Quadruplets Unite: Mother's Words Are Law

It's called a wake-up call." Alana sneered. "Emmeline's the one he loves, so you can forget about getting his love."

"Emmeline!" Evelyn gnashed her teeth. "I'll kill her!"

"Yeah, shout all you want." Alana mocked. "You're a cripple. You can't even fend for yourself, let alone get back at her."

"I…" Evelyn looked down.

"If you really want revenge, we can work together," said Alana. "But with you being a cripple, I think I should shelve that plan."

"I can ask her to help me out," said Evelyn. "I need to get back up if I want to get back at her. Gotta learn how to be flexible."

"Finally." Alana nodded, smiling darkly.

"I'll tell Adam to ask her out." Evelyn pushed the wheelchair.

"You are not going to do that." Adam came down, holding a glass of red wine. "I just got into a fight with Abel. If I ask for any favors, it'd be bad for me. You're dealing with this yourself."

Alana sneered. He's so unromantic.

"What now?" Evelyn looked down. "I need someone to help me out. Emmeline's going to yell at me if I call her out of the blue."

"Get Flynn to do it for you, then." Adam swirled his glass of wine. "He's the best guy for the job. Emmeline and Abel don't have any beef with him."

"He'll kill me if he finds out what I did. There's no way he'll help."

"That's your only choice." Adam finished his wine in one go. "Do what you will."

Evelyn mused over it and realized she had no choice but to call her brother. No one else had any reason to help. In the end, she called Flynn, and as expected he blew up.

"Are you a moron? We're still dealing with Adelmar here, and you set Emmeline up again? Do you want to bring your whole family down?"

Evelyn was quiet.

"No wonder a dozen partners just canceled their contract! So it's you!"

"What?" Evelyn gasped. "How did that happen?"

"Abel, I bet. He's the leader of this industry. You're lucky he didn't kill you for what you did to his wife!"

"O-Oh no. Dad's going to kill me."

"He will. You'd better settle this, or the company's done for. Do you have any idea how much I've had to do?"

"I just wanted to get back at her." Evelyn cried. "How should I know she knows how to fight? She'd be dead meat otherwise."

"How stupid can you be?" Flynn roared. "You deserve this. I'm not helping you this time."

Evelyn kept crying. "But you can't just let me live like this my whole life. I don't want to live like this. You have to help me."
