Ryder glanced at the young and attractive ladies who were welcoming everyone except him. Although
he felt a bit uncomfortable, he didnât become angry.
âBlame yourself for your unattractiveness, Ryder, Sighâ¦â After forcing a bitter smile, Ryder examined
the properties alone, feeling somewhat lonely and desolate
Cloud Bay was a high end real estate development in Yeringham. The sales gallery was sophisticated,
featuring a spacious lobby with 3D models and 360-degree video displays for each property. Therefore,
Ryder didnât need the assistance of the sales ladies, he could understand everything on his own.
As he entered a small duplex, he noticed a woman in a wine red silk dress also looking at the same
property.
The woman had her back turned to him, so Ryder couldnât see her face. However, he had a feeling of
familiarity, but couldnât recall where he had seen her before. Not skilled at starting conversations, he
chose to stand behind the woman and observe the property. Unexpectedly, as the woman moved while
looking at the model, her hip accidentally bumped into Ryder, who was equally inattentive.
Thump!
Her backside was soft, and Ryder was immediately aroused.
âOh! Who?!â The woman quickly turned around, and upon seeing Ryderâs not-so-pleasant face, she
froze, her eyes widening. âRyder?!â
âItâs you!â Ryder had initially planned to apologize, but upon seeing the woman, he changed his mind.
After all, it was Abellyn Sheppard.
He had to admit that she had become much more beautiful recently. And she had successfully lost
weight, making her figure look quite attractive. No wonder he couldnât recognize her immediately from
behind.
âIs everything okay, Ms. Sheppard?â A saleswoman in her thirties, holding a glass of water,
approached. Her name was Mildred Yule, and she had just been assisting Abellyn.
âHmph, you came just in time. This pervert deliberately touched me inappropriately. Can you imagine
how disgusting that was?! Quickly, tell the guards to teach him a lesson!â Abellyn pointed at Ryder with
disdain, instructing Mildred to take action.
Since their divorce, Ryder had humiliated her in various ways, and she had long desired revenge. Little
did she think that fate would bring him to her on this day!
âAbellyn, watch your language!â Ryder could tolerate other women, but he instantly became furious
when it came to Abellyn. âYou were the one who bumped into me. How could you twist the truth?!
Besides, itâs not like I never touched you in the past. Do you need to behave like this?!â
âHuh, that was in the past! Now that you canât have me, you can only secretly desire me. What? Have
you regretted divorcing me? Do you think a lowly farmer like you can still have me? Huh, good luck!â
âYou⦠Thatâs completely false!â Not as articulate as Abellyn, Ryder seethed with rage.
Meanwhile, Mildred quickly assessed Ryder and deduced that he was indeed a typical farmer, wearing
a security guard jacket. She didnât know where he was stationed, but one thing was certain: it certainly
wasnât their sales gallery,
âYou, get out!â She immediately focused on Ryder, pointing towards the exit. âOur property doesnât
welcome people who come in just to enjoy the air conditioning and complimentary refreshments!â
âIâ¦â Ryder panicked, but being clumsy with words, he couldnât explain in time before Abellyn splashed
the tea in her hand onto his face.
It was scalding!
Ryder yelled in pain, his face turning red and then grim. He wanted to retaliate against Abellyn
regardless of the consequences. Unfortunately, two security guards quickly rushed over and restrained
him.
Mildred shouted sternly, âGet out, or Iâll have the guards escort you to the police station!â
Ryder felt utterly aggrieved, but there was nothing he could do. Without money in his pocket and being
restrained by the security guards, he couldnât assert himself. He could only leave dejectedly.
Overjoyed, Abellyn reveled in Ryderâs misfortune. âRyder, oh Ryder, you didnât think youâd end up like
this, did you? You must be regretting it so much now! Well, serves you right for humiliating me back
then! Huhâ¦â
Abellynâs laughter echoed, each sound piercing Ryderâs eardrums and penetrating his heart.
