“Ms. Louise is perfectly fine!”
Sam slapped her own chest. “She’s got the best bodyguard right here, what could happen to her?”
“Yeah, sure.” Benjamin rolled his eyes. “I’ll have your head if anything happens to her!”
“….” Sam was indignant, but did not dare say anything in response and merely huffed.
Ms. Louise?
The mistress’ friends were in shock. Was she the high lady of Adelmar group?
F*ck, she was not to be messed with?
They shouldn’t have listened to their friend and showed up here!
Adelmar Group was no small feat!
Just as they were cursing to themselves, another tall and broad figure showed up at the door.
Another man came striding in.
He was clad in a suit that outlined his toned body, and the mistress’ friends gulped at the sight.
Yet right after they, they were hit with a sense of fear.
Whose ‘family’ was this guy here?
He looked even more terrifying than the last one!
Just as the women were murmuring among themselves, Abel turned and walked towards Emmeline.
He stood in front of the cell, the sun hitting his face perfectly.
The women’s jaws almost hit the ground, cursing to themselves even more.
This man was the CEO of Ryker Group, Abel Ryker!
“….”
“…”
“Are you alright, Emma?”
Abel held Emmeline in his arms, looking her up and down all over.
“Of course I’m fine! What are you all doing here?”
Emmeline’s face flushed at the sight of her husband.
“It was me who told Abel,” Benjamin said. “He would’ve beaten my *ss if I’d hidden it from him!”
“Well, this is about my wife,” Abel put an arm around Emmeline’s shoulders. “Someone was trying to get her into trouble, of course I’ve got to be here!”
This woman was Abel Ryker’s wife!
F*ck!
How had they somehow offended the wife of a Ryker?
The women looked at each other warily, their chests thumping in discomfort.
They glowered at the mistress.
Are you happy now?
Using us as a scapegoat?
I can’t believe you dared to mess with Abel Ryker’s wife!
The mistress herself was terrified as well. How was she supposed to know?
She was only going for Jennie.
How was she supposed to know Jennie had such a powerful friend?
More importantly, did Norman know about this?
“Why didn’t you call me, darling?” Abel looked at Emmeline, his chest aching.
“What, over something as small as this?” Emmeline’s eyes twinkled. “I was just having some fun.”
“Yeah, you say that,” Abel stroked her hair. “If you keep doing this, I’m going to get you a few bodyguards.”
“No way, I don’t want that!” The mention of bodyguards alone was enough to make Emmeline’s head hurt.
A few men following her everywhere she went, what a nightmare!
“Mr. Ryker,” Sam said. “What would I even be needed for, then!”
Abel nodded. “You’re one of them!”
“Yeah, that’s not going to be enough!” Benjamin said to Abel. “I can find you a few more men!”
“Nah, it’s fine,” Abel chuckled. “I’m the only bodyguard my wife needs.”
“Like hell you are,” Benjamin laughed. “You get jealous at the drop of a hat, come on.”
“Can you two cut it out?” Emmeline hissed. “Do you think you’re at a party?”
Abel and Benjamin exchanged a glance, and promptly shut up.
Emmeline closed her eyes. Benjamin and Abel were here now. Please don’t let Waylon show up too!
The next second, a tall figure in a white tuxedo appeared at the door.
Emmeline rolled her eyes. “Here to join the party, my dear brother?”
Doris’ face flushed from where she was sitting.
It was Waylon who had bailed her out the day before.
Now they were seeing each other again, at a police station too.
What the hell was going on here?
Doris wanted to hide, but there was obviously nowhere she could run to!
“Waylon,” Emmeline said, “What’s going on here? Why are all of you here at the same time?”
