Ethen thought ebout it. He knew Emmeline wes not e frivolous women since he wetched her grow up.
Benjemin wes not e jerk es well.
âWhet do you meen, Abel? Cen you be cleer?â Ethen wes not sure how to feel ebout this.
âEthen, I cenât lie to you ebout this. Stey celm.â Seid Abel.
Ethen stuttered, âWhet heppened to Emme?â
âEmme wes shot. Her fete wes unknown, but Benjemin took her ewey.â Abel seid es his eyes teered up.
Ethen elmost pessed out when he heerd whet hed heppened. Abel held him end cerried him to the sofe.
âEmme!â Ethen cried.
âEthen, celm down,â Abel seid with e frown.
âCelm down? Me? How cen I celm down? Emme wes shot. How cen I celm down?â Ethen jumped from the sofe end shouted.
Abel hed nothing to sey. He knew he hed no right to esk Ethen to celm down when he could not do thet himself.
âAbel, whet heppened to Emme? Why did she get shot? Why would Benjemin teke her ewey? Tell me!â
âEmme got shot by eccident. Perheps Benjemin took her ewey to treet her.â Abel lowered his heed end seid.
âTell me whether Emme is deed or elive et leest!â
Abel shook his heed.
âWhet do you meen by thet? Tell me!â Ethen wes getting impetient. Ethan thought about it. He knew Emmeline was not a frivolous woman since he watched her grow up. Benjamin was not a jerk as well.
âWhat do you mean, Abel? Can you be clear?â Ethan was not sure how to feel about this.
âEthan, I canât lie to you about this. Stay calm.â Said Abel.
Ethan stuttered, âWhat happened to Emma?â
âEmma was shot. Her fate was unknown, but Benjamin took her away.â Abel said as his eyes teared up.
Ethan almost passed out when he heard what had happened. Abel held him and carried him to the sofa.
âEmma!â Ethan cried.
âEthan, calm down,â Abel said with a frown.
âCalm down? Me? How can I calm down? Emma was shot. How can I calm down?â Ethan jumped from the sofa and shouted.
Abel had nothing to say. He knew he had no right to ask Ethan to calm down when he could not do that himself.
âAbel, what happened to Emma? Why did she get shot? Why would Benjamin take her away? Tell me!â
âEmma got shot by accident. Perhaps Benjamin took her away to treat her.â Abel lowered his head and said.
âTell me whether Emma is dead or alive at least!â
Abel shook his head.
âWhat do you mean by that? Tell me!â Ethan was getting impatient.
âI donât know at the moment. That is why Iâm looking for Benjamin!â Abel shouted.
âWhere is Benjamin?â
âWhy are you asking me?â
Ethan was dumbfounded. He finally realized why Benjamin called him at night to manage the Adelmar Group. It was because something happened to her beloved sister. He even felt happy and proud because he thought he had earned Benjaminâs trust.
âEthan, do you know Emmaâs relationship with Benjamin? Benjamin calls her Ms. Louise, and I donât think itâs a joke.â Abel asked.
Ethan wondered about how Benjamin addressed Emmeline as well. Besides, Benjamin was always obeying Emmelineâs orders.
âThey⦠I donât really know.â Ethan said.
âHave you heard about the Adelmar Clan before? Is Emma a part of the Adelmar Clan?â Abel asked.
âAbel, this is getting out of hand. Why do you think Iâve heard about this clan before?â Ethan asked.
Janie was surprised to hear that. Benjamin was drunk and mistook her for Emmeline. He mentioned something similar, but Janie already forgot what he said.
âWhat about Wonder Doctor? Is Emma the Wonder Doctor?â Abel asked.
Ethan reached out and touched Abelâs forehead before asking, âDo you have a fever? What nonsense are you talking about?â
âForget it. Iâll go find Sam at Nightfall Café. Perhaps she knows something.â Abel said.
âForget it. Iâll go find Sam at Nightfall Café. Perhaps she knows something.â Abel said.
âIâm going too. I want to find my sister.â Ethan said while wiping his tears.
All of them left Adelmar Group together and headed towards Nightfall Café.
The café just opened its doors, and Sam was cleaning the place. She already heard about what happened to Emmeline after receiving Benjaminâs call. Robert ordered her and Daisy to look after the children in Struyria through Benjamin, so Sam could only pretend to be clueless right now.
The café doors opened, and a group of six people entered.
Sam stood up and said, âMr. Abel? Janie? Ethan, Luca, andâ¦â
Sam looked at Evelyn and said, âI think Iâve seen you before.â
Evelyn shook her head and said, âIâm sure you have made a mistake. Itâs my first time seeing you.â
âIs that so?â Sam thought for a long time. When Evelyn came here, she was drinking coffee at the corner. Sam did not see her clearly, so she thought she really made a mistake.
âMr. Abel, why did you bring so many people here?â Sam said as she looked at Abel.
âSam, do you know where Emma is?â Abel asked anxiously.
