Ambush of the Quadruplets
Chapter 590

"Come on, Benjamin," Janie's eyes were brimming with tears. "How could you break my heart like this? What's wrong with me?"

"This is none of your business," Benjamin pulled Emmeline close to him. "I love Emma, and she can love me back. Who are you to interfere?"

"Benjamin, you're misunderstanding!" Emmeline pushed him away and stood to the side, her face flushing. "I only see you as a brother, I won't fall in love with you."

"But that's not set in stone," Benjamin gazed at her deeply. "You don't love Abel anymore, so why not give me a chance? We're meant to be together, I don't want to be your brother."

His intense gaze left Emmeline unsure of what to say.

"Benjamin!" Abel's anger boiled over and he threw a punch.

Benjamin deftly dodged Abel's punch, feinting with a punch of his own and winking at him.

Abel was caught off guard, unsure of what Benjamin was up to.

In the moment of hesitation, Abel's next punch never landed.

"Emma," Janie spoke with a trembling voice. "Will you really agree to love Benjamin and be with him?"

Emmeline's mind was racing.

How could she possibly do that?

But what should she say now?

Suddenly, a thought occurred to her.

Was Benjamin's sudden passion just an act?

He had left with Janie for a meeting and returned so quickly. Did they have some sort of scheme?

Emmeline's mind raced with these thoughts as she leaped into Benjamin's arms, saying, "Ben, I just want to get to know you better. I was foolish to have missed my chance with you before, but now I want to be with you!"

"???" Now it was Benjamin's turn to be dumbfounded. He almost choked on his own saliva.

Was Emmeline teasing him or was she really confessing her feelings?

He had waited for years to hear those words and had longed for them day and night.

But he never dared to hope for those words.

Especially now, he knew Emmeline was probably just using reverse psychology on him.

Benjamin was at a loss for how to respond.

Janie was also stunned, realizing that her plan had backfired.

This was not going to end well.

What could Benjamin do now?

She just hoped he wasn't playing with fire!

Emmeline noticed both Benjamin and Janie were dumbfounded and smirked to herself, thinking: "Ha, you really thought you could help Abel against me? No way!"

Abel was furious and raised his voice, "Emma, how can you love Benjamin? We're family, and we have a child!"

"Why can't I love Benjamin?" Emmeline clung to Benjamin's neck, "We're both single and not doing anything illegal!" Benjamin was caught between a rock and a hard place. What could he do in this situation?

If he admitted to playing along with Emmeline, he would offend her. But if he didn't surrender now, he would offend Abel.

Just as Benjamin was struggling to figure out what to do, the door to the CEO's office suddenly swung open and Ethan burst in, exclaiming, "Emma, you're back!"

He walked in to replace his beloved sister with her arms wrapped around Benjamin's neck, while Abel stood nearby with a furious expression, ready to explode.

"What's going on here?" Ethan looked around nervously and asked, "Can someone please explain?"

Emmeline quickly let go of Benjamin and stood with her hands behind her back, smiling sweetly. "Ethan, I'm back," she said.

"It's good that you're back," Ethan replied, then gestured towards Benjamin. "But what was going on with you and Mr. Benjamin just now?"

Emmeline was at a loss for words and couldn't explain the situation to her brother.

Benjamin stayed silent, unsure of how to explain himself.

Abel's face was black with anger, thinking that the two of them were going to make him a cuckold.

Janie quickly intervened, "Mr. Ethan, Emma just came back and was just venting to Ben."

"I see," Ethan took Emmeline's hand and handed her to Abel, "If she wants to vent, she should go to Mr. Abel, not bother Mr. Benjamin."

Abel grabbed Emmeline's hand tightly, refusing to let go.

Ethan, what a true uncle he is!

A truly caring uncle!

Abel felt an overwhelming sense of gratitude towards Ethan, and all the anger on his face turned into a smile.
