Chapter 148


    “Anyway, this matter is decided. If you think five hundred is not enough for


    Robby’s living expenses, I’ll ask Chloe to give you eight hundred every month.


    But if you don’t allow Robby toe to the city to study, we’re done. I will get


    a divorce!” Abellyn dered arrogantly and unreasonably.


    Then, she went back to her room to sleep.


    Ryder was afraid of quarreling in the room and waking up Tommy, who had.


    just fallen asleep, so he slumped against the couch in the living room. Even


    after a long time, he was still unable to calm his anger.


    When Abellyn got up the next morning, Ryder had already taken Tommy to


    school. She got up and left the house.


    Chloe and Robby hadn’t left Yeringham and were instead staying in a rented


    house.


    A year ago, Chloe’s husband passed away due to an ident, leaving her


    over three hundred thousand aspensation. Since his parents had


    already passed away, the money was all left for Chloe.


    She could have used the money to buy a house in Yeringham, but she

    merely rented a house without letting Ryder know because her ie was


    unstable.


    Furthermore, she often went off to y poker with Abellyn, thinking that she


    could buy a house in full payment if she managed to win more money.


    However, luck was often not on her side. Coupled with her extravagant


    spending, the money was almost gone now.


    Robby was previously studying in Chloe’s hometown and was taken care of


    by Mary, but Chloe hadn’t given her mother any caretaker fees for the past


    two months. As a result, Mary now refused to take care of the child for free


    and gave the excuse that she was already old. In the end, Mary sent Robby


    back to Chloe yesterday.


    Left with no choice, Chloe decided to put the pressure on Ryder.


    When Chloe saw Abellyn, she immediately held her sister’s hand and asked


    anxiously, “How is it, Abellyn? Did that honest guy agree?”


    Abellyn let out a long sigh and looked a bit angry. “Chloe, he didn’t seem very


    willing. I told him you will give him eight hundred every month for living


    expenses, but he still doesn’t want to take care of Robby!”


    As they spoke, Robby secretly eavesdropped from inside the house.


    “What? Not even eight hundred?” Angry, Chloe spoke without thinking. “That


    guy is already taking care of a child that isn’t his. What’s the big deal if he


    takes care of another one? It’s not like anyone pays him to look after that


    child!”


    Before she could finish, Abellyn hurriedly covered her mouth and nced


    inside the house.


    Robby quickly pretended to y with his toys happily as if he hadn’t heard


    anything.


    “Don’t bber about it, Chloe! If that honest guy finds out, I’ll be in trouble!”


    Abellyn whispered anxiously.


    “Hmmph, that man is truly foolish! Does he really think he could have married


    a beautiful woman like you with his conditions?” Chloeined.


    Then, she said directly, “Forget it. Let him be a little happier. If he still doesn’t


    want to, you and I can sleep with him together and have Robby acknowledge


    him as his godfather!”


    Even Abellyn, who was not a virtuous woman herself, was shocked by the


    suggestion.


    “Are you mad, Chloe? Both of us sleep with that kind of man? Who is he to


    deserve that? Even if we have to sleep with someone, that someone should


    be a wealthy man like Shawn. At least we may be able to gain some money


    from it!”


    Abellyn wasn’t a chaste woman, but she thought a poor man like Ryder


    would be having it a little too easy if they slept with him.


    Every time she slept with him, she felt as if she was experiencing sleep


    paralysis. If Chloe slept with him too, she couldn’t even imagine the scene.


    “If we had a choice, of course I would, Abellyn! But look at our age now and


    our figures! Why would wealthy men like Shawn fall for us? Do you think we


    still look like we did ten years ago?”


    Chloe’s words served to remind Abellyn of a bitter memory.


    Back when Abellyn found it too tiring to work in a factory, she started working


    at a bathhouse after Chloe encouraged her to.


    At that time, many men would make appointments with her because of her


    attractive looks and figure. One could even say her business was thriving.
