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.

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

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

tempest.

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

laced with venom.
