Looking at the photo, Abel nodded. âYes! Number 1!â
âAdrien, Lizbeth looks a lot like me!â exclaimed Emmeline.
âItâs her then. Adrien, I met this girl before. She looks good!â Abel said again.
âEmma, what do you think?â Adrien asked, looking at Emmeline.
âWeâre trapped together in Imperial Palace before. I think sheâs good too,â replied Emmeline.
âSo, itâs her then. Shall we call her now?â Adrien asked.
Just when the three of them were talking excitedly, someone shouted, âSomeone is poisoned. Call 911.â
Hearing that, Abel opened the door and asked, âWhat happened? Whatâs going on?â
âMr. Abel, Old Mr. Ryker is looking for you. Youâd better go downstairs to take a lot. Someone was poisoned and was spitting out blood!â exclaimed the butler, Fabian Ryker.
Poisoned? Spitting out blood?
Abel felt a chill run down his spine. How could such a thing happen on such an occasion?
Without further ado, he ran downstairs to take a look.
Adrien and Emmeline followed too.
The living room was in chaos.
A middle-aged lady was lying on the floor with blood dribbling from the corner of her mouth.
Another young lady held her in her arms and cried, âMom, whatâs wrong? Are you okay?â
Seeing Abel, Oscar commanded at once, âAbel, be alert! Someone just poisoned the lady!â Looking at the photo, Abel nodded. âYes! Number 1!â
âAdrien, Lizbeth looks a lot like me!â exclaimed Emmeline.
Hearing that, Abel quickly informed Luca.
Luca gathered all the bodyguards in a hurry and searched the whole villa.
Abel squeezed his way to the middle-aged lady and squatted down to take a look. The middle-aged womanâs eyes were closed and dark red blood dribbled from the corner of her mouth. Apparently, she was being poisoned.
âWhat happened to her?â Emmeline ran over too.
âShe seems to have been poisoned!â
Emmeline quickly checked the womanâs wrist and felt that her pulse was very weak. She was dying.
âWho is so vicious to poison someone like this? My mother didnât offend anyone!â The young woman cried. âShe just had a sip of red wine and become like this.â
Red wine? Was the red wine poisoned?
Hearing that, all the guests were terrified. They put down their red wine glasses at once.
Emmeline was served a glass of red wine just now. Luckily, she did not drink it.
However, it seemed that not all red wines were poisoned. Otherwise, the middle-aged woman would not be the only one who fell to the ground.
Soon, Rykerâs family doctor arrived. He rushed over and gave the middle-aged lady a shot.
Emmeline also took out a needle from her bag and inserted it through the middle-aged womanâs vein to block her meridians. She wanted to slow down the middle-aged ladyâs blood circulation so that she could make it to the hospital.
In less than 10 minutes, the ambulance arrived. The paramedics quickly gave the middle-aged woman infusion before carrying her into the ambulance with a stretcher.
It was only until the ambulance drove away that everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Soon, the crowd dispersed.
Adamâs bodyguard was hiding in the corner, aiming at Abel.
Adam had ordered him to kill Abel in one shot. Nonetheless, Abel was squatting down with the middle-
aged woman just now and was surrounded in the crowd. The bodyguard had no chance to shoot at all.
Since the crowd had dispersed now, it was the perfect opportunity to shoot.
However, as soon as the bodyguard wanted to pull the trigger, Alana showed up.
The bodyguard was dumbfounded. What was Alana doing here?
âThe target is not Abel!â whispered Alana.
Hearing that, the bodyguard was confused. âWhoâs the target then?â
âEmmeline! Mr. Adam wants you to kill Emmeline first!â
Kill Emmeline first?
The bodyguard scowled but did not ask anything further. He would kill whomever Adam wanted him to kill.
âDo it now before itâs too late!â said Alana again.
With that, the bodyguard raised his gun and aimed at Emmeline who stood beside Abel.
