Chapter 689


    "I think so too." Flynn rubbed his temple. "Why does she always have to make us worry?"


    "Calm down, Flynn." Lizbeth said, "It''s veryte, and we can''t do much at this hour. I''ll help you look for


    her first thing in the morning."


    "Alright," Flynn replied.


    After ending the call, Lizbeth heard Adrien asking, "What''s the matter, Honey? Did you get a call from


    Flynn?"


    "It''s Evelyn." Lizbeth gave a sigh. "Flynn can''t get in touch with her."


    "Just leave her be." Adrien pulled Lizbeth into his embrace. "She''s always up to no good. It''s only a


    matter of time before karma gets to her."


    Lizbeth fell silent even though she was still worried about Evelyn''s safety.


    On the other hand, Flynn stared at his phone as he considered whether he should call Adam at such a


    late hour. In the end, he dialed Adam''s number regardless.


    At the Imperial Pce, Adam had just fallen asleep with two beautifuldies in his arms. He woke up


    with a start upon hearing the sound of his phone ringing.


    Adam did not have Flynn''s number saved on his phone. At first, he rejected the call because he saw


    that it was an unknown number.


    When he received another call from the same number again, Adam picked up and shouted impatiently,


    "Who is it that''s calling me at such an ungodly hour?!"


    "Mr. Adam." Flynn said apologetically, "It''s me, Flynn. I''m so sorry to bother you at such ate hour. I


    just want to know if Evelyn is with you right now?"


    "Evelyn?" Adam knitted his brows. "We''re not officially married yet. Why would she be at my ce?"


    "You haven''t seen her today as well, then?"


    "No. Why are you asking about that?"


    "I''ve been trying to reach her but her phone has been turned off." Flynn exined, "I''m worried that


    something might have happened to Evelyn."


    Adam paused briefly and said, "In that case, I''ll help look for her in the morning and let you know if I


    have news of her."


    "Thank you, Mr. Adam!"


    Adam hung up soon afterward. He had a rough idea of where Evelyn would be.


    She''s most likely with na right now. na is staying at the Avn. I''ll drop by the mansion and ask


    na about Evelyn tomorrow.


    Early morning the next day, Adam arrived at the Avn Mansion. As expected, he found both Evelyn


    and na at the mansion.


    He had no idea that the two of them had been at the Imperial Pcest night.


    Evelyn tactfully kept her bandaged hand behind her back so that Adam wouldn''t see it.


    "Flynn was looking for youst night." Adam said, "He said your phone was turned off and he couldn''t


    reach you."


    "I lost my phone yesterday." Evelyn replied in a slightly nervous tone, "I''ll give Flynn a call right away."


    Just then, na said unwittingly, "Evelyn, did you lose your phone when we were…"


    Evelyn quickly cast na a stern look to stop her. na ced a hand over her mouth as she realized


    she had almost made a slip.


    Adam did not say anything as he scrutinized the expressions on their faces. He began, "Where did you


    lose your phone, Evelyn? Are you keeping something from me?"


    "Of course not!" na eximed, "Evelyn and I went drinkingst night. She lost her phone because


    she got a little drunk. That was all."


    "Really?" Adam had a questioning look in his eyes. "The two of you better not be lying. You''re aware of


    the consequences if I catch you lying to me!"

    "Mr. Adam, you should trust us! We wouldn''t dare lie to you!" Evelyn said in a sweet voice.


    "Hmph! I hope you really mean that!" Adam gave a slight scoff.


    "Mr. Adam, have you had breakfast? Should I make something for you?" na shed him a sunny


    smile.


    Adam refused tantly, "No, thanks. I can''t stomach your food."


    na was rendered speechless by his response.


    I know he just sees me as a tool for his ns.


    After the man left, na and Evelyn felt a great sense of relief.


    na clutched Evelyn''s arm. "Did you drop your phone somewhere inside the Imperial Pce''s


    dungeons?"


    "I''m not sure." Evelyn said, "I didn''t even realize that my phone was gone."


    "I checked the cell and it wasn''t there." na continued, "It should be fine as long as Emmeline doesn''t


    have it."


    "What should we do now?" Evelyn frowned. "We can''t let Mr. Adam find out that we''ve abducted


    Emmeline."


    "Then…" A dangerous light gleamed in na''s eyes.


    Evelyn shuddered upon seeing the dark look in her eyes. "...Are you nning on killing her?!"
