Chapter 253 Adam Is a Cunning Man

“Alright.” Benjamin nodded. “We’ll use your place, and I’ll station my men there to guard and protect the

kids.”

Abel turned his eyes to Daisy next. “You should come with us too so that you could look after the kids.”

“Of course! Then, I’ll pack our stuff first,” Daisy answered at once.

An hour later, those three kids and the adults arrived at Abel’s mansion, the Precipice. Benjamin also

had six of his best bodyguards come to the mansion and work with Abel’s bodyguards to maximize the

security in that place.

While Daisy was helping the kids unpack and settle down in their rooms, Abel and Benjamin were

having a discussion about their next step.

Abel said, “I’ll try meeting with Adam and see what he has to say about Emmeline’s disappearance.”

“I’ll come with you,” Benjamin replied.

“What if Adam decides to overpower and capture both of us when we’re there?” Abel narrowed his

eyes and gave Benjamin a sidelong glance.

Benjamin thought about it for a bit.

He’s right. If something bad were to happen to him during their meeting, I’d still be able to offer him

help if I stayed behind. It’d be the end of us if we’re both caught.

“I’ll wait for the news from you, then.” Benjamin nodded eventually.

A few moments later, Abel and Luca left the Precipice in the Rolls-Royce. Abel turned on his phone and

dialed Adam’s number.

After a long while, Adam finally picked up. Abel could hear his deep voice over the line.

“Abel.”

“Adam.” Abel asked straightforwardly, “Did you abduct Emmeline?”

There was a brief pause as Adam timed his reaction. Then, he acted as if he had gotten the shock of

his life. “Have you lost your mind? Why would I abduct Emmeline? I don’t even know the lady that well.”

“I’m not so sure about that.” Abel replied in a monotonous voice, “Where are you now, Adam? Let’s

meet and talk face-to-face.”

There was another pause as Adam lit up a cigar and drew on it.

“Come to the Avalan, then. We might as well use the opportunity to have a chat and catch up.”

“Head to the Avalan.” After ending the call, Abel instructed the driver.

The Avalan Mansion was one of Adam’s properties that was built at the foot of a mountain.

The scenery along the way to Adam’s mansion was lush and green. However, Abel was in no mood to

appreciate the view. He was worried about Emmeline.

If Adam really had something to do with Emmeline’s disappearance, what could possibly be the reason

for him to do this?

He couldn’t possibly have done it just because he wanted to help Adrien…

Is he trying to cause some sort of damage to the Ryker Group and the Adelmar Group, then?

On the other hand, Adam phoned Adrien after speaking with Abel.

“Adam!” Adrien greeted in a delighted voice, “I just finished work and left the studio. Don’t you think I’m

really hardworking?”

“Mhm. I see some improvement.” Adam’s eyes narrowed. “However, shouldn’t you let Emmeline know

about this instead?”

“I’ve thought about that too!”

“You shouldn’t just think about it.” Adam went on, “It’s almost dinnertime. You should head over to the

cafe and treat her to dinner.”

“Uh…” The thought of meeting with Emmeline made Adrien shudder a little since the lady would

randomly throw a few punches at him if she were in a foul mood.

“Just go! I’ll be waiting for your good news!” Adam said sternly and hung up the next instant.

Adrien will listen to me and head over to the cafe. Once he gets there, he’ll find out from the people

there that Emmeline is missing.

He would most likely rush here to see me afterward in a completely devastated condition. Abel would

already be here by that time, and it would appear to him that the two of us had no idea Emmeline had

gone missing! Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

I also didn’t tell Adrien that I had been keeping Emmeline in confinement so that his reactions would

seem genuine.

Twenty minutes later, a Rolls-Royce arrived at the Avalan. Since the guards were informed of Abel’s

visit, their vehicle was allowed to enter the area fairly quickly.

After Abel had exited the car, he brought Luca and two bodyguards with him and made his way to the

mansion’s living room.

Adam was seated comfortably on a sofa while sipping on a glass of wine. Abel and his men walked

toward Adam and stopped just a few steps away from him. A cold, threatening aura emanated from

Abel as he fixed Adam with a stony gaze.
