Chapter 677


    “We can set a date next time,” Rosaline continued to maintain her politeness.


    “Alondra,” After exchanging a greeting with Lewis, he tugged at Alondra, “You’re talking way too much.”


    “What’s wrong with that?” Alondra argued, “Shouldn’t women talk about cosmetics, fashion, and bags?


    Unlike you guys, guys like you only know to talk about women.:


    Both Lewis and Maxwell stiffened.


    Emmeline’s face turned slightly darker too.


    She was lucky that this woman with exaggerated makeup here was not her biological mother. Or else,


    she would feel so embarrassed that she wanted to find a hole to hide in.


    “Hey, Rosaline,” Suddenly, Julianna’s voice came from behind them, “Are you meeting up with your in-


    laws?”


    Everyone turned around and saw that it was Julianna. Landen, Adrien, and Lizbeth were with her too.


    “What brings you guys here?” Rosaline put on a faint smile, “Are you having a family gathering?”


    “Of course not,” Julianna replied, “We are meeting up with our inws as well. Didn’t you see that we


    are waiting for the Murphy family from Altney?”


    “I see. Congrattions on that,” Rosaline was being perfunctory.


    “Our inws are the most wealthy family in Atney,” Julianna shot a look at Maxwell and Alondra, “Unlike


    some who were just small businessmen.”


    Rosaline’s face froze.


    “What’s more, our daughters-inw are the heirs of the Murphy family. No ordinarydies could


    compare to them.”


    Julianna was saying that with some jealousy in her voice as she directed her gaze at Emmeline.


    “Mum,” Adrien pulled his mother’s arm and warned, “You should stop talking.”


    “Who do you mean when you say no ordinary girls?” Another voice came from the door.


    Everyone turned around and saw that it was Evelyn who made her appearance gracefully. Together


    with her were Flynn and Adam.


    “You’re finally here, Mr. Murphy and Evelyn!” Julianna eagerly weed them, “We are waiting


    fervently for you siblings.”


    “Auntie Julianna,” Evelyn shot a nce at Emmeline, “Who are you talking about just now?”


    “Who else would I be talking about?” Julianna replied, “Both you and Liz are the treasured daughters of


    the Murphy family, unlike some other girl.”


    “Emmeline is in fact…” Rosaline was about to reveal Emmeline’s identity upon hearing their


    conversation.


    “Let’s not do this, Madame Ryker,” Emmeline stopped her, “There’s no reason for us to drag this out


    with them.”


    Rosaline held back what she wanted to say, but Adam frowned as he could not hear the full sentence.


    What was Rosaline trying to say about Emmeline?


    Last time when Evelyn was bedridden, Mr. Ywain had guessed that Emmeline was a disciple from the


    Adelmar n.


    However, Evelyn had begged Emmeline to cure her, to which she failed.


    In the end, she had to rely on the famous Wonder Doctor who used to save their grandparent''s life.


    Only she could cure Evelyn.


    Adam was about to vanquish his suspicion that Emmeline was one of the Adelmars, but Rosaline


    almost let it slip…

    “Mr. Ryker,” Evelyn tugged at Adam’s shirt, “Stop overthinking. Emmeline is just an ordinary girl from a


    tiny family.”


    Abel coughed loudly to interrupt them. He asked Flynn, “How is the Murphy family business ofte?”


    Flynn’s face turned pale upon hearing that. He replied hastily, “Mr. Abel, Ms. Louise, we are just


    catching our breathtely. Please spare us!”


    “Then, watch your sister’s mouth,” Emmeline reminded him, “I will be happy to see Ms. Murphy


    bing an outcast again.”


    Evelyn was stunned.


    She was so busy running her mouth that she had forgotten about her embarrassing episode which


    almost made her get shunned by her own family.


    She could not forget that Emmeline had the backing of the Rykers and the Adelmars.


    The two mighty corporations would outmatch the Murphys easily.


    If another tragedy happened to the Murphys again, Paul would really ask her to get lost!


    “Evelyn,” Flynn’s face darkened, “Apologize to Ms. Louise now!”


    “I…” Evelyn pouted.


    “Quick, Evelyn,” Flynn’s heart was racing, “Did you know the saying ‘Once on shore, one prays no


    more’? That’s you right now!”


    Evelyn was not ready to give up her dignity yet. She shot a helpless look at Adam. However, the man’s


    face was as ck as coal. He did not seem the least bit interested in covering up for her.


    Considering that Evelyn did not want anything bad to happen to the Murphys again, she reluctantly


    apologized to Emmeline, “Emmeline, I am sorry!”


    “I don’t recall that I want to forgive you, do I?” Emmeline replied cynically.


    Evelyn’s face was drained of colors. She wailed, “Emma, you can’t do that to the Murphys again.”


    “That depends on how you behave,” Emmeline was tilting her head at Evelyn, and a cold smile was


    hanging on her face.


    Evelyn sucked in a deep breath, “What should I do?”


    “What do you think?” Emmeline narrowed her charming pair of eyes.
