Chapter 620 Alana Saves Evelyn âSo whoâs the mastermind?â asked Abel. âThey wouldnât have any reason to hurt Emmeline unless someone asked them to.â
âItâs Evelyn,â said Luca. âThat fatso told me.â
âEvelyn?â Abelâs face fell, and murder filled his eyes.
âBut I couldnât find her anywhere,â Luca added, âIâve gone through the surveillance footage. A masked woman saved her.â
âIs that so?â Abel asked, âDo you know who her savior is?â
âNot sure,â said Luca. âBut itâs probably another customer of this place.â
âI see.â Abel nodded. âWe can talk about that later. For now, I need you to delete all the surveillance footage just in case the paparazzis try to use anything against Emmeline.â
âDone. I saw Evelyn spiking the madamâs drink.â
âDamn her!â Abel clenched his fists. âYouâre done for, Evelyn!â
âThe madam destroyed her,â said Luca. âAnd she pricked her too. Evelynâs gonna live in agony for the rest of her life.â
âWhich she should.â Abel gnashed his teeth. âBlacklist all the paparazzis who got involved in this. And send that fatso to Arturia.â
âYes, sir.â Luca went away to do his job.
Emmeline woke up at dusk. Abel had been right beside her all this time. She woke up feeling weak and sore.
Abel pinched her cheek, pretending to be angry. âHappy now? Do you want more? You almost gobbled me up.â
Emmeline covered the blanket over her head. She could still remember how⦠how indecent she was a while ago.
Abel chuckled and tried to pull the blanket down, but he failed. Emmeline wouldnât let go.
âMy gods, I canât believe I did that. This is so embarrassing.â
Abel flicked her forehead through the blanket. âIf I hadnât got there on time, youâd probably be grabbing any man you could find.â
âI wouldnât,â muttered Emmeline. âI still had my consciousness.â
âBecause the drug hadnât worked its full magic,â said Abel. âYou almost stripped yourself naked.â
Emmeline screamed. âPlease, stop! Iâm gonna kill myself!â
âPlease donât.â Abel hugged her. âYou worked me to the bone, though. I can still feel it in my back.â
âIâll whip something up when we get back.â Emmeline poked her head out and kissed Abelâs chin. She chuckled. âThanks for the help, honey.â
âI donât mind. It was fun,â he whispered. âSo, do you want another go?â
âPlease, no.â Emmeline covered herself up again.
Abel laughed. âJust kidding. Now get up. Iâll shower you, then weâll go home.â
Emmeline poked her head out again and blinked. âJust a shower?â
âYep.â Abel pulled her out of the blanket. âNow come on. Youâre sticky.â
Emmeline wrapped her arms around his neck as he took her into the bathroom. Then she showered.
She couldnât wear her clothes anymore, so Abel covered her in his coat and took her into the car.
Alana took Evelyn into the guest room of Avalan and let her lay on the bed.
âThank you,â said Evelyn. Her cheeks were swollen, making it hard to speak.
âDonât have to say that.â Alana took her mask off. âI was going to stay away, until I saw Emmeline coming out of that room.â
âYou know her?â
âKnow her?â Alana growled, âI want to kill her!â
Evelyn gasped. âWho are you, and why do you want to kill her?â
