âOkay,â Emmeline said, raising her chin slightly.
âI wonder what Grandad wants me here for. Any advice?â
âHmm,â Oscar gestured towards Fabian.
Fabian came over with a small tray.
Emmeline glanced at it and thought it was empty.
But Fabian said, âMs. Emmeline, please look at what this is.â
Emmeline looked into the empty tray and saw a delicate needle lying inside.
She recognized it at a glance. It was her hidden weapon.
At this moment, she still had two in her hand.
âItâs a needle,â Emmeline answered calmly, âEveryone knows that, right?â
âWhose needle is this?â Oscar asked with narrowed eyes.
âI told Adam last time,â Emmeline scratched her head and looked at Adam, âAdam, last time I showed you. Was it from that store?â
Adam was taken aback because he did not expect Emmeline to remember this.
âYou donât remember?â Emmeline said, âThen Iâll check on eBay and see if that store sells this needle.â
She looked at Oscar and said, âGrandad, how many do you want? Iâll help you place the order. Itâs not expensive. Iâll pay for it.â
Oscar did not quite understand what she was saying, âAdam, what is she saying?â
Adam said gingerly, âEmmeline said sheâd help you buy it from an online store.â
âOnline store?â Oscar frowned. âThey sell this in online stores?â
âYes?â Emmeline said thoughtfully, âI can open up eBay right now. You can choose which store you like.â
As she spoke, she took out her phone and leaned toward Oscar.
âForget it,â Oscar said, âI donât want this thing.â
Then why did you ask me whose needle this is?â Emmeline blinked her innocent eyes.
âI donât know these online stores,â Oscar said. âI just asked you directly, is this a hidden weapon from the Adelmar Clan?â
âHuh?â Emmeline bit her fingertip and widened her eyes. âWhat clan?â
âThe Adelmar Clan,â Oscar said impatiently.
Suddenly, he felt like his grandson had tricked him.
In front of him was a naive and cute little girl who did not seem to know anything.
How could she be as incredible as his grandson had told him?
âGrandad, I know about the scandalous photos posted online, but what about the Adelmar Clan?
Whatâs the news about?â
Emmeline blinked her bright eyes and turned to Adam. âAdam, can you tell me which media broke the news? I want to check it out too.â
âAdam,â Oscar glanced at him, âAre you sure?â
Adam turned to Emmeline with a cold face and said, âEmmeline, donât play dumb. Last time, I asked you. What is your relationship with Waylon Adelmar?â
âGrandad,â Emmeline pouted, âAdam is being unreasonable. I told him I donât like Dragon Oath, but he keeps asking me these questions!â
âGrandad,â Adam said, âDonât listen to her nonsense.â
âAdam, youâre being unreasonable.â Emmeline stomped her foot, âIf you want to know about Waylon, wait until I finish reading Dragon Oath, we can discuss it for three days and three nights!â
Adam was so angry that he waved his hand and said, âThree days and three nights? Forget it!â
Emmeline pouted and did not say anything.
âForget it.â Oscar impatiently waved his hand.
Adam was also annoyed. How could two ordinary steel needles bought online be considered the Adelmar Clanâs hidden weapons? This was too low-end for the Adelmar Clan.
âBut Grandad,â Adam immediately reminded him, âYou forgot about the medicine?â
âYes!â Oscar immediately nodded at Fabian.
He lost the first round, but there was still a second round.
Fabian took out the bag of herbs and showed it to Emmeline.
âI recognize this,â Emmeline said. âItâs the medicine I prepared for Auntie Julianna to treat her heart attack.â
âThis is not an ordinary folk recipe,â Oscar said sternly, âHow do you know this recipe?â
