The Quadruplets Are Mine?

By the time Abel arrived, the rest of his family members were already gathered at the Ryker Mansion. He first bumped into his aunt, Julianna Campbell in the living hall.

Julianna had a sly, sideways smile as she greeted her nephew. “I knew you’d get into trouble sooner or later…” she muttered under her breath.

Abel caught every word despite her whispering and turned around to give her a sharp look. However, Julianna was still an elder of the family and a woman too, so anything he said back to her would be considered disrespectful. Abel swallowed his words and gave her an unpleasant frown instead.

Rosaline, who had also heard what Julianna said, walked up to her in a huff. “Julianna, don’t think I didn’t hear you. Was that really necessary?”

“Well, I was only speaking the truth,” Julianna countered. “Always remember, what goes up must come back down eventually. Just look at the state of your family! Emmeline is dead, and now Abel’s gay! Levan Mansion is in disarray, and you won’t even let me talk about it? What a joke!”

“There’s nothing wrong with Levan Mansion,” Rosaline fumed. “We’re doing great! You’re just jealous of us, Julianna.”

“Tsk tsk tsk,” Julianna pursed her lips. “You’re getting ahead of yourself now. You were doing great when Emmeline was still around, but now? I’m sure you know where you stand.”

Rosaline was so furious she could barely speak. To a certain extent, Julianna was not wrong. Nothing had gone well for the family ever since Emmeline’s incident, and now they had to deal with the repercussions of Abel’s gay scandal. How could she not be worried?
