Ambush of the Quadruplets novel Chapter 1490

Abel brushed aside his memories, and beads of sweat trickled down his forehead.

Emmeline wrote in his palm. ‘Does the scar on your back come from that incident?‘

He nodded and smiled, tousling her hair. “I apologize for not telling you. I was afraid that I might have taken a life that night.”

“What about Oliver’s son… Tobias pondered and asked, “Is he dead?”

“It’s hard to say,” Abel frowned. “Although Oliver ambushed me, he didn’t intend to kill me. Instead, I accidentally injured his son, which still counts as taking a life.”

“But you saved Oliver from the attacker! Tobias said.

“Yes!” Abel replied. “If I hadn’t acted quickly, the consequences for Oliver would have been unimaginable!”

“I understand why you wouldn’t want to bring it up. It’s clearly a complicated situation with at lot of history, Brandon said.

“But I’m curious,” Abel said. “With Oliver’s immense wealth, why would he attack me over a piece of jade?”

“There are two reasons,” Roland said. “Master wanted to study that jade, and he also needed a large amount of funding for his esoteric medicine research institute.”

“What happened afterward?” Brandon asked Abel.

“Afterward, I waited quietly to see if the police department would intervene,” Abel said with at serious expression. “But until now, there hasn’t been any movement.”

“Because Oliver knows he’s in the wrong, Tobias said. “If his son died and the police investigated, none of you would be able to escape the consequences!”

Emmeline couldn’t help but hold Abel’s hand. He patted the back of her hand and smiled wryly. “Emma, don’t worry. I haven’t done anything wrong. Nothing will happen to me!”

“What about the pendant you took from the attacker’s neck?” Tobias asked.

Abel said, “I lost it on the way back from Setwell.”

“Lost it?” Roland, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up. “You lost such an important item?”

“When you’re away from home, it’s normal to misplace belongings and money.” Abel chuckled lightly.

“Could all the answers be in that pendant?” Brandon asked.
