Chapter 264 The Missing Piece

Just then, Abel returned. “Sir.”

“How is it?”

Abraham’s thin lips parted slightly, spitting out two words.

Abel said. “We found and brought back all of Evie’s people. Evie wasn’t with them.”

Abraham raised an eyebrow and glanced at Abel.

Abel explained. “They said Miss Evie ditched them as soon as she got off the plane.”

Eddie came bursting in from outside, snow clinging to him, just in time to hear Abel’s words. His heart skipped a beat again.

No way. What did she mean by ditching Marie’s people? What was she planning?

Eddie felt like he was about to fall apart.

He cursed Evie a thousand times in his heart, then felt like something was wrong.. but couldn’t figure out what it was.

Abraham’s long fingers tapped rhythmically on the dining table.

The steady rhythm only made the tension in the air worse. Eddie glanced nervously at Stella.

Stella kept her eyes down, pretending to see nothing, hear nothing.

Why was he looking at her? She didn’t dare speak up for Evie either. Since childhood, Abraham had taught her to be ruthless toward anyone who tried to hurt her.

Evie was trying to steal her away. If she spoke up for her now, Abraham would definitely give her an earful later when no one else was around
