Julianna, too, dropped onto the floor.
She was delighted.
Firstly, the position of Ryker Groupâs CEO had finally become her sonâs. Secondly, Rosalineâs family had suddenly become destitute. Even though they had four grandsons, they were now worse off than beggars!
Hahaha! The woman was just moments away from throwing a celebratory parade.
âAdrien, Iâll wait for you on the 89th floor of Ryker Group tomorrow to do the handover,â said Abel to Adrien as he pulled the latter up. âI shall leave the company in your hands.â
âNo, Abel, please spare me. Youâre doing this on purpose, arenât you?â Adrien was on the verge of tears. âYou know Iâm not cut out for this. I just want to live my life free of worries with Liz right now and give you a couple of nieces and nephews. I have no interest in the cutthroat, scheming business world.
Abel, save me!â
âAdrien,â Abel patted his shoulder, âtake good care of yourself.â
With that, he held Emmelineâs hand on one side and linked his other arm with Rosaline, leading his parents and wife away.
Meanwhile, Oscar was silent.
The Steiner mother and daughter, who had been eavesdropping by the bathroom, were now staring at each other in shock.
Just a moment ago, they were overjoyed when they heard that Oscar wanted Emmeline out of the Ryker family. The thorn in their side had finally been removed!
Now, however, the series of actions taken by Abel had left both of them feeling completely dejected.
It turned out that Abel was willing to give up everything, even the entire Ryker Group, for Emmeline!
What man in this day and age would be willing to abandon their status, position, and wealth for the sake of their wife and child?! Yet Abel had done it. Look at him, walking away resolutely with Emmeline in his arms!
âMom, what do we do now?â Sonia was on the verge of tears. âAfter all our efforts, we managed to drive Emmeline away, but at the same time, weâve also driven Abel away. What do I have to look forward to now?â
âDo you like Adrien then?â Michaela asked. âHeâs become the heir to the Ryker Group, hasnât he?â
âWhat are you talking about?!â Sonia pouted. âI liked Abel from the time we went to college together! I donât love Abel just because heâs the CEO of Ryker Group! I love him for who he was before that!â
âDo you still like him now?â Michaela frowned at her daughter. âAbel is now a pauper!â
Sonia lowered her head and shook it after a while. âHow will he support me now that he has nothing? I canât endure so much hardship. I think I should forget about this.
Sigh, Michaela sighed. âThatâs for the better. Iâll introduce you to some scions of power in Struyria later.
It guarantee you that theyâre a hundred times better than Abel is now!â
However, Sonia disagreed. She still thought Abel was better than any of those guys, no matter how. He might not have the power or the money anymore, but he still had a look that no one could compare to As Abel brought his parents and wife back to The Precipice, Daisy brought the quadruplets over as well.
Levan Mansion was Ryker Groupâs property, and according to Old Mr. Rykerâs wishes, it was to be returned tomorrow. However, The Precipice was Abelâs own property, and Old Mr. Ryker had no say in it.
âAbel,â Rosaline said, âI still have a lot of jewelry worth millions. Have no fear.â
âI have stocks in other companies too,â Lewis added, âalso worth millions.â
âHubby, donât forget I still have Adelmar Group,â Emmeline reminded him. Iâm sure itâs no less than the Ryker Group.â
Abel chuckled. âAre you guys feeling sorry for me and trying to cheer me up?â
âWeâre a family; how can you say that we feel sorry for you?!â Rosaline argued. âWeâre concerned about you, worried that youâre panickingâ
âWhy donât I give you guys a surprise, then?â Abel said with a cheeky grin. âCome with me to the study.â
A surprise? What surprise can he possibly have at a time like this?!
