Chapter 709 The Thirsty Alondra Not his in-laws too. Was it because of the news again?
âAbel?â Ethan barged in. Alondra and Maxwell were behind him. They all looked at Abel. âWhat is happening?â
âThatâs right,â said Alondra in a shrill voice. âDid you cancel your wedding with Emmeline for that girl?â
âMr. Ryker,â said Maxwell solemnly. âYou are disrespecting us here.â
âMaxwell, there have been some technical issues. We are postponing the wedding. We are not canceling it,â explained Abel.
âDid you cheat on Emmeline with that girl?â Alondra cut to the chase.
âWhat?â
âYou need to tell us everything, Abel.â Alondra pressed on. âItâs not right for you to lie to Emmeline like that.â
âEmmeline is my only sister and I will not let anyone take advantage of her,â said Ethan with a threatening tone.
âPlease believe me, Ethan. I put Emma before me. Why would I cheat on her?â Not his in-lews too.

âAbel, I donât care about your mistress. Where is Emma?â asked Maxwell.
Abel chose honesty. âShe was kidnapped. I failed to protect her.â
âKid⦠Kidnapped? By who?â Ethan exclaimed.
âAbel, how did that happen?â asked Maxwell anxiously.
âDid you get rid of Emma because she got in the way and you and your mistress?â Alondra was here to stoke the fire.
âAlondra, I donât need that accusation now.â Abel tried his best to sound polite.
âYou know what they say, itâs always the husband.â
Abel understood how that saying came into being. But he wasnât someone who would murder his fiancé.
âI donât care. You owe us an answer, Abel.â Alondra began to make a scene.
Emmeline once warned Abel that her stepmother, Alondra, was like the typical villainous stepmother one found in a Disney movie. It seemed like she was quite spot on.
âWhat explanation do you want?â Another voice appeared by the doorway. It was Waylonâs. As everyone turned around, Alondra saw two handsome men. The sight of their masculine presence stirred something deep within her. Subconsciously, Alondra approached the two men.
âAlondra! Behave!â Maxwell stopped his wife.
âOh!â Alondra finally woke up. But her eyes were still glued to Waylon. Waylon felt like he was being violated.
âWaylon, Benjamin.â Abel greeted his friends.
âMr. Benjamin, youâre here too.â Maxwell extended the same courtesy.
âYes.â Benjamin nodded.
âAre you here to find out the truth for Emmeline too?â asked Ethan.
