After Abellyn stepped out of the police station, she rushed to Chloe’s house.
“Aunt Abellyn, you’re back!” Robby exalted with twinkling eyes upon seeing his
aunt.
He loved having Abellyn over, and it would be even better if she stayed
overnight.
“Hey, Robby. Where’s your mom?” Abellyn ruffled the little guy’s head with a
forceful smile and ill–concealed anxiety.
“Come in and have a seat,” said Robby enthusiastically as he escorted
Abellyn in. “Mommy’s gone grocery shopping. I’ll make you something to eat
first.”
Abellyn didn’t know what was going on with Robby, and she thought her
sister’s child was absolutely sensible. On the other hand, Tommy seemed
lacking. She blamed Ryder for his incompetence in raising their child.
Sometime later, Chloe returned from her grocery run, and Abellyn jogged to
her and held her sister’s arm. “Chloe, you’re finally back!”
“What’s up? You went to the police station, didn’t you? How did the
investigation go?”
Chloe was just as nervous. If the police found out that Zane had
premeditated murder, then Abellyn’s dream of marrying a rich man and
getting a house would be shattered.
“… I stated as you told me. The police still suspect a possible murder. What
should we do?”
Abellyn couldn’t stop panicking.
Chloe, on the other hand, was much more composed. “Well, there’s no
evidence, and Ryder can’t wake up either. This will all be over once Ryder’s
dead, and if you and Tommy keep your lips sealed.”
“You’re right, sis. I trust you!” Abellyn hugged her sister like a child.
“The problem now is Ryder’s meddlesome cousin,” Chloe reminded her. “If he
gets involved, things could get complicated.”
That was also Abellyn’s concern. “That man got lucky and bagged himself a
good wife,” she said through gnashed teeth. “Without his wife, he’s only as
competent as Ryder!”
“Well, that guy has luck!” Chloe thought about it and suggested, “By the way,
you should come up with a reason to bawl and whine, saying Ryder only got
into an accident because he wanted to hurt you! After that, think of a way to
spread the word to that guy!”
They would play the victim and sling the accusations!
Chloe evidently wanted to establish a preconceived notion in Emmanuel’s
mind.
Abellyn, however, panicked. “What should I do, Chloe? Do I really have to go to
that man? Our relationship is terrible!”
“You’re his sister–in–law, regardless. Have you forgotten that you’re related to
him?”
Though Chloe’s husband passed away young, she had seen an extensive
collection of melodramatic TV series. Hence, she knew all too well how to
improve the relationship between a sister and a brother–in–law.
Any simple plan she pulled out of the bag would be able to help her sister
dominate Emmanuel.
As long as he kept his mouth shut, no one would pay attention to a useless
man like Ryder.
Robby felt uncomfortable as he gazed at his mother’s expression, wondering
what his mother wanted his aunt to do this time. She’s not trying to get Aunt
Abellyn to do something foolish for someone else’s benefit again, is she?
When Emmanuel arrived at the hospital, he heard someone crying inside
Ryder’s ward.
It sounded like Abellyn.
”
He was taken aback when he heard a conversation going on inside the ward.
“Alessandra, I’ve always thought of you as my mother. You really have to
stand up for me this time!”
Inside, Abellyn appeared distressed and helpless in front of Alessandra.
“I really haven’t done anything with Zane, but Ryder suddenly appeared and
started yelling and hitting me! Look at all my bruises!”
Emmanuel happened to open the door slightly only to replace Abellyn, with
barely any humiliation, taking her dress right off in the ward and revealing her
red bra.
It was evident that she had recently lost weight, and her figure had improved
significantly. Her slim waist and ample hips were clearly visible.
“T–This is Ryder’s doing?”
