A Whirlwind Marriage with the Beautiful CEO novel Chapter 772

Chapter 771

“H-How is Tommy?” For a moment, Abellyn couldn’t be bothered to get back

at Ryder. Tommy might not be Ryder’s flesh and blood, but he was her flesh

and blood. Even tigers wouldn’t eat their cubs, let alone her!

“You wicked woman! If anything happens to Tommy today, I will kill you! Get

out of here!” Ryder forcefully pushed Abellyn away.

Abellyn fell to the ground, looking panicked and trembling all over. After a

while, she hurriedly ran into the house to see what had happened to her son.

Just as they entered the house, a Maserati quickly arrived at the entrance.

Emmanuel hurriedly got out of the car and rushed in. “Ryder, how is Tommy?”

he asked anxiously. He treated Tommy like his own son, and their bond was

profound.

After barging into the house, he noticed that Abellyn was also there.

“Emmanuel, you’re here at last! Hurry and take a look at Tommy. He seems to

have eaten something wrong or been poisoned. He’s been vomiting and

sweating profusely!” Ryder explained the situation to Emmanuel while glaring

fiercely at Abellyn, clearly suspecting she was involved.

Abellyn trembled all over, not daring to argue with him for a moment.

Emmanuel glanced at her but didn’t say anything. He rushed to Tommy’s

side. “Tommy, how are you? Can you speak?” he asked. When he failed to get

a response, he quickly took Tommy’s pulse and lifted his eyelids to examine

his symptoms. After a thorough examination, he looked at the vomit on the

ground and couldn’t help but frown.

It was obvious that Tommy had a worm planted on him. Although Emmanuel

had some knowledge in this area, he couldn’t be considered an expert. For a

moment didn’t know what kind of worm it was.

“Emmanuel, what’s wrong with Tommy? Is his life in danger?” implored Ryder

while coming over immediately.

“Don’t worry, Ryder. Tommy will be fine!” Emmanuel quickly reassured him,

hoping to ease his cousin’s mind. It was clear that the other party didn’t want

to kill Tommy. They must have some other purpose for planting the worm on

him, so they wouldn’t let him die. Because of this, he was confident of saving

Tommy.

“Alright, then. Do you need silver needles, Emmanuel? Save Tommy just like

you saved me back then!” Ryder-quickly pleaded.

Emmanuel nodded, but his gaze suddenly darted outside the window.

There was no one outside the window, but it seemed like a gust of wind

stirred up the dust from the ground.

“Emmanuel, what’s wrong?” Ryder asked again nervously.

“It’s nothing, Ryder. Help me open the window and let some fresh air in!”

“Oh, okay!” Ryder went to open the window.

After Emmanuel glanced outside again, he picked up the silver needles and

performed acupuncture on Tommy.

Chapter 771 He’s Really Something

Outside the window was Blake, who thought, Could Emmanuel have

discovered me despite my ability to move stealthily? No wonder Magnus

hasn’t been able to kill him despite several attempts. He’s really something!

Not wanting to keep Emmanuel from saving his own son, he decided to slip

away first.

After nearly an hour of acupuncture, Tommy’s complexion gradually returned

to normal, and the symptoms of fever and sweating disappeared.

After finishing the treatment, Emmanuel was drenched in sweat from

exhaustion.

“Emmanuel, is Tommy alright now?”

Chapter 772

Ryder had been standing aside nervously. He dared not speak just now for

fear of disturbing Emmanuel while he was performing acupuncture.

Behind him, Abellyn also looked at Emmanuel in awe. If Ryder had half the

looks and one-tenth of the capabilities of his cousin, I wouldn’t have cheated

on him with another man back then! Humph! It’s all because this old man is

useless! It’s not my fault that I cheated on him! What kind of woman would

want to spend her life with a useless man?

Emmanuel didn’t know the thoughts of the two behind him. “Well, he should

be fine now! Ryder, go make some chicken soup for Tommy!” he instructed.

“Alright, I’ll do it!” Only then did Ryder let go of the worries in his heart and

breathed a sigh of relief. As he turned around and saw Abellyn, anger surged

in his heart again. “Say it, Abellyn! Did you do something to make Tommy

suddenly fall ill?”

