The Quadruplets Are Mine? Chapter 153

“How dare you hit me!” Janie shrieked in outrage, clasping a hand to her stinging cheek. “I’m going to have Mr. Faughn fire you right now!”

“You can try, missy…” Emmeline retorted, smiling grimly.

“Oh, I’m certainly going to try. Do you think I’m afraid of you?” Janie turned, about to flounce off in search of Simon. Abruptly, she froze in her tracks as a voice came from outside the costume tent.

Emmeline turned as Adrien came in, smartly dressed in an impeccably tailored business suit and polished leather shoes.

Janie recognized Adrien immediately. There were very few people indeed who would not recognize the suave, flirtatious playboy; he was part of the wealthy Ryker family after all, and a very eligible catch.

“Mr. Ryker…” Janie was startled. “What do you mean, our Emma?”
