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
previously, but the latter never listened. It was also why he had never brought
it up.
outsider like him had a say in. They would have had to bear the responsibility
However, Emmanuel had to say something now that things had come to this.
“That’s right… I brought this upon myself. I can’t blame anyone else for this. I
harmony if you work together.”
Pfft!
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!”
