to believe me?” Emmeline letout a small sigh.
Adam pushed her away. Instead of trying to make Emmeline submit to his wishes, Adam was growinga little worried.
If Emmeline really is somehow related to the Adelmar Clan, that would mean trouble for me.
I could still recall what I had to go through back when I tried to steal the formula for the Vampire Dustfrom Waylon.
If Emmeline turned out to be a member of the Adelmar Clan, wouldn’t that mean that Waylon mightlearn about my Canary Project sooner or later?
That man might come looking for Emmeline once he found out that I had taken her. Not only that, hemight burn my whole place down after rescuing Emmeline…
Adam’s brows knitted.
I should probably change the scale of the event for the Canary Project this time. I was planning to invitesome of our foreign guests to join the auction at first. However, I should just hold the auction for localguests only this time.
That way, I would be able to minimize the risk of us catching Waylon’s attention. Also, I’d still be able tomove ahead with my plan to crush Abel and Benjamin.
Five days had passed, and no one had managed to find any new clues about Emmeline’swhereabouts.
In the afternoon, Abel went to see Benjamin at his office to discuss what they should do then.
At the same time, Janie had arrived at the Adelmar Group’s building. She had just dropped by NightfallCafe and learned that Emmeline had been missing for a few days.
What on earth?! Why haven’t I heard about this from Benjamin?
Now that I think about it, he’s been showing up at work with a grim expression. Everyone was beingextra careful around him for the past few days. He must have acted that way because he was worriedsick about Emmeline!
If someone as capable as Benjamin has no way of finding her, does that mean that Emmeline hasfallen into the hands of someone extremely powerful and formidable?!
That won’t do! We must hurry and find Emmeline!
As she stepped into the elevator, Janie happened to notice Ethan, who was rushing to take the elevatoras well.
Janie was still unaware that Emmeline was Ethan’s younger sister.
“Mr. Ethan, why are you in such a rush? You’re sweating a lot!”
“My sister is missing.” Ethan used a handkerchief to wipe his forehead. “I need to see Mr. Benjaminand ask for his help.”
“Your sister?” Janie had a sudden realization. “You have Louise as your last name as well. Is EmmelineLouise your sister?”
“Mhm. She’s my younger sister.” Ethan nodded.
“So, she’s affiliated with the Louise Corporation! No wonder I sense a special aura about her,” Janiereplied.
Soon enough, both of them reached the highest floor and headed for the CEO’s office. However, Ms.Plummer stopped them from entering the room.
“I’m sorry. Mr. Benjamin is meeting an important guest.”
“An important guest?” Ethan replied anxiously, “The matter about my sister is far more important!”
“Your sister?” Ms. Plummer scoffed, “Might I ask who she is?”novelbin
