“Mom, it’s because he has betrayed me and fallen for his cousin’s wife! He
completely ignored me last night and only talked about someone else’s wife.
I couldn’t stand it, so I had to confront him! He’s the one who betrayed me
first. I did nothing wrong! It serves him right!” Abellyn’s confidence grew as
she spoke, making it sound like it was the truth.
Ryder was infuriated by her. He couldn’t believe she had the audacity to
make up such nonsense. Her actions had consequences not only for her own
family but also for Emmanuel’s family.
However, he was not good with words and didn’t know how to explain himself
at that moment.
Emmanuel, on the other hand, chuckled and said, “What makes you think
Ryder likes my wife?”
Abellyn was the kind of person who couldn’t think rationally, and she blurted
out whatever came to her mind when she got worked up. She immediately
exclaimed, “He talks about your wife all the time, saying that she’s beautiful
and has a great figure! He doesn’t even bother cooking when he talks about
her. Isn’t it because he likes your wife? If that’s the case, he should just be with
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtyour wife!”
“Shut up!” Emmanuel couldn’t bear it anymore and shouted angrily. He
refused to allow anyone to defame his wife.
At that moment, Mackenzie happened to arrive at the entrance.
When everyone saw her Maserati, they were all stunned and momentarily
frozen in awe.
Mackenzie got out of the car and didn’t hear what they were arguing about
just now. However, she noticed that everyone’s gaze was on her, which felt a
bit strange to her.
David stared at Mackenzie intently, practically drooling. Is this really
Emmanuel’s wife? Da*n! No wonder Ryder would have a change of heart.
Who wouldn’t be tempted by a gorgeous wealthy woman like her? She has
completely overshadowed my cousin!
“Can you believe it? She comes to my house early in the morning. Is she so
eager for a secret affair? And you dare to claim there’s nothing going on
between the two of you?” Abellyn pointed at Mackenzie and Ryder,
maliciously trying to tarnish their reputation. She thought she was making
perfect sense.
On the other hand, Mackenzie remained completely composed. She was too
lazy to deal with such a petty woman. Instead, she turned to Emmanuel and
said, “I came to pick you up. Can we go home now?”
In an instant, everyone in the Sheppard family looked at Abellyn.
Regardless of the truth, everyone felt that she was being unreasonable at
that moment.
Even Chloe covered her forehead, thinking that Abellyn was a complete id*ot
with no intelligence whatsoever.
We are all here to support you, so you should behave properly. But now you’re
making a fuss and being unreasonable. Mom and Dad won’t back you up if
you keep acting like this!
Emmanuel didn’t want to leave yet, fearing that if he went back, Ryder would
be at a disadvantage.
“Emmanuel, you and your wife should go back. I can handle my own family
matters.” Ryder might not be good with words, but he knew how to handle
things. He didn’t want Emmanuel and his wife to get involved in his family’s
mess.
“Okay then. It’s getting late. Mackenzie and I will take Tommy to school first.” It
was hard for an outsider to meddle in family affairs, and Emmanuel knew
that Ryder should handle this on his own.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHowever, he intentionally raised his voice and said, “Ryder, if you need help,
just let me know. Remember. The Lowe family also has its own people, and
we’re no pushover!”
As these words landed, a faint tremor ran through the male members of the
Sheppard family, and they could no longer maintain their arrogance.
Tommy, surprisingly, demonstrated a stronger resilience than expected.
He knew something had happened to his parents, but he had managed to
hold back his tears.
However, once he got in the car, he couldn’t help but cry silently in the back
seat.
“Stop the car.” Mackenzie, who was originally sitting in the passenger seat,
heard Tommy crying and took the initiative to ask Emmanuel to stop the car,
and then she moved to the back seat.
“Don’t cry, Tommy. I’m here with you.” Mackenzie gently caressed Tommy’s
head.
Even though she didn’t have a distaste for young boys, it was her first time
comforting a child in this manner. If Beatrix and the other members of the
Quillen family were to witness it, they would surely be astonished.
With the comforting words of a pretty lady, Tommy quickly dried his tears
and uttered a soft sound in response.
