Chapter 672 Abel Accompanies Emmeline In Her Return To Her Hometown

Emmeline smiled at them. She could not thank the two elders enough.

Lunch was ready at that moment. Everyone gathered around the dining table and began their meal.

In the afternoon, Abel and Emmeline prepared some gifts and they were headed to the Louise family. She made a call to Ethan first. Then, Ethan informed her dad and stepmother, Alondra, about this. By the time Abel and Emmeline reached the mansion of the Louise family, Ethan was already there.

In the end, he was still Emmeline's elder brother. There was no way he would miss her sister's wedding, which was of paramount importance in his life.

Or else, if he left Alondra and Maxwell to their own devices, there was a high probability that they would ruin things for him.

When the couple heard that the CEO of the Ryker Group was arriving soon, they could not contain their

excitement.

Alondra even made sure to make herself presentable, which annoyed Maxwell.

"We are just seeing our son-in-law, why are you in such outlandish clothing?"

"What are you saying? Shouldn't I look presentable? Or do you want me to welcome the guests without any makeup?" "Then you should just tone it down," Maxwell pointed at her face, "Look at your face. Are you trying to overshadow Emma?" "What are you saying?" Alondra continued to argue, "Is it a crime that I want to look young and

pretty?"

"Just don't make a joke out of yourself!" Maxwell was fuming as he stormed away.

Alondra stomped her feet too as she sat down by the bed.

Her plan of uniting Alana and Abel had failed. Abel was able to see Alana for who she was, and none of her tricks had worked.

In the end, the worst that could happen to Alana was the fact that her past antics of stealing Timothy were exposed. She was almost sued by Abel and Emmeline too.

Alana could not be of help to Alondra anymore. Alondra could not get into the higher echelons of the family because of Alana's failure.

Although Emmeline was her stepdaughter, Alondra never treated her well when raising her.

That was why even if Emmeline was married to Abel, Alondra would not be able to establish herself in the Ryker family. At least, she was somewhat related to Emmeline. This was why she wanted to make herself presentable in front of Abel so that he would notice her.

With that thought in mind, she got up again and touched up on her makeup.

A car rolled to a stop in the mansion's parking lot. Abel emerged from it while holding Emmeline's hand.

Luca and the driver followed from behind and they were carrying some gifts.

Ethan came to the door to welcome them.

"Mr. Ryker, Emma, you are here."

Abel greeted Ethan warmly, "Hey, Ethan."

Ethan greeted him too.

Emmeline asked. "I see that Grace is not around?"

Ethan replied, "She has an interview job today, so she is not at home."

Maxwell and Alondra came to greet them as well.

Alondra squealed in exaggeration, "Hey, Emma, you finally decided to come back here? Mr. Ryker, good to see you!"

Both Emmeline and Abel simply nodded. They said nothing in response.

Maxwell came to Abel and wanted to shake his hand. Abel took his hand and said, "Mr. Louise, good day."

"I'm your father-in-law, so you can stop calling me that," Maxwell revealed a smile, "I can't believe that I have become the father-in-law of the CEO of the Ryker Group." "Father-in-law, good day," Abel changed his greeting.

Maxwell was very merry as he could not stop nodding, "Great, great!"

Alondra eagerly shoved herself in between them, "What about me? I am your mother-in-law now, you know. Mr. Ryker, you have to address me as your mother-in-law." "Mother-in-law, good day," Abel greeted.

"Let's not stand here," Ethan interjected, "Mr. Ryker, Emma, come in."

When they settled down in the living room, the servants served them some tea.

Alondra said, "According to Ethan, Mr. Ryker and Emma are here today to set up a date for a meal, no?"

"That's right," Emmeline nodded, "Mr. Lewis and Madame Ryker have booked a table at the Nimbus Hotel, and it will be tomorrow night. I want to invite the two of you to attend." "Of course, we would attend alright," Alondra sounded excited.

Although she hailed from a well-off family that made its fortune in business, they were no match for the Ryker family which was an aristocrat in its own right.

It was imperative that Alondra would build some connection with Abel's mother. It would give her bragging rights in the future.

"We will go tomorrow night," Maxwell confirmed, "It's just that we are not ready with Emma's dowry yet."

The moment Alondra heard that word, her face turned cold.

She kept thinking about the benefits she would garner when she established herself in the Ryker family in the future that she had completely forgotten about the dowry.

What should she do now?

If their dowry was too simplistic, they would embarrass themselves. However, if Alondra spent too much on dowry, her wallet would hurt!
