Chapter 914 How the Tables Have Turned
"Mm." Benjamin nodded.
"You should go then. Don't worry. I'll be fine," Janie said.
"Mm." Benjamin stood up.
He wanted to go to Ryker Group to tell Abel about the phone call.
The previous owner of the Imperial Palace had revealed himself. This was the perfect opportunity tocatch him.
Benjamin arrived at Ryker Group forty minutes later.
Abel had just returned to his office from a meeting. He was sitting on his chair and drinking a glass ofwater.
When he saw Benjamin come in, he poured a glass of water for him and sat down on the sofa.
Then, he handed a cigarette to him.
They were not regular smokers, but they did not mind smoking when the occasion was right. Thatmade the conversation flow easier.
Benjamin took the cigarette and picked up the lighter on the coffee table.
Abel casually blew a smoke ring. "You suddenly came here. I'm sure you have something important."
"Yes, neither of us has much free time after all," Benjamin said while taking a puff. "I've encounteredsomething pretty interesting, and I'd like to discuss it with Emma and you."
"Emma…" Abel shot a glance at the clock on the wall. "She's probably still in bed."
Benjamin narrowed his gaze. He understood what Abel meant.
Now that Abel's Deathly Desire was cured, it was no surprise what they did last night.
Abel was probably declaring his dominance over Emmeline to Benjamin.
"You can tell Emma later," Benjamin said.
"What is it? Stop beating around the bush," Abel said.
"The owner of the Imperial Palace," Benjamin said, "I mean, the previous owner of the Imperial Palace.He gave me a call earlier."
Abel immediately straightened his back. "What did you say?"
"Heheh," Benjamin chuckled. "He's asking the Wonder Doctor to cure his Living Agony."
"Hahaha! He's pretty desperate by now!" Abel could not help but burst out laughing.
"Isn't that so? How the tables have turned!" Benjamin said.
Abel narrowed his eyes. "I'll have to tell Emma about that."
Benjamin flicked the cigarette and continued, "More importantly, I thought the voice sounded familiar,but I can't determine who it is."
Abel frowned. "That's strange."
"I think we should take this opportunity and expose his true identity," Benjamin said.
"Mm. We'll have to plan this carefully," Abel said.
"How about this? You can disguise as the Wonder Doctor's assistant, and I'll be her bodyguard. We'llsee if we can catch him," Benjamin said.
"Sounds like a plan," Abel said. "I'll tell Emma during lunchtime. She'll set a time, and you can contactthat guy."
"Alright! That settles it!" Benjamin nodded.
After seeing Benjamin off, Abel immediately returned to The Precipice.
As expected, Emmeline was still asleep.
After the intense physical activity, they slept very late last night. In the morning, Abel fed her somewarm milk and a tart before she went back to sleep.
Abel did not want to wake her up.
However, Emmeline could sense someone staring at her.
She moaned and slowly opened her eyes. The first thing she saw was Abel's handsome face.
Abel was smiling indulgently at her.
"Hubby," Emmeline called out while stretching her arms toward him. "I want a hug." novelbin
Abel felt warm and fuzzy inside. He leaned downward and hugged her.
Her body was soft and warm in his arms. He would give up the world for that sensation.
"Did you just come back, or are you about to go to work?" Emmeline rubbed his necktie with her cheek.
"I just got back," Abel said and kissed her. "Do you want to continue sleeping?"
Emmeline blinked. "Do you mean sleeping or 'sleeping'?"
Abel felt his heart thump wildly. He pinned her on the bed and said, "Was last night not enough for you?Do you really want to tease me?"
"Ahh! Please! No!" Emmeline curled up. "I was just saying!"
"I was only joking!" Abel playfully pinched her face. "If you're not sleepy, then you should get up. I havesomething to tell you."
