Chapter 158
1
After her argument with Ryder, Abellyn left her residential area and beelined
for Chloe’s house.
Chloe, who was about to have lunch with her son Robby, immediately set her
cutlery down when she noticed her teary sister at the door. “What’s wrong?
Why are you crying?”
She briefly pondered inviting Abellyn to dine with them, but alas, she had only
ordered enough food for two.
Chloe brought this upon herself by losing too much money playing poker but
still insisting on saving money to keep her son in a school in the city.
Abellyn instantly launched into a tirade, “Chloe, Ryder is absolutely horrid! He

Right after firing off their slandering posts, Abellyn’s phone rang with an
incoming call from Ryder.
“Let me speak to him!”
Chloe took her sister’s phone. Once the line connected, she roared, “Did you
have a change of heart, Ryder? You b*stard! Did you forget your vows when
demanded a divorce; she asked for one! She ran out of the house after that.
her?” Chloe threatened, “Listen up, Ryder! You must have accumulated three
lifetimes of good karma to marry my sister. If you divorce, there are plenty of
better men lining up to marry her. As for you, I wonder who’ll want to bind
themselves to an old hat!”
Ryder knew he did not have the best to offer as a spouse, and to scrounge up
