Chapter 1298 I Won’t Do This Job

“Hmph!” Rosaline huffed. “Adrien and Adam are good kids, unlike some people who have no sense of

humanity!”

Julianna retorted, “You!”

“What about me?” Rosaline snapped back.

“Both of you, quit it!” Oscar snapped. “Listen to me, not each other!”

“Of course, Dad!” Julianna quickly tried to appease him, shooting a disdainful glance at Rosaline, who

returned the gesture with an eye-roll, neither of them willing to back down..

Oscar spoke up. “As you all know, there’s a longstanding feud between the Ryker family and the

Adelmar Clan. Coincidentally, Emmeline is from the Adelmar Clan!”

Landen and Julianna exchanged a knowing look, keeping their thoughts to themselves, believing the

matter had already been confirmed.

“If it weren’t for what happened five years ago when someone drugged Abel, and he got into that

embarrassing situation,” Oscar continued. “I would have suspected that Emmeline might be a spy

planted by the Adelmar Clan!”

You certainly have an active imagination! Abel thought, and Emmeline proposed, Should we consider

reviving Alana Lane to testify on my behalf?

“Fortunately, Abel and Emmeline’s affair came first, so I won’t pursue whether Emmeline is a spy,”

Oscar continued to rant. “But while you can escape capital punishment, you can’t escape guilt. I initially

intended to cast Emmeline out of the Ryker family, and that matter could have been settled. However,

Abel refuses to give up on this woman. He’s willing to forsake the Ryker Group for her. It’s truly

disappointing!”

Julianna’s eyes suddenly lit up, almost exclaiming, “Wonderful!”

Landen tugged on her clothing and whispered, “Steady yourself!”

At that, Julianna quirked her lips in dissatisfaction and composed herself.

“So, I’ve summoned Landen’s family for a meeting,” Oscar continued. “Since Abel is willing to

relinquish Ryker Group, I won’t beg him to stay. The current issue is who will take over the Ryker

Group!”

“Of course, it should be Adam!” Julianna couldn’t hold back any longer. “Dad, you’ve always had high

hopes for Adam, haven’t you?”

But before Oscar could respond, Adam jumped in and refused, “I won’t do this job! I have no interest in

being the thankless CEO, working my *ss off to get nothing in return!”.

Slap! Julianna smacked Adam, scolding. “You worthless thing!”

“I won’t do it. Not even if you beat me to death!” Adam continued. “I used to think being a CEO was NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

prestigious, but it’s just serving the entire Ryker family. So be it that I won’t be appreciated for feeding

this large family, but to even face criticism for any minor mistakes?! Not to mention, all sorts of

complaints. and grumbles will surface at every end of the year when it’s time to split the dividends.

“Emmeline and Abel-exhibit A. Grandad already has a world of issues just because she has

connections to the Adelmar Clan! Not only that, he removes Abel from his position as the CEO for

protecting his wife

and children! Sure, ignore all his contributions and sacrifices for the company! What’s the point of being

a CEO when it’s so frustrating?

“In any case, count me out! Whoever wants to do it, go ahead. I still want to live a few more years and

be a hero for a little longer!”

Adam’s lengthy speech nearly knocked Julianna unconscious, and her countenance turned grim.

Julianna shivered and pointed at Adam as she snapped at Landen, “Look at the good son you’ve

raised! A worthless fellow! I should have strangled him when he was young!”

“Silence!” Oscar slammed the table. “Nothing good will come out of being forced. If Adam doesn’t want

to do it, I won’t force him. The job will fall onto Adrien!”

“What?!” Adrien jumped up. “Grandad, please take back your decision. I’m not fit to be the CEO of

Ryker Group!”

Slam! Oscar slammed the table again, this time with great force. “Are you expecting me to come out of

retirement and raise you spineless bunch?!”

“Or you can have my dad or Uncle Lewis do it…” Adrien mumbled hesitantly.

“Hmph!” Oscar sneered. “Your dad and Uncle Lewis?”

Adrien nodded. “They are only in their fifties, are they not? Isn’t it just right?”

“You sure are confident in them!” Oscar insinuated and pointed at Landen and Lewis. “These two, ask

them what they’ve been up to in their teens, the prime years for studying!”
