    “Mom, it’s because he has betrayed me and fallen for his cousin’s wife! He

    I couldn’t stand it, so I had to confront him! He’s the one who betrayed me


    first. I did nothing wrong! It serves him right!” Abellyn’s confidence grew as


    she spoke, making it sound like it was the truth.


    Ryder was infuriated by her. He couldn’t believe she had the audacity to


    make up such nonsense. Her actions had consequences not only for her own


    family but also for Emmanuel’s family.


    However, he was not good with words and didn’t know how to exin himself


    at that moment.


    Emmanuel, on the other hand, chuckled and said, “What makes you think


    Ryder likes my wife?”


    Abellyn was the kind of person who couldn’t think rationally, and she blurted


    out whatever came to her mind when she got worked up. She immediately


    eximed, “He talks about your wife all the time, saying that she’s beautiful


    and has a great figure! He doesn’t even bother cooking when he talks about


    her. Isn’t it because he likes your wife? If that’s the case, he should just be with


    your wife!”


    “Shut up!” Emmanuel couldn’t bear it anymore and shouted angrily. He


    refused to allow anyone to defame his wife.


    At that moment, Mackenzie happened to arrive at the entrance.


    When everyone saw her Maserati, they were all stunned and momentarily


    frozen in awe.


    Mackenzie got out of the car and didn’t hear what they were arguing about


    just now. However, she noticed that everyone’s gaze was on her, which felt a


    bit strange to her.


    David stared at Mackenzie intently, practically drooling. Is this really


    Emmanuel’s wife? Da*n! No wonder Ryder would have a change of heart.


    Who wouldn’t be tempted by a gorgeous wealthy woman like her? She has


    “Can you believe it? Shees to my house early in the morning. Is she so


    eager for a secret affair? And you dare to im there’s nothing going on


    between the two of you?” Abellyn pointed at Mackenzie and Ryder,


    maliciously trying to tarnish their reputation. She thought she was making


    perfect sense.


    On the other hand, Mackenzie remainedpletelyposed. She was too


    said, “I came to pick you up. Can we go home now?”


    In an instant, everyone in the Sheppard family looked at Abellyn.


    Regardless of the truth, everyone felt that she was being unreasonable at


    that moment.


    Even Chloe covered her forehead, thinking that Abellyn was aplete id*ot


    with no intelligence whatsoever.


    We are all here to support you, so you should behave properly. But now you’re


    making a fuss and being unreasonable. Mom and Dad won’t back you up if


    you keep acting like this!


    Emmanuel didn’t want to leave yet, fearing that if he went back, Ryder would


    be at a disadvantage.


    “Emmanuel, you and your wife should go back. I can handle my own family


    matters.” Ryder might not be good with words, but he knew how to handle


    things. He didn’t want Emmanuel and his wife to get involved in his family’s


    mess.


    “Okay then. It’s gettingte. Mackenzie and I will take Tommy to school first.” It


    was hard for an outsider to meddle in family affairs, and Emmanuel knew


    that Ryder should handle this on his own.


    However, he intentionally raised his voice and said, “Ryder, if you need help,


    just let me know. Remember. The Lowe family also has its own people, and


    we’re no pushover!”


    As these wordsnded, a faint tremor ran through the male members of the


    Sheppard family, and they could no longer maintain their arrogance.


    Tommy, surprisingly, demonstrated a stronger resilience than expected.


    He knew something had happened to his parents, but he had managed to


    hold back his tears.


    However, once he got in the car, he couldn’t help but cry silently in the back


    seat.


    “Stop the car.” Mackenzie, who was originally sitting in the passenger seat,


    heard Tommy crying and took the initiative to ask Emmanuel to stop the car,


    and then she moved to the back seat.


    “Don’t cry, Tommy. I’m here with you.” Mackenzie gently caressed Tommy’s


    head.


    Even though she didn’t have a distaste for young boys, it was her first time


    Quillen family were to witness it, they would surely be astonished.


    With theforting words of a prettydy, Tommy quickly dried his tears


    and uttered a soft sound in response.
