“Benjamin, I don’t have a grudge against you, and I don’t want to make enemies. I suggest you mind your own business.” Adam said.
“Abel is my friend. If you are an enemy of his, that means you are my enemy as well.” Benjamin said.
“I already told Abel that this is all a misunderstanding.
“A misunderstanding? Where is Emmett then?” Benjamin asked.
“Upstairs.”
“Adam, please ask him to come downstairs. If you hurt him, don’t blame me for turning against you.” Abel said coldly.
“I’m very polite towards Emmett. Why would I hurt him?” Adam said.
“I hope so.”
Adam clapped his hands. A servant came over. Adam asked him to bring Emmett downstairs. The servant complied and went upstairs to open the door of Emmett’s room.
Emmeline ran out of her room and was shocked when she saw what was happening when she ran downstairs.
There was a stand-off between Abel’s men, Benjamin’s men, and Adam’s men. All of them were pointing their guns at each other.
“Emmett! How are you?” Abel saw Emmeline and shouted.
“Mr. Ryker! I’m so glad to see you here. I was so afraid.” Emmeline ran downstairs and went into Abel’s embrace.
“It’s all right now. It was all my fault for being careless. I almost made a huge mistake,” Abel said while patting Emmeline’s back.
He put Emmeline down and checked on her to make sure she was fine. Benjamin was also relieved to see that Emmeline was safe.
“Ben, you’re here too? Thank you.” Emmeline waved her hand.
