Chapter 155
Emmanuel’s gaze grew determined, and he announced, “This matter is too
important; someone has to step up and resolve it. If we beat a retreat now,
those nasty netizens will be all over Mom! Anyway, I’m handling the issue, and
that’s final. I ain’t scared of any trouble!”
Roselynn voiced her concern, “How can we leave you to face all of that alone,
Manny?”
“Trust me, Roselynn! I’m the man of the house. I need to defend our
household in times of trouble!”
“F–Fine! I’ll get a new phone number and call you again!”
“All right,” Emmanuel said and ended the call.
His phone almost immediately rang with a phone call from Ryder afterward.
By then, only Frederick and Claudette remained by his side. Everyone else
had already left.
Emmanuel dismissed his best friend, “You should head back to work,
Frederick.”
“Okay. Just let me know how I can help, Emmanuel. I’ll do my best to help you.
That’s what best friends are for!”
Frederick still had work to attend to and did not have the luxury of time to
stay behind and listen to Emmanuel’s numerous phone calls.
“Ms. Lenoir, you should head home too. Thank you for your trust and concern!”
said Emmanuel to Claudette.
She waved off his words and uttered, “I’m not working today, Dr. Lowe. Let me
fight those cyberbullies with you. I bet it’ll be quite thrilling!”
She seemed so excited to support Emmanuel to the end as he fought off the
keyboard warriors that Emmanuel eventually allowed her to stay.
He picked up his cousin’s phone call, and Ryder’s anxious voice immediately
filled his ear.
“What’s going on, Manny? Why are the Cadigans coming after your family
again? Don’t worry, though! I’ll come forward and defend your innocence!”
Ryder trusted Emmanuel implicitly. He had watched the latter grow up and
knew his character like the back of his hand.
In fact, he also knew Emmanuel’s family matters better than most, which was
why he was furious over the Cadigan family’s actions.
“I appreciate your offer, Ryder, but I don’t need your help now. Perhaps you
should focus on resolving your and Abellyn’s situation first,” suggested
Emmanuel.
