Chapter 891 Benjamin’s Decision
“I can’t make an omelet without breaking eggs, right?” Emmeline said with a smile. “All I have to do is go through the ceremony and be laughed at.”
“But won’t that affect you and Mr. Ryker a lot?” Janie said. “Have you considered how you are going to face each other in the future?”
“I’ve thought about it, but at this moment, what’s more important than curing Abel’s condition?” Emmeline said.
Janie thought for a while and nodded. “I understand. I’d do the same thing if I were you.”
“Mm. So that’s why I plan to go through with the marriage tomorrow. I’m going to tell Benjamin to make preparations.”
“I’ll go and meet him. If you call him and tell him through the phone, he’ll be worried for nothing,” Janie said.
“That’s a good idea. Thank you for offering to go to him,” Emmeline said.
Janie nodded and stood up. “I’ll be going then.”
“Mm.”
After Janie left, Emmeline slowly exhaled.
Everything will be settled tomorrow!
Janie left Nightfall Café and went to Adelmar Group.
At the secretaries’ office, Joey said that Benjamin had already left.
“He’s gone?” Janie glanced at her wristwatch. “It’s still early, isn’t it?”
“I don’t know where he went. The CEO doesn’t report to me, after all,” Joey said.
“I’ll go and look for him then,” Janie said and walked toward the elevator.
She wanted to look for Benjamin not because of Emmeline’s message but because she was worried about him.
When she came to Adelmar Group to return the things, she overheard Waylon and Benjamin’s conversation.
She heard Benjamin say that he was willing to destroy his face to ensure Emmeline’s safety.
The mere thought of it horrified Janie.
If Mr. York isn’t in the office, could he have gone somewhere to do the deed?
The elevator went to the underground parking lot, and Janie went inside her car.
While she turned the ignition, she dialed Benjamin’s number.
The phone rang many times before it was answered. Janie’s palms were starting to sweat.
“Yes? Janie?” Benjamin said.
“Where are you?” Janie sounded flustered.
“Why?”
“I suddenly remembered I have something important to tell you. I need to meet you now.”
“I’m busy,” Benjamin said. “If you can’t tell me over the phone, I’ll have to meet you another day.”
“Tell me where you are now.”
The panic in Janie’s heart rose. She was almost certain that Benjamin was preparing to destroy his face.
Benjamin did not say anything. He immediately hung up.
Janie’s heart sank.
Don’t do that, Benjamin! Don’t! It’s not fair to you!
But where could he be now?
Janie’s heart was thumping hard.
She thought for a while and decided to call Yvonne, the caretaker of Glenbrook.
When Janie was in the hospital, Yvonne had taken care of her. That was why she had Yvonne’s number.
The call was soon picked up.
“Ms. Eastwood?”
“Yvonne, is Mr. York in Glenbrook?” Janie tried hard to sound calm.
“Yes, he came back not too long ago. He seemed disturbed by something, and he went into the study. I asked him what he wanted for dinner, but he did not reply,” Yvonne said.
“I’ll go over now, but don’t tell him,” Janie said.
Yvonne nodded. “Alright. I’m also worried about him. You should come over and make sure he’s okay.”
After the call ended, Janie floored the gas pedal and sped out of the parking lot. She arrived at Glenbrook half an hour later.
Meanwhile, Benjamin was sitting in his study. He held a mirror in one hand and a scalpel in another.
He pointed the scalpel at his face, thinking of where to cut himself to inflict the biggest wounds which would turn into the ugliest scars…
