Chapter 720 Janie, You Finally Show up.
The following day, Benjamin was at the Aldemar Group headquarters, listening to Eric’s update on the search for Emmeline. There was a knock on the door.”Come in,” Benjamin said.
Joey, his secretary, opened the door and informed him that Alondra, Emmeline’s mother, was there to see him. Benjamin raised an eyebrow at the unexpected visit. He wondered why she was here at the same time he also hoped that she might have some information about her daughter’s whereabouts. “Thanks, Joey. Please let her in,” Benjamin said.
Alondra entered, dressed up and wearing heavy makeup. Eric reported that they had no new information and that he planned to gather more intel. “Thank you, Eric. You can go now,” Benjamin said, waving his hand.
Alondra asked if there was any news about Emmeline. Benjamin assured her, “Abel and I are still looking for her,” Benjamin said. “From what we can tell, Emma is at least safe. There have been no bad reports from the police stations throughout the capital.”
Alondra expressed her worry, “That’s good,” Alondra shed two tears. “I’m always worried about Emma. I can’t sleep at night.” Benjamin comforted her and promised that they would find Emmeline. Then Alondra brought up Wayion, “Also, that Mr. Wayion prepared such a generous dowry for Emma the other day, we haven’t thanked him yet.”She wanted to thank him and had even booked a hotel to invite him to dinner.
Benjamin hesitated, as he knew Wayion didn’t need any gratitude from the Lane family and Benjamin didn’t want to speak on his behalf. But Alondra insisted that it was a matter of gratitude from the Lane family.
Alondra said. “Can you help me make an appointment with Mr. Aldemar?” Benjamin found himself unable to refuse on Wayion’s behalf. “Wayion isn’t here,” Benjamin informed Alondra. “He’s at the Nightfall.” novelbin
“In the Nightfall? Then I’ll go find him,” Alondra exclaimed happily. “I’ve already booked the hotel and will wait for our honored guest.”
“Alright, go ahead,” Benjamin replied, leaning forward in his large armchair to indicate he was seeing her off. With joy, Alondra left Aldemar and headed to Nightfall Cafe. Benjamin was about to reach for his phone to inform Abel about the search for Emmeline, but he received an unfamiliar call. He didn’t have time to answer, so he rejected the call. However, the unknown number called again before he could retrieve Abel’s number. Impatiently, Benjamin swiped to answer. “Who’s this?”
“Mr. Benjamin, it’s me, Janie,” a soft voice spoke from the other end.
Janie Eastwood!
Benjamin froze, then stood up from his chair and let out a low roar. “Janie, you finally showed up! Emma had an accident. I hope you are satisfied now.” Though Janie was sobbing, there was no response.
“Where are you? Tell me! I’ll come to you!” Benjamin insisted on meeting her personally.
Janie spoke, “I’m in the private room at the end of the tea house opposite Aldemar Group.”
Benjamin hung up the call and rushed out of the CEO’s office, grabbing his coat. The receptionist, Joey, was startled and quickly informed Eric through the internal line. “Eric, hurry up! Mr.
Benjamin just rushed out in a hurry.” Without hesitation, Eric called the bodyguards to follow.
In just a few minutes, Benjamin arrived at the private room opposite Aldemar and saw Janie, who wore a black casual dress and looked tired. Benjamin was furious, but seeing her like this, he suppressed his anger. “You’re back?”
“I’m sorry,” Janie replied in a low voice. “I didn’t expect things to turn out this way.”
Benjamin furrowed his brow and asked in a hoarse voice, “Do you know that Emma had an accident?”
