Ambush of the Quadruplets novel Chapter 29

“Abel, I was having nightmares. I saw Timmy being killed in my dreams. I’m beyond terrified; can you hold me to sleep, please?”

“I do not have such a sleeping habit.” Abel pushed her away and went to the study.

Hmph, I won’t let you off easily, Abel. Alana was smirking mischievously in the dark.

Abel locked his study’s door, and he called Luca.

“How was it? Is there any lead?”

“We’re still investigating it. However, Mr. Ryker, it seemed that someone else was also inspecting.”

“Someone is also inspecting? What do you mean?” Abel asked with a frown.

“There’s someone else looking for Timothy other than Mr. Campbell and us.”

“Are they on our side?” Abel wondered.

“Yes, they should be helping us.” Luca answered.

“Well, at all costs, find Timothy as soon as possible! Do not startle the kidnappers.”

“Yes, Mr. Ryker.”

The next day, Emmeline arrived at the Ryker Mansion.

Alana’s eyes reddened when she saw Emmeline. “Emmeline, you must be here to laugh at me!”

“Impossible; I’m worried about Timothy too.” She frowned while listening to what Alana said.

“I don’t believe you; you’re a wicked woman! You must be the one who kidnapped Timmy in order to get married to Mr. Ryker! Am I right?”

“What kind of nonsense is this? Alana, you better watch what you say!

“You must be the culprit! I can’t think of anyone else abducting my son!”

“Alana Lane!” Emmeline hissed.

“You’ve got it all wrong. Ms. Louise wouldn’t have done it!” Abel defended Emmeline.

“But I don’t want to see her! Please ask her to leave right now!” Alana threw herself toward Abel.

Abel glanced at Emmeline with mixed feelings.

“Mr. Ryker, I’m sorry for intruding on the two of you. I should get going.” Emmeline’s heart hardened as she said

Abel swallowed down his frustration and nodded toward her; she ran away quickly.

Hmph! Alana smirked triumphantly as Emmeline walked away.
