Chapter 1328: Chapter 1330 Sharing Glory and Shame, Standing Together in Life and Death

“Grandad,” Abel said from the side, “You were the one who started it, and now you blame others?”

“Yeah,” Emmeline chimed in. “I shall follow in your lead, Old Mr. Ryker, and deal with you first. An eye for an eye!”

As she spoke, she raised a silver needle and pretended to aim it at Oscar’s heart.

“Wait, how can you do this?!” Oscar panicked. “I have no quarrel with you!”

“Do you not?” Emmeline retorted. “I belong to the Adelmar family. So, tell me, should I save you or kill you?”

With that, she removed the mask from her face.

Oscar was stupefied for a long moment before exclaiming, “Wonder Doctor, you’re Emmeline?!”

“Yes,” Emmeline admitted with a quirked brow. “I am both the Wonder Doctor and Robert’s foster daughter. Old Mr. Ryker, tell me, should I save you or kill you?”

“You… You… You!” Oscar stammered, unable to find words beyond those three ‘you’s.”

He had just said that vengeance must be sought and that he wouldn’t spare anyone from the Adelmar Clan. So, according to his own logic, shouldn’t he eliminate the Wonder Doctor, who stood before him, since she was from the Adelmar Clan?

“Old Mr. Ryker has a point,” said Emmeline. “An eye for an eye is the way to go.”

The silver needle suddenly darted toward Old Mr. Ryker’s chest.

“Ah!” Oscar cried out. “You wretched girl! I was wrong, okay?! I was wrong!”

“Oh, but you’re very much right,” Emmeline insinuated. “How can someone like you with a distinguished. life be wrong? I should follow your belief and seek vengeance no matter what!”

“Abel,” Oscar fumed. “What are you doing just standing there? Are you not going to stop your wife?!”

“Grandfather,” Abel said, folding his arms. “Emma’s only learning from you. You said we should eliminate anyone from the Adelmar Clan on sight. Now that someone from the Adelmar Clan has caught up to you, it’s just your bad luck!”

“When will the cycle of revenge end, then?!” Oscar argued. “I’m old and confused, alright?! Tell Emma to move the needle away!”

“I can ask Emma to remove the needle,” Abel replied, “but what about your grudge with the Adelmar Clan? You need to make things clear with Emma. She has finally caught up to you!”

“I don’t have any grudge against the Adelmar Clan,” Oscar admitted. “It was all on me for killing your eldest uncle back then. Robert had wanted to help me, but my petty self misunderstood him. I wrongly implicated him and cost my eldest son his life. I regretted it deeply afterward. It’s not Robert’s fault; it’s mine. It’s all my fault!”

“So, the Adelmar Clan isn’t your enemy then?” Emmeline asked.

“No, not at all, Oscar said. “I used to be good friends with Robert.”

“What about me?” Emmeline asked, blinking. “Am I still your enemy, Old Mr. Ryker?”

“You are definitely not,” Oscar replied. “Moreover, you’re the Wonder Doctor who saved my life several times, my daughter-in-law, and the mother of my four great-grandchildren!”

“That settles it then,” Emmeline said. “We’ve finally turned enemies into friends.”

“But I miss my four great-grandchildren, Oscar sobbed. “Ever since chasing you guys away, I haven’t gone a day without thinking about them. To be honest, I regretted it the very next day. I’m truly getting old and confused!”

“The boys miss their great-grandfather too,” Emmeline said. “If you’re willing to let bygones be bygones, I’ll call them and ask them to come back to see Great-grandfather.”

“Not just to see,” Oscar said, “but to come back. Everyone is to stay in Struyria just like before and visit.

each other whenever.”

“Rest assured, Grandad,” Abel said. “I’ll bring my parents and the boys back once I straighten out the mess in Ryker Group.”

“That’s good. That’s good…” Oscar held Abel’s hand. “I should return the Ryker Group to your hands.

Your cousin, Adrien, he… I can’t say I’m impressed.”

I told you guys I couldn’t do it, did I not? Adrien was speechless. You guys forced me into this!

“You shouldn’t overlook Adrien’s contributions, Grandad,” Abel said. “Adrien has delved deep into hotel management in the past two years, and he’s done a great job with our family’s hotels.”

“Let him continue managing the hotels and utilize his strengths, then!”

“Thank you, Grandad!” Adrien said with relief. I’m finally free!”

“And as for Adam,” Abel said, “I have a few businesses overseas that require someone with his courage and vision. Let Adam manage them.”

“Will do,” Adam said happily. “I’ve been waiting for this. I was afraid you wouldn’t trust me, Abel.”

“After going through all this, I trust you completely,” Abel said. “After all, we are the men of the Ryker family, bound by honor, sharing life and death together.”

“Honor, sharing life and death together!”
