Chapter 722 Harassment
Janie continued, "The child and I will burden you with responsibilities that will haunt you for a lifetime, making you
lose your freedom."
Benjamin remained quiet. While he might be able to love the child, he wasn't sure about Janie. Benjamin didn't
know if he could ever love her in the future. He fell for Emma five years ago, and his heart was still occupied by her.
It wasn't his fault; he couldn't help it.
"I don't want your pity, Benjamin," Janie's eyes were icy. "I will live well and raise my child alone. He has nothing to
do with you, so don't feel sorry for him."
Benjamin was speechless and he was puzzled about what he could do to comfort her.
"I made my apology. I hope you can find Emma soon so that I can have peace of mind," Janie headed towards the
door.

Janie walked towards the door without looking back, but Eric blocked her way just as she was about to open it. "You
can't just act recklessly, Janie. You're carrying a child, and you don't have any other relatives," Benjamin reminded
her. Janie remained silent.
"Perfect timing," Benjamin told Eric. "Take her to Glenbrook and let her stay there peacefully."
"Understood, Mr. Benjamin," Eric responded.
"Are you trying to imprison me, Benjamin?" Janie asked, looking back at him.
"I just want you to calm down," Benjamin growled. "Please don't cause any more trouble. I'm too busy to deal with
it!"
"If you're determined to leave, could you at least wait until we find Emma? Do you not care about Emma's safety at
all? Are you completely indifferent? Your behavior makes me suspect that you had something to do with Emma's
disappearance, Janie."
"What kind of ridiculous accusation is that?" Janie snapped, "Of course, I'm worried about Emma. But what can I
do?"
"I don't need you to do anything," Benjamin said firmly, "I just need you to stay put, for the sake of your safety, for
the safety of the baby, and for finding Emma. Please don't cause any more trouble."
Janie reluctantly nodded her head. Perhaps it would be better to wait until there was news of Emmeline before
trying to leave. Otherwise, she would just be acting selfishly. "Okay, I'll listen to you."
"Eric," Benjamin said, "Take Ms. Janie to Glenbrook and let Yvonne take good care of her."
"Yes, Mr. Benjamin."
As Janie left with Eric, Benjamin sank into his chair and shut his eyes to rest. He was exhausted. But just then, his
phone buzzed in his pocket. Weary, he fished it out and glanced at the caller ID. It was Sam. "Hey, Sam," Benjamin
answered, his voice a little strained. "What's going on?"
Sam called Benjamin, saying, "It's Mr. Adelmar! Why are you hounding him with an old lady?"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBenjamin was confused, "What kind of old lady?"
"Alondra, Ms. Emmeline”s stepmother," Sam explained.
"Ah, yes," Benjamin recalled. He had directed Alondra to the Nightfall cafe to meet Adelmar for dinner. Realizing his
forgetfulness, Benjamin slapped his forehead and asked Sam, "What's going on with her now?"
"You'd better come and take a look," Sam informed Benjamin that Adelmar had a headache and he should come to
take a look.
Benjamin agreed and headed to the Nightfall cafe. However, when he arrived and pushed open the glass door, he
didn't see Alondra or Adelmar. Confused, he asked Sam, "Didn't you say that Alondra came over? Where is she?
And where is Mr. Adelmar?"
Sam pointed upstairs, "Just go upstairs and see. It's very lively up there!"
Benjamin climbed the stairs with curiosity. As soon as he reached the second floor, he heard Alondra's voice from
the platform, "Mr. Adelmar, do you think my figure is beautiful?"Benjamin was taken aback and wondered what was
happening.
