The Quadruplets Are Mine?

Chapter 1490 Complicated Situation. 

Abel brushed aside his memories, and beads of sweat trickled down his forehead.

Emmeline wrote in his palm. ‘Does the scar on your back come from that incident?‘

He nodded and smiled, tousling her hair. “I apologize for not telling you. I was afraid that I might have taken a life that night.”

“What about Oliver’s son… Tobias pondered and asked, “Is he dead?” This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

“It’s hard to say,” Abel frowned. “Although Oliver ambushed me, he didn’t intend to kill me. Instead, I accidentally injured his son, which still counts as taking a life.”

“But you saved Oliver from the attacker! Tobias said.

“Yes!” Abel replied. “If I hadn’t acted quickly, the consequences for Oliver would have been unimaginable!”

“I understand why you wouldn’t want to bring it up. It’s clearly a complicated situation with at lot of history, Brandon said.

“But I’m curious,” Abel said. “With Oliver’s immense wealth, why would he attack me over a piece of jade?”

“There are two reasons,” Roland said. “Master wanted to study that jade, and he also needed a large amount of funding for his esoteric medicine research institute.”

“What happened afterward?” Brandon asked Abel.

“Afterward, I waited quietly to see if the police department would intervene,” Abel said with at serious expression. “But until now, there hasn’t been any movement.”

“Because Oliver knows he’s in the wrong, Tobias said. “If his son died and the police investigated, none of you would be able to escape the consequences!”

Emmeline couldn’t help but hold Abel’s hand. He patted the back of her hand and smiled wryly. “Emma, don’t worry. I haven’t done anything wrong. Nothing will happen to me!”

“What about the pendant you took from the attacker’s neck?” Tobias asked.

Abel said, “I lost it on the way back from Setwell.”

“Lost it?” Roland, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up. “You lost such an important item?”

“When you’re away from home, it’s normal to misplace belongings and money.” Abel chuckled lightly.

“Could all the answers be in that pendant?” Brandon asked.

Tobias furrowed his brow. “That pendant would at least reveal the identity of the attacked Oliver. But the problem is that pendant…”

Roland suddenly looked at Emmeline and said, “She might know the whereabouts of that pendant.”

Emmeline widened her eyes in surprise, wondering, l’hy me?

Brandon said sternly, “Roland, please don’t make reckless statements!”

Abel furrowed his brows, “Mr. Harding, what do you mean?”

Roland casually took out a very old piece of paper from his pocket.

Abel’s gaze suddenly froze; he recognized that paper. It was the paper he wrote to Hogan, the jade craftsman, years ago, with the words “Emmeline Louise” on it. Abel wondered how this. paper could, after so many years and miles apart, end up in Roland’s hands.

“What is this?” Brandon leaned forward and asked.

Roland slowly unfolded the folded paper and laid it on the table. Sure enough, there were two words in the middle of the paper, “Emmeline Louise.” It was Abel’s handwriting, but beneath his handwriting, there were a few more words written in an elegant script.

Abel stared at it; it said, “If you encounter this Emmeline, choose between the two Jade Kings!”

“I didn’t write these words!” Abel said. “How is it related to Emma?”

Brandon asked, “Roland, what is going on?”

A cold light flashed in Abel’s eyes as he turned to Tobias and asked, “Was today’s meeting part of your plan?”

Tobias lowered his eyes and remained silent.

Abel’s gaze turned icy as he shot a look at Brandon. “Did you have a hand in this plan, too? Is this something you initiated the first time you met Emma?”

“Abel. Brandon quickly stood up. T, Brandon Wyatt, would never stoop so low as to engage in such schemes. I just found out about today’s events as well.” Ilis gaze suddenly turned toward Tobias as he sternly asked, “Dad! Are you using me?”

Tobias waved his hand, gesturing for both of them to sit down. “Calm down, calm down!”

Roland said, “If you encounter this Emmeline, choose between the two Jade Kings. This is the handwriting of Master Ryker. After the incident that night, Oliver and his son disappeared.”

“What does that have to do with me?” Abel said sternly. “I didn’t do anything to him!”

“Later, I found this paper on his desk. Roland said. “I knew that Master’s disappearance must be related to Emmeline.”

“It’s just a coincidence, Abel said. ‘Emma’s name was something I randomly wrote!”

“Choose between the two Jade Kings undoubtedly refers to my master’s colleague, Remy Zephyr.” Roland continued. “But what does Mr. Zephyr have to do with it? Only Emmeline can unravel this mystery!”

Emmeline looked puzzled, shaking her head repeatedly, wondering how she could know.
