Chapter 1292: Chapter 1294 We Won’t Split Up

“Grandad,” Abel asked, “what happened between you and the Adelmar Clan? How did things. become so tense? Even in this era, you still consider grudges and hatred irreconcilable. Emma, on the other hand, has no issues with you!”

“If I tell you, you’ll understand.” Oscar’s voice choked as he said, “I once had a son who was murdered by Robert.” Don’t you think I have a deep animosity towards the Adelmar Clan? Shouldn’t I seek revenge on Robert’s adopted daughter if he killed my son?”

Both couples were surprised when Oscar mentioned this.

“Dad, who are you talking about?” Lewis asked. Landen and I are the only two brothers we have. Could it have happened before Landen?”

“Yes,” Oscar agreed, his eyes somewhat red, and he waved his hand, saying, “Thinking about the past makes me uneasy. It’s best not to bring it up. But Emmeline came to me on her own. today. Don’t blame me for being rude. My son died at the hands of Robert, and I want his adoptive daughter to die at my hands.”

“Do you believe that killing someone is as easy as squashing an ant?” Emma scoffed. “Even if Old Mr.

Ryker can hide the truth, no one dares to investigate you. But my lord, Robert, isn’t going to let it go, is he? Are you willing to continue killing each other and suffering as a result?”

“Don’t lecture me with those high-sounding words! I just want to avenge my eldest son,” Oscar explained. I’m not thinking about anything else!”

“Dad,” Lewis stood up, “Emmeline is my daughter-in-law and my grandson’s biological mother. If you truly cannot accept her, I am willing to face the consequences. Punish me, Dad!”

“And me as well!” Rosaline added, “Emmeline is the woman Abel loves, and she is also the mother our four grandchildren cannot live without. If Dad needs to vent his anger, Abel and I will bear it for Emmeline!”

“Dad and Mom!” Emmeline sobbed, clutching her grandparents’ arms and saying, “Thank you, but the Adelmar Clan will handle their own affairs. You don’t have to worry about me.”

“And me,” Abel murmured softly as he embraced Emmeline’s shoulder. “We are a family, and no one can separate us!”

“Hmph!” Oscar sneered, “You see me, your father, and your grandfather as insignificant? My son deserved to die at that time.”

“Grandad.” Abel began, “I’m not sure what Uncle has been through, but I’d like to ask, What do you want to spare Emma?”

“…” Oscar’s gloomy gaze shifted to him, and he continued, “Because she is the mother of four great-

grandchildren, she can be spared from death, but avoiding punishment will be difficult. Allow this woman to leave the Ryker family and have no contact with you, and I will find you a wife who is better than her.”

“What if I disagree?” Abel sneered bitterly. “In my heart, Emma is the best in the world! I don’t want to be with anyone else but Emma!”

“Do you dare to challenge me?” Oscar yelled fiercely.

“What do I have to fear?” Abel smirked coldly. “If I can’t protect the woman I love and leave. her at the mercy of others, am I not a useless husband?”

“So, what do you want?” Oscar shook with rage, pointing at Abel’s nose and shouting, “You don’t even listen to your grandfather’s words?”

“I will certainly listen to you,” Abel remarked, “but if it’s something that separates me from my family, as a man, wouldn’t obeying be laughable?”

“What exactly do you mean? Are you defying your grandfather’s wishes?” Oscar asked.

“I will not be separated from my Emma,” Abel declared, “and neither will Emma and our four children!”

“Abel!” Oscar became enraged, slamming the table and standing up. “Are you threatening me?”
