Chapter 690


    "Are you scared?" na snickered. "Didn''t you say that you had tried to poison Emmeline before? Why


    are you so shocked to hear about my n?"


    "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!" na said confidently, "I''ve been waiting for this day for a very long time."

    "When are you going to do it?"


    "Tomorrow," na 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!" na 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!"


    "na, you just came up with the perfect n! That''s a really clever n!" Evelyn agreed


    wholeheartedly.


    naughed sinisterly. "Emmeline, I bet you never saw thising, huh?"


    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 nce even with Emmeline out of the picture!" na scoffed.


    Evelyn remained silent as she could hardly retort na''s words.


    At the same time, Abel had arrived back in Struyria on his private ne. 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,id-


    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 havinge across ady that resembled Emmeline the day before.


    Three hourster, 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 Emmast? 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 ce," 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 hourter, 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, Delh Moore at the


    house.


    ording to the Eastwood family members, Darell and his family had moved to a new ce in the city


    just recently.


    "Did Darell try to ask for more money from you guys afterward?"


    Delh said with a puzzled look in her eyes. "Both of our families received a million dors 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. Delh beamed a sunny smile at


    Abel. "I''ll write it down for you. They just moved into their new house yesterday evening."


    An hourter, 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.
