Chapter 1328 Ryker Group in Imminent Danger
Emeline quickly recalled the secret identity Abel mentioned during their time in Staniue.
“I remember. Does it have to do with international mercenaries?”
“More accurately,” Abel whispered, “I have an international mercenary training base with over sixthousand armed personnel!”
“Wow!” Emmeline covered her mouth, her eyes widening. “You have a massive private armed force?That’s incredible!”
“I established it during my five years of secret training abroad. Even countries like Melvania sometimeshire my mercenary organization for a massive sum. But I really don’t like Melvania; I rarely supportthem. Most of the time, my armed organization is involved in international just causes or localpeacekeeping.”novelbin
“Who’d have thought?!” Emmeline hugged Abel’s neck, tiptoed, and kissed the corner of his lips.“Hubby, I admire you more and more. You are truly amazing!”
Abel spun her around before holding her in his arms, kissing her lips gently. “My wife is amazing too.On the surface, you’re the owner of a cafe, but in reality, you have layers of identities, a beautiful, full-fledged boss.
Still, you surpass me.” Emmeline laughed in his arms. “Hubby, you have to keep me safe!”
“That’s a given!” Abel kissed her cheek. “You are my wife, the mother of my children, and my eternallove. Of course, I will protect and cherish you!”
Overjoyed. Emmeline snuggled further into his arms, experiencing the sense of security and reliancethis.. strong man brought to her.
Luca contacted Adrien and Adam, and the two arrived, each with their chauffeur in two shakes.
Landen and Julianna came as well, riding in Adrien’s extended Rolls-Royce.
Upon seeing Abel, Landen grabbed his hand. “Abel you’re back. You need to find a way to save theRyker family.”
“Yeah, Abel,” Julianna said with a worried expression. “Our family has been schemed against, andthey’re in dire straits. Landen and my shares have been duped by the wrong people.”
“Who could’ve been capable enough to con your shares in the Ryker Group away?” Abel frowned.
“It was Edmond Murphy,” Landen revealed. “First, he used overseas channels to conduct a massivetransaction with Ryker Group, but the police discovered that there were illegal drugs hidden in theshipment.
“Then, Edmond claimed that he could help us resolve the issue and asked us to hand over a portion ofour shares as a reward. Little did we know that he, along with the scattered Ryker Group shares fromoutside and the shares we handed over, would make him the majority shareholder of Ryker Group.They are currently manipulating Ryker Group, and it’s on the verge of collapsing.
“And your grandfather’s enemies are working with Edmond as well. They’ve surrounded the Ryker’sresidence, and they’re trying to force your grandfather to take drastic measures. This won’t end untilyour grandfather raises the white flag!”
Abel furrowed his brows. “How did things escalate to this point?”
“If you and Emmeline hadn’t offended Edmond, would the Ryker family have also been dragged deepinto this mess?!” Julianna complained.
“Mom,” Adam said with a stern expression, “it’s not the time to say such things.”
“Yeah,” Adrien chimed in. “If you hadn’t pressured Grandad to make Abel hand over Ryker Group’sshares, would things have gotten to this point?”
“It’s all your father’s fault!” Julianna continued. “If he hadn’t cooperated with Edmond to import goods.from overseas, would we have fallen into their trap?”
“If you hadn’t taken control of the shares Abel left with you, would Edmond have targeted you?” Adamretorted angrily. “Ultimately, it’s your and my dad’s greed that got us into trouble and dragged down theentire Ryker Group!”
“That’s right,” Abel said. “Only 49% of Ryker Group’s shares are held by individual shareholders. TheRyker family controls 51%. After handing you mine and my parents’ shares, if even 3% of them wereswindled away, Ryker Group would lose control. How could you all have been so careless?”
“It’s too late to say anything now,” Landen said with a pained expression. “The priority now is to figureout how to regain control of the Ryker Group and also rescue your grandfather.”
“Yes, Abel,” Julianna said sadly. “You need to figure out a solution quickly. If Ryker Group falls intosomeone else’s hands, we’ll be left with nothing.”
“Aunt Julianna,” Emmeline interjected, “didn’t you just blame us earlier, saying that Edmond was ourproblem? Why should we help you now? Besides, we’ve already been kicked out of the Ryker family,and it’s none of our business anymore!”
