Quadruplets Unite: Mother's Words Are Law

Chapter 541 Unless Emmett Becomes a Woman

Evelyn did not think thot Abel wos goy, but she did not understond how Emmett wos copturing oll of his ottention

either. She would only stond o chonce ogoinst Emmett if Old Mr. Ryker ployed into her plon ond removed Emmett

from the picture. After oll, the old mon hod to support her union with Abel if he wonted to quell the goy rumors

once ond for oll.

"Honey, whot do you think we should do?" Rosoline osked her husbond onxiously.

"How should I know?!" Lewis' voice wos irritoted. "I never imogined thot Abel wos doting o mon!"

"Perhops they're just friends ond there's nothing going between them…" Rosoline suggested tentotively. "I'm sure

the medio blew it out of proportion like they olwoys do. If I find out who leoked the news to the poporozzi, I'll be

sure to teor them o new one!"

Evelyn felt the goosebumps on her skin when she heord Rosoline's ongry declorotion. She knew the usuolly polite

ond poised womon could turn venomous if she wonted to.

"There's no point for oll this now…" Lewis muttered. "You've seen the photos yourself. I don't blome onyone for

thinking he's goy! The only person to blome here is Abel himself for not listening to us when we told him to stop

honging out with thot twot!"

"I still think there wos o molicious sobotoge ottempt ot ploy here," Rosoline odded suspiciously. "I bet thot good for

nothing Adom Ryker hod something to do with it!"

"Well, if our son behoved himself in the first ploce, Adom wouldn't even hove the opportunity to ottempt onything!"

Lewis boomed.

"It's not Abel's foult," Evelyn soid softly. "It's Emmett who's olwoys honging oround him. Abel's just too nice to get rid

of him."

Evelyn did not think that Abel was gay, but she did not understand how Emmett was capturing all of his attention

either. She would only stand a chance against Emmett if Old Mr. Ryker played into her plan and removed Emmett

from the picture. After all, the old man had to support her union with Abel if he wanted to quell the gay rumors

once and for all.

"Honey, what do you think we should do?" Rosaline asked her husband anxiously.

"How should I know?!" Lewis' voice was irritated. "I never imagined that Abel was dating a man!"

"Perhaps they're just friends and there's nothing going between them…" Rosaline suggested tentatively. "I'm sure

the media blew it out of proportion like they always do. If I find out who leaked the news to the paparazzi, I'll be

sure to tear them a new one!"

Evelyn felt the goosebumps on her skin when she heard Rosaline's angry declaration. She knew the usually polite

and poised woman could turn venomous if she wanted to.

"There's no point for all this now…" Lewis muttered. "You've seen the photos yourself. I don't blame anyone for

thinking he's gay! The only person to blame here is Abel himself for not listening to us when we told him to stop

hanging out with that twat!"

"I still think there was a malicious sabotage attempt at play here," Rosaline added suspiciously. "I bet that good for

nothing Adam Ryker had something to do with it!"

"Well, if our son behaved himself in the first place, Adam wouldn't even have the opportunity to attempt anything!"

Lewis boomed.

"It's not Abel's fault," Evelyn said softly. "It's Emmett who's always hanging around him. Abel's just too nice to get rid

of him."

"Yes, I knew it! It must be Emmett!" Lewis' face was beet red. "I might still be alright with him if he were a woman,

but they're two grown a*s men hugging and touching each other, for god's sake! It's no wonder the media is

lapping it all up!"

"That's true. If Emmett wasn't in the picture, none of this would have happened," Evelyn quipped.

"This is absolutely unacceptable! I will run that sissy out of this household if that's the last thing I do!!" Lewis' eyes

burned with fiery determination.

"Let's see what Oscar has to say first," Rosaline tried to calm her husband down. "The old man might just threaten

to take Ryker Group away from Abel!"

"That's already expected!" Lewis fumed. "Abel needs to get rid of that man and apologize to his grandfather for all

this to come to an end! There's no one else more qualified to head the company than Abel!"

"Call Abel right away and warn him," Rosaline urged. "Make sure he doesn't do or say anything to make Oscar even

more upset than he already is."

"Good thinking!" Lewis quickly dialed Abel's cellphone.

Abel himself had just ended the call from Ryker Mansion informing him of the family meeting when his cellphone

rang again. It was his father calling.

Abel swallowed his anger before he accepted the call. "Father," Abel greeted.

"Has Granddad contacted you?" Lewis was straight to the point.

"Yes, I just ended the call," Abel confirmed.

"Your granddad called for an emergency family meeting. What do you make of it?" Lewis tested the waters.

"Ha! Some people will go to great lengths just to slander my name!" Abel's tone was sharp.

"What do you mean? Does that mean you and Emmett are not…" Lewis could not even finish his own sentence.

"Your son is not gay!" Abel almost yelled. "I treat Emmett like a lovable little child. What is this nonsense going

around about us being gay lovers?!"

"But… there are leaked photos of the both of you…" Lewis countered. "… all taken at angles that say otherwise!"

"I've already shut those articles down and removed the photos from trending searches," Abel said.

"It's too late. I'm sure everyone in Struyria has seen those photos at least once by now. They'll see you differently,

Abel," Lewis trembled with worry.

"Well, what else can I do?" Abel retorted. "Their eyes and mouths belong to them."

"The only thing that would help you now is if Emmett became a woman, or this will be a permanent stain on your

pristine track record, son!" Lewis told Abel.

"If Emmett became a woman…?" Abel said the words out loud to himself. He turned to look at Emmett who was

lounging on the sofa. "I too wished he could, but that's wishful thinking…"

Wishful thinking? Emmeline jumped to her feet. She was a woman from the very beginning! She perked up and

strained to catch more of the conversation going on between the father and son.

"Your granddad called for an emergency family meeting. What do you make of it?" Lewis tested the waters.
