Quadruplets Unite: Mother's Words Are Law

Chapter 297

"Auntie Julianna, what brings you here?" Emmeline smiled while maintaining her composure.

"Am I not allowed to be here?" Julianna sneered coldly.

Emmeline also sneered back, "What are you talking about? As a café, we obviously welcome each and every one of you, but since we haven't yet opened, we can't entertain you. Why don’t you go somewhere else to kill your time, Auntie Julianna?"

Julianna sneered, "Emmeline, don't play dumb with me. You should be able to guess why I'm here, right?"

Emmeline’s beautiful eyes were filled with mockery, and she said, "Auntie Julianna, why would I be interested in guessing what's on your mind?"

"Fine, I'll tell you."

Julianna sat down on a chair. She was about to speak when Sam waved the tablecloth she was holding.

Sam said, "Move! Please step aside! The chairs haven't been cleaned, and we haven't been open in days. Now, the dust has accumulated on it."

Julianna hurriedly got to her feet. She patted her bottom and then turned to check her attire. She wore a dress that cost tens of thousands of dollars. She would be devastated if it became dirty.

Julianna was no longer willing to sit down after this interruption. She chose to carry on talking while standing, "Emmeline, are you aware Adrien was shot by a gangster while he was attempting to save you?"

Emmeline nodded.

Without thinking twice, Adrien had sprinted over to my aid, and he had indeed been shot. I was taken aback and upset by his actions. Honestly, I did not want to owe Adrien anything. I'm afraid to get involved with him. I prefer to owe Abel in contrast.

Sadly, I'm unable to dispute Julianna's claims this time.

Julianna began to sob, "My son almost lost his life because of you. I almost lost him."

Emmeline was able to recall the spot where Adrien was shot. The area was below his shoulder and dangerously close to, but not quite at, his lungs. The idea that he was on the verge of dying was untrue because there were no vital organs there.

Emmeline would appear to be using choppy logic if she insisted on this now. So she kept quiet and lowered her gaze.

"My son was almost killed on your behalf, and he's still in the hospital," Julianna continued.

"I feel I can't allow my son to make such great sacrifices in vain. Please return the children to Adrien. They shouldn't suffer with you anymore!"

"Slam!"

Emmeline slapped the table. Despite her frailty, she made a loud and sharp noise.

Julianna shivered in fear, and she yelled, "What is it? Do you want to challenge me?"

Emmeline snorted, "Why shouldn't I? How exactly do my kids suffer alongside me? Which of your eyes noticed their suffering?"

Julianna countered, "It's obvious. You are just a commoner with a meager income. How can you compete with wealthy families like us? Naturally, the kids are in worse shape with you than they are with us!"

Emmeline bellowed angrily, "Take back your nonsense! The children are mine. Who do you think you are?"
