Ambush of the Quadruplets

Chapter 1303 The Brothers Gather

After chatting for a while, Adrien poured a glass of water for Abel and humbly sought his advice on

work methods and experience. After all, running a conglomerate was not something one could learn in

a short time.

Adrien quickly felt overwhelmed by the amount of information.

“Ah, forget it!” He waved his hand. “Let’s end here today and take a break, Abel.”

Seeing Adrien constantly rubbing his temples to the point where they became apparently red, Abel

knew that entrusting the vast conglomerate to him would be a challenging task. However, with no way

out given. by their grandfather, his role was to do his best to assist Adrien.

The two brothers were taking a break, sipping water, when the phone on the main table rang.

Abel got up from the sofa and instinctively went for it. Then, he realized that he was no longer in charge

and sat back down. He said to Adrien, “You answer it; you’re the boss now.”

Adrien sighed and reluctantly rose from the sofa, walking to the main table to pick up the handset. This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.

“Hello, who’s this?”

There was a brief pause on the other end, and then Adam’s voice came through. “Adrien, you’ve

already taken up the position?”

“I’ve been thrown in at the deep end, now haven’t I?” Adrien said with a wry smile. Td be happy to let

you do it.”

“No, thanks!” Adam grumbled. “I’d like to live a bit longer!”

“Why have you called then?” Adrien felt a bit let down. He had hoped for some comforting words from

his elder brother to mend his wounded pride.

“I want to invite Abel for dinner. Why don’t you join us?” Adam said.

“Sounds good,” Adrien said before turning to Abel. “Adarn is inviting us for dinner. What do you say?”

Before Abel could respond, Adam added, “Bring Lizbeth and Emmeline along. I’ll be bringing Ysabel on

my end.”

Abel became concerned at once. It didn’t matter if Lizbeth would show up for lunch, but it was a whole-

other story for Ysabel to be there as well, for his dear wife wasn’t a fan of the woman.

Then, Adam added, “You all have wives. I can’t be the only single one, so I’m bringing Ysabel along.”

Abel could only agree when Adam had put it that way. “I’ll let Emma know.”

“Emma will surely agree!” Adam said confidently. “I know she’s open-minded and won’t hold grudges!”

Well, he wasn’t wrong.

Abel nodded. “You guys pick the place, and we’ll join you later. We should get together.”

“How about the Seashell Hotel?” Adam suggested. “It seems like both Emma and Lizbeth like it, and

Ysabel enjoys it too.”

“Seashell Hotel it is,” Abel replied into the handset. “You guys go ahead. Emma and I will join you in a

bit.”

“Alright!” Adam agreed. “I’ll be waiting in the private room.”

They ended the call, and Adrien seemed somewhat emotional. He muttered, “Abel, is Adam holding a

farewell dinner or something?”

“Where are you getting that idea?” Abel chuckled. “Just because I’m not running Ryker Group

anymore. doesn’t mean I’m not a Ryker by name. Wherever we go, we’re still brothers!”

“That’s all I needed to hear!” Adrien sniffled. “You go pick up Emma, and I’ll get Lizbeth. We’ll meet at

the Seashell Hotel.”

“Alright!” Abel nodded. “See you later!”

Half an hour later, the three couples met in a private room at the Seashell Hotel.

As they entered, Ysabel greeted them with a smile, “Emma, Liz, you’ve come! Come, take a seat!”

She was both welcoming and attentive, helping Emmeline and Lizbeth pull out their chairs.

Seeing her like this starkly contrasted her previous arrogant and domineering demeanor. Emmeline

and Lizbeth exchanged a knowing look, their eyes filled with amusement. Has this girl changed her

ways?

Adam seemed to have noticed the thoughts of the two women and said with a smile, “No need to be

surprised, Emma, Lizbeth. Ysabel said that if she wants to enter the Ryker family, she must learn from

both of you and eliminate her bad habits!”

“Learn from Lizbeth,” said Emmeline with a chuckle. “Don’t bother learning from me.”

“Why not?” Adam teased. “Grandad might have chased you out in a fit of anger, but it proves that

you’re the real deal! The little cafe owner turns out to be the boss of the Adelmar Group and a proud

disciple of the Adelmar Clan. You have half of Osea backing you. Who’d dare underestimate you?!”
