Undoubtedly, they were good friends of Adrien.

However, that led the way to more cheers from the guests.

“You’re so lucky, Adrien! You scored a hat trick on your first shot!”

“You’re awesome, Adrien!”

Adrien was feeling very smug about it. He crouched and hugged the triplets in his arms.

The triplets shuddered, but Adrien held them even more tightly.

Alana walked elegantly up to Timothy and gently clasped his shoulders. “Good evening, everyone! I’m Alana Lane. I gave birth to Abel’s son, Timothy Ryker. I’ll continue to bear children for him too! This one’s already two months!”

She smiled blissfully while rubbing her stomach.

“Wow, she’s the future heiress of the Ryker Group!”

“Ms. Lane will be Abel’s future wife. I’m so jealous!”

The female guests gasped in surprise. They admired and envied Alana.

Alana was extremely gratified. It felt as though she was already the matriarch of the Ryker family.

Next were Emmeline and Abel. They looked at each other, wondering what they should do.

“Emmeline!” Someone in the crowd shouted. “You’re the mother of Adrien’s children, right? Why are you still hesitating?”

“The children are yours, right? Admit it!”

Alana took Emmeline’s hand. “Come closer, won’t you? The children are waiting!”

Sun yelled, “Mommy! I wanna leave!”

He knew his mother did not like Adrien. He did not like Adrien too, and the only thing he could think of was to leave as soon as possible.

“I wanna go home!” Moon yelled.

“Me too, Mommy!” Star waved his hands. “It’s boring here!”

“Shush! You still have me!” Adrien said sternly.

“But we only want Mommy!”

“Mommy!”

Timothy was standing there, looking at Abel with teary eyes. “Daddy! Don’t you want me? Why aren’t you coming here?”

Abel and Emmeline exchanged glances again, and they walked over.

The former stood next to Alana, and the latter next to Adrien.

“Abel.” Alana leaned her head on Abel’s shoulder.

“My wife!” Adrien hugged Emmeline with his arms.

That was all there was to be said.

Emmeline realized she had fallen into Adam’s trap. There were no flaws to it.

She shot a glance at Adam and realized he was smirking at her.

“Look at these families! Two loving couples and four adorable children. Is there anything else the Ryker family can ask for?” Oscar said happily.

“You’re so lucky, Mr. Ryker!”

“You’re a winner in life, Mr. Ryker!”

The guests cheered and clapped to congratulate Oscar.

Suddenly, the chandelier above Oscar’s head exploded with a loud bang. Crystal shards fell all over the hall.

The cheers and applause stopped abruptly as the guests scattered in all directions.

“Assassins!” Adam yelled. “Protect Grandfather!”

Before the bodyguards could get into formation, several armed thugs surrounded Oscar.

Abel wanted to rush to Oscar’s aid, but a thug pointed a gun at his head.

“Don’t harm Grandfather!” Alana wanted to save Oscar, but she fell after a thug kicked her.

“Adam!” Oscar was furious. “Why are there assassins? What did you do?”

Adam said nothing, though his expression was sullen.

Benjamin and Daisy rushed over and picked up the four children.

“Timothy! Timothy!” Rosaline snatched Timothy away from them.

Landen and Julianna wanted to take the triplets with them, but Daisy stood in their way.

Ethan and Benjamin took the triplets away.

Emmeline was confused. Isn’t the trap tonight set for me? Why are they targeting Oscar?
