She Became Rich After Divorce (Cheyenne and Kelvin) novel Chapter 151

Chapter 151: Beautiful Women Know How to Deceive People

The solicitous behavior of Omari Lara, the renowned international lawyer, might have seemed like a sycophantic act to Kelvin. Such actions could have been perceived as embarrassing for the Lara family.

Omari was well aware of Kelvin's disdain for him, but he didn't really care. He saw it as part of the process of pursuing women and enjoyed it.

Cheyenne grabbed onto his sleeve, leaving a greasy fingerprint on the blue suit sleeve.

"Mr. Lara, you came just in time. You're the one who saved me from that car accident, right?"

As she spoke, Omari looked nervously elsewhere and met Kelvin's dark and fierce gaze.

He understood what was happening.

He coughed to disguise his nervousness before smiling slightly with parted lips. "I should protect you, Cheyenne; I'll always be there for you when danger arises."

He lowered his eyes to look at his own feet while speaking; this wasn't exactly lying though - he was simply expressing what he felt in that moment.

Cheyenne raised her chin like a victorious rooster with her long elegant neck exposed along with a thin silver chain around it.

Kelvin's grim gaze fell upon her neck - so slender that one could break it easily if they squeezed too hard.

"Mr. Foley," she said coldly while looking down on him disdainfully. "Do you have any shame? It was Mr. Lara who saved me, and yet you said you saved me instead, making me think I had the wrong person."

Her words infuriated him as he clenched his fists tightly.

"Oh! Are we upset now? Everything I said is true! Someone heartless like yourself probably wishes I died sooner so I wouldn't get in your way or Miss Berry's way."

Every word out of her mouth only served to anger him more.

'Petty, arrogant, difficult to communicate with, boring, heartless... Is this how she see myself?'

'If I had a chance to start over again, I would never choose someone like Kelvin.' Such words hit him even harden.

'Why did I care so much about what Cheyenne thought about me? That isn't my style.'

As Kelvin's expression grew increasingly sour while Cheyenne continued tauntingly provoking him further, Omari quickly stepped forward to stop her before things escalated any further.

"Okay, Cheyenne, I know you don't like this guy and neither do I. We don't need to get angry over someone who doesn't matter. Come on, I brought you chicken soup, you'll love it."

Omari's words of "someone who doesn't matter" didn't sit well with Kelvin and his lips tightened into a straight line.

That's just how he is - the calmer he appears, the angrier he actually is.

Cheyenne felt a sense of satisfaction that she could make Mr. Foley - someone who was always calm and collected - angry.

In all the eight years that she had admired him, Kelvin had never shown her anything but indifference.

She used to wish for even just one glance from him - even if it was an angry glare - just to prove that he acknowledged her existence.

But he didn't have any hatred towards her, let alone love.

Cheyenne turned around without looking at Kelvin anymore and smiled happily at Mr. Lara instead. Her eyes were bright and clear as she said, "Mr. Lara, let's go back now. Although I'm already full from eating earlier, I can still drink some soup."

"It's my fault for being late."
