Chapter 207


    Abellyn was currently ying poker. As she had lost over a thousand dors


    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 yers 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 used 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 yers 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.


    s, 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 zing 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.


    “Fine! I’ll leave you be! Give me 300! I need to top up the fuel and go to work.”


    He was still holding onto onest shred of rationality, so he recalled


    Emmanuel’s reminder that his work was more important than this woman.


    He had to go all out in work for Tommy and his sake!


    Otherwise, they would be scorned by Abellyn for their whole lives.


    To his surprise, she spat in response, “I don’t have any money on me. I was


    doing quite wellst night, but then you ruined my luck by humiliating me


    and using me of cheating on you! I lost everything, and I even owe them


    2,000 now! You’re the one who should be giving me more money!”


    “What?” he roared.


    Her response was the straw that broke the camel’s back.


    He went berserk.


    He had worked hard every single day, but the moment he was paid for the


    month, she lost everything in one night!


    Were they meant to feast on air for the remaining few weeks until he got paid


    again?


    What about Tommy’s fees? They needed to pay for after–school care, his


    school uniform, his stationery, and everything else! What were they meant to


    do now that they were t broke?


    Question after question whirled through his mind until he finally thought


    about how she had been cheating on him. He was no longer able to hold


    himself back and immediately charged at her like a crazed dog.


    “I will kill you, Abellyn! I will break your legs, you darned woman!”


    Her face went stark white with fear. She immediately squeezed her eyes shut


    and screamed, “Stay away! I’ll stab you if youe near me!”


    She was so terrified that she wildly swung the knife through the air regardless


    of what was actually happening.


    Suddenly, she felt a burst of warmth on her face. When she opened her eyes,


    she found herself covered in blood.


    “Aaah!” she shrieked.


    Her mind instantly went nk. She had actually stabbed Ryder with the knife.
