Love at the Wrong Table
Chapter 203
Mackenzie scolded him before going back to her room to sleep.
Her words didnât hurt Emmanuel at all. After all, although he wouldnât admit
he was a fool, Mackenzie was indeed smarter than him..
In the meantime, after Abellyn had escaped from Nightfall Bar, she quickly
went to Chloeâs house.
âHow did it go? Did Zane fall head over heels for you?â Chloe asked hastily.
After she got Abellyn and Zane to meet up, she returned home and waited
for Abellynâs good news. Initially, she thought Abellyn would come back
tomorrow morning. Yet, she had returned so early, and her expression
seemed off.
As expected, Abellyn snapped, âHe did like me, but we didnât sleep together.
Emmanuel caught us!â Initially, Zane would give her money after she had sex
with him. Alas, her plan was all ruined now! It was Emmanuelâs fault that she had become poor and couldnât play poker!
âWhat? Why was he there? Did he know about our plan?â Chloe was surprised.
She had gotten Zaneâs contact number from the Sheppard familyâs
connections. Thus, there was no way Emmanuel would have known about it.
âHow should I know? What do I do now, Chloe? He will definitely tell Ryder
about this!â Abellyn didnât know what to do.
Chloe was out of ideas too. After some time, she quickly said, âIt doesnât
matter what Emmanuel tells Ryder, all you have to do is deny it. Donât ever
admit to it no matter what. Do you understand?â
Abellyn nodded, but she was still clueless.
âI know you want to get a divorce with Ryder, but the fact is that the person
who cheated would be at a disadvantage in the eyes of the law, especially
when it comes to dividing up their assets and gaining the childâs custody. If
you admit to what happened, you wonât get anything once Ryder has filed for
a divorce!â
Abellyn made up her mind to deny it after hearing Chloeâs words. After all, it
would be a huge loss for her if she did!
âAlright. Hurry and go home. Donât let Ryder gain any evidence of you
cheating on him.â
âOkay. Iâll get home right away!â As she walked to the gate, she turned back
and asked, âWhat about Zane and me?â
âLetâs set this aside for now. Iâll arrange another meeting for you two once
everything is over.â
âOkay, Chloe. Iâll listen to you.â Abellyn nodded and quickly went back home.
At this moment, Ryder had already put Tommy to sleep. Thus, not even
Emmanuel was able to contact him.
Today was a restless night.
The next day, Emmanuel called Ryder and wanted to have a meal with him.
He told Ryder to be prepared since their topic would be about Abellyn.
âWhat are you talking about, Manny? Did she betray me?â Although Ryder
was an honest man, he was not stupid. When he heard Emmanuelâs words,
he immediately knew what was going on.
âThatâs right, Ryder. I saw her go into a room with another man yesterday!â
âWhat?!â In that split second, Ryder was enraged. Initially, he was going to
work with his bike. However, he wasnât in the mood now as he hastily rushed
home.
âCalm down, Ryder! Letâs think of a plan before taking⦠Hello? Ryder?!â
Emmanuel was going to comfort Ryder, but the latter had already hung up
the phone.
âGet out of here, Abellyn! Get out right this instant!â
Since Tommy had already gone to school, Ryder had no qualms about
venting his anger, and his expression looked terrifying.
In the meantime, Abellyn was hiding behind the door. She was afraid when she saw the grim expression on Ryderâs face. Still, she soon took a deep
breath and acted like she had just woken up. âAre you crazy, Ryder? Why are
you shouting in the house when you are supposed to be at work?â
âYou b*tch! Did you go to the bar and cheat on me with another man?â
Ryder was a traditional man. He loathed those who were not loyal to their
marriage and family. Thus, he grabbed Abellynâs curly hair in a fit of fury.
