Chapter 207

Chapter 207 Abellyn was currently playing poker. As she had lost over a thousand dollars throughout the night, she was in an awful mood. Thus, when she heard what Ryder said over the phone, she exploded. “You absolutely useless fool! Only idiots would suspect their wife day in, day out! Everyone says that poor men have bad tempers. Well, they’re talking about you, you moron!” The other players at the poker table giggled when they heard her shouting at her husband. Abellyn found it so humiliating that she immediately hung up. Her friends all began to criticize Ryder. They went on and on about how it was a waste for a beautiful young woman like her to marry such a useless, old man like Ryder. The more they harped on about it, the more humiliated she felt. The other women never had to deal with phone calls from their husbands who would howl at the top of their lungs. All of the phone calls they received were calls of concern. Ryder was the worst. He immediately accused her of cheating on him.

Due to her bad mood, she kept losing until she lost all the money she had gotten out of Ryder. She even owed the other players a total of 2,000 by the end of the night. Abellyn finally returned home around dawn, exhausted and seething in anger. When she stepped through the door, she was immediately greeted by Ryder who had been staying up all night waiting for her. “How could you stay out all night right after extorting all my money? Do you even love our son? Do you even care about this family? Is your intent to kill both of us? Is that what it will take to make you happy?” Before this, Abellyn would just suppress her anger and let him shout at her until he was done. After all, she did not contribute a single cent to the family’s OPEN finances. Alas, she was currently beside herself in anger. Every single word her poker friends said still echoed in her mind. “Why are you venting your anger at me? I was cursed with bad luck to have ended up married to you! You have no capabilities to speak of, yet your temper is far worse than anyone else! Others might think you are some amazing, tyrannical manager, but you’re just someone who abuses his wife!” “Y–You…” Ryder was still feeling the effects of the alcohol. His eyes turned red as he went through the roof. The fury blazing in his eyes terrified her so badly that she hurriedly hid in the kitchen and grabbed a kitchen knife. She would not let herself be beaten up if he finally snapped. “Fine! I’ll leave you be! Give me 300! I need to top up the fuel and go to work.” He was still holding onto one last shred of rationality, so he recalled Emmanuel’s reminder that his work was more important than this woman. He had to go all out in work for Tommy and his sake! Otherwise, they would be scorned by Abellyn for their whole lives. 4/6 To his surprise, she spat in response, “I don’t have any money on me. I was doing quite well last night, but then you ruined my luck by humiliating me and accusing me of cheating on you! I lost everything, and I even owe them 2,000 now! You’re the one who should be giving me more money!” “What?” he roared. Her response was the straw that broke the camel’s back. He went berserk. He had worked hard every single day, but the moment he was paid for the month, she lost everything in one night! Were they meant to feast on air for the remaining few weeks until he got paid again? What about Tommy’s fees? They needed to pay for after–school care, his school uniform, his stationery, and everything else! What were they meant to do now that they were flat broke? Question after question whirled through his mind until he finally thought about how she had been cheating on him. He was no longer able to hold himself back and immediately charged at her like a crazed dog. “I will kill you, Abellyn! I will break your legs, you darned woman!” Her face went stark white with fear. She immediately squeezed her eyes shut and screamed, “Stay away! I’ll stab you if you come near me!” She was so terrified that she wildly swung the knife through the air regardless of what was actually happening. Suddenly, she felt a burst of warmth on her face. When she opened her eyes, she found herself covered in blood. “Aaah!” she shrieked. Her mind instantly went blank. She had actually stabbed Ryder with the knife.
