Paul said when he called Abel, âI just checked Flynnâs call records. Evelyn called him first, and after that, Flynn called her more than a dozen times, but she didnât pick up any of them. Could something happen to Evelyn, and when Flynn sought her out, they both ended up in trouble?â
Abel sneered, âHmph! Mr. Murphy, donât you know what kind of person your daughter is?â
Paul was at a loss for words.
Abel asked, âDo you think your daughter is having trouble? Why didnât you think she might have conned Flynn into trouble? Did she not trick Emma in the same way?â
A chill ran down Paulâs spine.
Does this imply that my daughter abducted my son? No, Evelyn is my adopted daughter. Evelyn, youâre an ungrateful wretch!
Paul replied in a state of panic, âMr. Abel, what should we do? If it were someone else, I wouldnât be afraid, but if itâs Evelyn, sheâs ruthless and capable of anything! She couldnât accomplish this on her own, could she?â
Paul nodded and said, âThatâs right. Someone else must be involved.â
Abel said, âIn that case, call Evelyn and let her know that Flynn has a problem. Ask her to find Flynn and try to keep the call as long as possible. Iâll have my people track her location.â
Paul concurred, saying, âAlright, if sheâs the one who kidnapped Flynn, she must be close to him.â
Abel advised, âYes, call her as soon as we hang up, and make sure to keep the conversation going for as long as you can.â
Paul expressed his sincere gratitude by stating, âThank you so much, Mr. Abel.â
Abel ended the call and immediately called Luca. He commanded, âFind Evelynâs phone location. I need to know where she is.â
âYes, Mr. Abel.â
Meanwhile, Paul called Evelyn.
Evelyn was taking a bath in the guest room of the mountain villa.
Flynnâs blood had stained her after they abducted him. She felt filthy and uncomfortable all over until she was clean.
While soaking in the bathtub, she reminisced about spending time with Adam in bed the night before.
Her phone rang on the bathroom counter. Evelyn hoped Adam was the caller so she could decline the call and begin a video call. She wanted to show him her hot and wet body, hoping that at night heâdâ¦
Iâm in awe of that manâs strength, and he has good endurance.
Just thinking about it made her itch.
When she grabbed her phone, she saw that it was her father.
No, this man is no longer my father! Paul had kicked me out of the house. Heâs just an old man now!
Evelyn still answered the call.
Paul sobbed as he said, âEvelyn, Flynn is in trouble.â
Evelyn was speechless.
Of course, I know that! Iâm the one who did it. Did I need you to tell me?
âEvelyn. Iâm in Altney and canât get there quickly,â Paul said.
âCould you locate Flynn?â
Evelyn questioned impatiently, âWhere should I look for him? Struyria is such a big place. Do you think itâs easy to find someone?â
Paul purposefully dragged out their conversation, saying, âEvelyn, you canât say that. Donât you remember how Flynn took care of you when you were little? When you were a child, he held you every day, cheered you up, and bought you snacks. When you grew up and went to school, he waited for you at the school gate, so that you could walk home together. When youâre older and Flynnâ¦â
He was cut off by Evelyn, who chastised, âEnough! Why do you go on and on? No matter how kind you were to me, the past is the past. Donât forget that you drove me out of the house, causing me to turn overnight from a wealthy young woman to someone who isâ¦at the Imperial Palace.â
She swallowed the words âworking girl.â
Paul said, âYou shouldnât have provoked Abelâs wife. If not, we wouldnât encounter as many issues.â
Evelyn snapped angrily, âHmph! Cut your nonsense. What is so mighty about Abelâs wife? I donât like her, and sheâs going to have a tough life! She tried to steal my man; she deserves to suffer!â
