Mistaken Match Marrying the Enigmatic CEO novel Chapter 77

Chapter 77

Seeing everyone gather around Mackenzie while ignoring him, Emmanuel

could not help but let out a bitter smile.

As he entered the room and set down the things he was carrying,

someone suddenly called out to him from behind, “Manny!”

“Yes, Ryder?” Although Emmanuel was considered naïve in Mackenzie’s

eyes, he was intelligent and perceptive enough to sense that his cousin

seemed troubled from the frown on his face.

“Manny, do you have any extra money to spare?” Ryder, being

straightforward as always, did not beat around the bush.

“What’s wrong? Are you experiencing financial difficulty?” Despite

Emmanuel’s own financial difficulties, primarily owed to Mackenzie, he was

willing to a*sist his cousin if asked for a loan.

With a long-standing good relationship since childhood, Emmanuel

understood that his cousin would not make such a request unless he was

in dire need of financial a*sistance.

“It’s Abellyn. She got involved in a poker game and ended up

accumulating a debt of eighty thousand!” Ryder’s voice was filled with

despair. He was almost on the verge of tears.

Earlier on, he had tried to borrow money from Jack but to no avail. He had

no choice but to seek Emmanuel’s help.

“That’s a huge sum! Who did she play poker with?” Emmanuel was taken

aback, realizing that he might not be able to a*sist with that amount.

“She played with some wealthy second-generation entrepreneurs. It’s all

my fault. I should have done more to prevent her from getting caught up

in that mess.” Ryder sighed, blaming himself with deep remorse.

Emmanuel was aware of Ryder’s family’s financial situation. Despite

having a similar monthly income to his own and being an

average-looking man, he had managed to marry a stunning woman.

Rumors circulated that his wife had been engaged in occupations of

dubious decency in the past, but Emmanuel had never looked down on her. He just wanted them to lead a happy life.

After marrying Ryder, Abellyn not only engaged in gambling but also

indulged in shopping, which resulted in a worsening financial situation for

the family.

The fact that she owed such a large amount of money to others only

borrowed from her, he found it difficult to ask for more.

“Do you think you can help, Manny? You’re the only one I can turn to for

help now. If you want me to kneel before you, I will!” As Ryder spoke, he

was ready to get down on his knees.

“No, please don’t!” Emmanuel immediately helped him up.

“What are you doing, Manny? Why did you leave your wife alone out

there?” Suddenly, Roselynn’s voice came from the living hall.

Noticing the absence of Ryder and Emmanuel, Roselynn had a strong

intuition about where they might be. She, too, wished to lend Ryder a

helping hand, but she doubted she could.

She also had concerns that Emmanuel’s desire to be a Good Samaritan

might put a strain on his relationship with his wife.

“I’ll be out in a minute!” Emmanuel responded. He then turned to Ryder.

“Calm down, Ryder. I’ll figure something out for you, but I need to go out

and accompany my wife now.”

Ryder let out a sigh before nodding. “Yeah, you should. I’m so sorry, Manny.

I shouldn’t have burdened you with this on your special day.”
