Emmeline had no reply to that.

She curled up in Waylon's arms and turned her head away so she did not see Abel.

Her heart ached so much that she found it hard to breathe.

Abel also took a step back.

They knew they should not trigger Abel's Deathly Desire again. Abel would not be able to heal.

Abel said with much difficulty, "I'll leave Emma in your care."

"Don't worry about it. You should tend to your mother," Waylon said.

Abel turned his head away reluctantly and returned to the study.

Rosaline was still crying. Abel comforted her patiently.

Meanwhile, Waylon brought Emmeline downstairs.

Half an hour later, Rosaline calmed down, and Luca sent her back to Levan Mansion.

The next day, Emmeline went to work at Ryker Group.

After she finished the tasks that Abel gave her, she received a call from Janie.


Emmeline quickly answered it.

She had not spoken to her ever since the awkward encounter at The Verdaria, much less met each other.

"Janie? How are you?" Emmeline asked carefully.

"I'm fine." Janie's voice sounded dry. "Emma, I need your help with something."

"Please tell me. I'll do whatever I can to help you," Emmeline said.

"I know you'd help me," Janie said with a smile. "Shall we meet and talk?"

"Sure. Where should I meet you?" Emmeline asked.

"The administration center of Adelmar Studios," Janie said. "I'm working there."

Emmeline remembered Janie was transferred there because she did not wish to meet Benjamin.

"Okay, I should be there in 40 minutes. Wait for me there," Emmeline said.

"Mm. Take care while driving," Janie said happily.

After the call ended, Emmeline picked up her handbag and walked out of the CEO's office.

Luca came out of the assistant's office. "Where are you going, Ms. Louise?"

"Adelmar Studios. I'm going to meet Janie. You don't have to follow me," Emmeline said.

"I think I should," Luca said while scratching the back of his head. "You should know how Mr. Abel will react if he knows that I'm not looking after you. Now, there's also Mr. Adelmar."

Emmeline smiled. "I'll give you the rest of the day off then. Maybe you should get yourself a nice cup of coffee."

Luca blushed when he heard that.

He knew that Emmeline was telling him to go to Nightfall Café to visit Sam.

He hesitated for a while before saying, "I think I should go with you, Ms. Louise."

Emmeline chuckled. She knew that Luca was worried for her.

After all, it would be unwise to offend Abel or Waylon.

"Alright. Let's go then." Emmeline nodded.

The Novel will be updated daily. Come back and continue reading tomorrow, everyone!
