The Quadruplets Are Mine?

Chapter 1299 Why Don’t You Do It?! 

“Dad, what did you and Uncle Lewis do when you were young?” Adrien actually asked.

Both Landen and Lewis hung their heads, remaining silent, appearing somewhat embarrassed.

Oscar Ryker sneered, “Let me tell you!”

“Please, Grandad,” Adam chimed in.

Not only was Adrien curious, but Adam and Abel were also eager to know what their father and uncle had been up to when they were young. However, at this crucial moment, it was not convenient for Abel to ask.

“While I was busy conquering the world and building a wealth empire back in the day, I neglected to guide my sons!” Oscar started to grumble again. “This led them, at the ripe age of seventeen or eighteen, a prime time for studying, to grow long hair, perm it into curls, wear bell-bottom pants, and carry boomboxes while dancing disco in the streets every day! They didn’t have a serious approach to their studies.

“It was truly a waste of this generation! If I hadn’t created a fortune that could last for three generations, those two would have struggled to make ends meet! Take over Ryker Group? Huh, as if the company is some balloon that can float with a little puff of air!”

Oscar’s words had Adam, Adrien, Abel, and even Emmeline gaze at Landen and Lewis with curiosity

Long hair, permed curls, bell-bottom pants, and dancing in the streets with a boombox? Goodness me. To think they used to be so fashionable. They lived more carefree lives than us.

However, it seemed that they really hadn’t put much effort into their studies. So, when it came to Abel’s generation, Oscar decisively sent them abroad for further education.

“But Grandad…” Adrien spoke up after finishing visualizing the fashionable scenes of his father and uncle. “In any case, I won’t take up the position of Ryker Group’s CEO. You can find someone else for that!” This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

Cough, cough, cough! Oscar was so exasperated that he started coughing, and his face turned even darker. “You useless rascal!”

Adrien wasn’t going to yield no matter what. Curse and scold me all you want. I’m not doing it! Anybody can take up the job all they want!

It had long become apparent to him that the CEO of Ryker Group was actually overworked despite its imposing surface. While its main existence was to serve its big family, whoever sat in the position might not be received well at all. So, no way would he take up the job!

This situation left Julianna extremely agitated, and she anxiously protested, “Adam, Adrien, how can you refuse?! Are you trying to infuriate your grandfather?!”

“If you like the position so much, you take it!” Adrien quipped, and Adam echoed, “That’s right! You take it!”

“You rascals!” Julianna was beside herself with rage. “Would I need you two if I can do it myself?! I knew I should’ve strangled you two to death as soon as you were born! I swear I’ve raised you to become a constant source of frustration for me!”

Cough, cough, cough! Oscar coughed again. His assistant quickly patted his chest while asking, “Shall I call a doctor, Old Mr. Ryker?”

“No need!” Oscar Ryker huffed. “The sooner I die, the better. Leave these ungrateful b*stards of mine to fend for themselves!”

“Grandad,” Adam spoke up. “Maybe we should just leave? You can turn to Abel for anything. He’s the only one willing to take up the job without any complaints!”

“Adam, Grandpa has already kicked me out of the family,” said Abel with a shaking head and a smile. “So, I won’t take up the position of Ryker Group’s CEO either.”

“You…” Adam turned to his grandfather. “Grandad, why? Are we not a family?!”

“Shut up, Adam!” Julianna growled with seething rage. “Your grandfather is still here. You have no say in this!”

“Adam,” Abel spoke up. “I won’t separate from Emma and my boys, so I’ll give up my position as the CEO of Ryker Group. Don’t blame Grandad. If that is all, we’ll be taking our leave!”

“Wait!” Oscar called out. “Take nothing with you! Leave all your shares, dividends, Ryker family’s money, and properties behind!”

“Sure!” Abel nodded. “You can send someone over to handle the transition with us later.”

“Adrien will see to it!” Oscar concluded. “And Adrien will also take over the position of Ryker Group’s CEO!”

Thud! Adrien plopped down on the floor. No, this is the end of the world!