Seeing his angry face, Abellyn instinctively stepped back. It wasn’t until her

big butt hit the door handle hard and got stuck between her buttocks that

she had to stop. She replied in a panic, “Ryder, d-don’t you dare accuse me

without evidence! Tommy is my own son! Why would I harm him?”

“Humph! You’d better not!” Ryder gritted his teeth. He warned, “If I find proof

that it was you, I won’t let you off!”

“Y-you’re crazy!” Abellyn trembled all over. She retorted, “If I have any

grudges, they’re against you, you stud! Why would I have grudges against

my own son?”

Becoming furious at once, Ryder pointed at her nose and swore, “What did

you say? Who did you call a stud?”

2/4

Abellyn subconsciously wanted to step back. However, the room door wasn’t

opened yet, and the door handle was completely stuck between her

buttocks, leaving no room for her to step back.

“Humph! Stop spouting nonsense! Tommy is my own son! He’s not your son

anymore. Get out of here!” Ryder angrily drove her away.

Abellyn bit her lower lip hard. She yelled in agitation, “Ryder, don’t even think

about bullying me anymore! I’m not afraid of you now! I don’t have to live

according to your whims anymore! I brought Tommy’s biological father here

today!”

What?! Ryder was thunderstruck. He had chosen not to believe Abellyn’s

words all along, but who would have thought that she would actually bring

the man here today?

Emmanuel also stared at Abellyn. Judging from her expression, she didn’t

seem to be lying. If she had proof that Tommy wasn’t Ryder’s biological son,

he was worried that Ryder would have difficulty accepting it.

“Blake, where are you? Come here and meet your biological son, and tell this

useless old man that he’s raising someone else’s son!”

Luckily, no matter how Abellyn shouted, no one showed up.

“Alright, you crazy woman, stop causing trouble in my house! Get out!” Ryder

grabbed Abellyn’s clothes, opened the door, and forcefully dragged her out.

Abellyn kept calling for Blake, but that ugly man was nowhere to be found. He

never showed up, even after Ryder threw her out!

“How strange! Where the hell is that *sshole?” She sat down on the ground

with a puzzled expression. That ugly man specifically asked me to bring him

to see our son, but why did he never show up in front of them? What a

lunatic! Not only that, she also noticed that the black Corolla had

disappeared from the entrance-the man had abandoned her again.

Emmanuel didn’t care about Abellyn either. Ryder went to make chicken soup

while he continued to observe Tommy’s condition with many questions in his

mind. Who on earth secretly planted a worm on Tommy? Who was it that

was peeking from outside the window just now? I didn’t realize it, but

everyone around me has been targeted.

The trouble was getting bigger, and the enemies were getting stronger and

stronger. It seemed that he had to find help. Otherwise, he was afraid he

might be unable to protect so many family members with his own strength.

Chapter 773 Ruby Wants to Talk

Chapter 773

Ring, ring.

After a moment, Emmanuel’s phone rang.

Looking at the caller ID, he saw that it was a call from Alessandra.

“Hello,/Mom, what’s up?”

“Emmanuel, where are you?”

“I’m at Ryder’s place. Tommy just had a little accident.”

“What? What happened? How is he now?”

Hearing his mother’s anxious voice, Emmanuel glanced at Tommy, who was

sleeping peacefully, and casually replied, “It’s nothing serious. He just ate

something wrong, but he’s fine now!”

“That’s good!”

1/6

Alessandra breathed a sigh of relief and then immediately said, “Can you

bring Ryder and Tommy to our house now? Ruby is here!”

“What?”

Emmanuel was surprised. How did that woman end up at his house?

At this moment, Ryder just so happened to walk into the room with a bowl of

congée and overheard the conversation between Emmanuel and his mother.

“Yes, they came specifically to apologize in person. Ruby even said… She

said…”

Alessandra suddenly felt a little reluctant to repeat the words that Ruby had

said.

Emmanuel had a bad feeling and quickly asked, “What did she say?”

She must have said something so cheesy and shameless that his mother felt

embarrassed just repeating it.

“She said… she really likes Ryder. She said since he has strong muscles, he

Chapter 773 Ruby Wants to Talk

must be very hardworking and physically fit. S-She really wants to… Well, in

short, she really wants to talk to him!”

Pfft!

3/6

Ryder was testing the temperature of the congee when he faintly heard what

Alessandra said. He ended up almost spraying congee all over Emmanuel’s

face.

