Ambush of the Quadruplets

Chapter 1494 Trouble

Landon shook his head firmly. “No.”

Abel’s brow furrowed deeply, “Tell Adam he needs to turn Zahn in. If he doesn’t, he’ll be facing a

lawsuit.”

“I already informed him,” Landon said, feeling exasperated. “But Adam doesn’t listen. He believes you

can ensure his son’s safety.”

“I’m not here to guarantee Zahn’s safety,” Abel snapped coldly. “He needs to learn a lesson.”

“But…” Landon hesitated, choosing his words carefully. “This afternoon, Adam and his wife caused a

scene at the company, making offensive remarks.”

“What were the security guards doing?” Abel’s expression darkened.

“Because he’s your elder brother, the guards hesitated to intervene,” Landon explained. “I called 911,

and they had to step in. I arranged for them to stay at a hotel, providing good food and drinks. That This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

calmed things down. Adam said-”

“What did he say?” Abel’s eyes narrowed.

Landon hesitated before responding. “If you don’t show up, he’ll cause trouble at Altney Steel and your

home.”

*D*mn it!” Abel slammed his fist onto the sofa. “I haven’t even held them accountable yet!”

“The car was taken by Zahn using a key he secretly got hold of. We shouldn’t be held responsible,”

Landon pointed out. “But the real issue now is that Zahn, unlicensed, has fled. Both the police and the

injured party are looking for us!”

“What’s the condition of the injured party now?” Abel exhaled a puff of smoke.

“I visited the hospital this afternoon.” Landon rubbed his brow. “The other party has a fractured pelvis

and organ rupture. The initial surgery cost around $30,000, which I’ve already paid, or else…”

“I know,” Abel acknowledged. “Otherwise, Emma will be summoned.”

“Yes,” Landon confirmed. “Now both the injured party and the police have my contact number. I’m

afraid they might call Emma.”

Abel’s expression changed abruptly, and he frowned as he dialed Brandon’s phone. “Who’s at the

hospital?”

“The nurse and I are here,” Brandon responded. “What’s the matter?” As he spoke, he opened the door

to the hospital room and stepped into the corridor.

“Emma’s phone,” Abel instructed. “Forward all incoming calls to my number.”

“Abel, we set that up this afternoon!” Brandon reminded him. “You’re only just remembering now!”

“Alright, I got it. Thanks, anyway.” Abel ended the call.

“Mr. Ryker,” Landon inquired. “What should we do next?”

Abel pinched his brow in thought. “On the side of the injured party, we’ll cover all medical expenses,

and the police will proceed according to the law. But Zahn must come forward voluntarily, or it’ll be

problematic.”

“What if he doesn’t surrender?” Landon questioned, “Either we take joint responsibility for lending a car

to an unlicensed person, or he faces additional charges for stealing a vehicle!”

“These are all minor issues, but the real…“. Abel clenched his teeth.

Landon understood the real issue was Adam, who was skilled at causing trouble. This time, Adam even

brought his wife along.

“It’s late. You should get some rest,” Abel suggested. “I’ll be in the office early tomorrow morning,

waiting for them.”

“Alright, you should rest as well,” Landon replied, about to leave when Abel called him back.

“Mr. Ryker, is there anything else?”

“See if you can order the same imported Ford Focus in the same color in Altney,” Abel instructed.

“Alright, I’ll arrange it first thing tomorrow,” Landon acknowledged.

Abel arrived at his office early the next morning. As soon as he settled into the leather chair, Adam and

his wife came.

Abel lowered his sharp eyebrows, his cold gaze fixed on the desk, exuding a subtle, chilling aura.

Adam’s wife had originally intended to enter and plead, possibly shedding tears to evoke sympathy.

However, she was taken aback when she saw the person before her. It was the slender and resolute

teenager from over a decade ago, now drastically transformed. She was surprised by the

transformation. Abel’s deep, elegant brows, sharp facial features, and captivating, handsome

appearance caught her off guard. Even from a distance, the chilling, piercing intensity in his eyes sent

shivers down her spine.

Seated on the sofa, Adam propped his feet up on the side table.

Abel still didn’t look up; his brows were deeply furrowed, emphasizing his temples.

A few minutes passed, and Adam couldn’t hold back. “Have you been in the Magic City lately?”

“That’s none of your concern, Abel retorted, his voice low. “Let Zahn come forward voluntarily, and I

won’t press charges against him for compensation.”

“Hmph!” Adam sneered. “I never intended to compensate in the first place. Where would I get the

money? How can I afford hundreds of thousands!”

“Fine!” Abel finally looked up, his cold gaze fixed on Adam’s face. “That’s simple, then. I will cover the

injured party’s compensation and let Zahn face the consequences.”
