Chapter 690 Finding Darell Eastwood
"Are you scared?" Alana snickered. "Didn't you say that you had tried to poison Emmeline before? Why are you so
shocked to hear about my plan?"
"That's an entirely different thing!" Evelyn went on, "I can add the poison to her food or drinks discreetly without
letting anyone find out. However, I don't have it in me to kill someone with my own hands."
"Leave it to me, then!" Alana said confidently, "I've been waiting for this day for a very long time."
"When are you going to do it?"
"Tomorrow," Alana smirked. "Have you forgotten that Emmeline and Abel's wedding is happening tomorrow?"
"Hahaha! I've almost forgotten about it!" Evelyn's eyes shone with excitement.
"Everything is going so smoothly!" Alana said chirpily, "We can secretly contact a few reporters and have them
release news of Emmeline eloping with another man! Or that she had abandoned Abel!"
"Alana, you just came up with the perfect plan! That's a really clever plan!" Evelyn agreed wholeheartedly.

Evelyn had a malevolent grin on her face as well. "Maybe I'll be able to win Abel over in the end after all!"
"Hah! Dream on! Abel won't spare you a glance even with Emmeline out of the picture!" Alana scoffed.
Evelyn remained silent as she could hardly retort Alana's words.
At the same time, Abel had arrived back in Struyria on his private plane. Then, he brought his men and headed to
the town where Benjamin had informed him about.
On the other hand, Benjamin and his bodyguards were going around the streets and asking everyone they met if
they had seen Emmeline.
Since Emmeline was driving a super expensive sports car, she would stand out a lot in a quiet, laid-back town like
the one they were in.
However, even after asking all the shop owners and pedestrians on the streets, none of them seemed to recall
having come across a lady that resembled Emmeline the day before.
Three hours later, Abel arrived at the town. He went straight to where Benjamin was.
Both of them could not hide the worry and exhaustion on their faces as they stood by the roadside.
"How did it go?" Abel asked, "Did you manage to find any new clues on Emma's whereabouts?"
Benjamin had a dejected expression as he shook his head slowly.
A deep frown creased Abel's forehead. "Any idea who spoke to Emma last? Have you looked into that?"
"She received a call from an unregistered number. It's impossible for us to trace and track down the user,"
Benjamin said in a low voice.
"Obviously, someone had used the news on Janie to lure Emmeline to this place," Abel concluded.
"Only a handful of people know about the exact location of Janie's hometown." Benjamin replied, "Unless, this was
done by one of the family members of the Eastwood family."
"Let's head to the Eastwood family's residence then." Abel suggested, "Perhaps we could find more clues there."
Benjamin nodded in agreement. "Mhm. That's our best option for now."
An hour later, Abel, Benjamin, and their men arrived at the Eastwood family's residence.
They found Darrell's father, his younger brother, Jason Eastwood, and his wife, Delilah Moore at the house.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAccording to the Eastwood family members, Darell and his family had moved to a new place in the city just
recently.
"Did Darell try to ask for more money from you guys afterward?"
Delilah said with a puzzled look in her eyes. "Both of our families received a million dollars each. Yet, how did he
manage to buy a house in the city this soon?"
Upon hearing her words, Abel and Benjamin realized that there might be something more to it. However, both of
them managed to keep a straight face.
"Did Janie ever drop by to visit?" Benjamin asked.
"She hasn't." Jason responded, "I haven't seen her for years now."
"Where is Darell staying currently?" Abel reached into his pocket and took out a stash of cash. "I need his full home
address."
Jason's hands were shaking a little as he took the cash from Abel. Delilah beamed a sunny smile at Abel. "I'll write it
down for you. They just moved into their new house yesterday evening."
An hour later, Darell heard the doorbell ring and went to get the door. To his horror, he found Abel and Benjamin
outside his new house.
Upon seeing Darell's expression, Abel and Benjamin exchanged gazes for a few seconds. Then, they grabbed Darell
by his arms and pushed him into one of their men's cars.
