Ambush of the Quadruplets novel Chapter 542

“We don’t have much of a choice now,” Lewis said. “Let’s just go over to the Ryker Mansion first. Your mother and Evelyn will come along too. If the need arises, just apologize to your grandfather and tell him you’re dating Evelyn. Once the media gets wind of that, they’ll forget this ever happened!”

“I don’t agree,” Abel said curtly. “I would rather the whole city think I’m gay than to lie and say I’m dating Evelyn Murphy.”

“You… You…!! Hgghhh!” Lewis wheezed angrily.

“Father, please calm down,” Abel told Lewis. “It’s no big deal, I’ll handle it.”

“You’ll handle it? Pfft! I’ll watch and see how you handle it!” Lewis slammed the phone down.

“God d*mn it!” Abel cursed. “Who did this to me?”

“Abel…” Emmeline called Abel’s name gently. “This must be Adam’s doing. Ever since you brought me back from his place, he’s held a grudge against you…”

“I thought so too,” Abel agreed with her. “That man is rotten inside and out.”

“Oh, yes! I almost forgot,” Emmeline said as she suddenly recalled her encounter with Alana Lane. “I met a strange woman at Adam’s place too.”

“Strange woman?” Abel cocked an eyebrow. “What do you mean?”

“The woman was incredibly beautiful, but she only had three fingers on her left hand, and she addressed Adam very formally,” Emmeline said.

“Alana?” Abel reared back in shock “You met Alana?”

“How would I know what her name is? I just heard Adam ask her what level she was at, and she told him Level 2,” Emmeline told Abel.

“What’s this level nonsense?” Abel was confused.

“It sounded like they were talking about assassin training,” Emmeline said. “Adam told her she was not assassin material.”

Abel’s expression turned grave as he took in a deep breath. “So that’s where you’ve been all this while, Alana? Hiding with Adam and becoming his assassin?” Abel said out loud.

“Abel, is this going to trouble you?” Emmeline asked on purpose.

“Yup,” Abel nodded slowly. “Big trouble.”

“So, what will you do?” Emmeline asked.

“I’ll talk it out with Adam soon,” Abel replied. “But I’ll have to deal with the family meeting first.”
