Chapter 337
“Tommy, you’ve finally returned!” Abellyn exclaimed upon seeing Emmanuel
bring Tommy back, and she wanted to rush over and get her son back. Ryder,
whose mobility was still limited, slowly entered the house behind them.
As soon as Abellyn noticed Ryder, she stopped in her tracks and was aghast
to see him. After a moment of silence, she trembled and stammered,
“Y-You… W–Who are you?!” Ryder merely stared at her with bloodshot eyes
and remained silent, which sent a shiver down her spine.
“Abellyn, is it your son who has returned?” Chloe and her son, Robby, walked
out of the house, both dressed casually as if they lived there.
Upon seeing Ryder returning in one piece, Chloe was taken aback and didn’t
feel well. She already had a plan in mind. First, she would continue to get
Abellyn to harass Zane and use any means necessary to secure the
property. Second, she wanted Ryder dead since her sister would naturally get
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtthe property upon his death!
Now that Ryder had regained consciousness, it was a disastrous situation for
them which left them with no way out.
“Hmph! Abellyn, do you want me dead? It’s too bad that your wishful thinking
has failed! I won’t die until I kill you, you wicked woman!” Ryder’s anger flared
up upon seeing Abellyn. Overwhelmed by his emotions, he began coughing
violently as blood came out of his mouth.
“Ryder, you haven’t fully recovered yet. You should take good care of
yourself!” Emmanuel quickly supported Ryder and provided him with some
medical help.
Seizing the opportunity, Abellyn glanced at her sister and whispered, “Chloe,
what should we do now?” Chloe refrained from speaking impulsively and
signaled her not to panic. Then, she stepped forward. “Ryder, what do you
mean by that? You’ve been bullying my sister all along. What does your car
accident have to do with her?”
Upon hearing Chloe’s words, Ryder, who had calmed down slightly, started
coughing violently again. He was trembling all over as he pointed at Chloe.
“You! It’s you… You’re the wicked woman who instigated Abellyn, isn’t it? Are
you trying to kill me so that your son can take over my house? Damn… Dream
on! I won’t let you two take over my property no matter what!”
Chloe snorted coldly and deliberately provoked him, saying, “Who cares
about your dilapidated house? But if you die, the house will belong to my
sister. By then, she’ll let me and my son move in, and you, a dead man, can’t
do anything about it!”
“Y–You! I’ll kill you, you wicked woman!” Ryder wanted to charge at her and hit
her senseless. “Ryder, calm down! Don’t be fooled by her!” Emmanuel held
him tightly, preventing him from acting recklessly. Emmanuel knew that it
wouldn’t be easy to deal with Chloe; she was looking for ways to provoke
Ryder with her words to worsen his condition. If they engaged in a physical
conflict, she might seize the opportunity to harm or even kill Ryder, claiming
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmself–defense!
Emmanuel accurately guessed Chloe’s intentions. As such, she didn’t back
down easily even though Ryder was restrained by Emmanuel.
Just as Emmanuel was about to assist Ryder into the house, Chloe
deliberately interrupted from behind, saying, “Ryder, are you still pursuing a
divorce? If you do, half of the house will belong to my sister. By then, she can
openly pursue relationships with other wealthy men and discard useless
trash like you!”
“Y–You!” Ryder, who had finally calmed down a bit, grew infuriated once
again. His eyes were bloodshot as he turned around, intending to confront
her. However, Emmanuel continued to embrace him, preventing Ryder from
acting recklessly. Emmanuel understood that this situation shouldn’t persist.
As long as Chloe remained present, she would find ways to provoke his
cousin with her words. With that, he had no choice but to chase her away.
“Chloe, you and your son should leave. Don’t disturb my cousin’s recovery!” he
exclaimed.
