Chapter 390


    “Mom, I know I was wrong! I really know I was wrong. Can you talk to Ryder


    and let me go back home? I promise to serve him well and take care of our


    family!” Abellyn pleaded desperately.


    As udette had hired awyer, things had been swiftly resolved in their


    divorce dispute. On the other hand, Abellyn had basically received nothing


    and was even kicked out of the house. Moreover, Zane had disappeared,


    leaving her with no solution. Now, even surviving became a problem, and she


    had no choice but to eat her words and go back.


    Being soft–hearted, Alessandra saw Abellyn’s tears and felt that she didn’t


    want to see their family fall apart. She sighed and said, “I’ll talk to Ryder. If he’s


    willing to listen to me, I’ll speak up for you.”


    “Really? Thank you, Mom! Thank you!” Abellyn immediately became ecstatic.


    Suddenly, a sarcastic voice sounded from behind.


    “Mom, don’t sympathize with a woman like her. If you do, you’ll harm Ryder!” A


    cold and stern voice spoke up–it was Mackenzie.


    “Mackenzie, what are you doing here? Come in quickly!” Alessandra was very


    enthusiastic and fond of Mackenzie. Hér attitude waspletely different


    from her attitude toward Abellyn just now.


    However, Abellyn was not a generous nor graceful person and felt displeased


    seeing the stark contrast in treatment. She pouted and made faces behind


    Alessandra’s back, even silently cursing Mackenzie in her mind.


    Mackenzie sensed themotion behind her and suddenly turned her head.


    Her powerful and icy aura frightened Abellyn into closing her mouth. Only


    after Mackenzie and Alessandra entered the house did Abellyn angrily leave


    the Lowe Residence with a resentful look in her eyes.


    “Darn it, Mackenzie. You’re always acting all high and mighty! One day, I will


    definitely reduce you to ashes!”


    Yes, every time she saw Mackenzie’s gaze, she felt that the other woman


    that Mackenzie treated her as an old woman, which severely damaged her


    self–esteem.


    However, she also knew that she and Mackenzie were worlds apart in terms


    of social status, so she could only grit her teeth and say a few venomous


    words without being able to do anything.


    “Mackenzie, why did youe so early? Why didn’t you tell me in advance?”


    Alessandra asked, forgetting about Abellyn. In her heart, there was nothing


    more important than her daughter–inw, especially at this critical moment.


    “Mom, Emmanuel has been taken to the police station!” Mackenzie stated


    directly.


    “W–What did you say?”


    Alessandra trembled all over as if her strength had been instantly drained.


    After a while, she managed to steady herself and held Mackenzie’s hand,


    asking, “What did he do exactly?”

    “He killed someone in self–defense!”


    “Uh-”

    Alessandra, whose health was not the best, was almost on the verge of


    fainting from the shock.


    My honest and upright son! How could he possibly kill someone? No! It can’t


    be true!


    Mackenzie quickly supported her and reassured her, “Mom, don’t worry. I’ll find


    a way to bail him out. He’ll be fine.”


    “Okay! I believe in you!”


    Alessandra gently patted Mackenzie’s back. Luckily, her daughter–inw was


    here; otherwise, if someone else had told her this news, she might not have


    been able to handle it.


    In the next moment, Mackenzie’s phone rang.


    “What? Emmanuel was taken away this morning?” Hearing Lexi’s report on the


    other end of the call, Mackenzie was quite surprised. “Who was it?”


    “Ms. Quillen, I couldn’t find out, but I know this is rted to Eve!”


    “Eve?”
