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

she cheated on Ryder.

“You stabbed him, so this is attempted murder. You’ll definitely be sentenced

to prison if you’re found guilty!”

The

Emmanuel decided to strike first to frighten her. Then, he continued, “Since

you want a divorce, what are the conditions?”

He wholeheartedly approved of the divorce. It would be for the best if Abellyn

was willing to demand nothing out of the divorce.

After all, she had nothing to do with anything in Ryder’s home. She rarely even

took care of Tommy.

“Fine! A divorce it is!” Abellyn spat out.

When Chloe saw the look Abellyn shot at him, she promptly proposed, “We’ll

go with the usual procedure. She’ll gain half of their assets and custody over

Tommy goes to her.”

He let out a bark of laughter when he heard that.

“Tommy’s custody can go to Ryder as well, but then Abellyn will be taking

70%,” Chloe hurriedly added.

“Have some shame!”

He could not hold back any longer. His face was dark and stormy as he

retorted, “What has Abellyn done for the family? What did she buy? The

house? The furniture? Has she even contributed a single cent to the

household? Don’t you dare tell me that she isn’t aware that Ryder worked

himself to the bone just to pay off her gambling debts? Is she really that

oblivious? How dare you ask for half of his assets and the boy!”

Abellyn did not dare respond despite the emotions flashing through her eyes.

Chloe scoffed as she spoke, “That’s none of your business. You’re just an

outsider. The divorce will go according to the usual legal procedure. Let’s see

what the court will say! Yes, she stabbed him. But he deserved it. He abused

her! The court will surely order him to properly compensate her with more

than just half. Just you wait!”

The look on his face was as stormy as a thunderstorm about to strike.

Even Alessandra and Roselynn were terrified. They had never seen him look

like this before.

“If you insist on fooling around, I’ll play along with your act! Ryder and I will

surely make you regret this!”

He clenched his fist and roared, “I’ll prove once and for all that you cheated

on him, Abellyn. That’s why all of this happened. You won’t get anything out of

Ryder, not even Tommy!”
