The Quadruplets Are Mine?

Chapter 1307 F*ck With Me but Not Emma 

On the other hand, Adrien, holding a cigarette and a lighter, pretended to head to the garden.

The surveillance monitors were in the security room behind, and Adrien headed straight there.

The security personnel on duty were startled when they saw it was Adrien and hastily brought a chair for him to sit on.

All the employees of the Ryker family knew that Adrien had recently assumed the position of CEO of the Ryker Group.

Now, apart from Oscar, he was the highest authority in the Ryker Group. This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.

‘One man above, ten thousand beneath, as they said.

“Now I not only manage the Ryker Group but also need to oversee the security of the entire Ryker family,” Adrien said. “Please retrieve the surveillance footage from Grandad’s birthday celebration. I want to check if any suspicious individuals infiltrated.”

“You work hard, Mr. Adrien.” The security officer, feeling that Adrien was truly responsible and diligent in his work, setting a great example for everyone, earnestly retrieved the surveillance footage from the past few days and watched it with Adrien.

Adrien lit a cigarette and said, “I’ll watch quietly. You can go about your duties.”

Instantly, the security officer understood that Adrien didn’t like someone hovering around him constantly. “Alright, I’ll go outside and check if the German Shepherds have been fed.”

“Sure.” Adrien nodded. “Dogs are humanistic. Take good care of them and make sure they are well- fed.”

The security officer nodded repeatedly, appreciating Adrien’s kindness and concern.

Adrien dismissed the security officer and carefully examined the surveillance footage from Oscar’s birthday.

After fast-forwarding for a while, he indeed discovered something fishy.

In the video, the Steiner mother and daughter appeared a little after Abel and his family headed toward Oscar’s study in the main building. However, they couldn’t enter the study, so the mother and daughter went into the nearby restroom.

Adrien recalled that there were windows at the back of the restroom and the study. He speculated that the mother and daughter eavesdropped from the restroom. Though they couldn’t capture everything from the study, they could probably make out the gist of the conversation.

Seeing the furtive behavior of the mother and daughter, as if they were acting like thieves, Adrien was convinced they were the culprits.

He clipped this portion of the video and sent it to his phone before leaving the security room.

Back in the mansion’s main hall, Lizbeth was still massaging Oscar’s shoulders.

Oscar was enjoying it so much that he closed his eyes and almost dozed off as Lizbeth’s hands moved gently.

When Lizabeth saw Adrien coming in, she mouthed, “Did you get it?”

In response, Adrien made an OK gesture with his hand.

Lizbeth gently tapped Oscar’s shoulder and whispered, “Grandad, please don’t fall asleep. Lunch is about to be served.”

Oscar woke up, still a bit groggy, and nodded. “Hmm, yes, lunch, lunch!”

After lunch, Oscar went for his afternoon nap, and Adrien and Lizbeth also took a rest in their guest room.

Adrien called his brother. “Adam, Ysabel was right. It really was the Steiner mother and daughter!”

“Those motherf*ckers!” Adam cursed on the other end. They can f*ck with me all they want, but how dare they f*ck with my Emma?!”

“Adam,” Adrien reminded him, “watch your words!”

Ahem, Adam cleared his throat. “I, uh, I misspoke. You know what I mean. Emma’s our little sister-in- law.”

“That’s right!” Adrien said. “Where are you? Let’s meet up. I’ll show you the video, and we can talk about how to deal with those two.”

“I’m in Avalan,” Adam replied. “Come over whenever you can.”

“Alright,” Adrien said. “I’ll send Lizbeth home and then head your way.”

“Sounds good.” Adam nodded. “I happen to have some good wine with me. Come and give it a try.”

“Alright,” Adrien replied. “I’ll be there shortly.”

After hanging up, Adrien mentioned his plan to Lizbeth, who happened to want to go home. She had been feeling lethargic, and her back ached lately. She thought a good nap at home would do her well.

With that, Adrien drove Lizbeth back to the Meriwether Mansion and then headed to Avalan, where Adam was at home alone.

Upon seeing his brother, Adam poured some red wine at the bar and handed it to Adrien..

“An ’82 Lafite, see if it’s up to your taste.”

*I take just one glass of this ’80, Adrien replied as he accepted the wine. “Lizbeth is trying to conceive, so Į need to be cautious with smoking and drinking. It’s best to consume as little as possible, or better yet, avoid them altogether.”

“That gives me a headache,” Adam said. “If someday my wife decides to conceive and forbids me from drinking and smoking, I’d rather be dead!”

“Sure, you say that now. Adrien disagreed. “I guarantee you’ll find people who urge you to smoke and drink annoying when you and your wife plan to conceive. Nothing is more important than the health of your own kids!”

“Touche!” Adam raised his glass. “I’ll keep that in mind, Let’s get down to business.”
