Love at the Wrong Table
Chapter 319
After Abellyn stepped out of the police station, she rushed to Chloeâs house.
âAunt Abellyn, youâre back!â Robby exalted with twinkling eyes upon seeing his
aunt.
He loved having Abellyn over, and it would be even better if she stayed
overnight.
âHey, Robby. Whereâs your mom?â Abellyn ruffled the little guyâs head with a
forceful smile and illâconcealed anxiety.
âCome in and have a seat,â said Robby enthusiastically as he escorted
Abellyn in. âMommyâs gone grocery shopping. Iâll make you something to eat
first.â
Abellyn didnât know what was going on with Robby, and she thought her
sisterâs child was absolutely sensible. On the other hand, Tommy seemed
lacking. She blamed Ryder for his incompetence in raising their child.
Sometime later, Chloe returned from her grocery run, and Abellyn jogged to
her and held her sisterâs arm. âChloe, youâre finally back!â
âWhatâs up? You went to the police station, didnât you? How did the
investigation go?â
Chloe was just as nervous. If the police found out that Zane had
premeditated murder, then Abellynâs dream of marrying a rich man and
getting a house would be shattered.
â⦠I stated as you told me. The police still suspect a possible murder. What
should we do?â
Abellyn couldnât stop panicking.
Chloe, on the other hand, was much more composed. âWell, thereâs no
evidence, and Ryder canât wake up either. This will all be over once Ryderâs
dead, and if you and Tommy keep your lips sealed.â
âYouâre right, sis. I trust you!â Abellyn hugged her sister like a child.
âThe problem now is Ryderâs meddlesome cousin,â Chloe reminded her. âIf he
gets involved, things could get complicated.â
That was also Abellynâs concern. âThat man got lucky and bagged himself a
good wife,â she said through gnashed teeth. âWithout his wife, heâs only as
competent as Ryder!â
âWell, that guy has luck!â Chloe thought about it and suggested, âBy the way,
you should come up with a reason to bawl and whine, saying Ryder only got
into an accident because he wanted to hurt you! After that, think of a way to
spread the word to that guy!â
They would play the victim and sling the accusations!
Chloe evidently wanted to establish a preconceived notion in Emmanuelâs
mind.
Abellyn, however, panicked. âWhat should I do, Chloe? Do I really have to go to
that man? Our relationship is terrible!â
âYouâre his sisterâinâlaw, regardless. Have you forgotten that youâre related to
him?â
Though Chloeâs husband passed away young, she had seen an extensive
collection of melodramatic TV series. Hence, she knew all too well how to
improve the relationship between a sister and a brotherâinâlaw.
Any simple plan she pulled out of the bag would be able to help her sister
dominate Emmanuel.
As long as he kept his mouth shut, no one would pay attention to a useless
man like Ryder.
Robby felt uncomfortable as he gazed at his motherâs expression, wondering
what his mother wanted his aunt to do this time. Sheâs not trying to get Aunt
Abellyn to do something foolish for someone elseâs benefit again, is she?
When Emmanuel arrived at the hospital, he heard someone crying inside
Ryderâs ward.
It sounded like Abellyn.
â
He was taken aback when he heard a conversation going on inside the ward.
âAlessandra, Iâve always thought of you as my mother. You really have to
stand up for me this time!â
Inside, Abellyn appeared distressed and helpless in front of Alessandra.
âI really havenât done anything with Zane, but Ryder suddenly appeared and
started yelling and hitting me! Look at all my bruises!â
Emmanuel happened to open the door slightly only to find Abellyn, with
barely any humiliation, taking her dress right off in the ward and revealing her
red bra.
It was evident that she had recently lost weight, and her figure had improved
significantly. Her slim waist and ample hips were clearly visible.
âTâThis is Ryderâs doing?â
