Chapter 342

342 Benjamin stared at the ceiling There was no way anything would happen between them .
He didnt even like her .
He was simply trying to keep her warm .
Surely , there couldnt be anything wrong with that Benjamin inched closer .
His hand slowly rested on her delicate shoulder before wrapping around her from behind .
Celine trembled in his arms .
Benjamin tightened his hold , his voice low but steady .
Celine , just hold on .
Youll feel better soon .
Η Celine had disappeared , prompting Adam to dispatch additional search tears to find her .
Not long after , Zachary hurried in with a surveillance report .
Alvarez , we found something .
Celine and Mr.
Benjamin were both seen boarding yacht .
Adam examined the footage .
He saw Benjamin board the yacht after Celine was already inside .
His usually composed face darkened with terrifying intensity .
Why did Benjamin suddenly show up in Marland ? No one had known about Benjamins arrival .
Leo hesitated before speaking .
Alvarez , I suspect Mr.
Benjamin followed Ms.
Celine here .
Have they found the yacht ? The search team has already been dispatched .
The yacht exploded at sea .
Adam abruptly stood up , What did you say ? Exploded ? Leo nodded grimly .
Yes , There was dynamite planted on the yacht .
At that moment , Carly walked in .
Adam , the dynamite must have been planted by Benjamin .
He wanted to lall Celine .
I know how much he resented her , but I never expected him to go this far .
Now , Benjamin is missing too .
Could it be that both of them died in the explosion ? The surveillance footage hadnt captured Carlys presence at the scene .
She had made sure of that .
With Celine and Benjamin presumed dead , Carly was quick to shift all the blame onto Benjamin to ensure she appeared blameless .
Adam didnt even look at Carly .
His voice was cold and firm .
Follow the river downstream .
I need to see them alive or recover their bodies .
Leo nodded .
Understood .
Adam strode out .
Carly grabbed his arm .
Adam , where are you going ? I chased after you all the way here .
Wont you stay with me ? Adams voice was cold and emotionless .
Im going to find Celine and Benjamin .
But theyre probably gone .
Theyre not With that , Adam pulled his arm free and walked away with long strides , talding Leo with him .
He was determined to find Celine and Benjamin .
Carly stood there , watching him leave , her face dark with anger .
He was this anxious over Celines disappearance ? It didnt matter .
The yacht had exploded at sea .
Celine had to be dead .
As for Benjam She thought , Benjamin , dont blame your beloved sister in law .
You brought this on yourself for not listening to the Adlarn and his team searched the sea thoroughly but found nothing Adam studied the map .
Whats this placei Leyes wid Leo replied , Mr.
Alvarez , thats Praxton Village , located downstream by the river .
Adam fell silent for a moment before making a decision .
Lets lead there .
Before lung , they arrived at Praxton Village .
Leo glanced around .
Alvarez , do you ou think Ms.
Celine and Mr.
Benjamin could Adains steps luaited .
something on the sand caught his eye .
A single pearl earring Adam bent down and picked it up .

Alvarez , I remember this purl earring .
It belongs to Ms.
Were in the right place .
She and Mr.
Benjamin must The pearl earring felt dry in his hand .
Aclam clenched his Hat , and the cold metal slowly warmed against his shiu .
Adam raised his head , his pon fucked on the village ahead .
