Ambush of the Quadruplets
Chapter 1284 Oscar’s Eightieth Birthday Celebration

Oscar's eightieth birthday celebration was held at the Ryker's residence, which itself was an estate nestled against the mountains and waters.

Several days prior to his birthday, Oscar had the entire estate beautifully decorated. The old estate, situated amidst the mountains and waters, was essentially a picturesque area.

Oscar preferred a low-key celebration. However, even in its understated nature, more than three hundred people attended the event.

Guests from both Struyria and various parts of the world gathered. The entire Ryker's residence was abuzz with activity.

Before lunchtime, guests either enjoyed wine and conversation in the hall or danced in pairs. on the dance floor.

At around 10 a.m., the emcee announced that there would be a Struyrian opera performance in the garden for those interested. Abel held Emmeline's hand and asked her, "Would you like to go and watch the Struyrian opera?"

Emmeline smiled, "You're interested in traditional culture?"

"To be honest, I don't really understand it," Abel admitted, "but it looks lively, especially the fight scenes; the actors are skilled martial artists."

"You've piqued my interest," Emmeline said. "Let's go take a look."

The two of them were about to leave the hall when Emmeline tugged at Abel's arm.

"What's wrong?" Abel asked, concerned.

Emmeline's eyes had a hint of worry as she said, "Once bitten, twice shy. Will our kids be okay?"

Abel wrapped his arm around her waist and planted a kiss on her forehead. "Don't worry, Babe. I've personally arranged all the security measures for today, and Luca and the others are watching our boys closely. You don't need to worry about anything. Just relax and enjoy the party."

Emmeline thought for a moment. Luca and the others were with the boys, and Sam and Daisy were close by too. There really wasn't much to be worried about.

Waylon and Benjamin had also offered to send bodyguards to her side beforehand. However, she turned them down.

Benjamin and Waylon couldn't attend Oscar's big day. Well, it was no secret among Struyrians that Ryker Group and Adelmar Group were fierce rivals in the business world.

Secondly, there had been a longstanding feud between Oscar and The Adelmar Clan, so naturally, members of the Adelmar family couldn't come either.

Hand in hand, they left the hall and headed to the garden to watch the Struyrian opera.

At this moment, Oscar was also enjoying the Struyrian opera.

In the garden, several rows of large round redwood tables were set up, with guests seated around them. Tea, drinks, snacks, and desserts were placed on the tables. Guests watched the performance while indulging in refreshments and enjoying themselves.

Oscar sat at the first table, mingling with the crowd.

Around him were some of the top aristocratic families from Struyria, as well as several high-ranking officials. It was said that even higher authorities had sent representatives, highlighting the Ryker family's

status.

Glenn and his wife were among the guests, and their daughter, Sonia, stood obediently by the side, serving Oscar tea.

"Sonia is becoming more beautiful as she ages," Oscar remarked to Glenn. "I remember back when Abel and Sonia were dating."

"You still remember that, Old Mr. Ryker?" Glenn replied. "Too bad Abel's children are nearly five now..."

"That's my own oversight," Oscar said. "I regret not pushing Abel and Sonia to marry earlier."

"Abel's wife is pretty lovely, no?" Michaela chimed in with a mischievous smile. "And she's given the Ryker family four adorable great-grandsons."

"I do love the boys," Oscar admitted. "Otherwise, I wouldn't have any regard for that girl, Emmeline."

"What's wrong with Emmeline?" Sonia asked as she filled Oscar's tea cup. "Care to share, Grandfather?"

"That girl is too wild; she doesn't obey," Oscar said, sipping his tea. "And she's challenged me more than once. If not for the sake of those four great-grandchildren, I'd have kicked her out!"

"Oh," Michaela said, "Why not arrange a separation? It's not uncommon among the elite families."

"That's easier said than done," Oscar replied. "Abel defends his wife fiercely, and Emmeline. has been behaving well as well. How can I break up a loving couple?"
