The entire city wos eogerly lopping up Abel Ryker's scondolous secret. Two days later, Struyria was rife with shocking gossip about Abel Ryker. The media outlets had published various photos and videos of Abel and Emmett. Some caught them holding hands, others caught Abel's arm slung around Emmett's shoulder. More importantly, the media painted them as two men who could not keep their hands off each other. It would have less of a blow if Emmett was a woman, since Abel was single and available after all. However, it just so happened that his closest friend and partner was a man, and a charming one too. Anyone who saw these photos and read the news would have concluded that Abel Ryker, the poster boy of Struyria's wealthiest families and the head of the influential Ryker family, was a homosexual. The backlash from the news was massive, shaking the upper echelons of Struyria to its core, and no one was happier than Adam Ryker who could barely contain his excitement at the thought of Abel being brought down by the paparazzi

"Abel did work hard for the company after all. He can't possibly just… step down, can he?" "I'm the head of this family and my word is final!" Old Mr. Ryker looked like he was about to explode

. "Who cares how much work he has done for the company if he embarrasses us like that! He should be thankful I'm not punishing him worse than this!" Adam kept silent and lowered his head, but he could not help himself from laughing gleefully on the inside. Oh, Adam… Let's see how you get yourself out of this one!

"Call your parents, your uncle and aunty, Adrien and Abel! Tell them we're having a meeting right now!" Though elderly, Old Mr. Ryker was still as lucid as ever. "Granddad, I can call Adrien's family, but I think it's best if the butler calls Abel's family instead. I don't have the authority to call a family meeting…" Abel said. "Fine, go ahead," Old Mr. Ryker said before instructing the butler to make a call to the Levan Mansion. Lewis Ryker and his wife panicked upon receiving the call from Ryker Mansion. They were already upset enough with their son's scandal, but now that Old Mr. Ryker was calling for a family meeting, it could only mean that there was more trouble to come. They knew that Old Mr. Ryker would not sit idly and allow the Ryker family to bear such humiliation. Evelyn Murphy, who was seated beside the Rykers and overheard the entire conversation, could not help but smirk a little. Adam kept silent and lowered his head, but he could not help himself from laughing gleefully on the inside. Oh, Adam… Let's see how you get yourself out of this one! Even the Gods are on my side this time! I wonder whose toes you stepped on… he thought to himself
