Chapter 588 Eat His Words
"Yeah. I do most of the cooking, so that's an aroma I'm familiar with," Sam answered.
Benjamin commented, "That's eccentric of Waylon. He invented a weird drug, only to add a strange smell to it."
"Yeah. The thick smell of common seasoning reminds me of my mom."
"Alright. I'll let Waylon know. He didn't believe me when I told him," Benjamin said.
Sam gave a nod. Prior to hanging up, she uttered, "Okay. Mr. Benjamin, don't try to swoop in and take Ms. Louise
away. It's indecent to do that."
Benjamin was lost for words.
It was a great opportunity.
Benjamin was confident that Emmeline would fall in love with him so long as her feelings for Abel were no more.
He was the only person in the whole of Struyria who could compete with Abel.
Sam nervously said, "Why aren't you talking, Mr. Benjamin? Don't get any ideas!"
"I know. What do you take me for? Am I that type of person?" Benjamin questioned.

"Waylon, Abel is now in love with Emma, but Emma didn't hear him say it, so she took the Worryfree drug. Sam said
it smelled like paprika. Why must you add such a weird smell for a drug?"
Waylon fell silent for a moment before bursting into laughter.
"Is this a time to laugh, Waylon? How can you make light of the situation?" Benjamin was furious.
Waylon replied, "Here's the thing. Can you ask Sam to check whether she has the smoked paprika seasoning in the
kitchen? If she has none, I can mail a few bottles over."
He then gleefully terminated the call.
Benjamin held the phone with a blank expression.
Did Waylon just tell him to check with Sam whether they had smoked paprika seasoning in the kitchen?
Apparently, Waylon was happy to deliver some bottles if there were none.
What did he mean by that?
It then dawned on Benjamin.
"Hold Abel and Emma until my return. I'm taking a quick trip to Nightfall," Benjamin told Janie.
While Janie was confused, she did as she was told.
"Oh, okay. Hurry back. I don't know how long I can stall Emma."
"Sure." Without taking his jacket, Benjamin called Eric and bolted to the elevator.
Benjamin arrived at Nightfall Café in a little over ten minutes. He headed straight to the second floor.
"Mr. Benjamin, what brings you here? Didn't Ms. Louise go to you?" Sam came over.
"I came to check whether you have the smoked paprika seasoning."
Sam responded, "Don't bother looking. We're out of paprika. I'll get some later. Are you making something with
paprika?"
"Are you really out?" Benjamin came to a screeching halt at the stairwell.
Sam crashed onto Benjamin headfirst.
Benjamin helped her from falling before asking, "Where did you find Emma taking the drug?"
"In her room. The suitcase is still on the floor. The Worryfree drug was probably stashed in the suitcase," Sam
replied.
"Suitcase? Come on. Open it up for me," Benjamin said.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Why are you checking on Ms. Louise's personal items? Ms. Louise will be pissed if she finds out." Sam pouted.
"Just do it. I'll take responsibility for it."
"Alright then." Sam gave a nod.
The pair entered the master bedroom, and Sam pulled out Emmeline's suitcase from the closet.
The suitcase was not locked, so it was easy to open.
Benjamin kneeled to rummage around the suitcase.
"What are you looking for, Mr. Benjamin?"
Benjamin felt a plastic bottle at the bottom and pulled it out for a look…
Sam exclaimed, "Smoked paprika? Oh, so we're not out of seasoning. Ms. Louise kept it in her suitcase."
She reached out to take the bottle.
Benjamin shied away.
"This is the real Worryfree drug. Emma took the smoked paprika."
Dumbstruck at first, Sam sprung up. "So Ms. Louise is okay!"
"She's playing Abel, making him eat his words," Benjamin said.
Sam was in stitches. "Hahaha! I got to give it to you, Ms. Louise. You had Mr. Abel fooled. To think he became your
personal chauffeur and bag carrier!"
