Chapter 677 Once On Shore, One Prays No More
"We can set a date next time,” Rosaline continued to maintain her politeness.
“Alondra,” After exchanging a greeting with Lewis, he tugged at Alondra, "You’re talking way too much.”
"What’s wrong with that?” Alondra argued, “Shouldn’t women talk about cosmetics, fashion, and bags? Unlike you
guys, guys like you only know to talk about women.:
Both Lewis and Maxwell stiffened.
Emmeline’s face turned slightly darker too.
She was lucky that this woman with exaggerated makeup here was not her biological mother. Or else, she would
feel so embarrassed that she wanted to find a hole to hide in.
"Hey, Rosaline,” Suddenly, Julianna’s voice came from behind them, “Are you meeting up with your in-laws?”
Everyone turned around and saw that it was Julianna. Landen, Adrien, and Lizbeth were with her too.
"What brings you guys here?” Rosaline put on a faint smile, “Are you having a family gathering?”
"Of course not,” Julianna replied, "We are meeting up with our in laws as well. Didn’t you see that we are waiting for
the Murphy
family from Altney?”
"I see. Congratulations on that,” Rosaline was being perfunctory.

were just small businessmen.”
Rosaline’s face froze.
"What’s more, our daughters-in-law are the heirs of the Murphy family. No ordinary ladies could compare to them.”
Julianna was saying that with some jealousy in her voice as she directed her gaze at Emmeline.
“Mum,” Adrien pulled his mother’s arm and warned, “You should stop talking.”
"Who do you mean when you say no ordinary girls?” Another voice came from the door.
Everyone turned around and saw that it was Evelyn who made her appearance gracefully. Together with her were
Flynn and Adam.
“You’re finally here, Mr. Murphy and Evelyn!” Julianna eagerly welcomed them, “We are waiting fervently for you
siblings.”
"Auntie Julianna,” Evelyn shot a glance at Emmeline, “Who are you talking about just now?”
"Who else would I be talking about?” Julianna replied, “Both you and Liz are the treasured daughters of the Murphy
family, unlike some other girl.”
"Emmeline is in fact...” Rosaline was about to reveal Emmeline’s identity upon hearing their conversation.
“Let’s not do this, Madame Ryker,” Emmeline stopped her, “There’s no reason for us to drag this out with them.”
Rosaline held back what she wanted to say, but Adam frowned as he could not hear the full sentence.
What was Rosaline trying to say about Emmeline?
Last time when Evelyn was bedridden, Mr. Ywain had guessed that Emmeline was a disciple from the Adelmar clan.
However, Evelyn had begged Emmeline to cure her, to which she failed.
In the end, she had to rely on the famous Wonder Doctor who used to save their grandparent's life. Only she could
cure Evelyn.
Adam was about to vanquish his suspicion that Emmeline was one ofthe Adelmars, but Rosaline almost let it slip...
“Mr. Ryker,” Evelyn tugged at Adam’s shirt, “Stop overthinking.
Emmeline is just an ordinary girl from a tiny family.”
Abel coughed loudly to interrupt them. He asked Flynn, “How is the Murphy family business of late?”
Flynn’s face turned pale upon hearing that. He replied hastily, “Mr. Abel, Ms. Louise, we are just catching our breath
lately. Please spare us!”
“Then, watch your sister’s mouth,” Emmeline reminded him, “I will be happy to see Ms. Murphy becoming an
outcast again.”
Evelyn was stunned.
She was so busy running her mouth that she had forgotten about her embarrassing episode which almost made
her get shunned by her own family.
She could not forget that Emmeline had the backing of the Rykers and the Adelmars.

If another tragedy happened to the Murphys again, Paul would really ask her to get lost!
"Evelyn,” Flynn’s face darkened, “Apologize to Ms. Louise now!”
“I...” Evelyn pouted.
“Quick, Evelyn,” Flynn’s heart was racing, “Did you know the saying ‘Once on shore, one prays no more’? That’s
you right now!”
Evelyn was not ready to give up her dignity yet. She shot a helpless look at Adam. However, the man’s face was as
black as coal. He did not seem the least bit interested in covering up for her.
Considering that Evelyn did not want anything bad to happen to the Murphys again, she reluctantly apologized to
Emmeline, “Emmeline, I am sorry!”
“I don’t recall that I want to forgive you, do I?” Emmeline replied cynically.
Evelyn’s face was drained of colors. She wailed, "Emma, you can’t do that to the Murphys again.”
“That depends on how you behave,” Emmeline was tilting her head at Evelyn, and a cold smile was hanging on her
face.
Evelyn sucked in a deep breath, “What should I do?”
“What do you think?” Emmeline narrowed her charming pair of eyes.
