A Whirlwind Marriage with the Beautiful CEO novel Chapter 178

Chapter 178 

“Chloe! Help me! Help!” 

Abellyn ran straight to Chloe’s place after escaping from her house. 

She stumbled the whole way there, covered in bloodstains and bruises. 

“Oh, my! What happened to you, Abellyn? How did you end up like this?” 

Chloe was shocked by the sight of her sister and quickly strode over to 

Abellyn. 

“How did I end up like this? That b*stard Ryder tried to kill me! He wanted to 

murder his wife!” 

“What? He actually dared to do that?” 

Chloe was frightened by her words. 

“What did you mean by that? Just look at me! Look at what he’s done to me!” 

Abellyn didn’t try to be discreet even though Robby was around. She lifted her 

dress and showed Chloe the bruises caused by Ryder. 

Both her thighs, butt, and waist were covered in bruises. There were even 

parts of her that had big, red hand prints on them. 

Besides, Abellyn didn’t use to have a decent career, so she was accustomed 

to these things. 

“That b*stard, Ryder! He looked like a nice and honest man before, but he 

finally showed his true colors now. This is unacceptable. How can he do this 

to you?” 

Chloe’s heart ached for Abellyn. She was her sister after all, and she had 

been caring for Abellyn since she was young. 

“Take off your clothes, Abellyn. I’ll apply some ointment for you. I’ll make sure 

to bring your cousins there and settle scores with him!” Chloe complained in 

an angry tone. 

Abellyn obediently took off her coat and dress, wearing only her underwear 

as she stood in the middle of the living room. 

However, the garments she was wearing couldn’t hide her voluptuous figure 

at all. 

“All right, Abellyn. This might hurt a lot.” 

Chloe soon found some ointment and applied it to her sister. 

She continued to complain that Ryder was inhumane as she did so. 

Robby was filled with rage as he listened to the adults‘ conversation. How 

could Uncle Ryder bully Aunt Abellyn? How horrible of him! I have to get 

revenge for her when I have the chance. 

Meanwhile, Ryder had actually lost his wife while he was chasing after her. 

He wanted to teach her a lesson, but Ryder eventually stopped chasing after 

her after calming down a little and thinking of his poor son. 

He didn’t want to scare his child any further, and to prevent his wound from 

getting an infection, Ryder went to a clinic nearby and had the doctor clean it 

up for him. Once that was done, he slowly limped his way home. 

He had been worried about Tommy being at home alone. Fortunately, he saw 

Emmanuel there when he reached home, who had made some food for the 

boy and coaxed him to sleep. 

“What on earth happened, Ryder? What made you and Abellyn fight in front 

of the kid? To the point of sustaining such an injury too!” 

Emmanuel quickly walked over and helped Ryder sit down. 

To his knowledge, Ryder had never beaten a woman in the thirty years he 

had been alive, much less his wife. Something must have instigated this. 

“I don’t know what happened either!” 

Ryder couldn’t help but become agitated again. “That woman was crazy! I 

was talking to you on the phone when I told her to make us something to eat. 

Then, she went into the kitchen and came out with a knife trying to stab me! If 

I hadn’t reacted quickly enough, I would have died right then and there!” 

He had made it sound simple, but Emmanuel had goosebumps all over his 

body when he heard that. 

After all, they weren’t talking about an enemy on the battlefield, whom Ryder 

could avoid just by leaving the area. This was his wife. He wouldn’t be able to 

sleep peacefully after how things had turned out. 

“I should have told you about this a long time ago, Ryder. You’ve spoiled your 

wife too much. Things must be difficult now that you’re trying to make her 

take responsibility for the household now.” 

Emmanuel knew his mother and sister had talked to Ryder about it 

previously, but the latter never listened. It was also why he had never brought 

it up. 

This was a married couple’s private matter, after all. It wasn’t something an 

outsider like him had a say in. They would have had to bear the responsibility 

if problems arose in their marriage. 

However, Emmanuel had to say something now that things had come to this. 

“Marriage isn’t like dating. You have to spend the rest of your life with each 

other. A family can never function with only one person putting in the effort. 

You’d only feel exhausted, while she wouldn’t have a sense of belonging. You 

won’t have a happy life if this continues.” 

Ryder finally took his advice seriously. 

“That’s right… I brought this upon myself. I can’t blame anyone else for this. I 

really envy your relationship with Ms. Quillen. She’s in charge of earning 

money, while you manage the household. A married couple can only live in 

harmony if you work together.” 

Pfft! 

Emmanuel was exasperated by his words. Why does Ryder make it sound like 

I’m living off of her? I and earn too! 

Nonetheless, it wasn’t the time to be arguing about something like this. “Since 

It’s come down to this, what are you planning to do?” he asked. 

“What else can I do? Of course I have to divorce her!” 

Ryder could fortunately still think rationally. That woman stabbed me and told 

me never to fall asleep or she’ll kill me! 

Even though he wasn’t quite ready to let go of her, there wasn’t anything else 

he could do besides getting divorced. 

“You’d better think it through, Ryder. It’s best if you divorce her. Tommy can’t
