She Became Rich After Divorce (Cheyenne and Kelvin) novel Chapter 16

Chapter 16: Insanely Extravagant

The woman stood up from her seat and walked gracefully over to his side. She breathed out a hot breath and giggled softly.

"Mr. Foley, you really can't stand to lose, can you?

"Cheyenne Lawrence!"

As Omari clenched his fists tightly under his suit sleeves, his knuckles turning white, Omari feared that he might harm Cheyenne in a fit of anger.

He strode over to them and positioned himself as her protector, standing between her and Kelvin. "You must be Cheyenne's ex-husband," he said with emphasis on the word "ex".

Kelvin felt a surge of anger at the tone of Omari's voice. Without hesitation, he retorted with a sneer, "And you must be her lover?"

Cheyenne furrowed her brows in confusion. What did he mean?

Omari chuckled softly and replied with a hint of regret in his voice, "I wish I were. But Cheyenne has always refused me. Thanks to Mr. Foley for letting go of her, I can pursue her openly now."

Kelvin felt like something was stuck in his throat; he didn't know how to vent it out.

His intuition told him that this man was not simple!

"I won't let you have what Cheyenne wants! 30 million dollars! I'll take the herb," Omari said lightly as he hugged Cheyenne's shoulder and returned to their seats.

30 million dollars...

It was five times more than the value of this herb.

Just then, the beautiful hostess turned towards them and spoke softly into the microphone, "I'm sorry, everyone; our boss just informed us that we're not selling this herb anymore but giving it away for free to this lady here."

'What? The herb has gone for 30 million dollars, but its owner wants to give it away to Cheyenne for free. What the hell is wrong with him?' others thought.

Cheyenne was just as confused as everyone else. It was her first time attending Hatchdew Auction.

She didn't even know who the boss behind them was.

Omari looked troubled and squeezed Cheyenne's hand, "You have such great charm. I'm jealous."

"Be serious. I'm just as clueless," she pulled her hand back and rolled her eyes.

Soon enough, the beautiful host walked down with Miss Etiquette following behind her. Miss Etiquette held a wooden tray with Rejuvenated Herbs on it. She passed by Abbie and stopped in front of Cheyenne.

"Madam, please accept this herb," said Miss Etiquette with a smile.

"Why?" asked Cheyenne surprised but didn't reach for it.

"The CEO requested to give it to you. He also wants to meet you in person and is waiting for you in his private room upstairs."

So taking this herb meant she had to meet him?

Cheyenne took a deep breath and nodded, "Alright, I'll go see your CEO."

"Cheyenne, don't go. If you want the herb, I can help you find it or offer a higher price to buy it," Omari said. Who knows what their CEO's intentions are? What if he wants to harm Cheyenne?

But Cheyenne refused his offer, "Are you crazy? They're giving it to me for free. A meeting can be traded for 30 million dollars. It is a great deal!"

"But..."

"There's no buts. If you're worried, come with me."

The hostess was hesitant because her boss only wanted to see Cheyenne.
