Love at the Wrong Table
Chapter
âOh, so youâve struck it rich? No wonder thereâs such a pretty lady willing to
have dinner with you!â Chloe deliberately looked at Tia.
Abellyn was also curious and asked loudly, âTia, what exactly do you see in
Ryder? Tell me, did you two get involved before our divorce?â
âI⦠I didnât. Donât make baseless accusations!â Tia quickly responded, her
anger flaring.

Abellyn was about to continue her tirade when Chloe quickly held her back
and said to Ryder, âYouâve been married to my sister for seven years, yet
youâve never brought her to a place like this for dinner. Now that youâve met a
new woman, you bring her here to spend money. Do you think itâs
appropriate?â
Ryder was slow with words, and because Chloe had a point, he didnât know
how to respond for a moment.
âHow about this? Since weâve run into each other today, whether you invite
one person or two, itâs still an invitation. My sister has been with you as a wife
for many years. Itâs not outrageous for you to treat her to a meal, right?â
Chloe was skilled with her words, and Ryder couldnât quite match her.
âWhatâs wrong? Youâre not acting rich in front of your new love interest and
acting poor in front of your ex-wife, are you?â Chloe tried to provoke him
further.
Ryder turned to look at Marianne.
Men find it most difficult to maintain their dignity in front of the woman they
like and their future mother-in-law, especially since he knew that Marianne
was assessing his financial capability to decide whether her daughter should
be with him.

âFine! Letâs go together then!â Ryder impulsively agreed.
Either way, Emmanuel told him the card Mackenzie gave could cover the bill.
It didnât matter if there was one person or ten-it was all the same.
Seeing him agree, Abellyn became surprisingly furious.
Back when they were together, he never tried to show off his wealth, always
appearing timid. But now, he seemed quite adept at it.
Chloe, however, held her back and whispered in her ear, âLet him pretend if
he wants to. We can save money!â
Chloeâs reminder woke her up.
Originally, Abellyn had brought her sister and nephew here this night.
because she suddenly received a million from Blake. She wanted to enjoy
herself and flaunt herself on social media.
Although she had a million dollars, she didnât want to spend it all at once in
revenge; she intended to save some of it. But with Ryder around, she realized
it was an opportunity.
Regardless, in a little while, she would bankrupt him. If he couldnât pay, she
would humiliate him thoroughly and crush his dignity.
âLetâs go then!â Abellyn sashayed in, leading the way.
Robby followed his mother while holding her hand and discreetly glanced at
Tia.
He didnât find this woman more attractive than his aunt. Her butt wasnât big
enough. Ryder, this ugly man, really had no taste!
âWell⦠letâs go in too!â Ryder finally held Tommyâs hand and invited Tia and her
mother.
Marianne looked at the man differently while also worrying about whether he
actually had any money.
âMadam, how many in your party? Would you like a private room?â
Abellyn was the first to arrive at the entrance, where two handsome men and
two beautiful women greeted them with professional smiles.
