Quadruplets Unite: Mother's Words Are Law novel Chapter 701

Chapter 701 Emmeline’s Dowry

"Waylon?" Benjamin was surprised.

"Mr. Adelmar." Abel recalled that Adelmar Island would send Emmeline's dowry.

Waylon said coldly, "How could you two even have the nerve to show your faces before me?"

Abel and Benjamin felt a sinking feeling in their stomachs, realizing Waylon knew everything.

They could not help but lower their head.

"I brought Emma's dowry, but I heard from Sam that something happened to Emma as soon as I arrived."

"Waylon." Benjamin spoke, "This is my fault. I have failed to protect Emma."

"You, Sam, and Daisy can't shirk your responsibility for this!" Waylon exclaimed sternly.

Benjamin and Sam hung their heads. They were at a loss for words.

Waylon scowled, looking at Abel. "What should I say to my brother-in-law in this situation?"

Abel was speechless.

Abel felt deeply ashamed for his failure in protecting Emmeline, so he would listen to whatever Waylon said.

"Waylon…"

"Abel." Waylon sneered, "Don't trouble yourself further if you're unfit to be Emma's husband."

"Waylon." Abel narrowed his eyes, and he raised his head.

"I feel deeply responsible for what happened to Emma, but I will find her. Even if it costs me my life, I won't give up!"

"How can I trust you?" Waylon grunted coldly with his hands behind his back, "Do you remember the fatal gunshot wound on Emma last time? Also, where is Emma now?"

Abel's heart ached, and he furrowed his brow.

Waylon was right. Abel felt like slapping himself because of that.

"Waylon." Benjamin said, "How can we blame Abel for this? None of us wanted anything to happen to Emma!"

"Benedict!" Waylon looked over with a cold gaze, "Why are you siding with an outsider?"

"I'm being objective to the situation." Benjamin added, "It has already been tough for Abel."

"Benjamin." Abel said bitterly, "What Waylon said is right. I'm Emma's man, but I let her suffer so much harm. I failed to be Emma's man, and I felt ashamed!"

"It's good that you're well aware!" Waylon continued, "My dad has not found out about this matter. Otherwise, you won't stand a chance to be Emma's husband."

Abel did not say a word.

Abel was not sure what Robert would do to him.

"Waylon." Benjamin said, "Let's not tell Master Adelmar about this yet. Maybe we will find Emma soon!"

Waylon sneered, "That's for the best. Otherwise, we wouldn't know how to explain it!"

"What about the wedding tomorrow?" Sam was anxious, "Master Adelmar will ask about it."

"Let's postpone the wedding." Benjamin suggested, "We will take this time to search for Emma!"

"That's the only option." Waylon continued, "I will tell Dad that the wedding has been postponed because of inadequate preparation."

"Thank you for your understanding, Waylon." Abel said, "You can punish me however you want if I fail to find Emma!"

"Forget about that." Waylon replied coldly, "I'm not interested in dealing with you. My priority is to find Emma!"

"That's true." Sam grumbled, "Master Adelmar's dowry for Ms. Louise is extraordinary. Mr. Ryker, you have to find Ms. Louise as soon as possible. If something happens to her, we're doomed."

"I will." Abel replied firmly.

Sam mentioned that the dowry for Emmeline would be shocking.

What kind of dowry would be shocking?

Abel did not put much thought into the dowry. Instead, he focused on finding Emmelie.

"What's the progress so far? Do you have any leads?" Waylon asked.

"The only lead we had was cut off when the suspect was handed over to the police," Benjamin said. "We are still at a loss."

"I have been thinking about it." Abel said, "There's something wrong with Darell."

"Why do you say so?" Waylon asked.

Then, Abel explained the matter involving Darell.

Waylon agreed, "Abel is right. Darell is quite suspicious. Anyone using Darell must know the ins and outs of this matter."
