âThatâs right. Did something happen to her?â Sam asked in an anxious voice.
Before Benjamin and Abel were able to offer an answer, the children started asking questions as well.
âWhat happened to Mommy? Where is she? We want Mommy back!â
âItâs alright.â Abel patted gently on Sunâs and Starâs backs to calm them down. âMommy will be alright.
Iâll find a way to save Mommy.â
âThatâs right.â Benjamin said, âI promise that Iâll bring your mommy back to you guys. The three of you should calm down first.â

âThatâs right.â Benjamin said, âI promise that Iâll bring your mommy back to you guys. The three of you should calm down first.â
âDoes that mean Mommy is missing?!â
âMommy!â
The three children broke down and began to wail miserably.
âI want Mommy!â
âShe might be in danger!â
âWhere are you, Mommyâ¦â
âWhatâs happened to Ms. Louise?â Sam was feeling increasingly worried.
âYeah. The two of you should put the matter about the children aside for now and focus on saving Ms. Louise!â Daisy said.
âEmma should be safe for the time being.â Abel had a stony look in his eyes. âThe culprit has taken her away with another purpose in mind.â
Benjamin explained, âStill, we should move the kids to somewhere safe for the sake of their safety.â
Daisy asked, âDo you know where she is then?â
Sam said fervently, âWeâll go there and try to bring her out safely!â
âWe donât know where she is at the moment. All of you need to be a little patient. That person would probably contact me and Mr. Benjamin soon,â Abel replied.
âEmma is probably not their target.â Benjamin knitted his brows. âThat personâs targets were most likely me and Mr Abel.â
Sam and Daisy were flummoxed by the sudden turn of events.
âTo be safe, we should move the Sun, Moon, and Star to somewhere with maximum security.â Abel said, âLetâs head to the Precipice now.â
âNo. We should go to Glenbrook,â Benjamin retorted.
âThe Precipice!â
âGlenbrook!â
âThatâs enough.â Daisy stopped them from arguing over the matter again. âIf this were done by someone whoâs trying to bring the two of you down, could you perhaps make a guess about who they might be?â
Abel responded, âI donât think any of our business competitors would try to go up against the Ryker Group and the Adelmar Group at the same time.â
âThat means this is probably related to personal vengeance.â Benjamin surmised, âCould it be Adrienâs doing?â
âThat guy?â Abel scoffed, âHe probably wants to do something like this all along, yet he doesnât have the nerve to do it.â
âWho else could it be?â
âThat reminds me.â Abel replied, âAdrien might not have the nerve to do it, but Adam would.â
âAre you saying that Adam is doing this for Adrien?â
âThis is just speculation on my part. However, if Emma has fallen into his handsâ¦â
Benjaminâs face hardened at that instant. âThatâs bad news for us since Adam is a dangerous and secretive man.â
âMhm.â Abel said, âHeâs smart, cunning, and cruel. Itâs also very difficult to predict what he might do since he doesnât stick to the conventional ways of doing things.â
On the other hand, those three children had a rough understanding of what happened to Emmeline after hearing the conversation between the adults.
They had stopped crying at that point.
Sun started, âWeâll be good and listen to the adults. Daddy and Uncle Benjamin, you need to hurry and save Mommy.â
Moon said, âThen, we should hide somewhere safe so that Daddy and Uncle Benjamin wouldnât have to worry about our safety.â
âLetâs go to the Precipice then.â Star concluded, âWe know the place well. Also, Daddy is good at cooking!â
Sun and Moon nodded in agreement.
Benjamin remained silent upon hearing Starâs final remarks.
+know how to cook too, but I only know how to cook noodlesâ¦
âWe should head to the Precipice then.â Abel looked at Benjamin. âIf you still feel worried, you can station some of your bodyguards at my mansion.â
