Chapter 121 Don't Be So Full of Yourself

Lewis frowned. "How can you think like that, Abel? If you're defying your grandfather because of Emmeline, aren't you worried that you're putting Emmeline's life in danger?”

"Yes, my son," Rosaline was already sobbing. "I'm a woman like Emmeline, but I think it's not worth it to betray your family because of a woman!"

"It's worth it to me!" Abel gazed at Emmeline longingly. "Grandfather, if you insist on making the decision for me, I'll elope with Emmeline. We'll change our identities and live simple, unremarkable lives until the end of our days."

"You ingrate!" Oscar roared angrily. "If you take a step out of Ryker Mansion, I'll break your legs, tie you to a wheelchair, and put you on a feeding tube for the rest of your life!"

"Yes, my son," Lewis said. "You shouldn't let your parents down!"

"Abel thinks that running the Ryker Group is less important than a woman. I don't think he deserves to be the CEO," Landen said.

"I don't think so too!" Julianna added.

"Landen! Julianna!" Lewis and Rosaline glared at them resentfully.

"Was I wrong?" Landen scoffed. "Would you trust someone so fickle to run the company?"

"My son isn't fickle!" Lewis was furious.

"You heard what he just said!"

"Abel!" Emmeline stood up. "Don't be so full of yourself. I'm not going to change my identity or live an unremarkable life for you! I'm sick of being poor and having to work hand-to-mouth to feed my triplets. If you become penniless, I'll look down upon you!"

I didn't know she's like that! Abel thought.

Alana lifted her head and smiled gently.

So you're that kind of woman! It looks like I've worried too much!

Emmeline sniffled. "Just stay where you are and be the CEO of Ryker Group. I don't care and don't want to care whether you become engaged to Ms. Lane, but as long as you're the CEO of Ryker Group, I might flirt with you if I'm feeling lonely!"

Abel stuck out his tongue and licked his dry lips.

What does this woman want? Why don't I understand her?

She openly challenged Adrien's manhood, and now she's saying that she'll only want to be with me as long as I'm the CEO of Ryker Group.

What logic is that?

Abel gazed at the bewitching woman standing next to the window. "So are you an item with Benjamin York of Adelmar Group now?"

Emmeline shook her head. "...No."

"That's good to know." Abel breathed a sigh of relief.

"But that doesn't mean it'll still be the case in the future," Emmeline added. "If you lose to Benjamin, I'll have to remove your name from my list."

Abel took in a deep breath to force himself to calm down. "I don't care if you want to flirt with me in the future, but now, I am not going to be engaged with Alana. So..."

He turned around and faced everyone. "That's the end of the discussion!"

Thud! Alana fell to the floor along with the wheelchair.

When everyone came to their senses, they realized Alana had passed out.

Thud! Something fell on the floor.

Everyone turned their heads and saw Oscar pass out.

They hurriedly sent Alana and Oscar to the hospital, and that marked the end of the Ryker family meeting.

The next day, Adrien primped himself in the beauty salon, changed into a bespoke suit, reserved a presidential suite at Nimbus Hotel, and gave Emmeline a call.

"I see," Emmeline said as she chewed the last clove of garlic. "I'll be there in half an hour."

Adrien was overjoyed.

Today is the day I'll win her heart!

Anyone see that? Emmeline agreed to go on a date with me! Hahaha!

She wants to know if I'm still a real man! How would she know? In bed, of course!

There's no other way!

Not only will I show you I'm a real man, but I'll also make you beg for more!
