Ambush of the Quadruplets
Chapter 70

Suddenly, Alondra called out, "Where's Emmeline? Did anyone see my flirtatious stepdaughter?" Her gesture caught the attention of many guests. They turned their heads and looked at her.

Alana said, "Ah! I saw Emmeline go to the back garden with one of the male guests. I wonder if it's something urgent?" "What could it be?" Alondra said. "I know my stepdaughter very well. She can't stand feeling lonely!"

Julianna went over to them. "What do you mean? What happened to Emmeline?"

"I saw her going to the back garden with one of the male guests," Alana said. "I'm sorry, I didn't take care of my cousin."

Alondra pretended to wipe a tear from her eye. "It's not your fault, Alana. That girl has been a flirt since she was young. She always makes me worry!" Adrien came over too. "What did you say? Emmeline's a flirt?"

"Yes, Mr. Adrien," Alana said, "Emmeline went to the back garden with a young man."

"This is ridiculous!" Adrien's eyes widened in anger. "She's making a cuckold out of me even before I marry her!"

Julianna seemed displeased. "Let's go to the back garden and see for ourselves then. If that's who she is, we'll have to kick her out of the household!" "This is preposterous!" Landen was frowning hard.

Alana smirked. This is the end of you, Emmeline Louise!

"Let's go and see then!" Alondra said. "I hope my stepdaughter doesn't make a fool of herself!"

"Yes, let's go. They won't get away with this!"

"We have to catch them in the act. Block the exits!"

The guests were becoming rowdy.

With Adrien taking the lead, they went to the back garden.

Alana tried very hard not to burst out laughing. She could already imagine what would happen next.

However, she said, "Don't be rash, Mr. Adrien. Emmeline is a spoiled woman. I'll teach her a lesson on your behalf. You shouldn't be too harsh on her!"

"You're a saint, Alana!" Alondra said. "Emmeline is so shameless, yet you're still trying to protect her dignity!"

Alana said, "We're family after all. I won't feel good if Emmeline is in trouble!"

The guests nodded in admiration, thinking that Rosaline's daughter-in-law was empathetic and sensible. Discreetly, Alana smirked.

The crowd rushed down the path toward the back garden, but they saw Abel coming their way.

There was a woman in his arms. It was the unconscious Emmeline.

"Abel!" Adrien roared. "So you're making me a cuckold!"

Alana and Alondra were confused.

Where's Mr. X that we bribed? Why is Abel with Emmeline?

Alana's heart skipped a beat. Oh no! Emmeline was drugged, so she might have made out with Abel...

Her head started spinning, and she stumbled a few steps backward.

She whispered into Alondra's ear. "Auntie... Did I unknowingly set myself up?"

Alondra was flustered when she saw that Emmeline was together with Abel.

Oh no! This is the worst possible outcome!

She was so flustered she wanted to stomp her feet.

"Abel? What's the meaning of this?" Rosaline asked uneasily. She did not want her son's reputation to be tarnished.

"Abel!" Adrien was charging toward Abel while rolling up his sleeves. "I'll kill you!"

Abel nimbly stepped aside and tripped Adrien, who stumbled and nearly fell over.

"Adrien, I happened to show up just in time and save Emmeline!" he said coldly. "You're lying!" Adrien's eyes were bloodshot.

"You can get the doctor to check on Emmeline," Abel said. "Emmeline was drugged. Someone tried to set her up!"

"Who could it be?" Adrien believed him.

"That person is lying unconscious on the ground over there," Abel said. "Get the surveillance footage of the banquet hall. You should be able to replace the evidence that he drugged Emmeline." "Security! Tie that man up, and get me the surveillance footage of the banquet hall!" Adrien roared sternly.

Suddenly, Alana's knees gave out, and she fell to the ground.

Rosaline was shocked. "What happened to Alana?" she asked Alondra.
