âOliver had no idea who I was!â Abel exclaimed. âHe only saw the two words âEmmeline Louiseâ that 1 wrote to Hogan!â
Tobias nodded. âSo, if Oliver sees Emmeline, he would conclude that the two Jade Kings were referring to Remy. The necklace cord in your hand would reveal the identity of the assailant. However, the necklace cord was lost five years ago, and no one knows to whom it belongs.â
âWhat kind of pendant is on the necklace cord?â Brandon asked. âAbel, do you remember?â
âA⦠jade fish,â Abel recalled.
âJust saying it is not enough, Roland stated. âThere are countless fishâshaped carvings. Only by seeing the original design can we determine if it belongs to Remy.
âStill, both of them were grandfatherâs disciples. Why would Remy suddenly attack Oliver?â Brandon asked.
âThere is only one reason. Tobias explained, âYour grandfather, the Wonder Doctor, passed down the Thirteen Specter Points, which Oliver has been carrying with him. Remy must want to get that book.â
âBut Dad,â Brandon said. âWhen did you plan this meeting? You almost dragged me into an unjust situation!â
âThat time when you were training the students, Tobias recalled. I heard the name Emmeline and paid.
attention to it. Later, your grandfather and I discussed it. You mentioned that she had an Imperial jade on her wrist. This information is enough to show a connection to Oliverâs disappearance, which led to todayâs meeting.â
Brandon sighed and wiped the sweat off his forehead, repeatedly apologizing to Emmeline. âIâm sorry.
Emma. I really didnât expect it to turn out like this.â
âItâs serendipity.â Emmeline smiled bitterly. I donât blame Master for it.â
âBut treating Emmaâs illness comes from the bottom of my heart, Tobias said. âA doctorâs heart is like that of a parent. Everyone should not doubt this!â
Abelâs face became serious, but he still nodded in agreement.
âBut in my opinion,â Roland began. âThis matter should be reported to the authorities.â
Abel suddenly raised his head, his gaze deep.
Roland continued, âOtherwise, without finding that pendant, we will never be able to determine who wanted to kill my Master that night!â
âSo⦠Abel smirked slightly. âMr. Harding suspects me?â
Emmelineâs expression froze.
âRoland!â Brandon scolded. âYou canât say that. Abel is my friend. By doing this, youâre putting me in a difficult position!â
She grabbed Abelâs hand and wrote in his palm. Letâs go. This situation is complicated and not in your favor!
Abel patted the back of her hand and whispered, âItâs alright. He turned to Roland and said, âMr.
Harding, letâs report the case. I will cooperate with all investigations.â
Emmeline stood up abruptly.
Abel caught up with her in a few steps and pulled her back.
She grabbed his hand and wrote. If you report the case, you will be arrested!â
âNo, I wonât.â Abel shook his head. âIâm just cooperating with the investigation. The truth will come out eventually!â He turned to Tobias and said. âSince it has come to this, everyone should take responsibility for their actions, Tomorrow, I will go to the police station to report the case myself. If needed, I am ready to cooperate with the investigation in Serwell at any time!â
Tobias said, âAlthough this matter concerns you, itâs not just your affair. For now, letâs focus on curing Emmaâs illness. After a month, we can go to Setwell together and figure out how to resolve this.â
âAlright,â Roland agreed. âMr. Zephyr is still in Setwell. When the time comes, let Abel meet him and see if he can recognize him as the assailant from years ago.â
âI think this is a good plan, Brandon said. âAbel, for now, letâs prioritize Emmaâs health. Treating her illness is the most important thing!â
Emmeline wrote in Abelâs palm, âLetâs put it aside for now and go to Setwell together after a month!â
After a moment of contemplation, he finally nodded.
