Love at the Wrong Table by Emmanuel Lowe
Chapter 211

Chapter 211

“What are you holding?” Ryder asked. He locked his gaze on the item in

Abellyn’s hand. It was the golden wedding ring they had worn when they

were married, which also belonged to him. He knew she had pawned her ring

two years earlier to pay off her poker debts.

“N–Nothing! This is my home, too. W–Why are you looking at me like that? You

make it sound like I’m a thief!” Her response was used to turn the accusation

around and point it at him instead.

“Put it down!” The room reverberated with his roar.

After hearing this, Abellyn hurriedly placed the ring down.

“If I replace anything missing from this house, I will hold you responsible! Watch

yourself, or you’re dead!” Ryder’s eyes gleamed with murderous hatred as he

spat out his threats.

However, she gritted her teeth in response. He has changed! As far as I can recall, he loved, spoiled, and lavished me affectionately. Is his love for me

gone because I’m not as attractive as I once was? “Just you wait, Ryder! You’ll

die a horrible death!” After uttering this, she stormed out of the house.

In the meantime, Abellyn headed to Chloe’s house, where her shrill cries

echoed off the walls.

“You can’t let this go on, Abellyn. There’s no way you can live like this!” Chloe

exclaimed. Since she did not want her sister to weep all day, she stated

bluntly, “Just come clean with that man! Cut it all off now and divorce him.

With half of his assets, we can afford our own home.”

“I–I don’t have any experience in this, though. I don’t think I can gain much,”

Abellyn replied.

Despite Chloe’s well–dressed appearance, she was completely illiterate. Even

though she was nearly 30 years old, she acted and thought like a young girl,

and she had nowhere near as much life experience as her sister.

“I’ll get a woman to go to your home tomorrow while you tell our parents that

Ryder is cheating on you. Bring them there to catch him in the act. He would

have no choice but to obediently give you most of his assets then!”

“Forget about Tommy, the illegitimate child. Let that man devote his life to

raising another man’s son!” Chloe suggested.

However, her suggestion shocked Abellyn. This is too cruel! Nonetheless, the

more vicious the plan, the better. Anyway, Ryder has asked for it! He is the

one who looks down on me because Emmanuel’s wife is more beautiful than

I am. This is why our marriage failed, and he is solely to blame! “Very well,

Chloe. I’ll do as you say!” she cried out.

“Good. You can sleep here tonight, so go wash up.”

“Okay.” Abellyn nodded and headed to the bathroom.

The place Chloe rented was plain and simple. The shower and toilet were

linked, with the door in disrepair condition.

Meanwhile, Robby had to rush to the toilet to relieve himself. However, his

legs suddenly went limp, and he fell to the ground. Bang! Consequently, his

nose was bleeding from the impact. He would definitely have burst out

bawling before this, but for some reason, his fall did not hurt at all this time.

the crash.

Abellyn also stepped out of the bathroom, wrapped only in a towel with

drops of water clinging to her skin.

“It’s nothing! I’m fine!” After saying this, he swiftly returned to his room.

“Huh? Why is he acting so weird?” Chloe did not understand why her son

reacted that way.

On the other hand, Abellyn did not notice anything unusual about Robby’s

reaction and giggled. “Your son is quite the man, Chloe. He didn’t even cry

when he fell down. He will definitely grow up into something amazing.”

The following day, Emmanuel called Ryder to see how he was doing and to

let him know he would be stopping by that evening.

Nonetheless, just as Emmanuel was about to clock out, he received an

unexpected call from Roselynn. She told him that Hermann’s side of the

family requested another meeting with her and extended a sincere apology.

Naturally, she wanted her brother to accompany her and reasoned that if

that side of the family decided to go back on their word, she would have no

fear if a fight broke out.

“Very well. Wait for me, and I’ll go with you to meet them!” he promised.

“Okay. I’ll be waiting.” She figured there was no reason to rush because no

one on Hermann’s side of the family knew where she and Alessandra lived.

After ending the call, Emmanuel called Ryder to let him know there would be

a holdup in his visit. Following that, Emmanuel met up with Roselynn.

This time, the two families would meet in a hotel restaurant.

Prior to their arrival, Hermann had already ordered the food and was waiting

for them.

On the other hand, Emmanuel noticed something odd about his granddad’s expression when he entered the room, as he perceived both resentment and

fear.

It appeared as though that side of the family had gone to kick up a fuss in

front of the Lowe family’s house but found themselves unable to do anything

since the house now had surveillance cameras everywhere.

However, Roselynn noticed the odd behavior as well. She couldn’t help but

burst into giggles when she saw the expressions on the faces of the two

Cadigan men and thought that Emmanuel and his wife were simply

incredible!

After only two moves, they had successfully attacked the Cadigans‘ weak

spot and rendered them helpless.

“Come, sit!” Despite his reluctance, Hermann stood and greeted the Lowe

family before gesturing for them to take a seat.

Though Alessandra seemed uneasy, Emmanuel and Roselynn quickly made

themselves at home.

“W–Why did you suddenly invite us for dinner, Dad?” Her father’s act of

affection stunned Alessandra. In her mind, her father had never shown her

any kind of care or concern. Why would he be nice to her if he was the type of

man who thought women were nothing but a drain on society? Nonetheless,

this sudden kindness terrified her.

“We are family. As the elder of the family, it is customary for me to treat you

to a meal,” Hermann replied.

Although many Cadigan family members were present, he was the only one

who spoke. However, the women were too timid to speak up as Emerson and

Jamison silently glared at them. They were seething with anger after being

bashed online. Since they could do nothing to Roselynn’s entire family, their

only option was to brood.

“Oh, is that so? Let’s eat then,” Roselynn said. She did not care what Hermann

was scheming. It was a complimentary meal, so she ate everything she

desired. Did they believe she would hold back for fear of contaminating the

food?

On the other hand, Emmanuel felt even less fear. He was a great doctor, so

he was even more certain than her that there was no poison in the food.

After a few minutes of eating, Hermann suddenly stood up.
