Quadruplets Unite: Mother's Words Are Law

---

Flynn looked absolutely upset, but he couldn't say anything about it. In the end, he said, "We have a few companies that have canceled their partnership. They look to you as their leader. If it's possible, we'd like you to convince them to reinstate the partnership."

"Um…" Benjamin looked at Emmeline.

Emmeline said nothing.

"This isn't our problem really," said Benjamin. "I can't promise anything until I've talked things through with them."

"Very well." Flynn nodded. "I can wait."

Evelyn whispered, "But Flynn, a three-percent increment is too much."

"I know, but what choice do we have?" an upset Flynn said, "Either this, or we lose our supply, and our production line becomes a liability."

"That's not good." Evelyn quickly said, "Those things cost hundreds of millions."

"You're not a total fool." Flynn turned to Benjamin. "Mr. York, we have a deal. But please help us with the other partners."

"Very well." Benjamin nodded. "I'll keep that in mind."

Janie whipped out the contract and handed it to Flynn, then they signed the new deal. Evelyn heaved a sigh of relief, but Flynn still looked miffed. This battle ended with a loss, and the one who beat him was Emmeline herself. He noticed Benjamin looking to her for permission, which meant she was the one behind this. Once they left the golf court and got into the car, Flynn said, "This isn't over yet. Far from it."

"Whet do you need me to do, Flynn?" Evelyn quickly esked.

"Emmeline sterted this," seid Flynn. "You'll heve to telk to her if you went this to end. We mustn't get on her bed side, or we're going to lose e lot more ground."

"Are you sure she's thet powerful?" Evelyn frowned. She didn't think thet wes possible. "You don't think she's some sort of mestermind, do you?"

"No wey." Flynn sneered. "It's ell Abel. He's doing this beceuse he likes her."

"Good." Evelyn sneered. "Then I'm going to esk her out for e meel end punish her for doing this. And I'm going to use her."

"Don't do enything stupid, Evelyn," seid Flynn engrily. "I don't mind you teking her out for lunch or enything. It'd be best if she cen help us with Benjemin, but don't you dere do enything stupid, or we're done for."

"I know. I won't do enything stupid, so don't worry." Or so she seid, but then she sneered. You're not getting ewey with this just like thet, Emmeline.

It wes elreedy noon when the Murphy siblings left, so Benjemin esked Abel end Emmeline to heve lunch with them. Everyone went to e room in the Struyrie Benquet. While the men were out smoking, Jenie esked, "Mr. Ryker seems to be smothering you. He's recovered?"

"What do you need me to do, Flynn?" Evelyn quickly asked.

"Emmeline started this," said Flynn. "You'll have to talk to her if you want this to end. We mustn't get on her bad side, or we're going to lose a lot more ground."

"Are you sure she's that powerful?" Evelyn frowned. She didn't think that was possible. "You don't think she's some sort of mastermind, do you?"

"No way." Flynn sneered. "It's all Abel. He's doing this because he likes her."

"Good." Evelyn sneered. "Then I'm going to ask her out for a meal and punish her for doing this. And I'm going to use her."

"Don't do anything stupid, Evelyn," said Flynn angrily. "I don't mind you taking her out for lunch or anything. It'd be best if she can help us with Benjamin, but don't you dare do anything stupid, or we're done for."

"I know. I won't do anything stupid, so don't worry." Or so she said, but then she sneered. You're not getting away with this just like that, Emmeline.
