Chapter 213 Emmanuel was surprised by Roselynn’s declaration, and his heart was warmed by her display of affection. She did not do so solely out of affection for her brother but because she believed they owed Mackenzie too much for her assistance. In Roselynn’s eyes, it was unacceptable that her brother had never given his […]
Chapter 212 “We know what Jamison did was wrong, Alessandra. He should not have allowed others to insult and slander you. Please, allow me to formally apologize on his behalf,” Hermann said while gritting his teeth. Although he did not want to say that, he felt he had no other option. We had no idea that Emmanuel and Roselynn would be able to trounce us to such an embarrassing degree. They have indeed become wiser! “Dad, y–you-” Due to her fear, Alessandra was at a loss for words. Instead of waiting around, he toasted the Lowe family with a drink. “Come, a toast. I hope you can forgive us after this.” Despite the insincerity of his apology, Emmanuel and Roselynn were at a loss for what to do in response. “Manny, Roselynn, why don’t we just forget about this?” At this moment, Alessandra found herself caving into his father’s words. It is quite unusual for my dad to communicate in such a subdued manner, and it would be impolite of us to refuse the Cadigans‘ request for forgiveness. “We can delete the post, but only on one condition,” Roselynn stated. As she was not well–educated, she decided to be blunt and direct. “Return to us all the money you took from my mom and the money you borrowed from us. Then, we’ll delete the post.” “That-“Hermann’s face turned red instantly. On the other hand, Jamison, who had not spoken, immediately roared, “Are you trying to kill us, Roselynn? We’re not that rich!” “I don’t care!” She was obstinate and continued coldly, “It sounds like you didn’t plan on paying us back from the start. Also, you have a lot of money to pay for hate comments and views. How are you out of money now? As if anyone would believe you!” “I-” After a pause, he cried out, “I didn’t spend that much on paid comments and views!” “You didn’t spend that much? Do you think we’re kids?” Roselyrin retorted coldly. “It costs at least 150 thousand to push a topic to be one of the top 10 trending topics.” “I-” Jamison was at a loss for words. He was not that old, so he knew how much it cost but did not know why or who paid for it. No matter how he tried to explain himself to her at this point, she would just think he was trying to make excuses. By the end, he was fuming with rage and on the verge of exploding.
Chapter 211 “What are you holding?” Ryder asked. He locked his gaze on the item in Abellyn’s hand. It was the golden wedding ring they had worn when they were married, which also belonged to him. He knew she had pawned her ring two years earlier to pay off her poker debts. “N–Nothing! This is my home, too. W–Why are you looking at me like that? You make it sound like I’m a thief!” Her response was used to turn the accusation around and point it at him instead. “Put it down!” The room reverberated with his roar. After hearing this, Abellyn hurriedly placed the ring down. “If I find anything missing from this house, I will hold you responsible! Watch yourself, or you’re dead!” Ryder’s eyes gleamed with murderous hatred as he spat out his threats. However, she gritted her teeth in response. He has changed! As far as I can recall, he loved, spoiled, and lavished me affectionately. Is his love for me gone because I’m not as attractive as I once was? “Just you wait, Ryder! You’ll die a horrible death!” After uttering this, she stormed out of the house. In the meantime, Abellyn headed to Chloe’s house, where her shrill cries echoed off the walls. “You can’t let this go on, Abellyn. There’s no way you can live like this!” Chloe exclaimed. Since she did not want her sister to weep all day, she stated bluntly, “Just come clean with that man! Cut it all off now and divorce him. With half of his assets, we can afford our own home.” “I–I don’t have any experience in this, though. I don’t think I can gain much,” Abellyn replied. Despite Chloe’s well–dressed appearance, she was completely illiterate. Even though she was nearly 30 years old, she acted and thought like a young girl, and she had nowhere near as much life experience as her sister. “I’ll get a woman to go to your home tomorrow while you tell our parents that Ryder is cheating on you. Bring them there to catch him in the act. He would have no choice but to obediently give you most of his assets then!” “Forget about Tommy, the illegitimate child. Let that man devote his life to raising another man’s son!” Chloe suggested. However, her suggestion shocked Abellyn. This is too cruel! Nonetheless, the more vicious the plan, the better. Anyway, Ryder has asked for it! He is the one who looks down on me because Emmanuel’s wife is more beautiful than I am. This is why our marriage failed, and he is solely to blame! “Very well, Chloe. I’ll do as you say!” she cried out. “Good. You can sleep here tonight, so go wash up.” “Okay.” Abellyn nodded and headed to the bathroom.
