Ambush of the Quadruplets novel Chapter 660

“Ah!” Evelyn jerked in her seat.

She hadn’t expected Abel to question her in such a straightforward manner. It caught her off guard.

“Why are you so nervous, Ms. Evelyn?” Abel sounded murderous.

“I…”

Evelyn scrambled to right her posture. “Of course I am. Emma is my friend. Why wouldn’t I be worried?”

“I don’t think that’s all. You seem…afraid.” He watched her intently. “Scared that I found something out?”

“Mr. Abel.” She got up from the couch. “What’s going on here? Are you suspecting me of trying to hurt Emmeline?”

“You’re honest.” He smiled coldly. “You were the only outsider who knew Janie was in Falmouth.”

“I only heard Emmeline mention it in passing,” she argued. “What does Janie being in Falmouth have anything to do with me?”

“You used it as an excuse to get Emma there and orchestrated an accident!”

“Is Emmeline that gullible?” She sounded flustered. “How could I fool her?”

“Emma attaches great importance to Janie. She’s currently looking for her. It’s an exploitable weakness!”

“…Mr. Abel!”

Evelyn caved and began to cry. “Why are you accusing me of this for no reason? What evidence do you have to prove that I did this? Do you really think I’m actually capable of something like that? Orchestrating an accident? You think too highly of me. I feel so sad…”

“You have a motive,” he said. “You kept plotting against her a while ago. You’ve done quite a bit. Aren’t you waiting for an opportunity to take revenge?”

“…”

“You tried to drug her and cause a scandal. You’re telling me you wouldn’t hire someone to cause an accident?”

“Mr. Abel!” She cried. “You’ve got the wrong person. It isn’t difficult to drug someone but I don’t have the means to cause a car accident!”

“I need you to be honest and tell me who the hell is backing you up?” His voice was stern. “I don’t think you’re the only person behind this.”

“I didn’t do it,” she wailed. “Why are you treating me like this?! I’m still a daughter of the Murphy family!”

“Hah! I don’t care who you are. Lay a hand on Emma and I’ll see you dead even if you’re the ruler of heaven itself.”
