Chapter 1293 She Is The Ryker Family’s Enemy
Lewis and his wife, Emmeline, entered Oscar’s study with Abel and his wife.
Oscar rarely went into the study since it was so large.
Whenever he did, it was always for a family gathering.
Oscar’s expression had already darkened before they could even take a seat.
Emmeline remained composed in the face of adversity.
What surprised them was that Oscar’s men surrounded the entire room as soon as the two couples entered the study.
“Grandad, what are you doing?” Abel said, furrowing his brow. “We are still family! Isn’t this too confrontational?”
“Family?” Oscar snarled maliciously. “Are the Adelmar Clan members also my family? Who told you that?”
“We don’t care about your grievances with the Adelmar Clan,” Abel stated, adding that the problems of the previous generation should not be passed on to the next. “If I call my bodyguards, will we, grandfather and grandson, be forced to go to war?”
“Will you go to war? You’ve crossed the line!”
“Didn’t I impose myself on you? These are my parents and my wife,” Abel added. “Can’t I protect them?”
“Are you defying your grandfather then?”
“I have to because you don’t treat us like family!”
“It is not for you to decide!” Oscar’s face became serious. “The way the Adelmar Clan treated. me in the past is how I will treat the Adelmar Clan today. You and your parents are free to leave!”
“I want to see who dares to touch my wife!” Abel said as he drew Emmeline into his arms and controlled his anger.
“You’re asking for trouble!” Oscar’s anger flared. “Do you think I won’t harm you?”
“If you have any grievances, Grandfather, feel free to settle them with me.” Emmeline pulled Abel away and confidently stated, “This has nothing to do with my husband and in-laws, so please don’t involve them!”

“You’re admitting without being forced!” Oscar’s eyes widened as he asked, “Can you tell me about your friendship with Robert?”
“Didn’t I already say that?” Emmeline calmly answered, “I am Robert’s follower and his adopted daughter. Robert saved my life and the lives of my three children when we were in at life-or-death situation.”
“Then let me ask you again,” Oscar continued. “Is Adelmar Group not owned by Robert? Waylon, the newly appointed Imperial Palace lord, is also his son!”
“My foster father gave me the industry; Waylon is my eldest martial brother; and, of course, he is also Robert’s son!” Why ask me again when Old Mr. Ryker already knows everything?”
“I only had suspicions before,” Oscar admitted, narrowing his eyes, “but today’s birthday video helped confirm these thoughts for me. I really should thank whoever sent me the video.”
“Dad,” Lewis grimaced, “whoever that person is, it’s obvious they have bad intentions and are trying to cause conflict in our family! Why are you expressing gratitude to them?”
“Yes, Dad,” Rosaline’s eyes grew fiery. “Please don’t fall for these villains’ schemes and create. chaos in our Ryker family! They can’t stand to see us succeed!”
