Chapter 206
“You’re right, Manny. I can’t just wait for the inevitable. I’ll get useful blackmail
on that woman and sue her. If she insists on going down this path, I’ll divorce
her!”
Ryder finally decided that he could not live in denial any longer.
His wife was determined to cheat on him, so he could not just pretend
nothing happened.
“I’ll go with you, Ryder.”
Emmanuel followed Ryder to Nightfall Bar, thinking of asking for last night’s
surveillance records.
Unfortunately, they were nobodies. It didn’t matter what they said, the bar
refused to give them access to the footage. It certainly didn’t sway them
when Ryder shouted in their faces that his wife had been cheating on him at
their premises.
They had no choice but to leave empty–handed.

red–handed tonight!”
Ryder had the utmost faith in Emmanuel.
This whole time, he was certain Abellyn had been lying. If Emmanuel said she
had been flirting around with other men, then she was definitely guilty of that.
Emmanuel was out of ideas as well, but he still advised Ryder, “You should
only stay here for one night. I just caught Abellyn here last night. There’s no
way she’s foolish enough to come back here. Don’t let this matter with her
affect your work. It’s not worth it.”
“I know, Manny.”
Emmanuel only returned home when he received Ryder’s promise to be
more careful this time.
When he drove Mackenzie home later that evening, Emmanuel drove past Nightfall Bar. Then, he told
her all about what happened with Ryder during their journey home.
While she found Ryder’s actions foolish, she did not see a need in throwing
rocks when someone was already down.
As expected, Abellyn did not head to Nightfall Bar that evening. Therefore,
Ryder ended up drowning his sorrows in drink.
“It’s getting late, Ryder. Let’s go. I’ll drop you off at home,” Emmanuel said
gently.
Ryder had intended to go along with the suggestion, but when he spotted
Mackenzie in the car, he adamantly refused to get into the car.
“Go home with your wife, Manny. Leave me be! I’ll just hail a cab.”
“It’s fine. She won’t be mad. You’re not in a good place financially. Every little
bit counts.”
“No, no, no. You should go!”
Ryder would rather die than get into that car. He might be a fool, but he was a self–aware fool. They
belonged to two completely different worlds. How
could he sit in the same vehicle as Mackenzie?
He was afraid his presence would stain her ethereal image.
When Mackenzie noticed what was happening, she let out a discreet huff.
Only Emmanuel would be foolish enough to suggest that idea.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe was the great CEO of Terence Group. There was no way she could sit in
the same vehicle with a drunkard.
“Tell Ryder to stop with this foolish nonsense. I’ll find his evidence for him.”
That was what she said when Emmanuel finally got back into the car.
“Really?” His eyes lit up with joy. “What do you have in mind? Ms. Quillen?”
“Hmph! That’s none of your business!”
She was deliberately keeping it a secret from him.
As there was nothing he could do about it, he simply shrugged and started
the engine.
Once they disappeared from view, Ryder heaved a heavy sigh. He was so
envious of Emmanuel.
He genuinely desired to be as affectionate with Abellyn as Emmanuel was
with Mackenzie. Just once was more than enough for him.
Unfortunately, Abellyn was never nice to him. She would only ever hurt him.
He stumbled home in a drunken stupor to find that Abellyn wasn’t home. The
mere thought of her fooling around with another man made him call her in a
fit of mania.
She finally answered the phone on the third call.
“Which man are you with now, Abellyn? Get back here right now or I’ll kill you!”
