Chapter 669: Chapter 671

Chapter 671 The Grudge Between Robert and Oscar Emmeline knew that once Master Robert and Waylon made up their mind, they would never change anymore. All she could do was mumble a response unwillingly.

She felt a little down, although it was something she had foreseen.

“Don’t feel so down. Once you are done with your wedding, come with Abel to Adelmar Island to have your honeymoon. That will substitute for my absence, no?” Waylon tried to persuade her.

“Alright, then,” Emmeline was reluctant to accept this arrangement, but she could only agree to it now.

“Good girl,” Waylon said, “You will have all of our blessings.”

“I got it. Thank you, Waylon. Help me to pass the word to Master Robert,” Emmeline’s eyes began to turn red.

“I need to get going to my lab now. Do you still have more to say, my dear Emma?”

“Not at the moment,” Emmeline replied, “Then, you should get going.”

“Alright,” Waylon hung up.

“So, the Adelmars are not coming?” Lewis could guess what they had said.

Emmeline nodded with tears in her eyes.

“I can see that coming,” Lewis said, “It seems that there is a grudge between Robert and Old Mr.

Ryker.”

“From what Waylon said, it seems so, Emmeline replied, “When I came to Struyria, Waylon wanted me to keep my identity a secret. It seems that he has his own reason.”

“Let’s put that aside first,” Rosaline chipped in, “Robert and Oscar’s grudge belongs to their generation.

It has nothing to do with Abel and Emma.”

“I know,” Lewis replied, “Then, shall we welcome those from the Louise family? We need your father’s opinion too whether we are fully ready with our preparation.”

“That’s right, Emma,” Rosaline agreed, “We should uphold our tradition and keep up the good ties between us and them. Should we arrange for a meal sometime later with your parents?”

“That sounds awesome,” Emmeline replied, “You should set a time, and I will inform my dad.”

“Let’s make it tomorrow night,” Lewis suggested, “At the Nimbus Hotel?”

“Okay,” Emmeline nodded, “I will go visit the Louises in the afternoon later and inform my dad.”

“I’ll come with you,” Abel said, “We need to show our full sincerity.”

“I agree with that,” Rosaline said, “Abel should go with you. Bring some gifts with you, and invite your parents to your wedding.”

“Okay,” Emmeline nodded.

She was happy deep down that Lewis and Rosaline were really considerate people.

The butler went upstairs and got the list of names that they had to invite to the wedding under Lewis’

command.

Abel took a glance at it before passing it to Emmeline.

Emmeline scanned the list. There were prominent names in there. These people were from affluent families all over the city.

She could not help but frown, “Isn’t this overkill?”

“Your wedding is something to celebrate for the Ryker family,” Lewis explained, “And we will be the heart of the attention come your wedding day. How can we throw just a simple one?”

“Emma,” Abel held her hand and assured her, “We should follow their planning. Our wedding should be something to remember for a lifetime.”

“That’s right, Emma,” Rosaline agreed, “We should uphold our tradition and keep up the good ties between us and them. Should we arrange for a meal sometime later with your parents?”

Emmeline nodded to show that she complied with them.

“This is the list of betrothal gifts,” Lewis said, “Let Emma see. Are you satisfied with this?”

“We should forget about this,” Emmeline waved her hand dismissively, “Abel has already given me the reins of a company that was first given by the Murphy family. That’s more than enough. I really don’t wish to accept anything more.”

“How can you say that?” Rosaline said, “Although you bear the last name of the Louise family, you are still a daughter of the Adelmar family. If our betrothal gift is not good enough, how can we keep our dignity in front of Master Adelmar in the future?”

“She’s right about that,” Lewis pressed on, “Even if you are the Wonder Doctor or the mastermind behind the Adelmar Group, we can’t be too careless with our gifts, you know.”

“Emma, this is Dad and Mum’s sincerity,” Abel shoved that list of gifts into her hand, “Take a look at this and see if you’re satisfied or not?”

Emmeline had no choice but to glance at it.

She saw that she would be richer by six billion dollars. She would receive five mansions from them and a luxury cruise ship.

…

Emmeline looked up from the list and said, “This is really too much, but thank you for your thoughtful gesture, Mr. Lewis and Madame Ryker.”

“You deserve this, Emma,” Rosaline took her hand and smiled, “Considering you have introduced the four grandkids which are a revelation in our lives, we even think that the gifts are too puny.”
