Bang!

A gunshot was heard. A bullet penetrated Alana's skull, which caused it to explode and shower Abel and Benjamin with blood and brain matter. "Who is it?" The bodyguards pointed their guns in all directions.

Of course, they did not replace anyone. The sniper who took Alana's life disappeared as soon as they fired the bullet.

Abel and Benjamin were shocked.

Alana was about to tell them the crucial truth, but she was forever silenced.

It also meant that whoever wanted to silence Alana had their eyes on her as soon as she left jail.

The sudden fire was most likely caused by them as well.

"D*mn it!" Abel punched the wall in frustration.

Benjamin gritted his teeth hard.

There must be a mole in the police station! Otherwise, the Imperial Palace wouldn't have gotten news of it so quickly.

"We lost our lead again," Benjamin said. "We were only one second away!"

"Looks like we haven't escaped their clutches." Abel smiled wryly.

"But the poison in your body... What are we going to do about it?" Benjamin said.

"It's fine," Abel said calmly. "Mr. Adelmar is developing the antidote, isn't he?"

It's not going to be that easy! Benjamin thought.

Meanwhile, in Ryker Hospital, Adam put his phone away and thought he had escaped narrowly.

Phew! If I were a second too late, Alana would've exposed me!

If "W" had not called him to inform him, Abel would have been able to arrest him!

Abel was not as lucky as he was. The sniper managed to kill Alana in the nick of time, and Abel and Benjamin could only watch helplessly. "Hahaha!" Adam laughed out loud.

You didn't expect that, Abel! Alana is dead. Evelyn is dead. Mr. Ywain is in custody. Who else can you replace?

Abel returned to the Precipice. Emmeline was sitting on the sofa in the living room, waiting for him.

She turned her head happily when she heard Abel opening the door.

"Abel? Is that you?"

Abel discreetly shifted away from Emmeline. He did not want her to get close, not because of Deathly Desire, but because he was covered in Alana's blood. He did not want to dirty Emmeline's hands.

"Sit there and don't move," Abel said. "I'll go upstairs and change, and I'll be back soon."

Abel ran up the stairs, took off the dirty clothes, and went into the bathroom to take a shower.

In ten minutes, he cleaned himself, put on a white shirt and black slacks, and returned downstairs.

Emmeline stood up again. "You're back."

"Mm, I'm back." Abel reached out and hugged her.

Emmeline wanted to hug his neck and kiss him, but Abel had already let go of her.

Emmeline pouted, wondering why her husband seemed so impatient.

Abel took her hand and said, "Let's go and visit Janie."

"Mm." Emmeline nodded. "Kendra already bought the gifts I'm bringing Janie. I was only waiting for you."

"I'm not going to forget our promise," Abel said while patting her head. "I'm back, isn't it?"

"Have you been busy with work at the company?" Emmeline asked.

"Yes, our business both domestic and abroad are expanding rapidly. I barely have any time to rest," Abel said.

"I'm lucky I have Benjamin in Adelmar Group," Emmeline said. "I don't want to lose my hair over business affairs."

Abel touched the back of her head. "Now that you mention it, is your hair growing back after Waylon applied the ointment?"

"I can feel some fuzz now," Emmeline said. "It's only been a few days anyway."

"That's very effective. He should patent it," Abel said.

"It's nothing. The Adelmar family has many wondrous medicines," Emmeline said with a smile.

But they don't have anything that can cure Deathly Desire! Abel thought.
