The Quadruplets Are Mine? Chapter 14

Chapter 14 You’re Finally Here

“Their names seem to be Helios, Endymion, and Hesperus? They say the Rykers had wronged their Mommy and put her in prison. They think they are going to end up becoming orphans.”

Abel frowned. Just as he thought, Benjamin was talking about the triplets.

“Mr. Benjamin,” he started. “I can’t help you with that. Their mother tried to murder my grandfather!”

“Hey now.” Benjamin scoffed. “What motive does she even have for attempting to harm Mr. Oscar? There must be some kind of misunderstanding.”

“…” Abel seemed stunned by his words.

It was indeed far-fetched to claim Emmeline attempted to murder Oscar to marry him.

She already knew her children were Adrien’s and had no reason to pester him.

“What does Wonder Doctor want?” His voice was hoarse.

“The children’s mother is innocent,” Benjamin said. “Wonder Doctor says she’s not going to grace him with a consultation if you don’t free the woman. Let me know how you want to handle the matter!”

Beep!

Benjamin cut the call.

“F*ck!” Abel cursed.

It didn’t matter whether she was guilty or innocent. She wouldn’t be able to escape from his grasp.

He had no choice but to do as Benjamin asked to save his grandfather.

His face was dark.

“What’s wrong, Mr. Abel?”

Abel didn’t bother with her and immediately called for Luca. “We’re going to the detention center!”

Emmeline was curled up on the wooden bed in the small, dark room.

Her clothes were covered in filth, giving her a disheveled appearance. She looked as if she had been beaten.

Abel’s heart inexplicably ached at the sight. He cleared his throat. “They hit you?”

“This woman lies as she breathes,” the watchman said. “You know this, Mr. Ryker. Everyone gets beaten up when they get sent here.”

“She’s a woman!”

“It doesn’t matter whether she’s a man or a woman. She’s a criminal all the same.”

“She might be…” Abel shook his head. She was definitely not wrongly accused!

“Emmeline!” The warden stomped on the plank bed and shouted viciously, “Get up. Mr. Ryker is here to see you!”

The woman’s eyes fluttered open as she clambered to sit up in a daze.

Seeing her this way felt heart-wrenching.

“What are you doing here?” She asked in an icy tone.

“I’ve spoken with Mr. Derrick and negotiated for your release!”

“You’re releasing me?” She joyfully sprang to her feet. “You believe I’m innocent, Abel?”

“Far from it!” he growled. “But you need to leave this place right now!”
