Chapter 461 Emma’s Loaded
Abel let out a light chuckle. “I completely underestimated Emma. I thought she was just the owner of a small coffee
shop who moonlighted as a stunt artist…”
“Emma used to say that she only became a stunt performer because she was bored,” Janie said. “I always thought
she was saying that just to irk me, but I guess it’s real, huh…”
“When I offered her my credit card, she told me she had money. I even laughed at her and said her money wasn’t
enough…” Abel smiled at the memory. “Who would’ve guessed that she was actually loaded!”

voice.
“Of course not,” Abel said. “I would’ve been upset if Emma had to continue making ends meet by herself for the
children’s sake after being chased out by the Louises five years ago. I couldn’t be more thankful that the Adelmars
were there for her! How could I be upset with her?”
The group found a nearby hotel to stay for the night. As soon as they settled down, Luca made a call to Sam once
more. This time, she finally picked up.
“Oh no,” Sam said as soon as she realized her blunder. “I got too used to calling him Benjamin that I forgot his real
name. He’s known as Benedict Adelmar to people on the island.”
“Benedict?” Luca could not hide his surprise. “No wonder the guard said there was no one named Benjamin.”
“Let’s get some rest for now,” Abel said. “We’ll visit the manor again after lunch.”
“Everyone’s here. Let’s go,” Abel said.
“Mr. Ryker, you don’t look too good…” Janie noticed. “Are you sure you’ll be alright?”
“I’m fine,” Abel assured her despite his hand on his abdomen. The pain was killing him.
The entourage called for a cab and left for the manor. Ten minutes later, they were standing in front of the same
copper and wood door again. This time, Luca rang the doorbell.
The same guard appeared from the guard post again. “Master has said he won’t be seeing you. Please leave the
premises,” he repeated his words from this afternoon.

Abel was not able to answer Luca as he felt a burning sensation in his stomach. The next moment, he projectile
vomited all over the gleaming marble tiles of the front porch, staining the floor red.
“Mr. Abel!” Luca exclaimed as he leaped forward to hold Abel up.
“Mr. Ryker just vomited blood!” Janie blurted out in horror. “Oh no… We should get him to a hospital immediately!”
Suddenly, the sound of tires screeching filled the air as a limited-edition Rolls Royce pulled up into the driveway. The
shiny black body of the car reflected the light from the surrounding lamps, temporarily blinding the group. The car
door opened, and a slender man dressed in dark clothes exited the car first before ushering another man out of the
car.
