Abel then looked at Canary No. 9 with a wide grin. But that grin disappeared as soon as it appeared.
She wasn’t Emmeline.
“Sold canaries, please go back and rest. Once the auction is over, your new owner will take you home.
Let’s proceed to the next canary,” the emcee announced.
Right then, Benjamin also noticed the fake Canary No. 9 they just bought. The mastermind had
swapped the real Emmeline with another girl. Abel made a gesture to Benjamin to tell Benjamin that he
would be on the move. Benjamin received the message and began to leave his seat while feigning
nonchalance. Abel, on the other hand, snuck to the back door. They had to locate Emmeline before
their enemies knew what they were doing. Luca then informed all elite guards to gather by the back
door. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
“We got a fake canary,” Abel told the sniper.
“What do we do now?”
“Head to Floor 20,” Abel commanded. “If she isn’t there, we fight our way to Floor 29.”
“Yes, sir!”
The group went to Floor 20 in two separate elevators. In all 19 rooms on the floor, Emmeline was in
none of them.
“So Floor 29 now?” asked Luca.
“Yes!”
Everyone reached for their guns and loaded them with bullets.
Meanwhile, inside the conference hall, Adam smiled smugly. Oh! How much he wished he could relive
the moment again. Abel spent 565 million dollars to purchase a woman he didn’t even know. And since
Abel spent so much, he wouldn’t be able to repay his debt to Oscar. And that meant Abel would lose
his job as the CEO. Benjamin also just lent Abel 265 million dollars. Although Adam highly doubted that
Benjamin would ask that back, Benjamin would still have a lot of explaining to do to his superior in
Adelmar. Adam was the clear winner tonight.
Adam couldn’t wait to see the look on Abel’s face when Abel noticed that he was outwitted. When
Adam turned to the audience seat, Abel had disappeared. That put him on high alert but he also caught
a glimpse of Benjamin sitting comfortably in the seat.
“Maybe I’m being paranoid here? Perhaps Abel went to the toilet or something,” Adam mumbled to
himself.
On Floor 29.
Abel and the guards bolted out the moment the elevator door opened up.
BANG!
The guards shot first.
“Mr. Abel,” Luca called out.” We’ll cover you. You go and look for Ms. Eastwood!”
“Thanks!”
Gunshots reverberated through the corridor.
Adrien was coming up through the elevator. According to the script Adam gave him, he was supposed
to arrive to rescue Emmeline. But when the elevator door opened, a bullet barely missed his face.
Adrien was so scared that he covered his head and cowered in the corner.
