A Whirlwind Marriage with the Beautiful CEO novel Chapter 77

Chapter 77 

Seeing everyone gather around Mackenzie while ignoring him, Emmanuel 

could not help but let out a bitter smile. 

As he entered the room and set down the things he was carrying, 

someone suddenly called out to him from behind, “Manny!” 

“Yes, Ryder?” Although Emmanuel was considered naïve in Mackenzie’s 

eyes, he was intelligent and perceptive enough to sense that his cousin 

seemed troubled from the frown on his face. 

“Manny, do you have any extra money to spare?” Ryder, being 

straightforward as always, did not beat around the bush. 

“What’s wrong? Are you experiencing financial difficulty?” Despite 

Emmanuel’s own financial difficulties, primarily owed to Mackenzie, he was 

willing to assist his cousin if asked for a loan. 

With a long-standing good relationship since childhood, Emmanuel 

understood that his cousin would not make such a request unless he was 

in dire need of financial assistance. 

“It’s Abellyn. She got involved in a poker game and ended up 

accumulating a debt of eighty thousand!” Ryder’s voice was filled with 

despair. He was almost on the verge of tears. 

Earlier on, he had tried to borrow money from Jack but to no avail. He had 

no choice but to seek Emmanuel’s help. 

“That’s a huge sum! Who did she play poker with?” Emmanuel was taken 

aback, realizing that he might not be able to assist with that amount. 

“She played with some wealthy second-generation entrepreneurs. It’s all 

my fault. I should have done more to prevent her from getting caught up 

in that mess.” Ryder sighed, blaming himself with deep remorse. 

Emmanuel was aware of Ryder’s family’s financial situation. Despite 

having a similar monthly income to his own and being an 

average-looking man, he had managed to marry a stunning woman. 

Rumors circulated that his wife had been engaged in occupations of 

dubious decency in the past, but Emmanuel had never looked down on her. He just wanted them to lead a happy life. 

After marrying Ryder, Abellyn not only engaged in gambling but also 

indulged in shopping, which resulted in a worsening financial situation for 

the family. 

The fact that she owed such a large amount of money to others only 

added to the disastrous situation they were facing. 

3/5 

Ryder’s experiences had influenced Emmanuel’s views on marriage to 

some extent, and it was one of the reasons Emmanuel had decided not to 

get married. 

“When is the latest deadline for repayment?” Emmanuel asked although 

he could not offer immediate assistance. 

“They said if we don’t pay up today, they’ll take my wife to a bathhouse to 

serve men and earn money to pay the debt!” Tears of exasperation 

almost gushed out of Ryder’s eyes.

Chapter 77 Good Samaritan 

Despite his wife’s extravagant spending habits, Ryder still loved her dearly. 

Their child was six years old. The thought of his wife being forced to work 

at a bathhouse and accompany men weighed heavily on Ryder. It would 

not only disgrace him but also cast a lifelong shadow over their son. 

4/5 

“Today?” Emmanuel was in a dilemma. With time running out, he could not 

think of any other solution besides borrowing from Mackenzie. 

However, considering the substantial amount of money he had previously 

borrowed from her, he found it difficult to ask for more.
