Such as being a stuntwoman, an amateur car racer, making desserts, cooking her children’s favorite dishes, and also studying the medical problems Robert gave her.

“It’s okay. Adelmar needs you to function, Benjamin. And only you can go against the Ryker Group.”

“Likewise, likewise.” Benjamin smiled politely.

“Anyway…” Abel got up from the couch. “I have to cook for the triplets now. We can discuss our plan after the meal.”

“Let me help you,” Benjamin volunteered. “I want to know what the triplets like to eat.”

Abel froze. His body slowly turned around. “Do I take this as a declaration of war, Mr. Benjamin?”

Benjamin smiled again. “Don’t worry, Mr. Abel. I’m sure both of us will respect Emma’s choice.”

“Right. We will.” Abel nodded. In other words, if Emmeline picked Adrien, they had no choice but to respect it as well.

“You would be Emma’s only choice if it weren’t for Alana,” Benjamin added.

“She is not an issue. My grandfather and I have an agreement. If I can cure Alana’s condition within a month, my engagement with her can be annulled. I did find a medical expert but she is busy at the moment. So, all I can do is wait.”

Benjamin couldn’t believe what he just heard. He thought Abel was in love with Alana and that was why Abel almost implored the Wonder Doctor to cure her. If Benjamin had known that Abel was doing this to annul the wedding engagement with Alana, he would have asked Emmeline to intervene much sooner. However, it was all an “if” now.

Abel cooked whatever the triplets loved to eat. The food from Nimbus Hotel also arrived so everyone could have dinner. After the meal, the kids played in the room while Abel and Benjamin decided to devise a plan in the study.

“This is the layout of the Imperial Palace, which I procured from the city council.” Abel pointed at the computer screen.

“Okay. Now we elaborate on the operation.”

“Mhm.” Abel added, “They won’t let us win the bid. So a fight will eventually break out.”

“I have armed personnel with me,” said Benjamin. “But how do you plan to mobilize them?”

Abel clicked on Section G of Imperial Palace. “This is the office building in which the Palace Lord works. It has 29 floors in total and Emma lives on the 20th floor.”

“Which means Emma is there too?”

“Most likely, yes. The auction party will be held in a large conference hall on the second floor of Section G. That area has three exits in total.” Abel highlighted the exits with his mouse.

“If we take this exit here, we have access to the elevator, which can bring us to the 29th floor,” continued Abel.

“It will be heavily guarded.”

“Yes. So to rescue Emma, we should avoid alerting the forces there.”

“Naturally.” Benjamin couldn’t agree more. But he knew there was no way the Palace Lord would let the whole operation go that smoothly.
