Chapter 149
Regretfully, Abellyn had identally got pregnant at that time. That was the
only reason she had set her sights on Ryder, who was an honest man, by
pretending to be intoxicated and offering herself to him.
Fortunately, her son was born at full term and resembled her, so the man had
never once suspected the truth in the past six years.
However, a leopard never changed its spots. As she was ustomed to
beingzy, it was practically impossible for her to work for a living anymore.
Yet, it was no longer a piece of cake for her to obtain fast money as she did in
the past
At her silence, Chloe continued softly, “You’re not even thirty years old yet
Abellyn. Try your best to lose weight. Even if you get a divorce, I can introduce
a few rich bachelors to you. So, can you threaten that man a bit when you go
home? All my hopes are pinned on Robby now I only want him to make
something of himself and have someone backing him up if he were to
seed, he could also support you, no?”
Abellyn had not had much education and had been duped by her sister ever
since she was young. After having been brainwashed then, she gritted her
eeth and vowed, “Don’t worry, Chloe. If he dares refuse, I’ll ask for a divorce!
He won’t bear to part with me!”
‘Yes, this is more like it! You’re still very young, so you have nothing to fear in
:he event of a divorce, Abellyn!”
Only concerned about her own interests, Chloe could not care less about the
possibility of her sister’s marriage crumbling to the ground. She naturally
seconded and incited Abellyn fervently.
When night fell, Emmanuel again received a call from Ryder and made his
way out of the residential area.
Seeing that his cousin had again delivered a box of fresh fruits over, he felt a
tad embarrassed. “Mackenzie and I have enough fruits, Ryder. You don’t need
to always send fruits to us.”
Ryder chuckled airily and replied, “It’s okay, Manny. This is my employee
benefit anyway. Besides, Ms. Quillen and you had someone send a big toy
helicopter over for Tommy. I merely want to express my gratitude.”
Emmanuel sighed imperceptibly.
He was very well–acquainted with both Mackenzie’s and Ryder’s
personalities.
The former always kept her word, and it would seem that she had really had
someone send a huge gift over to Tommy that day. Meanwhile, thetter
was an upright person, and he would likely feel uneasy if he could not repay
Mackenzie by giving her something in return.
That being the case, Emmanuel had no choice but to ept the fruits.
“Uh… Manny…”
Just as Emmanuel spun on his heel to leave, Ryder appeared to have
something to say yet was hesitant to voice it.
“What’s wrong, Ryder?”
ncing back over his shoulder and noticing the expression on his cousin’s
face, Emmanuel immediately knew that something was bothering the man.
After all, Ryder was a candid person who could never hide his thoughts.
“Oh well, it’s nothing. Go home. Also, thank Ms. Quillen on my behalf once
again!”
Verily, Ryder envied Emmanuel to the core. His wife is far better than mine!
“Just say it if something is the matter. Don’t keep it to yourself! Did Abellyn
pick on you again?”
The sight of his cousin’s frustrated look had anguish flood Emmanuel. Being

all too familiar with Ryder’s family, he could tell the reason right off the bat.
“Uh… Well, I don’t know how to say this.’
Ryder was still wavering, but under Emmanuel’s incessant interrogation, he
ultimatelyid his troubles on the table.
“Abellyn has gone overboard! How could she ask such a thing of you?”
After Emmanuel listened to the entire matter, his face had gone as ck as
thunder.
Although it’s said that it’s abhorrent to advise someone to get a divorce,
Abellyn has never done a good thing in the nearly seven years she’s been
married to Ryder. Now, she has grown even worse, demanding that Ryder
take her sister and nephew in! I reckon she must be doing this for some
ulterior motive. Otherwise, no one would do such a thing unless she was not
right in the head!
