Janie nodded. “Yes, and there’s also Mr. Benjamin.”
“Ms. Janie, please continue,” Abel said, his expression becoming serious.
Luca was also listening.
“We were eating at Fifteen Avery Park that night. Mr. Abel, do you remember?” Janie said.
“Sure,” Abel said, “It was only a few days ago.”
“Well, you and Benjamin both drank too much that night,” Janie continued.
Abel nodded.
“Benjamin is more drunk than you.”
“Yes.” Abel nodded.
“Then I sent Benjamin back to Glenbrook and helped him upstairs to his bedroom,” Janie continued.
Abel was listening silently.
Suddenly Janie blushed with her head down. “Mr. Benjamin called me Emmeline and said many affectionate words.”
Abel made a sound of agreement.
He knew that Benjamin loved Emmeline.
“Mr. Benjamin hugged me and cried. He said…”
Janie sighed in relief, “I know he mistook me for Emmeline. He said he regretted bringing Emmeline to Struyria and never thought that Emmeline would fall in love with you at first sight. He deeply regrets it.”
Abel remained silent, but he was anxious. It seemed that there was a deep connection between Emmeline and Benjamin.
“Benjamin said he wanted to take Emmeline back to Reykjavík and Adelmar Island,” Janie continued.
“Reykjavík? Adelmar Island?” Abel stood up abruptly.
Janie nodded, “Yes, I only recalled it last night. I was upset when it happened, so I didn’t remember it then.”
“So, you mean Benjamin took Emma to Osea?”
Janie replied, “That’s what it seems like. And an old man also went into the emergency room that night.”
Suddenly, Abel frowned because he was thinking about Adelmar Island.
“Mr. Abel, what are you thinking?” Janie asked.
Abel was thinking about the Adelmar Clan. Oscar and Adam set up a trap for Emmeline because they suspected that she was from the Adelmar Clan.
It seemed that they were right!
Abel seemed to have thought of something. That night, Benjamin was so drunk he might do something disgraceful to Janie.
Abel nodded, “Okay. I’ll wait for you. Go home, pack up, and come over immediately.”
Janie immediately picked up the car keys and left.
Kendra prepared a delicious meatloaf while inadvertently eavesdropping on the part of the conversation between Abel and Janie.
Kendra said, “Mr. Abel, you should eat something first. It could be problematic if your body becomes fatigued.”
Abel nodded, “I will eat some more.”
Kendra said, “Then I will make some buns. They are soft and easy to digest.”
“Okay.” Abel suddenly seemed to have an appetite.
Two hours later, Janie returned.
She was wearing sportswear and carrying a backpack.
The helicopter was also ready.
The driver sent several men to the helipad owned by the Ryker family.
Kendra ran out of the gate, “Mr. Abel, take your medicine!”
The Rolls-Royce had already roared away.
