Chapter 390
“Mom, I know I was wrong! I really know I was wrong. Can you talk to Ryder
and let me go back home? I promise to serve him well and take care of our
family!” Abellyn pleaded desperately.
As Claudette had hired a lawyer, things had been swiftly resolved in their
divorce dispute. On the other hand, Abellyn had basically received nothing
and was even kicked out of the house. Moreover, Zane had disappeared,
leaving her with no solution. Now, even surviving became a problem, and she
had no choice but to eat her words and go back.
Being soft–hearted, Alessandra saw Abellyn’s tears and felt that she didn’t
want to see their family fall apart. She sighed and said, “I’ll talk to Ryder. If he’s
willing to listen to me, I’ll speak up for you.”
“Really? Thank you, Mom! Thank you!” Abellyn immediately became ecstatic.
Suddenly, a sarcastic voice sounded from behind.
“Mom, don’t sympathize with a woman like her. If you do, you’ll harm Ryder!” A
cold and stern voice spoke up–it was Mackenzie.
“Mackenzie, what are you doing here? Come in quickly!” Alessandra was very
enthusiastic and fond of Mackenzie. Hér attitude was completely different
from her attitude toward Abellyn just now.
However, Abellyn was not a generous nor graceful person and felt displeased
seeing the stark contrast in treatment. She pouted and made faces behind
Alessandra’s back, even silently cursing Mackenzie in her mind.
Mackenzie sensed the commotion behind her and suddenly turned her head.
Her powerful and icy aura frightened Abellyn into closing her mouth. Only
after Mackenzie and Alessandra entered the house did Abellyn angrily leave
the Lowe Residence with a resentful look in her eyes.
“Darn it, Mackenzie. You’re always acting all high and mighty! One day, I will
definitely reduce you to ashes!”
Yes, every time she saw Mackenzie’s gaze, she felt that the other woman
completely despised her from head to toe. For some reason, she always felt
that Mackenzie treated her as an old woman, which severely damaged her
self–esteem.
However, she also knew that she and Mackenzie were worlds apart in terms
of social status, so she could only grit her teeth and say a few venomous
words without being able to do anything.
“Mackenzie, why did you come so early? Why didn’t you tell me in advance?”
Alessandra asked, forgetting about Abellyn. In her heart, there was nothing
more important than her daughter–in–law, especially at this critical moment.
“Mom, Emmanuel has been taken to the police station!” Mackenzie stated
directly.
“W–What did you say?”
Alessandra trembled all over as if her strength had been instantly drained.
After a while, she managed to steady herself and held Mackenzie’s hand,
asking, “What did he do exactly?”
“He killed someone in self–defense!”
“Uh-”

Alessandra, whose health was not the best, was almost on the verge of
fainting from the shock.
My honest and upright son! How could he possibly kill someone? No! It can’t
be true!
Mackenzie quickly supported her and reassured her, “Mom, don’t worry. I’ll find
a way to bail him out. He’ll be fine.”
“Okay! I believe in you!”
Alessandra gently patted Mackenzie’s back. Luckily, her daughter–in–law was
here; otherwise, if someone else had told her this news, she might not have
been able to handle it.
In the next moment, Mackenzie’s phone rang.
“What? Emmanuel was taken away this morning?” Hearing Lexi’s report on the
other end of the call, Mackenzie was quite surprised. “Who was it?”
“Ms. Quillen, I couldn’t find out, but I know this is related to Eve!”
“Eve?”
