“Waylon?” Benjamin was surprised.
“Mr. Adelmar.” Abel recalled that Adelmar Island would send Emmeline’s dowry.
Waylon said coldly, “How could you two even have the nerve to show your faces before me?”
Abel and Benjamin felt a sinking feeling in their stomachs, realizing Waylon knew everything.
They could not help but lower their head.
“I brought Emma’s dowry, but I heard from Sam that something happened to Emma as soon as I arrived.”
“Waylon.” Benjamin spoke, “This is my fault. I have failed to protect Emma.”
“You, Sam, and Daisy can’t shirk your responsibility for this!” Waylon exclaimed sternly.
Benjamin and Sam hung their heads. They were at a loss for words.
Waylon scowled, looking at Abel. “What should I say to my brother-in-law in this situation?”
Abel was speechless.
Abel felt deeply ashamed for his failure in protecting Emmeline, so he would listen to whatever Waylon said.
“Waylon…”
“Abel.” Waylon sneered, “Don’t trouble yourself further if you’re unfit to be Emma’s husband.”
“Waylon.” Abel narrowed his eyes, and he raised his head.
“I feel deeply responsible for what happened to Emma, but I will find her. Even if it costs me my life, I won’t give up!”
“How can I trust you?” Waylon grunted coldly with his hands behind his back, “Do you remember the fatal gunshot wound on Emma last time? Also, where is Emma now?”
Abel’s heart ached, and he furrowed his brow.
Waylon was right. Abel felt like slapping himself because of that.
“Waylon.” Benjamin said, “How can we blame Abel for this? None of us wanted anything to happen to Emma!”
“Benedict!” Waylon looked over with a cold gaze, “Why are you siding with an outsider?”
