"There are wolves in those mountains," Abel said. "Could her body be eaten by wolves?"
"Even if that were the case, there should be clothing or shoes left behind," Edmond said. "My men and I couldn't
find anything at all."
Abel frowned. Could it be that Evelyn isn't dead yet?
"Might Evelyn be still alive?" Paul also asked the same question.
"It might not be a bad thing if she were still alive," Abel said. "She's so young."
"But Evelyn brought harm to everyone," Paul said and glanced at his second son. "Especially Flynn."
"Father, we don't know if Evelyn was the one who harmed Flynn. You shouldn't make wild guesses," Edmond said.
"Who else could it be?" Paul said angrily. "Didn't you see Flynn's call records with her?"
"Do you know what they talked about?"
Paul did not have any answer.
"Also, Flynn adored Evelyn very much. I don't think she could bear to harm her elder brother," Edmon continued.
"She's an ingrate!" Paul said angrily. "Evelyn must've lured Flynn out with a phone call, then got some people to
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtabduct him. Otherwise, this wouldn't have happened to him!"
"We didn't see any of that happen, right?" Edmond said. "For all you know, that's only a wild guess!"
"…"
Abel frowned. He could tell that Edmond had certain grievances.
Abel said, "When we went to the mountain villa, Flynn was restrained by the abductors. He was found in a pool of
blood, and he had a high fever."
"…That doesn't mean Evelyn is conspiring with the abductors, right?"
"Unfortunately, your sister was found together with the abductors," Abel said.
"Did you see that for yourself?"
Abel had no reply to that.
He only knew about that from Emmeline. Emmeline told her Adam crippled Evelyn and threw her into the
mountains.
"Your silence is very telling, Mr. Ryker," Edmond said.
"I didn't see Evelyn," Abel said while suppressing his annoyance. "If there's anything else you want to know, I'd
advise you to investigate yourself."
Edmond pressed his lips together and said to Paul, "Didn't I tell you, Father…"
"Shut up!" Paul said sternly. "This definitely has something to do with Evelyn! If she's not dead, I'll find her and ask
her for an explanation!"
Edmond was silent.
Abel was displeased. He could tell that Edmond was suspecting him.
Paul could see Abel's displeasure on his face. "Mr. Ryker…" he said awkwardly.
Abel interrupted him. "Excuse me," he said before abruptly turning around and leaving.
Paul was at a loss for words.
Abel returned to his Rolls-Royce and gave Waylon a call.
Waylon answered the call after a long time.
"Yes, Abel?" He sounded impatient.
"Emma will be cleaning her eyes tomorrow. Will you be coming over?" Abel asked.
"You don't say?" Waylon said. "The only reason why I'm not by her side 24/7 is because I have to develop the
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmantidote for you."
"Thanks, Waylon," Abel said.
"I'm helping you only because of Emmeline. I wouldn't have bothered if you weren't her husband," Waylon said.
"…"
Waylon continued, "Is that the only reason you called me?"
Abel nodded and said, "…Yes."
He wanted to ask on Paul's behalf if Waylon could treat Flynn.
If Flynn recovered, he would be able to tell the truth of what happened that day.
However, before Emmeline's eyes healed, Waylon would not want to treat anyone else.
Waylon was willing to help, but seeing that Abel did not want to trouble him, he could not volunteer himself.
"What a waste of my time!" Waylon said. "Okay, I'm going back to work. I want to get Deathly Desire out of your
system as soon as possible."
"So you're busy because of me!" Abel said.
