Chapter 203
Mackenzie scolded him before going back to her room to sleep.
Her words didn’t hurt Emmanuel at all. After all, although he wouldn’t admit
he was a fool, Mackenzie was indeed smarter than him..
In the meantime, after Abellyn had escaped from Nightfall Bar, she quickly
went to Chloe’s house.
“How did it go? Did Zane fall head over heels for you?” Chloe asked hastily.
After she got Abellyn and Zane to meet up, she returned home and waited
for Abellyn’s good news. Initially, she thought Abellyn would come back
tomorrow morning. Yet, she had returned so early, and her expression
seemed off.
As expected, Abellyn snapped, “He did like me, but we didn’t sleep together.
Emmanuel caught us!” Initially, Zane would give her money after she had sex
with him. Alas, her plan was all ruined now! It was Emmanuel’s fault that she had become poor and couldn’t play poker!
“What? Why was he there? Did he know about our plan?” Chloe was surprised.
She had gotten Zane’s contact number from the Sheppard family’s
connections. Thus, there was no way Emmanuel would have known about it.
“How should I know? What do I do now, Chloe? He will definitely tell Ryder
about this!” Abellyn didn’t know what to do.
Chloe was out of ideas too. After some time, she quickly said, “It doesn’t
matter what Emmanuel tells Ryder, all you have to do is deny it. Don’t ever
admit to it no matter what. Do you understand?”
Abellyn nodded, but she was still clueless.
“I know you want to get a divorce with Ryder, but the fact is that the person
who cheated would be at a disadvantage in the eyes of the law, especially
when it comes to dividing up their assets and gaining the child’s custody. If
you admit to what happened, you won’t get anything once Ryder has filed for
a divorce!”
Abellyn made up her mind to deny it after hearing Chloe’s words. After all, it
would be a huge loss for her if she did!
“Alright. Hurry and go home. Don’t let Ryder gain any evidence of you
cheating on him.”
“Okay. I’ll get home right away!” As she walked to the gate, she turned back
and asked, “What about Zane and me?”
“Let’s set this aside for now. I’ll arrange another meeting for you two once
everything is over.”
“Okay, Chloe. I’ll listen to you.” Abellyn nodded and quickly went back home.
At this moment, Ryder had already put Tommy to sleep. Thus, not even
Emmanuel was able to contact him.
Today was a restless night.
The next day, Emmanuel called Ryder and wanted to have a meal with him.
He told Ryder to be prepared since their topic would be about Abellyn.
“What are you talking about, Manny? Did she betray me?” Although Ryder
was an honest man, he was not stupid. When he heard Emmanuel’s words,
he immediately knew what was going on.
“That’s right, Ryder. I saw her go into a room with another man yesterday!”
“What?!” In that split second, Ryder was enraged. Initially, he was going to
work with his bike. However, he wasn’t in the mood now as he hastily rushed
home.
“Calm down, Ryder! Let’s think of a plan before taking... Hello? Ryder?!”
Emmanuel was going to comfort Ryder, but the latter had already hung up
the phone.
“Get out of here, Abellyn! Get out right this instant!”
Since Tommy had already gone to school, Ryder had no qualms about
venting his anger, and his expression looked terrifying.
In the meantime, Abellyn was hiding behind the door. She was afraid when she saw the grim expression on Ryder’s face. Still,
she soon took a deep
breath and acted like she had just woken up. “Are you crazy, Ryder? Why are
you shouting in the house when you are supposed to be at work?”
“You b*tch! Did you go to the bar and cheat on me with another man?”
Ryder was a traditional man. He loathed those who were not loyal to their
marriage and family. Thus, he grabbed Abellyn’s curly hair in a fit of fury.
