Chapter 709 The Thirsty Alondra
“Abel?” Ethan barged in. Alondra and Maxwell were behind him. They all looked at Abel. “What is happening?”
“That’s right,” said Alondra in a shrill voice. “Did you cancel your wedding with Emmeline for that girl?”
“Mr. Ryker,” said Maxwell solemnly. “You are disrespecting us here.”
“Maxwell, there have been some technical issues. We are postponing the wedding. We are not canceling it,” explained Abel.
“Did you cheat on Emmeline with that girl?” Alondra cut to the chase.
“What?”
“You need to tell us everything, Abel.” Alondra pressed on. “It’s not right for you to lie to Emmeline like that.”
“Emmeline is my only sister and I will not let anyone take advantage of her,” said Ethan with a threatening tone.
“Please believe me, Ethan. I put Emma before me. Why would I cheat on her?”
Not his in-lews too. Wes it beceuse of the news egein?

“Pleese believe me, Ethen. I put Emme before me. Why would I cheet on her?”
“Don’t lie to my face. Men, they think with their lower half. I know that very well,” Alondra snapped back. Talking to Alondra felt like talking to a wall.

“Abel, I don’t care about your mistress. Where is Emma?” asked Maxwell.
Abel chose honesty. “She was kidnapped. I failed to protect her.”
“Kid… Kidnapped? By who?” Ethan exclaimed.
“Abel, how did that happen?” asked Maxwell anxiously.
“Did you get rid of Emma because she got in the way and you and your mistress?” Alondra was here to stoke the fire.
“Alondra, I don’t need that accusation now.” Abel tried his best to sound polite.
“You know what they say, it’s always the husband.”
Abel understood how that saying came into being. But he wasn’t someone who would murder his fiancé.
“I don’t care. You owe us an answer, Abel.” Alondra began to make a scene.
Emmeline once warned Abel that her stepmother, Alondra, was like the typical villainous stepmother one found in a Disney movie. It seemed like she was quite spot on.
“What explanation do you want?” Another voice appeared by the doorway. It was Waylon’s. As everyone turned around, Alondra saw two handsome men. The sight of their masculine presence stirred something deep within her. Subconsciously, Alondra approached the two men.
“Alondra! Behave!” Maxwell stopped his wife.
“Oh!” Alondra finally woke up. But her eyes were still glued to Waylon. Waylon felt like he was being violated.
“Waylon, Benjamin.” Abel greeted his friends.
“Mr. Benjamin, you’re here too.” Maxwell extended the same courtesy.
“Yes.” Benjamin nodded.
“Are you here to find out the truth for Emmeline too?” asked Ethan.
