The Quadruplets Are Mine?

Chapter 1495 Stubborn 

“Abel!” Adam quickly pulled his feet away from the side table. “Zahn is your nephew, Abel. Can’t you find a way to resolve this peacefully?”

“He was driving without a license, involved in a hit and run, and suspected of stealing a car!” Abel’s voice carried a tone of firm determination. “Do you think I have the authority to decide whether he should face legal consequences or not?”

“I don’t have that authority!” Adam’s bitterness was evident. ‘But you do, Abel. You have the final say.”

“Hmph!” Abel sneered. “You overestimate my influence. I don’t control the law.”

“But Zahn claims you have close connections with those high–ranking officials. They even refer to you as “brothers“!”

“Just because we have a close relationship doesn’t mean I have the freedom to manipulate the law,” Abel firmly stated. “The immediate priority is for Zahn to surrender himself promptly. I will handle the aftermath.”

“If Zahn surrenders, won’t he just end up in prison?” Adam’s furrowed eyebrows reflected his concern. “Moreover, the car belongs to Emmeline. You need to take care of this.”

Slap!

Abel’s hand struck the table. “If the car didn’t belong to Emmeline, Zahn would have faced consequences long ago!”

“Aren’t you still responsible for this? Otherwise, I will come to you!” Adam’s tone held a touch. of despair.

“Then let him surrender. Otherwise, no one can save him!”

“My dear son!” Adam’s wife found her voice, expressing distress. She sank beneath the table, lamenting, “Zahn cannot go to jail. How will I manage if you do!”

Abel’s face paled. “If you must cry, do it outside!” he said angrily.

The security guard at the doorheard the commotion and escorted Adam’s wife out, supported by Alana, who coincidentally arrived.

Alana had met Adam and his wife the previous day. In Adam’s perception, Alana was his sister–in–law and got along well with Abel.

“Oh, what happened?” Alána feigned concern.

“Abel is ungrateful.” Adam’s wife sniffled. “I took care of him when he was young, and now he forgets!”

“Abel has the Altney Steel family supporting him. How could he remember you?” Alana whispered.

“Are you talking about Emmeline?” Adam’s wife said. “I heard Abel spoils her endlessly. The car Zahn drove was bought for her.”

“Not just that car. There are many more, Alana whispered. “Emmeline desires not only material possessions but also control over people!”

“What do you mean by ‘control?” Adam’s wife widened her eyes. “Explain.”

Alana glanced around cautiously and whispered, “I used to have a good relationship with Abel, but then Emmeline intervened. Now he doesn’t acknowledge me!”

“You need to fight for him!” Adam’s wife raised her voice. “Their relationship won’t last. According to their family history, they-”

“Lower your voice,” Alana interrupted, covering her mouth. “I can’t fight for him. Abel is determined to be with Emmeline!”

“That’s unacceptable!” Adam’s wife said. “It will create chaos in our family!”

“But Abel is already devoted to Emmeline. They’ve even taken engagement photos!” © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

“I’ve seen them!” Adam’s wife exclaimed. “I thought she was a celebrity when Adam showed me. Clearly, she has captured his heart!”

“As long as both of you are aware.” Alana inwardly sneered, feeling it was enough, and left.

In the office, Adam appeared anxious. “Abel, we’re brothers. For the sake of our mother, let Zahn go.”

“Despite everything, you remain stubborn!” Abel sighed. “I’m not unwilling to let Zahn off. He has broken the law, and if he doesn’t surrender, no one can help him!”

“Just inform the authorities, and Zahn will be fine!”

“Let me be clear one last time! Abel’s patience was wearing thin. “I won’t pursue the car theft matter, and I’ll compensate the victim myself. If Zahn surrenders, he’ll face a shorter sentence, perhaps around a year. But if he doesn’t, it could be three to seven years. You need to decide.”
