Chapter 102: Chapter 102

“Yay!” The triplets cheered. “The Big Bad Wolf is gone. We can live with Mommy and Daddy now!”

“A happy ending!”

“Three cheers to Mommy and Daddy!”

Emmeline was also very happy. She bent down and picked up Sun, while Abel picked up Moon and Star.

However, something still bothered Emmeline. “Do you think your grandfather might have some ulterior motive for hosting this party?”

“I think Grandfather genuinely wants to celebrate his great-grandson’s recovery, but I can’t say the same for Adam.”

“Adam?” Emmeline did not understand. “I don’t think we have a grudge against each other.”

“Don’t forget he’s Adrien’s elder brother. Also, he was the one who suggested the idea of the party to Grandfather.”

Emmeline nodded. “I see. That makes sense.”

“We don’t have to go if you don’t feel like going. I can make up an excuse,” Abel said.

Emmeline smiled. “It’s fine. If someone wants to target us, the best solution isn’t to hide but to face them head-on so they’ll give up. We have to go!”

“I’ll make sure you and the triplets will be safe. You have nothing to worry about,” Abel said.

Emmeline smiled warmly. She put Sun down and said, “I’ll go upstairs and get changed.”

“Mm.”

“Take your time, Mommy. We want you to look your best!” the triplets said.

“That’s right. Daddy doesn’t mind waiting!” Abel said jokingly.

“I’m not going to spend hours in front of the vanity!” Emmeline said.

In her bedroom, she admired the wine-red evening gown that Abel brought over.

She thought for a moment and decided to wear a bodysuit beneath the gown. In case she had to fight, her skin would not be exposed.

After that, she stored several special steel needles in her handbag.

After everyone was ready, Luca and Daisy sat the triplets on the car seats in the Rolls-Royce. Abel and Emmeline, on the other hand, rode in Abel’s Rolls-Royce Ghost.

As soon as Abel started the ignition, his phone began to ring.

The call was from Alana.

Abel grunted softly and rejected the call.

The phone continued to ring again.

Abel answered the call impatiently. “What’s wrong, Alana?”

“Mr. Ryker, Grandfather said you have to come and pick me up,” Alana said gently.

Abel did not say anything. Grandfather wouldn’t bother to care who picks Alana up “Grandfather said I’m bearing your child. If you don’t pick me up, no one else can!”

“Mm. Wait for me,” Abel said murderously.

Just wait, Alana Lane!

Emmeline turned her head to look out of the window.

She believed to a certain extent what Abel said, that Alana’s pregnancy had nothing to do with him.

However, before the truth surfaced, she could not help but feel uneasy about it.

“Go to the Lane residence!” Abel ordered the driver.

The Rolls-Royce Ghost stopped in front of the Lane résidence.

The front gates were open, but Abel said to the driver, “Wait here. Let her come out on her own.”

The driver turned off the ignition.

“I’ll take a smoke,” Abel said to Emmeline.

Emmeline nodded.

Emmeline’s collarbones were visible under her wine-red evening gown. Abel was aroused, but he got out of the car and lit up a cigarette.

Alana was overjoyed when she saw Abel’s car come down the road.

That arrogant man is finally here!

Looks like Adam managed to convince Grandfather!

Of course. Adam nearly became the CEO of Ryker Group. It’s no surprise Grandfather listens to him Soon after that, Alana saw the Vehicle parked in front of her residence, despite the gates being already open.

Then, she saw Abel get out of the car and light up a cigarette.

Her face instantly sank.