Chapter 210 The argument soon drew the attention of the hospital staff. “Everyone, please do not shout in the hospital,” one of them warned sternly. “Dr. Lowe, you work here. Please control yourself!” Chloe was able to drag her entire family away from the hospital with the staff’s intervention. Before she departed, she loudly exclaimed, “The Lowe family is just a horrible family. Let’s go! They’ll regret this!” “Hmph! We’ll see who ends up crying in the end.” Roselynn could not resist one last retort Soon after the Sheppards‘ departure, Ryder was pushed out of the operating theater and into a normal ward. He was not in any danger of losing his life. However, his kidney was injured. That might affect his future marriage prospects. “Abellyn is an absolute witch! How could she do this? Ryder, you have to divorce her! She needs to stay as far away from us as possible!” Roselynn kept ranting as she peeled an apple for Ryder. As for Ryder, he was silently lying in bed. Even though he was wide awake, his eyelids were partially shut so it was as if he had fallen asleep. “Oh, a harmonious family is what brings good luck! How did everything end up like this?” Alessandra cried out. She was distressed to see Ryder in this state. She also did not try to convince him to compromise, especially not with how things turned out. Instead, she turned her attention to motivating him, coaxing gently, “Ryder, I know plenty of matchmakers. If you do get divorced, I’ll find you a better woman!” Ryder sighed. “If we get a divorce, she’ll steal away half of everything. What about Tommy and the apartment?” ATMEGA128 2N2222 PC817 LM338 He inherited that home from his late father. There was no way he could accept losing half of it. He could also not allow her to have custody over Tommy. “Don’t worry, Ryder. I’ll help you prove that Abellyn started everything by cheating on you. I’ll even ask Mackenzie to hire the best divorce lawyer for you. We’ll make sure Tommy stays with you and minimize your loss to the lowest it can go.” Emmanuel was determined to help out. “That’s right! He has an amazing wife, so don’t you think about backing down. There’s no need to be afraid of those two sisters!” Roselynn was suddenly filled with confidence.
Chapter 209 Mary might hail from a rural town, but she could put on a commanding presence when the need arose. Compared to her, Alessandra seemed meek with her silent nod. “Abellyn stabbed Ryder, but that was a fight between the married couple. No one meant for that to happen. Let’s not point fingers at anyone. At this stage, I don’t think they can continue living together in peace. Why don’t we just let them get divorced? It would be good for everyone.” There was no ounce of shame when Mary said that. In fact, she even tried to make it sound like she was only doing it for the greater good. Alessandra’s priority had always been peace, so she did not say anything. Instead, she glanced at her children. Emmanuel could not resist letting out a cold laugh. It was laughter born out of anger. “Mrs. Sheppard, are you trying to say Ryder was stabbed for nothing?” he asked. “Well, he deserves it, doesn’t he? He tried to attack Abellyn. What? Do you think that Abellyn should be the one compensating him instead?” Chloe swiftly stepped forward in agitation. “Very well. Since you claim that he was abusing her, where did he hit her? Do you have proof?” Emmanuel might seem like a pushover, but he would not just let others walk all over him. Since Abellyn could deny having cheated on him just with her words, Ryder could deny the accusations of domestic abuse with a statement as well. Moreover, the Sheppard family had just confessed that Abellyn had stabbed Ryder. That meant she could not escape the consequences. Abellyn finally broke her silence and angrily shouted, “We were in the kitchen. There were no security cameras or anyone else around us. Where would find the proof? Anyway, evidence for domestic violence has always been hard to find!” “Do not even try wriggling your way out of this. If you don’t have any evidence, then he didn’t do it!” Emmanuel exclaimed firmly. His resolute retort surprised Roselynn and she secretly gave him a thumbs–up. Men really were more reliable after getting married. “Emmanuel, you…” Abellyn gritted her teeth. She knew better than
Chapter 208 At Beacon Hospital, Emmanuel was working when Frederick suddenly ran up to him. “Emmanuel, do you have a cousin called Ryder?” Frederick asked. “Yes. What is it?” Emmanuel replied. The panicked look on Frederick’s face was making Emmanuel anxious. “I knew it! I was wondering why the name sounded familiar, and I know
