Chapter 306 Rosaline meets with Emmeline
Oscar called Lewis and Rosaline following Adam’s departure.
The couple arrived in a hurry at Ryker’s residence in less than thirty minutes. Rosaline managed tobring Oscar some homemade cookies despite the urgency.
Lewis was uneasy about this. His father would not just randomly invite them over. It must havesomething to do with their son. Lewis went straight to the point, “Dad, tell us what’s going on.”
Rosaline offered the snacks to Oscar and concurred, “That’s right, Dad. I made these sugar-freecookies for you. Please try it out.
Oscar had no appetite for cookies. He said, “Put it aside for now.”novelbin
Rosaline and Lewis felt worse about this.
“Are you aware of Abel’s situation?” Oscar questioned him gravely.
The situation with Ryker Group’s overseas business partners was unknown to the couple, but theywere aware of Abel’s accomplishments.
Lewis said, “Dad, ever since Abel took over the business, he has run it superbly. I didn’t praise himbecause he’s my son. Everyone can see how successful he is and I think you’re aware of it too.”
Rosaline chimed in, “Yes, Dad. Under Abel’s direction, the group has grown several business channelsand brands. We’ve got a significant influence internationally.”
Oscar sighed and responded, “I know. Unfortunately, a man with his abilities would get involved withthat little witch. I felt infuriated at the thought of that!”
Rosaline said, “I’ll persuade Abel to stay away from Emmeline. This time, he put his life in danger tosave her. It would be unacceptable if she persisted in bugging him.”
“It’s not just that,” Oscar remarked.
“Abel probably wouldn’t be able to get back the money he used in time. The military order he signedmay take effect!”
“What?”
Lewis and Rosalinda were taken aback by the news that they had almost fallen off the sofa.
“Dad, are you going to take away Abel’s position as CEO?”
“Dad, Abel doesn’t deserve this!”
“Please reconsider. Abel has done well!”
“Yes, Dad, please give him another chance!”
Oscar asked, “So, none of you are aware of the situation with our overseas business partners?”
Lewis remained silent and shook his head. Rosaline also shook her head.
Oscar revealed, “They have all ceased their brand operations. Abel can’t recover the money in theshort term. Ryker’s group capital chain will rupture!”
Lewis and his wife were stunned by the news.
Abel was counting on his foreign business partners to retrieve the money. Abel’s funding would be cutoff if they stopped operating, right?
Rosaline gritted her teeth and chided, “Emmeline! I’m not going to let you off the hook!”
Emmeline sneezed, “Achoo! Achoo!”
Director Faughn asked, “What’s the matter, Emma? Don’t tell me you’ve caught a cold. We still need tofilm a few scenes.”
Emmeline rubbed her nose and said, “It’s nothing. I’m not sure who cursed me!”
“Then let’s carry on with the shooting. Everyone, get ready!”
…
Two days later, Emmeline was performing stunts at the studios.
Her phone rang right after they were done with the scene. Emmeline picked up the phone and saw itwas Timothy’s number.
She quickly answered the call and asked excitedly, “Timmy? How are you?”
A cold and silvery voice came through, “I’m Mrs. Ryker. Can we meet, Emmeline?”
Emmeline remained silent for some time. Her heart skipped a beat, and she asked, “Is somethingwrong with Timothy?”
Rosaline said, “My grandson is doing well. It’s about Abel.”
“Abel? What happened to him?” Emmeline inquired while experiencing anxiety and a tightness in herchest.
Rosaline sneered, “How could you not know? Has his favor slipped your mind? My son had spent afortune to save you!”
Emmeline said solemnly, “Auntie Rosaline, I’m listening, just explain what’s going on.”
“Let’s meet and talk. I had to borrow Timothy’s phone because I don’t have your number.”
Emmeline said, “Okay, I still have some work to do, but I should be finished in about an hour. Tell mewhere you’d like to meet, and I’ll meet you there.”
Rosaline said, “Meet me at the Nimbus Hotel. There’s a tea room on the west side of the first-floorlobby.”
Emmeline nodded and said, “Okay, I get it.”
