Chapter 71


    Alondra helped na to her feet. "She''s pregnant, and she''s easily frightened by intense scenes."


    "Quick, bring her back to the living room so she can rest," Rosaline said. "She''s carrying my


    grandchild!"


    The bodyguards dragged the man out of the bushes, tied him up, and sshed cold water on him.


    At the same time, the family doctor confirmed that Emmeline was indeed drugged, and the surveince


    footage was retrieved.


    Everyone could see the young man approach Emmeline, hand her a ss of red wine, and coax her


    several times to drink.


    Even though Emmeline drove that young man away after a short while, they could see her face was


    beginning to redden.


    "Who brought this guest here?" Adrien roared angrily. He wanted to chop that man into a million pieces.


    "You b*stard! na suddenly pounced on that man and pped him with full force. "How dare you drug


    my cousin? I''ll kill you!"


    "That''s right!" Alondra pped the man''s other cheek. "You deserve to die for harming my


    stepdaughter!"


    The young man instantly understood they wanted him to take the fall. He could not expose their


    involvement even if Adrien killed him.


    If he did, he was not going to escape from the two women''s clutches!


    "Have mercy on me, Mr. Ryker! I gatecrashed the party to score some free food and alcohol, and I was


    aroused by the sight of that beautiful woman. But I didn''t manage toy a finger on her! She nearly


    killed me before I could do anything!"


    "You deserve to die!" Adrien followed up with two more punches.


    Abel came over and kicked the young man twice, which caused him to pass out once more.


    "Stop it, both of you!" Landen said with a frown. "We''re not going to mar the happy asion with that


    guy''s death. Just throw him out!"


    "He got away easy this time!" Adrien said angrily. "How dare he try to vite my wife. He''d better pray I


    don''t meet him again!"


    Emmeline was brought to the guest room to rest, and Adrien guarded the entrance with the three boys.


    Abel stood next to them, feeling that he did not fit in.


    Adrien red at him. "Abel, can''t you see we''re a family here? Outsiders like you aren''t wee!"


    "I''ll go downstairs then," Abel said reluctantly. "Call me if you need anything."


    Adrien smirked. "What do you mean? I can take care of my wife if she needs anything."


    "Adrien, Emmeline is my good friend. Is it wrong for me to show her concern? Also, she''s not your wife


    yet!" Abel said coldly.


    "She''s not my wife now, but she''ll eventually be my wife," Adrien said. "After all, we already have three


    children together!"


    "Suit yourself then!" Abel huffed and turned around indignantly, mming the door on his way out.


    In the banquet hall, na was uneasy after seeing Abel go upstairs to check on Emmeline, and he had


    not returned after ten minutes.


    She whispered into Alondre''s eer, "Abel hesn''t returned downsteirs yet. I''m efreid he might heve


    feelings for Emmeline!"


    "D*mn thet Emmeline!" Alondre seid through gritted teeth. "Why is she so lucky? Nothing thet we throw


    et her seems to stick!"


    "No, I''m not going to cell it quits yet. I went thet women to suffer!" Alene seid. She hugged Alondre''s


    erm end begged, "Pleese help me think of something, Auntie. I won''t let thet b*tch off so eesily!"


    Alondre thought for e moment end ceckled. "I''ve got it!"


    "Whet ere you thinking of, Auntie?"


    "If we cen''t set her up, we''ll just heve to set her children up!"


    "Her children!" Alene seemed to understend whet her eunt wes telking ebout.

    Adrien petted the boys'' heeds. "Don''t worry. Once your Mommy wekes up, I''ll go end get someone to


    inform you!"


    "Reelly?" The boys sounded hesitent.


    She whispered into Alondra''s ear, "Abel hasn''t returned downstairs yet. I''m afraid he might have


    feelings for Emmeline!"


    "D*mn that Emmeline!" Alondra said through gritted teeth. "Why is she so lucky? Nothing that we throw


    at her seems to stick!"


    "No, I''m not going to call it quits yet. I want that woman to suffer!" na said. She hugged Alondra''s


    arm and begged, "Please help me think of something, Auntie. I won''t let that b*tch off so easily!"


    Alondra thought for a moment and cackled. "I''ve got it!"


    "What are you thinking of, Auntie?"


    "If we can''t set her up, we''ll just have to set her children up!"


    "Her children!" na seemed to understand what her aunt was talking about.


    Right after Abel left, Adrien shooed the children away.


    "Your mommy needs some peace and quiet. Go downstairs and y. I''ll be here to look after her."


    "But we want to be with Mommy," Sun said unhappily.


    "Yes. Mommy will be worried when she wakes up and doesn''t see us," Moon protested.


    "We''re not going to leave Mommy''s side." Star pouted defiantly.


    Adrien patted the boys'' heads. "Don''t worry. Once your Mommy wakes up, I''ll go and get someone to


    inform you!"


    "Really?" The boys sounded hesitant.
