Mistaken Match Marrying the Enigmatic CEO

“Ryder! Get over here right now, you wife–beating b*stard!” Mary shouted

while slamming a fist on the door.

Abellyn had left the house in a rush the previous day. She didn’t bring

anything with her, so they had no choice but to wait for the people inside to

open the door.

It was also why they had come so early. They didn’t want to risk having the

man leave for work and not be able to get their payback.

“You wife–beating coward! Come out, right now! I’ll kick your door down if you

don’t come out soon!” Abellyn’s cousin, David Sheppard, roared as he kicked

the door.

It was such a huge commotion it aroused the attention of the neighbors.

Nonetheless, Abellyn did not feel even an ounce of shame. Instead, she

instructed her cousin to kick harder. It was like that unit in front of her wasn’t

her house at all.

“Who’s kicking the door? Do you have a death wish?”

A man suddenly opened the door. He was filled with rage and looked

absolutely formidable. David jumped in shock and stumbled backward.

The person was, of course, Emmanuel.

David dared not utter another word, even though he had been so arrogant

earlier. He could tell with just one glance that the man before him was not

one to mess with.

Mary was about to speak when Ryder came limping out. “Mom, Dad! Why are

you here?” he asked.

Despite the fact that he was having problems with Abellyn, he was still being

respectful of his in–law.

Mary instantly gave him a slap across his face when she saw him. “I’ve raised

my daughter for so many years, but we’ve never laid a hand on her. How

dare you beat her up like that? You don’t have an ounce of respect for us, the

Sheppard family, do you?”

“Mom! Stop it! Stop hitting me!”

Ryder was confused. He couldn’t hit her back, nor could he just allow her to hit

him. All he could do was protect himself, using his hands as his shield.

Mary’s husband, George Sheppard, was worried his wife would get the short

end of the stick and began helping her to beat his son–in–law up.

Shortly after, Abellyn’s cousins joined in as well.

The family burned with rage and was adamant about beating Ryder to a

pulp.

Originally, Emmanuel had no intentions of intervening when he saw Mary

hitting his cousin. He had assumed that they would talk things through after

they had both calmed down.

However, he seethed with anger when he saw the group of people bullying

Ryder.

“D“mn it! Are you looking down on the Lowe family?”

Emmanuel pounced at them and easily managed to fling David to the

ground.

Without much effort, he pushed the rest of the Sheppard family away and

stood before Ryder to protect him.

“You just have to pick a fight, don’t you? Are you going to come at me one by

one or all at once? Do you think I’d be scared?”

Sure, Emmanuel did have a good temper, but he could be horrifying if he ever

got angry.

Even Samuel was terrified of him, let alone people like the Sheppard family.

“Sh*t! This man is so strong!”

David didn’t dare to fight him anymore.

The family chickened out. They wouldn’t be able to beat Emmanuel even if

they were to pounce at him together.

“Come on! You’re just looking down on Ryder because he’s injured, aren’t

you? Fight me if you want to. Abellyn is not the only one with family here.

Ryder has one too!” Emmanuel shouted in anger once more.

Only then did Mary finally notice Ryder was covered in blood. Her expression

changed in an instant. “W–What happened? Who did this?”

Her daughter had complained that her husband was abusing her the

previous night. Because of that, she brought David over to seek justice for

Abellyn.

Mary had no idea Ryder was injured so badly.

“Who else besides your precious daughter?” Emmanuel answered for Ryder.

Hearing that, Ryder chimed in emotionally, “Abellyn went crazy last night. She

suddenly stabbed me with a knife! I had no other choice but to hit her. Look!

My thigh is still bleeding!”

As he spoke, the man removed the bandage and showed his mother–in–law.

He was about to lose control of his emotions and sounded like he was on the

verge of tears as he spoke. “Are you, the Sheppard family, the only humans

here? Am I not human to you? I’ve been a coward all my life. Couldn’t I have

gotten mad just this once?”

Mary was shocked to hear that. “Is Ryder telling the truth, Abellyn? Why did

you stab him? Have you really gone crazy?”

She deserves to get beaten up by Ryder if she did stab him. Why did she do

something like this? Has she gone nuts or what?
