“I’ve misspoke, Emma.” Julianna slapped herself. “Ultimately, it was our greed that gave Edmond Murphy an opportunity. It’s all on us. We’re sorry!”
“In a family, we should trust and live harmoniously with each other,” Emmeline said. “If it weren’t for the fact that Adam and Adrien are doing well, we wouldn’t have rushed back from Osea to deal with these troublesome matters.”
“Emma,” Landen said, “Julianna has already apologized. As adults, please let bygones be bygones and focus on helping Ryker Group.
“Hubby?” Emmeline held onto Abel’s arm. “What’s your take on this? If you’re still angry, I’ll return to Osea immediately. Let them do whatever they want. It’s none of our business.”
“The past is in the past,” Abel said, ruffling her head. “Even if my grandfather doesn’t favor me anymore, I can’t stand by and watch the Ryker family being bullied like this. Right now, our priority is to rescue, Grandad. As for Ryker Group, we’ll deal with it once I catch Edmond Murphy and force him to release the shares!”
Emmeline smirked, knowing that her husband had an iron-blooded resolve and wouldn’t ignore this matter.
Abel, Julianna said with tears, “Thank you-to you and Emmeline-for helping us. Thank you!”
She understood that if Abel had chosen to stay out of this, their family’s prosperity and wealth would have. been in jeopardy.
“Abel,” Landen said, “The fact there are drugs hidden among Ryker Group’s products is also part of Edmond Murphy’s conspiracy. We are victims too!”
“This matter will be cleared up,” Abel assured them. Leave it to me!”
Landen and Julianna exchanged a look, feeling reassured.
“Abel,” Adam spoke up. “What’s your plan? I will follow your lead!”
“And me!” Adrien added. “I will do everything you say!”
“Let’s discuss the plan,” Abel said. “Let’s go to my study.”
The three brothers made a plan, and before dawn, Abel’s mercenaries surrounded the Ryker’s residence.
Indeed, it was the enemies of Old Mr. Ryker who had incited the shareholders to cause trouble. Taking advantage of the shareholder riot, the enemies besieged the mansion, determined to force Oscar to take drastic measures.
The mercenaries dispersed the shareholders through intimidation, and the enemies were captured by Abel. But Oscar was already in a critical condition, and it seemed like he might not make it.
