Chapter 1289: Chapter 1291 The Show Is About To Begin

Behind the scenes, the Ryker family was in disarray, with numerous thoughts racing through their minds.

Meanwhile, the situation at the birthday party remained orderly.

After a brief moment of rage, Oscar smiled at the guests once again.

Both the Ryker and Steiner families were in good spirits and showed no signs of anything unusual.

Sonia felt worried due to the peaceful atmosphere.

“Mom,” she said, taking Michaela’s hand in hers. “Isn’t Emmeline’s identity not a big deal? Old Mr.

Ryker didn’t do anything either, right?”

“You need to stay calm,” Michaela said quietly. “Didn’t you see how angry Oscar was just now? He was on the verge of slamming the table. However, the Ryker family is prestigious and influential. They won’t panic or make a fuss in such a significant situation. Don’t worry, when Old Mr. Ryker gives the order, he will hold Emmeline accountable!”

“Alright, then.”

Sonia felt relieved and looked across the mahogany table at Emmeline, thinking to herself, Emmeline, let’s see how long you can hold on! The truth will come out sooner or later!

The banquet commenced, and everyone took their seats.

Some people dined in the garden, while others dined in the hall. The Ryker family estate was enormous, with hundreds of tables set up.

Hundreds of people gathered to toast Mr. Ryker.

The toasting continued for almost an hour or two.

Munchkin joined his parents and bodyguards in toasting his great-grandfather.

Munchkin, of course, drank children’s fruit juice.

On the other hand, Oscar enjoyed an $80,000 bottle of liquor.

He was overjoyed to see his four gorgeous great-grandchildren.

He happily handed out large red envelopes to each of them, including Munchkin.

After receiving the red envelope, Munchkin was escorted back to the main building by security.

Oscar remained at the outdoor banquet scene, enjoying the festivities with the crowd.

The meal continued until its conclusion, when Old Mr. Ryker, pretending to be exhausted, returned to the main building, slightly tipsy.

As he left, the guests all stood up and saluted him.

“He’s here; he’s here,” Michaela whispered to Sonia. “After that, Old Mr. Ryker will convene the Ryker family for a meeting, and the show will begin!”

“But we can’t witness the show,” Sonia pointed out. “They’ll talk behind closed doors, and we can only sit here and listen to the wind.”

“Don’t worry,” Mrs. Michaela reassured her daughter as she patted her hand. “This matter will not be insignificant. Old Mr. Ryker and the Adelmar Clan are enemies. He will definitely not. let Emmeline be a Ryker family daughter-in-law again. Emmeline will undoubtedly be kicked out! Once Emmeline is gone, you will have a chance, won’t you?”

“It would be even better if we could get rid of those four brats!” Sonia raged. “They are so annoying!”

“It’s impossible to get rid of the children,” Mrs. Michaela replied quietly. “After all, they are the flesh and blood of the Ryker family. Haven’t you seen how Oscar adores them? How could he let his great-

grandchildren wander outside?”

“We’ll see!” Sonia grumbled. “Unless Emmeline takes them all away, I’ll torture them to death. one by one in the future, leaving no trace!”

“Yes,” Mrs. Michaela said coldly, “when cutting grass, you must remove the roots!”

While the two women were quietly conversing, they noticed Oscar’s assistant leaning over and whispering in Lewis’s ear at the main table.

Lewis’s expression immediately darkened.

After all, what was about to happen couldn’t be avoided.

Rosaline and her husband exchanged a glance before asking quietly, “Does the old man need.

something?”

“Let Daisy and Luca take Munchkin back to the mansion first, and the two of us and Abel’s couple will go to the old man’s place,” Lewis said quietly.

Daisy and Sam were having dinner in a room on the second level, while Luca and a couple of bodyguards were keeping an eye on them.

As a result, they had no idea what was happening in the garden at that time.

Rosaline stood up and went to the second floor of the main building to inform Daisy of Lewis’ orders.

Munchkin had just finished his meal and was eager to see Mommy and Daddy.

Rosaline said, “There’s something going on with my great-grandfather. You two go back first. Mommy, Daddy, and Grandad will arrive later.”
