The Quadruplets Are Mine? Chapter 153

“How dare you hit me!” Janie shrieked in outrage, clasping a hand to her stinging cheek. “I’m going to

have Mr. Faughn fire you right now!”

“You can try, missy…” Emmeline retorted, smiling grimly.

“Oh, I’m certainly going to try. Do you think I’m afraid of you?” Janie turned, about to flounce off in

search of Simon. Abruptly, she froze in her tracks as a voice came from outside the costume tent.

“Who’s spewing all that arrogant crap?”

Emmeline turned as Adrien came in, smartly dressed in an impeccably tailored business suit and

polished leather shoes.

Janie recognized Adrien immediately. There were very few people indeed who would not recognize the

suave, flirtatious playboy; he was part of the wealthy Ryker family after all, and a very eligible catch.

“Mr. Adrien Ryker?” Janie had never expected to encounter Adrien here, of all places. Putting on her

most charming smile, she hurried over to welcome him. “What a pleasure! Why are you here, though?”

“Why can’t I show up if I like?” Adrien shot back, eyeing Janie coldly. “I seem to recall someone was

spouting some really outrageous nonsense just now too.”

“Exactly!” Janie whirled around

and pointed straight at Emmeline. “This insignificant stunt girl here had the nerve to challenge me! She

doesn’t know her place!”

“I’m talking about you, woman!” Adrien strode over to Emmeline and slipped his arm protectively

around her shoulders, glaring at Janie. “Who the hell do you think you are, taking that tone with our

Emma?”

“Mr. Ryker…” Janie was startled. “What do you mean, our Emma?”

“Emma’s part of our family. But I distinctly seem to remember hearing someone having the gall to say

that they’re going to get her fired!”

“But…but Mr. Ryker,” Janie stammered, her brow creasing in

eonfusion. “Why would a member of your family be reduced to working as a stunt double here to earn

money?”

“Because she’s bored!” Adrien lifted his chin slightly and stared down at Janie with contempt. “She’s

bored out of her skull and needs something to occupy her time!”

Bored? Janie did not quite believe this. Who in the world would be so bored that they’d come to work

as a stunt double?

“Emma…” Adrien turned to Emmeline. “Ignore this ignorant floozy; she’s just jealous, that’s all. I have a

present for you; see if you like it?”

Emmeline blinked, completely

taken aback. Adrien had a present for her? What scheme was he hatching now?

“I know I’ve neglected you and the kids,” Adrien continued with

utmo

sincerity. “I swear to God I’ll turn over a new leaf from today on and work really hard. I won’t go back to

my playboy ways, I promise.”

Emmeline was so startled that she stared at Adrien fixedly, weighing him up from head to toe.

Her scrutiny made Adrien extremely uncomfortable. He hemmed and hawed for a little, then pleaded,

“What’s wrong, Emma? You’ve got to believe me.”

Janie stood there in utter shock, listening to the entire exchange.

What? Adrien and Emmeline already had children? Did this mean that they were…a couple?

In that case, she had absolutely nothing to worry about! Since Emmeline was Adrien’s wife, of course

she wouldn’t get together with Benjamin! Not only that, it looked like Emmeline and

Benjamin got along quite well. Perhaps…

Perhaps she might even consent to help Janie get closer to Benjamin if Janie could play her cards

right!

At the thought of this, Janie plastered on her biggest smile and took hold of Emmeline’s arm. “My

goodness, look at how attentive Mr. Ryker is, Emma! You’re such a lucky girl! You even have a family

together, my goodness!”

Emmeline stared at her, speechless. Who the hell asked you to butt in, bitch?

However, she did not wish to cause a scene with Adrien in front of Janie, so she merely nodded.

“Alright, Adrien. I know you’ll do your best!”

Adrien brought out the velvet jewelry case and carefully opened it, revealing the dazzling diamond

necklace. “Let me put it on for you, Emma.”

Emmeline swallowed her

instinctive revulsion and nodded instead.

Adrien grinned in delight and clasped the glittering diamonds

around Emmeline’s elegant, slender neck, then stepped back to admire the effect. “Just look at our

Emma! Doesn’t she look gorgeous?”

“Oh, yes, absolutely!” Janie chimed in sycophantically. “She looks gorgeous!”

“Alright, alright, that’s enough.” Emmeline felt uncomfortable and slightly impatient with all the attention.

“Adrien, it’s almost time for me to get to work. I’ve got a busy day ahead.”.

“Okay, Emma.” Adrien took her hand and clasped it for a moment. “Go off to your work then. I’ll come

and pick you up for dinner when you’re done.”

Before Emmeline could even reply,

Janie piped up, clapping her hands in delight, “Oh, you absolutely must go, Émma!”

“Sure, whatever,” Emmeline agreed. She just wanted to get Adrien out of there as soon as possible.
