Adrien and Adam approached Abel and joined hands with him.
Emmeline always remembered the âLiving Agonyâ she left in Adam, and now reassured, she discreetly.
patted Adam a few times to release the pressure points she had set on him.
Adam suddenly felt much more refreshed than before. He thought it was due to the united efforts of the brothers, and it greatly lifted his spirits.
A few days later, Abel, using the power of Ryker Inc. overseas, invested heavily. This caused Ryker Group in Struyria to increase its holdings by twenty percent. Subsequently, stock manipulators caused the stock. price to plummet, leading to a mass sell-off by investors. Ryker Group took advantage of the situation and repurchased its controlling stake.
Ryker Group was once again in Abelâs hands. His decisive actions and ruthless tactics further solidified his reputation as a formidable figure.
A few days later, Lewis and Rosaline returned to Struyria with their four children. Robert also came, but he refused to meet with Oscar.
Oscar felt frustrated and asked Emmeline, âWhere is your father staying? He wonât come to see me, Emmeline chuckled. âHeâs staying at the Grand Struyria Hotel under the Adelmar Group. Heâs waiting see your attitude!â
âThat old man!â Oscar grumbled. âHeâs ten years younger than me and still puts on airs in front of his senior. So what if I have to go invite him? So be it!â
An hour later, Oscar arrived in a commanding black suit at the Grand Struyria Hotel, and the elegant and distinguished Robert received him.
As they met, both menâs eyes welled up with tears.
Oscar grasped Robertâs hand and said, âItâs been decades since we last met. Now that I see you again, I realize how much Iâve missed you!â
Robert stroked his gray beard and smiled. âYou may not have seen me, but Iâve seen you several times.â
âYou have?â Oscar exclaimed, âWhen?â
âI saw you five years ago in the Rykerâs residence.â Robert chuckled. âI was in Struyria founding the Adelmar Group, and I missed you a bit. So, I went to your place to see you. At the time, you were in the study drinking tea, and I sat on a tree outside the window. I watched as you finished an entire pot of tea, hahaha!â
Oscarâs countenance shifted multitudes within that minute. He felt deeply embarrassed. If Robert held onto his grudges like he had, he wouldâve died by his hands several times!
âIâm truly ashamed!â Oscar held Robertâs hand and lowered his head. âI was narrow-minded before, dear brother. Please forgive me!â
âWe should thank Abel and Emma,â Robert said. âIf it werenât for their happy union, resolving our enmity would have been challenging.â
âThatâs right!â Oscar looked at Abel and Emmeline with moist eyes. âAbel, Emma, thank you both from the bottom of my heart!â
Emmeline blushed and waved her hand. âDonât mention it, Grandad. We are destined to be one family!â
âYes, destined to be one family!â Oscar held Robertâs hand. âLetâs go over to mine!â
When they returned to the Rykerâs residence, they received a couple of unexpected guests-Maxwell and Alondra, who bowed deeply upon seeing Robert.
Maxwell choked up. âI was foolish back then for driving Emma out of our family. If you hadnât taken her in, my daughter and grandsons would have perished!â
Slap! Slap! Alondra slapped herself on both cheeks and cried, âIt was mainly my fault. You can hit and scold me; I will take it all. It was because of that d*mned Alana that I repeatedly hurt Emmeline. Iâve learned my lesson now. Please forgive me, and Emma, please forgive me!â
At that, she begged, but Emmeline stopped her in time. âItâs alright. Itâs all in the past now. Alana is already. dead, and I donât want to hold grudges anymore. As long as you treat my father well, I wonât mistreat you in the future.â
âThatâs right,â Robert nodded. âEmma has the right mindset!â
âThank you, Emma!â Alondra was deeply moved, tears streaming down her face, her nose runny, crying with genuine sincerity.
