Ambush of the Quadruplets novel Chapter 686

Chapter 686 Emmeline Is Not Gullible

The road splits in two from this point onwards. Yet, none of them would lead to Janie’s hometown regardless of which road Emmeline ends up taking.

Where on earth was Emma headed to then?

Just then, Benjamin received a call from Abel.

“Benjamin, how did it go?”

“For now, I think Emma might have been trying to look for Janie before she went missing.” Benjamin stood by the roadside in the darkness. “However, the town where Emma’s vehicle was last seen had no roads leading to Janie’s hometown.”

“Perhaps…” Abel surmised, “Janie might have asked Emma to meet her somewhere in that town?”

“Then, I’ll try looking around the town first.” Benjamin replied, “Hopefully, I’ll be able to find new clues

about Emma’s whereabouts.”

“Thank you. I’m already at the airport now. I’ll be leaving on my private jet soon. I should be able to reach Struyria around dawn,” Abel said.

“Mhm. Let’s decide where to meet up after you return home.” Benjamin nodded slightly.

After ending the call, Benjamin made his way to the town center. Unfortunately, it was already very late into the night. The streets were mostly quiet and deserted as most of the town residents had turned in for the night.

Since they had missed the time to start their search, Benjamin had his driver park the car at a corner of the street. Then, he and Eric got out of the car to smoke.

As it grew chillier at night, Eric tried to persuade Benjamin to take a nap inside the car. However, Benjamin stubbornly refused to do it.

He gave a slight cough and answered in a hoarse voice, “How could I rest when we still had no clue as to where Emma had gone to now?”

“Don’t worry, Mr. Benjamin.” Eric said, “Once all these shops on the streets are open for business in the morning, we’ll visit every single one of them and ask their owners if they’ve seen or heard from Ms. Louise.”

“Mhm.” Benjamin replied, “If Janie and Emma had made an arrangement to meet here, they would probably have reserved a place at a diner or a restaurant. We’ll check those places first thing in the morning.”

After a moment of hesitation, Eric asked, “The thing is… If Ms. Louise was just trying to meet up with Ms. Janie, why couldn’t we reach Ms. Louise on the phone then?”

Benjamin massaged the center of his brows. “That’s what I’m feeling anxious about as well. I’m worried that someone had lured Emma into their trap by impersonating Janie.”

Eric fell silent upon hearing Benjamin’s words.

Mr. Benjamin and I know that that would only mean bad news for Ms. Louise.
