Ambush of the Quadruplets

Chapter 1452

After ending the call with Abel, Emmeline informed her classmate Sam and asked her to accompany

her.

When Albus picked up the two of them and arrived at the Zeller family’s place, “Jorge” was not there

and probably gone.

There was a woman in her thirties in the house–Albus‘ sister, Rina.

For Emmeline, this lunch was just a formality.

The Zeller family didn’t know that she was a vegetarian and couldn’t eat any meat, so throughout the

meal, she hardly used her fork or said a word.

During this time, Michelle told Emmeline about the engagement without a gift.

Emmeline remained cold and indifferent without expressing her opinion.

Michelle felt a little guilty, as she feared Emmeline would cause trouble.

“I’m really sorry.” Albus looked ashamed, as if he was about to cry.

Emmeline didn’t lift her head and replied, “Whatever my mom says, I’ll do.”

In this matter, I was merely a lifeless shell. As long as Mom stays safe, I am willing to do anything.

“I’ll give you all my salary in the future,” he said hurriedly. “You can spend it however you want!” In his

desperation, he grabbed her hand.

She pulled her hand back as if she had been stung by a scorpion and said coldly, “These are all trivial

matters, as no one can predict what will happen in the future.”

His sister, Rina, remained silent with a cold face.

However, Emmeline didn’t dislike her. She could tell that Rina’s coldness was not directed at her but at

her own mother, Michelle.

It seemed that Rina looked down on Michelle’s decision to cancel the gift.

The hasty lunch ended, and Emmeline and Albus went home separately.

They were surprised to see Abel’s Buick Regal downstairs.

It turned out that after the meeting in the city, he hurriedly returned home.

Abel didn’t know Emmeline was going to Albus‘ house for lunch, but he panicked when he received the

message that Emmeline was going home.

In the end, after finishing the meeting with the city directors, he quickly drove back to Altney Steel.

When he entered, Emmeline was nowhere to be seen. Kimberly said that Albus had taken her home for

dinner.

Abel’s face never relaxed.

The wound on his shoulder hadn’t healed properly, causing his left arm to hang vertically against his

body involuntarily, as he dared not move it.

When Emmeline finished dropping off Sam and entered the house, Abel caught her in the bedroom.

“Why did you come home without telling me?” His tone was questioning and annoyed.

Confronted with the seemingly fragile and helpless Emmeline, Abel found himself experiencing a mix of

love, hatred, and helplessness all at once.

“How should I say it?” She frowned. “You know the situation at home.”

As she spoke, she rolled up the short sleeves of Abel’s T–shirt.

The gauze was stained with a few drops of blood.

“Does it still hurt?” she asked with a choked voice.

“Why did you go to Albus‘ house?” he replied with a question.

I don’t care if the wound hurts or not. Even if the wound hurts, does it hurt in my heart? Emma goes

home with that b*stard, Albus, to eat pasta!

“Michelle discussed the engagement,” she said, her brows drooping as if the conversation had nothing

to do with her.

“Congratulations!” He sneered. “Finally, the day has come!”

She turned her head in disgust and was about to leave the study.

Abel grabbed her arm. “Emma!”

Tears welled up in Emmeline’s eyes, and finally, they fell.

“It’s already like this.” She turned back to look at Abel with her gaze dull. “I don’t want Mom to Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

have trouble, so there’s nothing to be worried about. Please let me go!”

Are you really going to let me die?

He released her arm.

Yes, all of this is beyond Emmeline’s control. If it’s not sacrificing her, it’s sacrificing Aunt Kimberly, so it

can only be her.Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated For All Books Updates…

Abel lowered his starry eyes and weakly said, “What did they say?”

“She had to cancel all the gifts,” Emmeline said calmly. “Just have a simple wedding like an

engagement.”

“What?” His eyebrows furrowed suddenly. “You agreed?”

“Mom agreed,” she said. “It doesn’t matter to me.”

“How can it not matter?” he growled. “It’s not about the money, but how they evaluate you!”

Kimberly stared into his eyes. “Is there any meaning in this? In this situation, do I care about those

gifts?”

“D*mn it!” he clenched his forehead. “I’m useless. I knew this day would come, but I couldn’t do

anything about it!”

Outside the door, Kimberly knocked. “Emma, Albus is here!”

Emmeline frowned and felt nauseous. I have just returned, so why is he chasing after me again?

Abel accompanied her as they went out, and they saw Albus standing awkwardly in the living room.

Albus hurriedly said after he saw her, “I came to see you because I saw that you were unhappy. Don’t

blame me for what my mom said!”

Maxwell’s face darkened, and he lowered his voice. “Your mom is competent. She managed to handle

the Louise family like this! Am I marrying off my daughter or throwing her away?”

“Maxwell, I came to talk about this matter,” Albus said. “It’s not that we won’t give the gift. It’s just that

we really don’t have the money!”

“No money, no wife!” Maxwell shouted angrily. “What do you take my daughter for?”
