Ambush of the Quadruplets

Chapter 1461 Unexpected Guests

Emmeline paused her stride, offering a warm smile as she greeted, “Hello, Aunt Audrey!”

Audrey waved her hand. “We’re practically family. No need for formalities.”

“I’ve come to inquire about the training preparations, Emmeline explained. “Mr. Chester. seems

occupied, and I didn’t want to disturb him.”

“They’re some old friends,” Audrey said. “They’re in the gold and jewelry industry, discussing the

prospect of setting up a counter with Vernon.”

“In that case, I should probably refrain from intruding. Emmeline agreed.

Audrey smiled. “It’s quite a coincidence. Vernon was just looking for you!”

Emmeline then followed Audrey into the office.

“Emma.” Vernon gestured to the middle–aged man seated on the right side of his office desk. “Let me

introduce you to an antique expert who can satisfy your curiosity.”

Emmeline promptly greeted the ‘expert.”

“Meet Danny Timberlake, the owner of Valoria Jewelry in Ylora,” Vernon stated. “He’s also an antique

appraiser with previous collaborations with Sotheby’s. You can call him Mr. Timberlake.”

“Hello, Mr. Timberlake!” Emmeline greeted with a sweet smile.

Vernon then turned to Danny and said, “This is the girl I mentioned earlier, the one Audrey has

wholeheartedly chosen as her goddaughter, Miss Emmeline Louise.”

Danny looked at Emmeline and smiled kindly. “Such a charming young lady, a precious gem among

gems, with a hint of blessings around her.

Vernon chuckled. “Audrey was smitten and insisted on adopting Emma as her goddaughter!”

Danny fixed his gaze on Emmeline and inquired, “Mr. Chester informed me that you have a found

object in your possession?”

Emmeline nodded, her voice tinged with shyness. “It was a serendipitous discovery, and I’ve been quite

curious about it. I’d like to learn more.”

Danny proceeded to ask Emmeline for a brief description of the item’s appearance.

After hearing her description, he commented, “That little jade figurine seems to be a ritual object from

the Roman Republic.”

“It’s similar to what I found in books,” Emmeline said with delight.

“I will come back when the World Trade Building is open. At that time, you can bring it to me for a more

thorough examination, he proposed.

Emmeline expressed her gratitude promptly. “Thank you so much, Mr. Timberlake.”

He then added, “And the Imperial jade bracelet on your wrist is quite valuable.”

Emmeline frowned. “But my brother bought it in Setwell, and he mentioned it was a little. over nine

thousand.”

Danny laughed. “Far more than nine thousand. It’s more like two hundred times that amount!”

Over two hundred times nine thousand?

Does that mean it’s worth over two million?

“How can that be?” Emmeline was startled. “He doesn’t have that much money!”

Danny smiled and responded, “If you doubt it, I can take it to the Jeim area and sell it for three million

right away”

Emmeline raised her brows in disbelief. How is that possible?

Could there be more to this bracelet than meets the eye?

The Ford Focus that had been shipped from Luminara had finally arrived.

Abel was not at the company. After receiving the logistics notification, he promptly dialed. Landon’s

number and instructed, “Landon, help me pick up the delivery and check for any damage.”

After ending the call with Landon, Abel proceeded to contact Emmeline. “Where are you, Emma?”

Emmeline’s voice came through the phone. “I’m currently at the Hallaway Hotel in the Development

Zone. The staff from Havencrest International came from Saint Duisea, and we’re busy preparing for

the event.”

“Has Brandon arrived yet?” Abel inquired.

Emmeline replied, “No, he’s scheduled to arrive just before the class begins. Why the keen interest in

him?”

In truth, Abel was rather eager to meet Brandon.

Based on Emmeline’s description, he seemed like an extraordinary person and possibly a competitor.

Luckily, the man was already married.

“No, it’s not that,” Abel explained. “The car I ordered for you has arrived, but I can’t leave right now.

Could you go and check it out for me?”

“Sure,” she replied.

Abel then asked about the progress of her driving school. “How’s the situation with the driving school?

When do you expect to receive your driver’s license?”

“I have already passed the test,” Emmeline reassured him. “It should be soon, I guess.”

After ending the call, she returned to Ryker Group.

The delivery truck carrying the Ford Focus was unloaded in front of the office building’s square.

Landon uncovered the tarp.

Instantly, the glossy platinum luxury three–door Ford Focus gleamed under the sunlight.

A crowd quickly formed, with all the office employees coming over to take a look.

Expressions of admiration and envy filled the air.

Just then, the security guard brought two people over to Landon and said, “These two gentlemen claim

to be Mr. Ryker’s relatives.”

“Not just relatives,” one of the men declared confidently. “I’m his elder brother, and this is his nephew!”

Everyone’s gaze shifted from the Ford Focus to the two men.

One of them was a sturdy, fit man in his thirties, while the other was a young man of eighteen or

nineteen. Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

“Are you Mr. Ryker’s family?” Landon inquired the older man.

“Of course!” the man asked. I’m Adam Ryker, Abel Ryker’s elder brother, and this is my son, Zahn

Ryker.”
