Ambush of the Quadruplets
Chapter 989 He Is My Hero

"But he saved me! He saved me without any hesitation and he looked so cool while doing it! My life was hanging by a thread, but his charm took my breath away. I've decided, Sonia. I don't care if Mr. Benjamin accepts me or not, I'm his and I'll follow him for the rest of my life!"

"Ysabel, are you out of your mind?" asked Sonia with a frown.

"Of course not. I've fallen in love with Benjamin York from Adelmar. I'm so madly in love with him that he's all I can think of. Nothing else matters anymore. You only think I'm out of my mind because you've never experienced falling in love like this. I'm not out of my mind, I just can't help but be in love with him!"

Sonia knew what Ysabel was saying.

She was not out of her mind, she was just hopelessly in love with a man.

A love that seeped deep into her soul. It reminded her of herself. After 5 years, she still loved Abel.

She was different from Sonia though, her upbringing taught her to be calm and rational.

Ysabel continued speaking, "I'll talk to Benjamin, so you don't need to race with Emmeline anymore, Sonia. I don't believe he's heartless, he saved my life after all. I will ask him to forgive the Hemmings Group and to ask the same from the Ryker Group.

"You can ask him, but the race will still go on. I'm doing it for myself this time," said Sonia flatly.

"Huh? What do you mean?" asked Ysabel.

"I issued the challenge, so if I go back on my words, wouldn't it be the same as admitting defeat? If I win, I can compel Emmeline to return Abel to me!"

"That's true, they aren't supposed to be together anyway! You and Abel make a better couple! Good luck, Sonia. I'm going home now to wash my face and change my clothes. After that, I'll look for Benjamin and ask him out for lunch."

"Good luck to you too," said Sonia coldly as she hung up the phone.

Ysabel was right, she and Abel made a better couple.

Back when they were in college, their relationship was pure and unadulterated, unlike the relationship between Abel and Emmeline where he was drugged as a result of a plot against him.

Abel probably stayed with Emmeline because he had no choice since she bore him four children.

That woman sure is something, can a man be tied down by children?

The thought solidified her determination.

When Ysabel reached home, she hurriedly took a shower, changed, and quickly put on simple makeup.

She bought some flowers and nutritional products before replaceing herself at Adelmar again.

Ysabel surmised that Benjamin would have been back from the hospital by then.

As she parked her sports car in the underground parking lot, an ordinary-looking car drove up and parked beside her.

A pretty young woman got out of the car and turned around to pick up two thermoses on the passenger seat.

From the looks of it, the woman was here to deliver lunch for someone.

Janie glanced at Sonia casually.

Seeing Sonia with flowers and a gift box in hand, it was clear to Janie that Sonia was here at Adelmar to see someone.

They were both strangers to each other, so their interaction did not go any further than a cursory glance at each other.

Janie walked towards the CEO's private elevator and opened it by scanning her fingerprints. When Sonia saw that, she immediately rushed forward.

"Please hold the elevator for me, miss."

Janie did not intend to let the stranger get on the CEO's private elevator, but seeing that the stranger was rushing towards her at full speed, she stretched out her hand to hold the door. The last thing she wanted was for the woman to run into the door and get hurt.

Sonia entered the elevator and said, "Thank you."

"Which floor are you going?" asked Janie with her finger stretched out towards the control panel.

"The top floor, of course," replied Sonia.

"The top floor?"

Janie repeated those words as she took a careful look at Sonia again.

"Who are you seeing?"

"Uh, I'm going to see my hero and then ask him out for lunch," said Sonia with a smile.

"There are still heroes these days?" asked Janie with a frown.

"Not every woman can replace her hero, but I was lucky. I found mine, my one and only hero. I'm standing here now because he gave me a new lease of life" said Sonia proudly, her eyes sparkled with admiration.

"Your hero? What did he do for you?" asked Janie quizzically.
