Ambush of the Quadruplets novel Chapter 25

“It went well,” said Abel on the phone while driving, “She believes everything I said and agrees to rent out a room to me.”

“Are you sure you want to go undercover to investigate this?” asked Luca, “I am worried it would be too hard on you, Mr. Abel.”

“I have to do this on my own,” Abel was determined, “I need to find out if she is the Wonder Doctor. I cannot fail Granddad.”

As the call ended, Luca wondered briefly if finding out Emmeline’s true identity was Abel’s sole objective of going undercover. It had to be something more.

At the same time, Emmeline made a call to her assistant. “Benjamin, could you please get me a second-hand electric bicycle?”

Benjamin was dumbfounded. “Ms. Louise, may I ask why? I am sure you can always use any of the 20 luxury cars under Adelmar Group.”

“No, I can’t!” Emmeline exclaimed, “I need an electric bicycle and it has to be a used bicycle. Get me one as soon as possible!”

Following Emmeline’s instructions, Benjamin brought a second-hand electric bicycle before Abel moved in. The electric bicycle looked like it had been through a lot.

“Thank you!” Emmeline was satisfied with the used electric bicycle. She turned to Benjamin, “You should leave now before Abel is here.”

“Abel? Why would he be here?” Benjamin raised an eyebrow. Emmeline explained the situation, and Benjamin frowned. “You should be careful, Ms. Louise. I do not think he is to be trusted.”

“I asked you for this electric bicycle precisely because I don’t trust him,” Emmeline smirked, “He will not find out anything he thinks he will. I will make sure of his failure and disappointment.”

Benjamin nodded, “You are as brilliant as ever, Ms. Louise. Nonetheless, please take care of yourself and don’t get hurt.”

“Don’t worry about it,” said Emmeline confidently. Benjamin smiled and left through a shortcut.
