Quadruplets Unite: Mother's Words Are Law novel Chapter 1296

“In that case, leave Emmeline here,” Oscar negotiated with a quirked brow, “and I’ll pretend today never happened.”

“Yeah, right!” Abel sneered. “Emma is the mother of my four children and my beloved woman. How can I turn a blind eye and abandon her?”

“I promise you,” Oscar’s gaze deepened as he spoke. “If you hand over Emmeline, the position of Ryker Group’s CEO will still be yours. You can choose to marry any prestigious lady, even the ones abroad. I won’t interfere.”

“I’m not interested!” Abel declared firmly. “Emma is mine for this lifetime and beyond. I’ll never let her go.”

Emmeline’s hand, held tightly by him, trembled, and tears blurred her vision.

“I won’t leave Abel, Old Mr. Ryker.” She looked up. “I just want you to know that the power and influence of the Adelmar Clan are on par with the Ryker Group, if not greater. My master won’t overlook what you want to do to me.”

“You’re not scaring me with Adelmar!” Oscar raised his brows. “My eldest son died because of him, and today, I want revenge for the past. I won’t bother with anything else.”

“Killing me might be easy for you.” Emmeline’s gaze turned icy. “But have you ever considered how Timothy, Helios, Endymion, and Hesperus will view you? Unless you kill all four of my sons, they will seek vengeance for me one day!”

Oscar stumbled slightly upon hearing Emmeline’s warning. His four great-grandchildren were his treasures, an extension of the Ryker family’s bloodline and his pride. If one day they turned against him, he might as well be dead. Even if he died before they grew up, he believed they would dig him out of his grave. This couldn’t happen, absolutely not!

Thud! Oscar plopped down into his chair. He was, after all, an eighty-year-old man, and sitting down made him realize just how tired his legs were and how weak he felt.

“Then, tell us!” Emmeline gritted her teeth. “What conditions must be met for you to let our family leave together?”

“Dad,” Lewis pleaded. “Please don’t make it difficult for them. They’re a family!”

“Even you are defying me?!” Oscar’s face darkened as he pointed at Lewis. “You’re still my son!”

“I’d rather follow my son if you won’t let his family go. Lewis said. “Dad, you might as well cast Rosaline and me out of the family as well. All six of us aren’t leaving anyone behind.”

“That’s right,” Rosaline, tears in her eyes, agreed. “If you have to drive them away, Dad, you might as well drive us all out. We won’t be separated!”

“Mom, Dad, you don’t have to do this,” Abel said.