What did Ruby mean by “very hardworking and physically fit?”

How did she know that?

What did she mean by liking “physically fit men?”

Emmanuel also felt goosebumps all over his body.

To him, hearing such cheesy words relayed by his mother felt both horrifying

and creepy!

“Well, Mom, let me discuss it with him.”

“There’s no need to discuss it. Since you have a car, just bring them over with

you!”

Alessandra’s attitude was firm.

She was worried that Ryder would not be able to get together with Tia Franks,

and she believed that Ruby was genuinely interested in Ryder.

In any case, she wanted to help Ryder resolve this issue about his marriage

status as soon as possible.

Even if Ryder did not like Ruby, he should come over to make it clear to her

instead of leaving her hanging.

“Emmanuel… can you still give me a ride to your house?”

Ryder was an honest person who respected his elders. Since Alessandra was

so determined, he could not refuse the instruction.

“What about Tommy?”

“I’ll ask the neighbor to help take care of him. He should be fine, right?”

Chapter 773 Ruby Wants to Talk

“He should be okay’

After Emmanuel said that, he thought momentarily and said, “Since you want

to meet Ruby, I’ll go with you. Be prepared. She’s not a good person!”

Ryder nodded.

He also wanted to cut this relationship off because he liked Tia.

Compared to Tia, Ruby was just a meddlesome woman, no better than

Abellyn. He did not want her.

Soon, Emmanuel drove his Maserati and brought Ryder back to the family’s

house.

Before he even parked the car, Emmanuel was shocked to find a woman

standing by the door.

What was going on?

The temperature for that day was around 50 degrees Fahrenheit, yet Ruby

was wearing a sweet and short plaid skirt paired with black stockings while

her hair was tied up in twin tails. She even put on a style of makeup that

made her look so young that she was almost unrecognizable to Emmanuel!

She was in her thirties, yet she still insisted on dressing like she was eighteen.

Was she a demon?

Ryder did not have Emmanuel’s alertness and observation skills, and he was

also sitting in the passenger seat. Hence, he had yet to see Ruby.

Chapter 774

Ruby had been waiting by the door and could not help but sigh when she

saw the Maserati worth a few hundred thousand.

She believed that as long as she could capture Ryder’s heart, she could

demand 50 thousand for her bride price, along with a new car and a house.

Emmanuel had married a super-rich woman, so he would definitely have to

help Ryder out, right?

Hence, she had to perform well today and turn the tide.

“Ryder, you’re finally back!”

As soon as Ryder opened the car door, he heard a sweet and coquettish

voice call out to him.

When he looked up, he saw a woman dressed like a college student standing

in front of him.

“Y-You’re Ruby?”

Find The Best Freight Forwarder For…

D

Ryder was momentarily stunned.

The change was too great!

Still, he had to admit that she had hit his weak spot!

As his parents had died early, he dropped out of high school and started

working to support himself.

Thus, his biggest regret in life was not being able to go to college and

experience the innocent love of dating someone who regularly walks around

in a school uniform.

Ruby’s appearance today suddenly made him forget how annoying she used

to be.

“Hey, how can you forget about me so soon?”

Ruby pouted and lightly smacked Ryder’s chest.

Ugh!

Chapter 774 She Will Do It

Back in the house’s front courtyard, Roselynn almost vomited when she saw

that.

Emmanuel also got goosebumps all over and quickly led Ryder into the

house.

Ruby held on tight to Ryder’s arm and greeted Emmanuel, “Manny, hello!”

Emmanuel frowned and said, “Just call me Emmanuel. We’re not that close!”

Ruby felt unhappy put still sweetly said, “Okay, Manny!”

Emmanuel did not know what to do with this woman and quickly walked into

the house.

Ryder’s face turned slightly red as he pushed Ruby away.

However, she kept moving closer while rubbing her chest against him, and,

being a man of a bit of tact, he did not know what to do.

It was the first time in his life that he had encountered such shamelessness!

She was acting even more shameless than Abellyn back then!

Although he said no, his body betrayed him.

Screw his bodily reaction…

After the two entered the house, Roselynn took the opportunity to pull her

little brother over and whispered in his ear, “I heard that she was the one who

taught Milani how to pursue you. Milani was so persistent. Now, this old vixen

is making a move herself. You must find someone to get rid of her!”

