Chapter 1290 The Secret Has Been Exposed
The screen showed no one offering congratulations, only a blood-red background, and there was no
accompanying background music. It was eerie and unusual.
As soon as this footage appeared, an instant hush fell over the crowd, and everyone’s attention was
fixed on the screen. They thought there might be some technical issue with the video.
Even Oscar furrowed his brow, squinting at the screen on the stage. Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
Then, against the blood-red backdrop, bold white letters appeared, ‘Emmeline Louise, disciple of the
Adelmar Clan, wishes Oscar Ryker a happy birthday.
Once these words appeared, whether people knew the insider information or not, they found the
situation odd and somewhat creepy.
Why use such glaring white letters for birthday wishes? How disrespectful.
And the music that followed only made everyone erupt in shock-it was a mournful tune!
Oscar abruptly stood up, his expression tense. “What is going on? Why is an Adelmar Clan disciple
here? Isn’t Emmeline Abel’s wife? How did she become an Adelmar Clan disciple?”
The video operator, realizing that something was wrong, immediately stopped the playback, but it was
too late. Oscar was already fuming.
“Yes, it worked!” Michaela and Sonia exchanged glances, a mixture of nervousness and excitement.
Judging by Oscar’s reaction, it seemed that he and the Adelmar Clan had a deep-seated and bitter
enmity!
Emmeline was also dumbfounded. She couldn’t believe someone would reveal this secret on such an
occasion. Whoever did it, they clearly wanted to make her look bad and also kick her out of the Ryker
family!
Abel grabbed Emmeline’s hand and reassured her, “Emma, don’t worry. You’ve got me. But what’s
going on?”
“I don’t know either!” Emmeline frowned. “Other than Mom and Dad, Adam is the only other person
who knows I’m a disciple of the Adelmar Clan. Who would reveal this now?”
Conversely, Lewis and Rosaline were equally shocked and worried when they saw the text. This is bad’
Who’d cause such a major problem to our family?!
Oscar would certainly flip out if he found out Emmeline belonged to the Adelmar Clan.
“Abel, Emma, listen to me!” Adam squeezed through the crowd. “I had nothing to do with this. I swear
on my life, I have no knowledge of this!”
Abel remained silent, his face grim. He regarded everyone around him with suspicion, and at this
moment, Adam was the most suspicious.
“Abel, Emma, you have to believe me. It really wasn’t me!” Adam pleaded desperately.
“I never said it was you,” Emmeline replied grimly. “You’re not stupid.”
“Yes, yes. You’re right!” Adam nodded vigorously. “Don’t worry, Emmeline. I will find the person behind
this prank and seek justice for you!”
“Too late,” Abel said in a low voice. “Can’t you see that Grandfather is already frothing at the mouth?”
“I’ll try to talk to him and explain that this is a malicious prank,” Adam said as he made his way toward
Oscar.
“Abel, Emma, what’s going on?” Adrien and Lizbeth also approached, their faces filled with. concern.
“Emma, how could you be a member of the Adelmar Clan? Don’t you know the history between the
Adelmar Clan and Grandfather?” Adrien asked urgently.
“What’s the point of discussing this now?” Abel replied. “The secret is already out!”
“To be honest, I had my suspicions,” Adrien continued. “Emma’s brother is surnamed. Adelmar, and his
medical skills are extraordinary. Besides the Adelmar family, who else could it be? I just didn’t expect it
to be true!”
Landen and Julianna were also stunned by the video.
Emmeline is a disciple of the Adelmar Clan? Is this news good or bad for the Meriwether Mansion?
It’s good, right? If this fact is confirmed, Emmeline would be kicked out of the family by Old Mr. Ryker,
and Abel’s marriage with Emmeline would cease instantly as well! After all, the elder would never allow
his granddaughter-in-law to be from an enemy family!
If Abel insists on not separating from Emmeline, then the Ryker Group… Will it potentially fall into
Adam’s hands?
