Quadruplets Unite: Mother's Words Are Law

"I think so too." Flynn rubbed his temple. "Why does she always have to make us worry?"

"Calm down, Flynn." Lizbeth said, "It's very late, and we can't do much at this hour. I'll help you look for her first thing in the morning."

"Alright," Flynn replied.

After ending the call, Lizbeth heard Adrien asking, "What's the matter, Honey? Did you get a call from Flynn?"

"It's Evelyn." Lizbeth gave a sigh. "Flynn can't get in touch with her."

"Just leave her be." Adrien pulled Lizbeth into his embrace. "She's always up to no good. It's only a matter of time before karma gets to her."

Lizbeth fell silent even though she was still worried about Evelyn's safety.

On the other hand, Flynn stared at his phone as he considered whether he should call Adam at such a late hour. In the end, he dialed Adam's number regardless.

At the Imperial Palace, Adam had just fallen asleep with two beautiful ladies in his arms. He woke up with a start upon hearing the sound of his phone ringing.

Adam did not have Flynn's number saved on his phone. At first, he rejected the call because he saw that it was an unknown number.

When he received another call from the same number again, Adam picked up and shouted impatiently, "Who is it that's calling me at such an ungodly hour?!"

"Mr. Adam." Flynn said apologetically, "It's me, Flynn. I'm so sorry to bother you at such a late hour. I just want to know if Evelyn is with you right now?"

"Evelyn?" Adam knitted his brows. "We're not officially married yet. Why would she be at my place?"

"You haven't seen her today as well, then?"

"No. Why are you asking about that?"

"I've been trying to reach her but her phone has been turned off." Flynn explained, "I'm worried that something might have happened to Evelyn."

Adam paused briefly and said, "In that case, I'll help look for her in the morning and let you know if I have news of her."

"Thank you, Mr. Adam!"

Adam hung up soon afterward. He had a rough idea of where Evelyn would be.

She's most likely with Alana right now. Alana is staying at the Avalan. I'll drop by the mansion and ask Alana about Evelyn tomorrow.

Early morning the next day, Adam arrived at the Avalan Mansion. As expected, he found both Evelyn and Alana at the mansion.

He had no idea that the two of them had been at the Imperial Palace last night.

Evelyn tactfully kept her bandaged hand behind her back so that Adam wouldn't see it.

"Flynn was looking for you last night." Adam said, "He said your phone was turned off and he couldn't reach you."

"I lost my phone yesterday." Evelyn replied in a slightly nervous tone, "I'll give Flynn a call right away."

Just then, Alana said unwittingly, "Evelyn, did you lose your phone when we were…"

Evelyn quickly cast Alana a stern look to stop her. Alana placed a hand over her mouth as she realized she had almost made a slip.

Adam did not say anything as he scrutinized the expressions on their faces. He began, "Where did you lose your phone, Evelyn? Are you keeping something from me?"

"Of course not!" Alana exclaimed, "Evelyn and I went drinking last night. She lost her phone because she got a little drunk. That was all."

"Really?" Adam had a questioning look in his eyes. "The two of you better not be lying. You're aware of the consequences if I catch you lying to me!"
