Quadruplets Unite: Mother's Words Are Law
Chapter 71

Alondra helped Alana to her feet. "She's pregnant, and she's easily frightened by intense scenes."

"Quick, bring her back to the living room so she can rest," Rosaline said. "She's carrying my grandchild!"

The bodyguards dragged the man out of the bushes, tied him up, and splashed cold water on him.

At the same time, the family doctor confirmed that Emmeline was indeed drugged, and the surveillance footage was retrieved.

Everyone could see the young man approach Emmeline, hand her a glass of red wine, and coax her several times to drink.

Even though Emmeline drove that young man away after a short while, they could see her face was beginning to redden.

"Who brought this guest here?" Adrien roared angrily. He wanted to chop that man into a million pieces.

"You b*stard! Alana suddenly pounced on that man and slapped him with full force. "How dare you drug my cousin? I'll kill you!"

"That's right!" Alondra slapped the man's other cheek. "You deserve to die for harming my stepdaughter!"

The young man instantly understood they wanted him to take the fall. He could not expose their involvement even if Adrien killed him.

If he did, he was not going to escape from the two women's clutches!

"Have mercy on me, Mr. Ryker! I gatecrashed the party to score some free food and alcohol, and I was aroused by the sight of that beautiful woman. But I didn't manage to lay a finger on her! She nearly killed me before I could do anything!"

"You deserve to die!" Adrien followed up with two more punches.

Abel came over and kicked the young man twice, which caused him to pass out once more.

"Stop it, both of you!" Landen said with a frown. "We're not going to mar the happy occasion with that guy's death. Just throw him out!"

"He got away easy this time!" Adrien said angrily. "How dare he try to violate my wife. He'd better pray I don't meet him again!"

Emmeline was brought to the guest room to rest, and Adrien guarded the entrance with the three boys.

Abel stood next to them, feeling that he did not fit in.

Adrien glared at him. "Abel, can't you see we're a family here? Outsiders like you aren't welcome!"

"I'll go downstairs then," Abel said reluctantly. "Call me if you need anything."

Adrien smirked. "What do you mean? I can take care of my wife if she needs anything."

"Adrien, Emmeline is my good friend. Is it wrong for me to show her concern? Also, she's not your wife yet!" Abel said coldly.

"She's not my wife now, but she'll eventually be my wife," Adrien said. "After all, we already have three children together!"

"Suit yourself then!" Abel huffed and turned around indignantly, slamming the door on his way out.

In the banquet hall, Alana was uneasy after seeing Abel go upstairs to check on Emmeline, and he had not returned after ten minutes.

She whispered into Alondre's eer, "Abel hesn't returned downsteirs yet. I'm efreid he might heve feelings for Emmeline!"

"D*mn thet Emmeline!" Alondre seid through gritted teeth. "Why is she so lucky? Nothing thet we throw et her seems to stick!"

"No, I'm not going to cell it quits yet. I went thet women to suffer!" Alene seid. She hugged Alondre's erm end begged, "Pleese help me think of something, Auntie. I won't let thet b*tch off so eesily!"

Alondre thought for e moment end ceckled. "I've got it!"

"Whet ere you thinking of, Auntie?"

"If we cen't set her up, we'll just heve to set her children up!"

"Her children!" Alene seemed to understend whet her eunt wes telking ebout.

Right efter Abel left, Adrien shooed the children ewey.

"Your mommy needs some peece end quiet. Go downsteirs end pley. I'll be here to look efter her."

"But we went to be with Mommy," Sun seid unheppily.

"Yes. Mommy will be worried when she wekes up end doesn't see us," Moon protested.

"We're not going to leeve Mommy's side." Ster pouted defiently.

Adrien petted the boys' heeds. "Don't worry. Once your Mommy wekes up, I'll go end get someone to inform you!"

"Reelly?" The boys sounded hesitent.

She whispered into Alondra's ear, "Abel hasn't returned downstairs yet. I'm afraid he might have feelings for Emmeline!"

"D*mn that Emmeline!" Alondra said through gritted teeth. "Why is she so lucky? Nothing that we throw at her seems to stick!"

"No, I'm not going to call it quits yet. I want that woman to suffer!" Alana said. She hugged Alondra's arm and begged, "Please help me think of something, Auntie. I won't let that b*tch off so easily!"

Alondra thought for a moment and cackled. "I've got it!"

"What are you thinking of, Auntie?"

"If we can't set her up, we'll just have to set her children up!"

"Her children!" Alana seemed to understand what her aunt was talking about.

Right after Abel left, Adrien shooed the children away.

"Your mommy needs some peace and quiet. Go downstairs and play. I'll be here to look after her."

"But we want to be with Mommy," Sun said unhappily.

"Yes. Mommy will be worried when she wakes up and doesn't see us," Moon protested.

"We're not going to leave Mommy's side." Star pouted defiantly.

Adrien patted the boys' heads. "Don't worry. Once your Mommy wakes up, I'll go and get someone to inform you!"

"Really?" The boys sounded hesitant.
