Chapter 23
"Yes, Mr. Benjamin." Ethan was embarrassed.
Alana smiled at Benjamin. "Mr. Benjamin, please remember that the Lane family is also a successful
corporation if you have any opportunity for collaboration," she said.
"Don't forget about the Louise family too. Just look for me because Ethan is not working now," said
Maxwell.
"You should have told me earlier!" Benjamin complained.
"Well, it's not too late to know that." Alondra snickered.
Ethan felt so embarrassed he could bury his head in the ground.
"The one I trusted is Ethan, not Louise Corporation, nor the Lane family," said Benjamin as he put his
arm around Ethan's shoulders.
"Err…" Maxwell was dumbfounded, and so were Alondra and Alana.
Ethan thought he was in a dream because it was the first time he had met Benjamin.

However, what Benjamin said next surprised Ethan more.
"Since Ethan resigned, Adelmar Group will cancel every project with the Louise family and the Lane
family. Also, there's a vacancy at Adelmar Group waiting for Ethan. It comes with an annual salary of
two hundred thousand dollars and a bonus," said Benjamin.
Ethan almost fainted when he heard it. Emmeline quickly held him.
"Ethan, you should thank Benjamin!' said Emmeline.
"I finally can pay off the money you owe Mr. Ryker, Emma." Ethan stammered.
"Don't worry about me. I just hope this will lessen your burden," said Emmeline.
"Speaking of which, I have an oversea project for you, Ms. Louise," said Benjamin.
"Stop kidding, Benjamin. I'm not capable of running a project." Emmeline smiled.
"You could work together with Mr. Ryker. I'm sure he's interested," said Benjamin as he looked at Abel.
Alana almost had a stroke when she heard that.
Who qualifies Emmeline to get a big project from Adelmar Group and collaborate with Abel?
"This is ridiculous!" Alondra told Alana under her breath.
"She must have seduced all the men to get this." Alana gritted her teeth.
"Great! I'll cancel the two hundred thousand compensation request if Miss Louise is going to work
together on the project," announced Abel.
Alana fainted after hearing Abel's words.
"Find out more about Emmeline Louise. She seems suspicious." Abel told Luca after the meeting.
"We did that before. Miss Louise was chased away by the Louise family. She suddenly appeared this
year after not contacting them for five years. She does not seem to have any suspicious connection,"
answered Luca.
"Probably something happened during the five years. Get a more thorough check on her!" Abel
frowned.
"Yes, Mr. Ryker!" said Luca.

After a few days, Adrien appeared in front of the counter at the cafe where Emmeline was working.
"Why are you here?" Emmeline was annoyed. She did not want to see Adrien at all, even though he
was the birth father of her children based on the DNA result.
"I'm here to bring the kids home. After all, they are my offspring too." Adrien smiled.
"Dream on and get lost!" Emmeline knocked on Adrien's forehead with a wooden spoon.
"We are not going to leave Mommy!" said the young voices from upstairs.
"Then, let Mommy marry me! I know Granny is a little reluctant, but look at her! She's the most beautiful
lady in Struyria," said Adrien.
"Get out! Kids, help Mommy to chase this old pervert away!" Emmeline asked for her children's help
while chasing Adrien with a wooden spoon.
"Old pervert? I'm not even thirty!" Adrien ran away with his hands over his head.
Bam!
Adrien bumped into someone. He moved his eyesight from the shiny leather shoes along the long legs
and landed on Abel's cold face.
"Abel? Why are you here?" said Adrien in embarrassment.
