    Chapter 216 Ryder’s Arrival


    “Are you stilling up with excuses, Ryder?”


    Abellyn angrily charged over to shove him. “I went out for dinner with Tommy

    and my parents. You were the only one at home. If you didn’t let her in, how


    did shee in? Do you think she would actually sneak in naked?”


    Ryder was at a loss for words due to how clumsy he was with his words.


    He curled up in misery on the inside. Once more, he was suffering because


    he was an uneducated fool.


    When did that woman enter the apartment? Why had he not realized she


    was here?


    “You b*stard! You cheater! I want a divorce! You are the one who did me


    wrong; I am innocent in this situation! The judge will definitely rule in my


    favor!”


    She continued to smack him while shouting her heart out.


    He was so preupied with her blows that he could note up with a


    retort.


    Tommy started bawling upon seeing his parents fight once more.


    Seeing that Abellyn had the advantage, George and Mary did not interfere


    with the argument.


    “Open up, Ryder! Ryder!”


    Outside the apartment, Emmanuel was banging hard against the door.


    When no one answered the door and he heard Tommy’s cries, he could not


    hold back any longer. “Ryder, open the door or I’m going to kick it down!”


    Behind him, Mackenzie realized the situation did not look good for them. She


    pulled out her phone and secretly messaged her contact. “You cane


    now.”


    She then sent the GPS location to her contact.


    Ding!


    The other person instantly replied. “Yes, Ms. Quillen!”


    Meanwhile, Emmanuel had been so preupied with what was going on


    inside the apartment that he did not notice what she was doing. When no


    one answered the door, he immediately raised his leg and kicked the metal


    door down in one swift move.


    Mackenzie could not resist shivering when she saw that.


    He was a little too violent, no?


    Upon thinking that, she wondered what she should do if he decided to kick


    down her bedroom door one day.


    She was dealing with a wild wolf, yet he was her legal husband…


    “Ryder! Tommy!” Emmanuel called out.


    Ignorant of his wife’s thoughts, he hurriedly charged into the apartment.


    When he spotted Abellyn attacking Ryder, he promptly charged over and


    shoved her away.


    “What are you doing? You just stabbed him the other day! His abdomen is


    still injured. Are you trying to kill him?” he roared.


    His angry voice echoed through the room.


    The murder usation terrified Abellyn, making her freeze.


    When she eventually came back to her senses, she hid behind her parents


    and sobbed out, “Look at them! These two men are always bullying me


    because I’m just one woman. Oh, what a hard life this has been!”


    Emmanuel was revolted by her act. Even his own wife had never acted like


    that before.


    In the meantime, Mackenzie slowly walked over to stand behind Emmanuel.


    She silently listened as the group told them what had happened.


    “You have to be my witness, Manny! I’m not that kind of man. Why would I


    ever bring a s*x worker back home?”


    Ryder’s eyes were red as helplessness was painted all over his face.


    “Of course, I believe you!”


    Emmanuel had spoken in a reassuring manner,


    “Ha! Of course, you would! You’re cousins. Thewyers might not believe you.


    The judge might not either. Either way, I saw the whole thing with my own


    eyes. There’s no way you can escape being held ountable, Ryder!”


    Abellyn was very proud of herself. Chloe was so smart! With her help, these


    two uneducated men had no choice but to be taken for fools.


    To her surprise, just as Emmanuel was about to burst out shouting, Mackenzie


    stopped him by cing her hand gently on his arm.


    At that, he paused and turned to look at her.


    Her gaze seemed to convey a message telling him to leave this to her since


    he was not good with words.


    Thus, he backed down.


    “Ms. Sheppard, you sound like you know thew well. You know that family


    members cannot testify for each other, right?”


    She intentionally added praise before her question.


    “Of course! It’s basic knowledge.”


    Abellyn held her head up high as she snorted, with pride shimmering in her


    eyes.


    However, Mackenzie immediately retorted, “Do your parents not count as


    your family? You are closer than mere cousins, right? Can they prove that


    Ryder cheated on you? Did they see what happened themselves? Do they


    have any proof?”