Emmanuel bitterly smiled. “Where can I find an exorcist to deal with this

vixen?”

“Ask your love advisor!”

Roselynn reminded Emmanuel.

While Ruby forcefully brought Ryder over to meet her parents, Emmanuel

quickly called Rhea.

“It’s easy.”

Rhea answered the phone, sounding extremely excited. Her position as

Emmanuel’s love advisor was becoming increasingly secure!

“Call Tia and ask her to pretend to be your cousin’s girlfriend. If she agrees, it

means she won’t reject your cousin anymore. They might even actually start

dating. We’ll be killing two birds with one stone!”

“Great idea, but what if she doesn’t want to do it?”

While Emmanuel thought Rhea was indeed a genius in love matters, he still

had some concerns.

“Trust me. She will definitely agree!”

“If she disagrees, you still have me, right? I’m your most reliable backup!”

Rhea confidently said.

“Huh? My backup?”

Emmanuel was momentarily stunned.

“If Tia doesn’t agree to do it, I can play along for you!”

“Oh, I see. Okay. Thank you!”

Emmanuel could only treat it as a slip of the tongue from Rhea. He was

already a married man. Why would anyone want to be his backup? It was

better not to overthink.

He didn’t know that after Rhea hung up on the phone, her cheeks were

burning hot!

“Darn it! Why did I say something like that? I can’t let Emmanuel know that I

like him. Otherwise, it might be awkward when we meet in the future…”

Chapter 775

“Stop clinging to me. It looks rude!”

Ryder entered the room and pushed Ruby away again.

This woman was as sticky as sugar!

She might have no shame, but he still wanted to maintain his dignity!

“Ryder, you finally came!”

Just as he managed to push Ruby away, Belinda approached.

Alessandra, being the kind-hearted person she was, had already forgiven the

other party after they apologized. Hence, she was walking next to Belinda as

well.

“Well…”

Ryder was not used to this. Last time, both Belinda and Ruby teamed up to

scold him like he was something found at the bottom of their shoes. Why

Chapter 775 Are You Dating Someone?

were they suddenly so nice to him?

He just did not understand it!

He did not get it one bit.

“Ryder, what happened last time was our family’s fault. When your mother

asked the matchmaker to approach us, we shouldn’t have been so

judgmental!”

Belinda played along with her daughter’s act as she insincerely apologized to

Ryder.

As for Roderick, he smiled and went along with it. He did not care who Ruby

married as long as the man could afford the bridal price.

After all, their goal was to sell their daughter for a high price. It was fine as

long as they would not be suffering a loss.

“You were not wrong, though!”

Chapter 775 Are You Dating Someone?

Ryder straightened his back and said, “I am indeed ugly and not worthy of

your daughter, so…

“I don’t mind!”

Ruby did not give him a chance to refuse the offer. She walked over and

hugged his arm.

Based on her experience dating middle-aged men, she had already figured

out that although Ryder was a typical doormat, his self-control was far

inferior to Emmanuel’s!

She knew full well that Milani Zimmerman could not make Emmanuel fall

head over heels for her because she did not use her body effectively.

After all, a woman’s greatest weapon was her body, right?

She firmly believed that as long as she slept with Ryder, the older man would

definitely be infatuated with her.

Then, as long as she made good use of his relationship with Emmanuel and

3/6

his mother, she could easily get a bride price of 50 thousand, maybe even

500 thousand!

“Ah, I really don’t deserve you, Miss Zimmerman!”

“You should work harder then. I believe you will be worthy of me in the future!”

“I just can’t do it. No matter how hard I work, it’s useless!”

“In that case, I’ll accompany you and be your catalyst for change, okay?”

“Well… what exactly about me caught your attention?”

“See? You have self-awareness. You are down-to-earth and honest. Isn’t that

your greatest advantage?”

Listening to the conversation between Ryder and Ruby, Roselynn felt like she

was going to vomit again.

She also saw that her cousin was no match for Ruby’s wily ways. If he did not

have the help of an expert, he would be devoured in no time!

On the other hand, Alessandra was happy to see this. She had always known

that Ryder was a good man and that a woman would eventually be

attracted to him!

Although she knew that Ryder liked Tia, it would not hurt to have another

option.

“Oh, I… Ugh.”
