Ambush of the Quadruplets

Chapter 71

Alondra helped Alana to her feet. “She’s pregnant, and she’s easily frightened by intense scenes.”

“Quick, bring her back to the living room so she can rest,” Rosaline said. “She’s carrying my

grandchild!”

The bodyguards dragged the man out of the bushes, tied him up, and splashed cold water on him.

At the same time, the family doctor confirmed that Emmeline was indeed drugged, and the surveillance

footage was retrieved.

Everyone could see the young man approach Emmeline, hand her a glass of red wine, and coax her

several times to drink.

Even though Emmeline drove that young man away after a short while, they could see her face was

beginning to redden.

“Who brought this guest here?” Adrien roared angrily. He wanted to chop that man into a million pieces.

“You b*stard! Alana suddenly pounced on that man and slapped him with full force. “How dare you drug

my cousin? I’ll kill you!”

“That’s right!” Alondra slapped the man’s other cheek. “You deserve to die for harming my

stepdaughter!”

The young man instantly understood they wanted him to take the fall. He could not expose their

involvement even if Adrien killed him.

If he did, he was not going to escape from the two women’s clutches!

“Have mercy on me, Mr. Ryker! I gatecrashed the party to score some free food and alcohol, and I was

aroused by the sight of that beautiful woman. But I didn’t manage to lay a finger on her! She nearly

killed me before I could do anything!”

“You deserve to die!” Adrien followed up with two more punches.

Abel came over and kicked the young man twice, which caused him to pass out once more.

“Stop it, both of you!” Landen said with a frown. “We’re not going to mar the happy occasion with that

guy’s death. Just throw him out!”

“He got away easy this time!” Adrien said angrily. “How dare he try to violate my wife. He’d better pray I

don’t meet him again!”

Emmeline was brought to the guest room to rest, and Adrien guarded the entrance with the three boys.

Abel stood next to them, feeling that he did not fit in.

Adrien glared at him. “Abel, can’t you see we’re a family here? Outsiders like you aren’t welcome!”

“I’ll go downstairs then,” Abel said reluctantly. “Call me if you need anything.”

Adrien smirked. “What do you mean? I can take care of my wife if she needs anything.”

“Adrien, Emmeline is my good friend. Is it wrong for me to show her concern? Also, she’s not your wife

yet!” Abel said coldly.

“She’s not my wife now, but she’ll eventually be my wife,” Adrien said. “After all, we already have three

children together!”

“Suit yourself then!” Abel huffed and turned around indignantly, slamming the door on his way out.

In the banquet hall, Alana was uneasy after seeing Abel go upstairs to check on Emmeline, and he had

not returned after ten minutes.

She whispered into Alondra’s ear, “Abel hasn’t returned downstairs yet. I’m afraid he might have

feelings for Emmeline!”

“D*mn that Emmeline!” Alondra said through gritted teeth. “Why is she so lucky? Nothing that we throw

at her seems to stick!”

“No, I’m not going to call it quits yet. I want that woman to suffer!” Alana said. She hugged Alondra’s

arm and begged, “Please help me think of something, Auntie. I won’t let that b*tch off so easily!”

Alondra thought for a moment and cackled. “I’ve got it!”

“What are you thinking of, Auntie?”

“If we can’t set her up, we’ll just have to set her children up!”

“Her children!” Alana seemed to understand what her aunt was talking about.

Right after Abel left, Adrien shooed the children away. Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

“Your mommy needs some peace and quiet. Go downstairs and play. I’ll be here to look after her.”

“But we want to be with Mommy,” Sun said unhappily.

“Yes. Mommy will be worried when she wakes up and doesn’t see us,” Moon protested.

“We’re not going to leave Mommy’s side.” Star pouted defiantly.

Adrien patted the boys’ heads. “Don’t worry. Once your Mommy wakes up, I’ll go and get someone to

inform you!”

“Really?” The boys sounded hesitant.
