Love At The Wrong Table

Chapter 176

“Hey, Manny, I see things have taken a turn for the better. The cyberbullying

against you has settled, hasn’t it?” Ryder asked with genuine concern.

He had just returned home from work after picking up Tommy and glanced

at the news on his phone before making dinner.

Seeing the public opinion now unanimously in support of Roselynn and

Emmanuel and scolding Hermann, Ryder’s heart was finally at ease.

Just as he was engrossed in the conversation, Abellyn returned home, a

storm brewing inside her. She had had an unlucky day playing poker, losing

all her money, and even skipping lunch. Naturally, her mood was nothing

short of foul.

Her anger was further kindled when she heard Ryder’s voice wafting from the

kitchen, full of concern for his cousin without even sparing her a glance.

“Ah, did Ms. Quillen help you out again? She’s pretty and capable, huh? You’ve

truly found a treasure, Manny,” Ryder remarked sincerely.

However, these words triggered Abellyn’s simmering anger into a full–blown

tempest.

“What is the meaning of this? Spending your time worrying about your

cousin’s wife while your own wife and son starve?” Abellyn yelled, her voice

laced with venom.
