“That’s right.” Moon agreed, “We’re not leaving with anyone!”

“Mhm!” Star nodded. “We’re staying here with Mommy!”

Daisy and Sam had also come to the second floor after hearing all the commotion. Both of them seemed a little flustered to find those two men fighting to look after the kids.

Daisy asked hurriedly, “Mr. Abel and Mr. Benjamin, how did it go? Do you have any news regarding Ms. Louise?”

“That’s right. Did something happen to her?” Sam asked in an anxious voice.

Before Benjamin and Abel were able to offer an answer, the children started asking questions as well.

“What happened to Mommy? Where is she? We want Mommy back!”

“It’s alright.” Abel patted gently on Sun’s and Star’s backs to calm them down. “Mommy will be alright. I’ll find a way to save Mommy.”

“That’s right.” Benjamin said, “I promise that I’ll bring your mommy back to you guys. The three of you should calm down first.”

“Does that mean Mommy is missing?!”

“Mommy!”

The three children broke down and began to wail miserably.

“I want Mommy!”

“She might be in danger!”

“Where are you, Mommy…”

“What’s happened to Ms. Louise?” Sam was feeling increasingly worried.

“Yeah. The two of you should put the matter about the children aside for now and focus on saving Ms. Louise!” Daisy said.

“Emma should be safe for the time being.” Abel had a stony look in his eyes. “The culprit has taken her away with another purpose in mind.”

Benjamin explained, “Still, we should move the kids to somewhere safe for the sake of their safety.”

Daisy asked, “Do you know where she is then?”

Sam said fervently, “We’ll go there and try to bring her out safely!”

“We don’t know where she is at the moment. All of you need to be a little patient. That person would probably contact me and Mr. Benjamin soon,” Abel replied.

“Emma is probably not their target.” Benjamin knitted his brows. “That person’s targets were most likely me and Mr. Abel.”

Sam and Daisy were flummoxed by the sudden turn of events.

“To be safe, we should move the Sun, Moon, and Star to somewhere with maximum security.” Abel said, “Let’s head to the Precipice now.”

“No. We should go to Glenbrook,” Benjamin retorted.

“The Precipice!”

“Glenbrook!”

“That’s enough.” Daisy stopped them from arguing over the matter again. “If this were done by someone who’s trying to bring the two of you down, could you perhaps make a guess about who they might be?”

Abel responded, “I don’t think any of our business competitors would try to go up against the Ryker Group and the Adelmar Group at the same time.”

“That means this is probably related to personal vengeance.” Benjamin surmised, “Could it be Adrien’s doing?”

“That guy?” Abel scoffed, “He probably wants to do something like this all along, yet he doesn’t have the nerve to do it.”

“Who else could it be?”

“That reminds me.” Abel replied, “Adrien might not have the nerve to do it, but Adam would.”

“Are you saying that Adam is doing this for Adrien?”

“This is just speculation on my part. However, if Emma has fallen into his hands…”

Benjamin’s face hardened at that instant. “That’s bad news for us since Adam is a dangerous and secretive man.”

“Mhm.” Abel said, “He’s smart, cunning, and cruel. It’s also very difficult to predict what he might do since he doesn’t stick to the conventional ways of doing things.”

On the other hand, those three children had a rough understanding of what happened to Emmeline after hearing the conversation between the adults. They had stopped crying at that point.

Sun started, “We’ll be good and listen to the adults. Daddy and Uncle Benjamin, you need to hurry and save Mommy.”

Moon said, “Then, we should hide somewhere safe so that Daddy and Uncle Benjamin wouldn’t have to worry about our safety.”

“Let’s go to the Precipice then.” Star concluded, “We know the place well. Also, Daddy is good at cooking!”

Sun and Moon nodded in agreement.

Benjamin remained silent upon hearing Star’s final remarks.

I know how to cook too, but I only know how to cook noodles…

“We should head to the Precipice then.” Abel looked at Benjamin. “If you still feel worried, you can station some of your bodyguards at my mansion.”
