The Quadruplets Are Mine? Chapter 3

Chapter 3 All Of You Underestimated Her

“What’s your Mommy’s name?” A distinctly chilly note crept into Abel’s voice. It would appear that some scheming woman was trying to frame him!

“Emmeline Louise.”

Emmeline Louise? Abel shook his head. He was certain he did not know this woman.

Meanwhile, Emmeline drove back to the café where she worked and parked her Porsche in the garage. She had just put on her apron when she heard someone calling her name frantically.

“Emma!” The agitated voice came from the doorway. “What on earth did you do to offend the Ryker family? Dad’s insisting that we all go back home right now because he says the Rykers will take action against us!”

It was Emmeline’s older brother, Ethan. Apparently, he had rushed over and was out of breath.

“I was kicked out of the family five years ago. I’m not going back!”

“But…but Dad said if I don’t bring you back with me, he’ll cut me out of the family business!”

“So let him! That’s not a bad thing!” Emmeline was not about to spare her brother’s feelings. “At least you won’t need to see that wretched woman!”

“But Emma, the family business is what keeps my family fed,” Ethan whined. “If I get cut out of it, what’s going to happen to the three of us? We’ll starve to death!”

“Wouldn’t it be much better if you started your own company?” Emmeline retorted, annoyed. “You’re not going to starve to death, not with all your networking and business contacts!”

“Where am I going to find that much start-up capital?” Ethan was not about to give up his grievance so easily. “That woman controls all of Dad’s assets!”

“I’ll ask the bank to advance you a loan!” Emmeline snapped impatiently. “I’ve told you repeatedly not to hope for anything from Dad, but you never listen!”

“You’re talking mighty big all of a sudden, Emma! Do you think the bank’s going to advance you a loan just because you ask? Who do you think you are?”

“Is fifty thousand enough?” Emmeline pulled out her phone. “My classmate just became president of the bank. The money should arrive any minute now.”

“It’s definitely enough.” Oddly enough, Ethan seemed rather fearful all of a sudden. “What if the venture fails, though? I need to figure out what I could use as collateral.”

Emmeline was about to tell him that she would stand the cost if his business venture failed when her phone suddenly rang. The number on the display was an unfamiliar one. She picked up the call. “Nightfall Café. What would you like to order?”

A frosty voice replied, “Your son’s with me.”

“What an amateurish scam. I’m not about to fall for that!” Emmeline hung up the call and was about to resume her conversation with her brother when the phone rang again.

“Hey, scammer, listen here…”

“This is Abel Ryker!”

Emmeline was just about to give the “scammer” a good telling-off when she heard his name. Her heart stopped for a moment.
