Exiting the Childrenâs Furniture International Boutique Mall, they made a stop to purchase clothing and bedding for their four sons. The childrenâs needs couldnât be overlooked, of course.
The bodyguards went back and forth, carrying large bags, until both of the SUVâs massive trunks were completely filled.
Next up was Emmelineâs turn to shop for what she needed. Abel took her to the Struyria International Luxury Center.
Emmeline was drawn to a Parisian brand, and the whole family stepped into the store, causing heads to turn their way.
All six of them garnered attention as they made their way inside.
âWow,â whispered the sales consultant, âtheyâre such a talented and beautiful couple. And their children are like little angels! This family is just too stunning for words.â
A group of well-dressed ladies was quick to pull out their phones and snap pictures of the four sons.
âPlease, no pictures,â Timothy stepped in front, âYouâre violating the right to privacy. Itâs illegal.â
âPut your phones away, please,â Helios sternly stated, âOr weâll call the authorities.â
âPlease cooperate, and delete any photos youâve taken,â Endymion firmly requested.
âOnce those pictures are out there, weâll hold you responsible!â Hesperus kindly warned them.
âThese kids are so clever and quick-witted!â The wealthy ladies had no choice but to put away their phones.
âWhose kids are these? Not only are they beautiful, but also so intelligent and adorable!â
âI know right? I just want to take one of them home with me!â
âPlease step aside,â Timothy interjected, âDonât block our way to Daddy and Mommy.â
The wealthy ladies couldnât help but shift their gaze to Abel and Emmeline. This couple was simply envy-inducing!
They looked so loving and affectionate towards each other. Abelâs long arms were wrapped around Emmeline, and she leaned into him like a little bird cuddled in its nest They were the perfect divine couple!
âWait, isnât that Abel Ryker, the CEO of Ryker Group?â Someone recognized Abel.
âThatâs definitely him!â another woman exclaimed, âMr. Abel rarely makes public appearances.â
âThen these four children must be his sons.â
âOf course they are! They look just like a mini version of Mr. Abel himself.â
âAnd that beautiful woman with him must be his wife. They are truly envy-inducing.â
âWow, Mr. Abel is already married and has kids. There goes my daydream.â
âMr. Abel really protects his family well, he never officially announced it.â
Alana hid behind a mannequin, watching as the family of six entered the store. Emmeline, with her charming and graceful appearance, was clearly the apple of Abelâs eye. The sight of them together made Alana envious.
Alanaâs eyes turned red with envy and jealousy, and she even felt a murderous intent.
She gritted her teeth.
Emmeline! Why are you so lucky compared to me?
Emmeliné! If it werenât for you suddenly appearing in Struyria and ruining all my plans, shouldnât it be me, Alana, who is shopping with Abel and their son?
Emmeline! You just wait, I wonât let you get away with this!
Alana took out her phone and secretly took a picture of Abel holding Emmeline.
Alana snapped a few more photos of the family, including the adorable quadruplets. Finally, she aimed the camera at the entire family and snapped a group shot.
She sent the photos to Adam, along with a message:
âLook at Abel, with his beautiful wife and kids, and his ownership of Ryker Group. Heâs the biggest winner in life, isnât he?â
In just a moment, Adam replied with a single sentence: âIâll make sure they all die!â
Alanaâs lips twisted into a sinister smirk. âHeh,â she muttered. âThatâs exactly what I want to hear.â
âRing ring~â
Abelâs phone suddenly rang.
He glanced down and saw that it was the landline of the Levan Mansion.
He gestured to Emmeline and walked to the side to answer the phone.
Pressing the answer button, Rosalineâs voice came from the other end.
âAbel, are you at the mansion?â
âWhatâs up, Mom?â Abel asked.
âI was thinking,â Rosaline said, âWould Emmeline agree to bring the children to our home for dinner?â
âI happen to be with Emma right now,â Abel replied, âlet me ask her.â
âOkay,â Rosaline replied.
Abel covered the receiver and explained the situation to Emmeline.
Emmeline nodded, âTell Auntie that I agree.â
Abel uncovered the receiver and said to Rosaline, âMom, Emma agrees.â
âThatâs great,â Rosalineâs tone suddenly became happy, âI was afraid she would be angry and refuse.â
