Sam said anxiously, âNo, maybe I can help you.â
âYou?â Luca chuckled bitterly, saying, âSam, itâs not a good time to joke.â
Sam said seriously, âIâm not joking. Because⦠I work for Ms. Louise.â
âWhat did you say? I didnât get it.â Luca was stunned.
âIâm her bodyguard. She is the daughter of the Adelmar family. Do you understand now? So, I know where to find her,â Sam explained.
Luca was completely dumbfounded.
Does the simple-minded waiter, Sam, know martial arts?
Is she Ms. Louiseâs bodyguard?
Whose daughter is Emmeline?
Is she from the Adelmar family?
Sam said, âLuca, are you listening?â
âYes!â Luca was sweating nervously.
Can he have found what he is looking for without effort?
âWait for me. Iâll book a ticket to Osea immediately.â
Luca took a breath and asked, âCan you tell me the specific location of Adelmar Island over the phone?â
âThere is no Adelmar island. Itâs a joint name,â Sam replied.
Luca was puzzled, âJoint name? What does that mean?â
âItâs hard to explain in a few words,â Sam said, âWithout guidance, it can be difficult for you to find it.â
Luca was speechless.
âIâll book a flight now,â Sam said, âTell Mr. Abel to rest well. Donât worry. Iâll be there tonight and take you out tomorrow.â
âOkay, okay,â Luca replied excitedly.
Sam hung up the phone and quickly booked her flight.
Luca rushed out of the cabin, âMr. Abel, stop searching!â
Abel covered his stomach with one hand and held onto the railing.
He missed Emmeline.
When he heard the shouting from Luca, he turned his head.
âWhatâs wrong, Luca? Have you discovered something?â
âThatâs right,â Luca was excited, âAdelmar Island, we found it!â
Abel grabbed his hand. âWhat did you say?â
âI know where it is. Huh, itâs not me. I know someone who can take us there.â
âLuca, are you speaking in riddles?â
âMr. Abel,â Luca licked his lips. âI mean, Sam. She knows where weâre going!â
âOf course, weâre going to Adelmar Island. Whatâs the point?â
âBut thereâs no Adelmar Island,â Luca said, âItâs just a joint name.â
Abel frowned, âJoint name? Does it mean all the islands belonging to the Adelmar family are called Adelmar Island?â
âProbably yes,â Luca replied.
Abel asked suspiciously, âWho told you that? You just mentioned Sam?â
âYes, itâs Sam!â
Abel was surprised, âHow could she know?â
Janie also said, âYeah, how could that little girl know?â
âMr. Abel,â Luca said, âIâll tell you what Sam told me. You have to hold on.â
Abel nodded, âHmm, Iâm fine.â
âEmmeline is the daughter of the Adelmar family, and Sam is her bodyguard.â
Abelâs mind buzzed.
Even though he had almost figured it out, he was still surprised when he heard it.
Abel asked, âThen Benjamin⦠is also Emmaâs bodyguard?â
Luca said, âMaybe. He is also working for her. Otherwise, he wouldnât call her Ms. Louise.â
âWhat about Adelmar Group?â Janie exclaimed, âItâs no surprise that Benjamin always followed Emmaâs words. Could it be that Emma is the CEO of Adelmar Group?â
Abel took several steps back.
Luca supported him and said, âMr. Abel, you promised to hold on and not get agitated.â
âIâm not agitated,â Abel wiped the sweat off his forehead.
âThe Ryker Group has always treated Adelmar Group as a mortal enemy. Recently, weâve started to build a better relationship since we got close to Benjamin, but we have always been enemies in business. It turns out I have been unknowingly competing with Emma all along!â
