Chapter 1327 Trouble in the Ryker Family
Little rascal!” Benjamin affectionately tousled Emmeline’s hair. “You know full well how nice I’ve always. bren.”
Emmeline laughed. “Now, Janie knowing you’re nice is the real deal. You and Waylon, you two blockheads, have finally come around!”
Benjamin burst into laughter in response.
He, too, thought that he had finally come around and realized the world was actually warm and love wast absolutely wonderful. This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
“I have Janie to thank,” Benjamin said, pulling Janie close and planting a gentle kiss on her forehead. “Her unwavering support finally melted my heart, revived it, and made me realize the power of love.”
Emmeline nodded, her eyes red-rimmed, happy for the two.
Just then, Abel approached them, and Emmeline threw herself into his arms, hugging him tightly.
“Hubby, we’ll stay together in this lifetime, the next, and the one after that. We’ll always feel the power of love!”
Abel was momentarily surprised by her sudden outburst but held her firmly. “Of course, darling. No matter which lifetime, I won’t be apart from my Emma. You still have to give me more babies!”
Emmeline blushed and pushed him away. “Shameless!”
“Hahaha!” Benjamin and Janie burst into laughter.
Meanwhile, Waylon and Doris had joined in on the fun.
With everyone in high spirits, they decided to take a cruise and enjoy a day at sea.
Three days later, the entire Adelmar Archipelago celebrated the joint wedding of Abel and Emmeline, Waylon and Doris, and Benjamin and Janie together.
The news spread and dignitaries from various countries gathered on the island, making the festivities last several days.
One afternoon, Abel received a call from Adam suddenly.
Abel quickly answered the call, but before he could even bring the phone to his ear, Adam’s panicked voice came, “Abel, you need to come back quickly. There’s trouble at Ryker Group. Grandad’s mansion is under siege, and things are getting dire!”
Abel was taken aback. “What happened? How could the Ryker’s residence be under siege?”
It’s Grandad’s old enemies,” Adam explained, his voice full of urgency. “They’ve gained control of Ryker Group’s stocks and incited unknowing shareholders to besiege the Ryker’s residence. You must return quickly; Grandad can’t hold out much longer!”
Emmeline, who was coincidentally aside, overheard the conversation, and her expression changed.
Once Abel finished the call, she asked, “Are we returning to Stroyria right away?”
“Yes, Abel replied. “You, Mom, Dad, and the kids stay here. I’ll go back alone.”
“That’s not happening.” Emmeline objected urgently. “We’re husband and wife, a team. In times of trouble, I can’t let you face it alone.”
“The situation there is chaotic,” Abel explained. “If we’re to face Grandad’s enemies from overseas, there is bound to be a fierce battle. You’ll be safe here!”
“No way!” Emmeline argued teary-eyed. “You’re not leaving me behind. I’m going with you one way or the other. No matter how dangerous it is, I want to face it with you. Let Mom, Dad, and the kids stay here.”
Knowing he couldn’t dissuade her, Abel reluctantly agreed.
Emmeline wrapped her arms around his neck, a smile finally appearing on her face.
Abel instructed Luca to arrange a helicopter flight and then explained the situation to Robert.
“If anything happens, inform us promptly,” Robert said. “Even though Oscar and I have our differences, at times like this, we need to present a united front to the outside world.”
“Thank you, Mr. Robert.” Abel nodded. “I’ll sort it all out and also keep Emma safe. Don’t worry!”
That night, Abel and Emmeline returned to The Precipice in Struyria accompanied by thirty fully armed international mercenaries.
Emmeline was taken aback when she saw the armed presence. “Hubby, why do you have these people with you?”
Abel smiled as he wrapped his arm around her shoulder. “Remember the identity I haven’t told you about?”