Chapter 207 Abellyn was currently playing poker. As she had lost over a thousand dollars throughout the night, she was in an awful mood. Thus, when she heard what Ryder said over the phone, she exploded. “You absolutely useless fool! Only idiots would suspect their wife day in, day out! Everyone says that poor men have bad tempers. Well, they’re talking about you, you moron!” The other players at the poker table giggled when they heard her shouting at her husband. Abellyn found it so humiliating that she immediately hung up. Her friends all began to criticize Ryder. They went on and on about how it was a waste for a beautiful young woman like her to marry such a useless, old man like Ryder. The more they harped on about it, the more humiliated she felt. The other women never had to deal with phone calls from their husbands who would howl at the top of their lungs. All of the phone calls they received were calls of concern. Ryder was the worst. He immediately accused her of cheating on him. How was she able to show her face at this poker group now? Due to her bad mood, she kept losing until she lost all the money she had gotten out of Ryder. She even owed the other players a total of 2,000 by the end of the night. Abellyn finally returned home around dawn, exhausted and seething in anger. When she stepped through the door, she was immediately greeted by Ryder who had been staying up all night waiting for her. “How could you stay out all night right after extorting all my money? Do you even love our son? Do you even care about this family? Is your intent to kill both of us? Is that what it will take to make you happy?” Before this, Abellyn would just suppress her anger and let him shout at her until he was done. After all, she did not contribute a single cent to the family’s OPEN finances. Alas, she was currently beside herself in anger. Every single word her poker friends said still echoed in her mind. “Why are you venting your anger at me? I was cursed with bad luck to have ended up married to you! You have no capabilities to speak of, yet your temper is far worse than anyone else! Others might think you are some amazing, tyrannical manager, but you’re just someone who abuses his wife!” “Y–You…” Ryder was still feeling the effects of the alcohol. His eyes turned red as he went through the roof. The fury blazing in his eyes terrified her so badly that she hurriedly hid in the kitchen and grabbed a kitchen knife. She would not let herself be beaten up if he finally snapped.

Chapter 206 “You’re right, Manny. I can’t just wait for the inevitable. I’ll get useful blackmail on that woman and sue her. If she insists on going down this path, I’ll divorce her!” Ryder finally decided that he could not live in denial any longer. His wife was determined to cheat on him, so he could not just pretend nothing happened. “I’ll go with you, Ryder.” Emmanuel followed Ryder to Nightfall Bar, thinking of asking for last night’s surveillance records. Unfortunately, they were nobodies. It didn’t matter what they said, the bar refused to give them access to the footage. It certainly didn’t sway them when Ryder shouted in their faces that his wife had been cheating on him at their premises. They had no choice but to leave empty–handed. “You should head home first, Manny. I’ll camp out by the bar. I will catch her red–handed tonight!” Ryder had the utmost faith in Emmanuel. This whole time, he was certain Abellyn had been lying. If Emmanuel said she had been flirting around with other men, then she was definitely guilty of that. Emmanuel was out of ideas as well, but he still advised Ryder, “You should only stay here for one night. I just caught Abellyn here last night. There’s no way she’s foolish enough to come back here. Don’t let this matter with her affect your work. It’s not worth it.” “I know, Manny.” Emmanuel only returned home when he received Ryder’s promise to be more careful this time. When he drove Mackenzie home later that evening, Emmanuel drove past Nightfall Bar. Then, he told her all about what happened with Ryder during their journey home. While she found Ryder’s actions foolish, she did not see a need in throwing rocks when someone was already down. As expected, Abellyn did not head to Nightfall Bar that evening. Therefore, Ryder ended up drowning his sorrows in drink. “It’s getting late, Ryder. Let’s go. I’ll drop you off at home,” Emmanuel said gently. Ryder had intended to go along with the suggestion, but when he spotted Mackenzie in the car, he adamantly refused to get into the car. “Go home with your wife, Manny. Leave me be! I’ll just hail a cab.” “It’s fine. She won’t be mad. You’re not in a good place financially. Every little bit counts.” “No, no, no. You should go!”
Russo’s countenance reflected weakness as he explained, “I don’t know… I’m not familiar with that person. “But he’s connected to the Ashen family. He came after me to rescue a woman named Lisa Ashen.” “Ashen family? Lisa Ashen?” Reuben’s face darkened, prompting him to issue a swift command. “You’ve got an hour. Fetch Lisa and
