Chapter 209
Mary might hail from a rural town, but she could put on a commanding
presence when the need arose.
Compared to her, Alessandra seemed meek with her silent nod.
“Abellyn stabbed Ryder, but that was a fight between the married couple. No
one meant for that to happen. Let’s not point fingers at anyone. At this stage,
I don’t think they can continue living together in peace. Why don’t we just let
them get divorced? It would be good for everyone.”
There was no ounce of shame when Mary said that. In fact, she even tried to
make it sound like she was only doing it for the greater good.
Alessandra’s priority had always been peace, so she did not say anything.
Instead, she glanced at her children.
Emmanuel could not resist letting out a cold laugh. It was laughter born out
of anger.
“Mrs. Sheppard, are you trying to say Ryder was stabbed for nothing?” he
asked.
“Well, he deserves it, doesn’t he? He tried to attack Abellyn. What? Do you
think that Abellyn should be the one compensating him instead?”
Chloe swiftly stepped forward in agitation.
“Very well. Since you claim that he was abusing her, where did he hit her? Do
you have proof?”
Emmanuel might seem like a pushover, but he would not just let others walk
all over him. Since Abellyn could deny having cheated on him just with her
words, Ryder could deny the accusations of domestic abuse with a
statement as well.
Moreover, the Sheppard family had just confessed that Abellyn had stabbed
Ryder. That meant she could not escape the consequences.
Abellyn finally broke her silence and angrily shouted, “We were in the kitchen. There were no security cameras or anyone else around us. Where would
find the proof? Anyway, evidence for domestic violence has always been
hard to find!”
“Do not even try wriggling your way out of this. If you don’t have any evidence,
then he didn’t do it!” Emmanuel exclaimed firmly.
His resolute retort surprised Roselynn and she secretly gave him a
thumbs–up.
Men really were more reliable after getting married.
“Emmanuel, you…”
Abellyn gritted her teeth. She knew better than anyone else exactly why he
said that.
If she continued arguing with her, he would definitely tell everyone about how
