Chapter 692 Janie Needs to Know
“What’s wrong?” It took Lewis quite a while to respond after hearing Abel’s words.
“Did something happen between you and Emma again, Abel? You can’t just say that you want to call off the wedding now. I’ve sent all the invitations to our guests already.”
“Just call off the wedding first.” Abel said, “Emma and I are still in Hudrein. We’ve run into some problems, and we won’t be able to make it back home tomorrow. We have to cancel the wedding for now.”
There was a moment of silence as Lewis considered Abel’s words.
If what he’s saying is true, then we have to call off the wedding since both of them may be stuck in Hudrein until
tomorrow.
“What kind of problem have you guys run into?” Lewis asked in a worried voice, “Do you need my help?” “No. We’ll get everything sorted out soon,” Abel replied.
“…Alright, then.” Lewis still couldn’t shake off the uneasy feeling in his heart.
“Dad, don’t let the kids find out about this. I don’t want them to worry,” Abel reminded Lewis.
“I know.”
“I’m hanging up, then.”
“Mhm.” Lewis replied, “We’ll discuss and decide on a new date for the wedding after you guys return home then.”
After he ended the call, Abel rubbed the center of his brows.
Benjamin had a downcast expression on his face as well.
They had no way of tracking Emmeline’s location since Darell was only involved up to the part of luring Emmeline to the private hospital.
“I suspected that Evelyn might have had a hand in Emmeline’s disappearance last time.” Abel surmised, “Could it be her doing again this time?”
“Is that woman really capable of doing all this?” Benjamin asked, “Moreover, we haven’t been able to find any evidence to prove her involvement in that incident. We couldn’t find the two cars and the drivers that were involved in the incident. Do you really think Evelyn has masterminded all these incidents?”
“I can’t say for sure yet.” Abel continued, “Also, these tactics were strangely similar to what Adam would do. However, I confronted Adam previously and confirmed that he had nothing to do with the incident at that
time.”
“We have many other competitors in Struyria. It’s hard to tell who’s done this within such a short amount of time,” Benjamin said.
“I’m pretty certain it’s someone we know and see quite often.” Abel said in a deep voice, “Otherwise, they wouldn’t have known about Janie. Any issue related to Janie is of top priority to Emma now.”
“Janie, would you have chosen to leave still if you knew something like this would happen to Emma?” Benjamin knitted his brows.
“You can’t blame this on Janie.” Abel tried to calm Benjamin down. “It’s just that Emmeline’s too concerned over Janie’s current condition. I understand that she doesn’t want to miss any chance of finding Janie. However, she might act recklessly sometimes since she thought she could protect herself well.”
“What should we do now?” Benjamin lowered his head. “I don’t think I can bear it if something bad has happened to Emma…”
“You’re being overly pessimistic.” Abel’s expression hardened. “I’m sure Emma will be fine. She even survived the gunshot that time!”
“I hope so too. Honestly, I’m willing to do anything to bring Emma back to us safely.” Benjamin had a determined look in his eyes.
“The same goes for me.” Abel said in a deep voice, “I’d be willing to sacrifice my life in exchange for her safety.”
“Yet, at the moment, Janie’s gone. Emma is missing. The two of us haven’t made much progress in finding them,” Benjamin said dejectedly.
There was a long pause as both men fell silent.
“Janie, if you found out that Emma’s gone missing because of you, would you come back to us?” Benjamin
muttered under his breath.
“I can’t let Emma’s efforts go to waste!” Benjamin took out his phone and declared, “You should be held responsible for this, Janie!”
“What do you mean?” Abel asked, “How is Janie responsible for any of this?”
“I’m going to tell Janie what’s happened to Emma and make her come back!”
Abel was rendered speechless by his decision.
Benjamin sent a text message to one of his secretaries.
“Janie, Emma had been abducted while she was trying to look for you. Are you happy now?”
He instructed his secretary to contact several media agencies and have them circulate the message on the internet.
Soon enough, the message started gaining more and more attention among the online and offline communities.
