Chapter 287 The Pink Veil
The kids were overjoyed to learn the good news.
"Wow, Mommy is home!"
"That's great; Mommy is finally safe."
"Daddy is genuinely a hero who can save Mommy."
Benjamin said, "He got hurt too. Later, you all need to thank him. Uncle Benjamin should thank him
too."
Benjamin was truly grateful to Abel for saving Ms. Louise. It would be problematic otherwise. Although
he also contributed to the rescue, he still thought Abel was a man worthy of Emmeline's trust. It's a pity
that there was a lot of entanglement between them. When would the two be able to sort it out?
"Go ahead. Get some wine from the cellar. Let's have a drink!" Benjamin spoke to the bodyguard
broodingly.
Alana learned about the entire situation at the Imperial Palace in the Ryker Hospital. She was aware
that Emmeline had been successfully saved by Abel.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe was the one who first proposed the Canary Plan for Adam. She was shocked that even this
strategy failed to stop Abel.
Naturally, Adam felt that his efforts had yielded a successful outcome. His greatest achievement was
getting Abel to step down as head of the Rykers family.
Adam had essentially fulfilled all of his goals by this point. He doubted that Abel could overcome the
pressure; he had to step down with a debt of 565 million. It was almost a done deal.
That said, Alana did not desire this outcome.
Alana wanted Emmeline to be bought by a wealthy man to make sure she would stay the hell away
from them; after all, out of sight, out of mind. Emmeline's luck in escaping from such a foolproof plan
surprised her.
Alana was incensed. She would not sit idly by.
She frowned. Then, Alana came up with another plan to visit Abel at the Precipice by tomorrow
morning. Her visit to Abel as his fiancée was only natural, given that she was aware of his injury.
The next morning, Alana dressed up, got in a cab, and headed to the Precipice.
Alana was recognized by the security guard, but he dared not let her in.
Alana was angry. She retrieved her phone and launched Twitter.
She threatened, "Open your eyes and take a good look. I'm going to engage Abel soon. I will be your
future mistress. How dare you refuse to open the door for me? Would you rather lose your job now or
when I get engaged to Abel? Anyway, if you refuse to let me in, I’ll fire you sooner or later."
The security guard gave it some thought because he did not want to lose his job. Working with a
powerful person like Mr. Abel had many advantages for him. The security guard pulled out the remote
control and let Alana through the electronic gate.
Alana angrily glared at him, then lifted her dress and entered the mansion.
The Precipice had no other staff, just a chef and two cleaners. The cleaners and the chef both stayed
in the backyard workers' quarter.
The living room was guarded by two bodyguards at the time.
Luca was still asleep. He had felt worn out recently. Abel advised him to get some rest since everything
had been going well lately.
The security system at the mansion was excellent. As long as the security guard did not let anyone in,
not even a bird capable of flying in.

man actually jumped to his feet as they both gasped in surprise.
"You both know I am, I'm Abel's fiancée," Alana interrupted before the bodyguards could say anything.
"I'm here to see Abel."
The bodyguards remained silent. They surrounded her and gave her a close inspection. They also
checked the gift she carried with her. By the time they were finished, they were certain Alana had no
weapons on her.
"Mr. Abel is still asleep. You can't disturb him," one of the bodyguards finally said.
"I came to see him because I knew he was hurt," Alana said.
She displayed the gift in her hand.
The bodyguard rebuked, "It's precisely because Abel is injured and he needs some rest."
Out of the corner of her eye, Alana saw a pink veil on the sofa at that precise moment.
Emmeline had worn it when she was on display at the Imperial Palace.
Alana turned pale as soon as she caught sight of the pink veil.
Of course, that veil belongs to a woman. Is Abel with a woman? If he did, that woman would have to be
Emmeline!
