He exuded an air of nobility and had a face that was just as handsome as any A-list celebrity in the entertainment industry. With a net worth of over billions, he was a golden bachelor. Who wouldn't be attracted to such a man?
Unfortunately, he was too perfect and radiated an icy coldness that kept people at arm's length. For years, Cheyenne had been the only woman by his side besides Abbie.
Juliana's heart skipped a beat and she casually whispered, "Grandpa, it's been so long since you visited the Foley Mansion. Why don't we pay old Mr. Foley a visit?"
"Hmm?" Rex looked at her with suspicion in his eyes as if he could read her thoughts with one glance while arching his eyebrows.
She wasn't exactly known for being polite or well-mannered; she would even refuse to visit friends when they invited her out before.
"Why would we go visit old Mr. Foley for no reason?"
Juliana bit her lip and blushed slightly before answering like an innocent girl, "Actually I want to see Kelvin."
She told her grandpa about how the Foley Group was looking for someone to endorse their jewelry line and she wanted to land that endorsement deal.
Rex became extremely angry and slammed her forehead hard enough for it to echo throughout the room while scolding her loudly with puffed-up cheeks, "My friendship with old Mr. Foley is purely platonic without any ulterior motives! I won't allow you to visit him with your own agenda."
"Furthermore," He continued sternly, "I forbid you from seeing Kelvin! That boy is not someone you should mess around with."
"He may be talented but look at Cheyenne who is equally exceptional yet still can't catch his eye? What makes you think you can compare yourself against Cheyenne?"
When Rex mentioned Cheyenne's name so highly while simultaneously belittling her, Juliana grew even more infuriated.
"What's wrong with me? I'm already quite famous now myself! Cheyenne means nothing but some abandoned woman!"
"You can't say things like that!" Rex retorted firmly."Didn't you see how well she did in today's art competition? Even I feel inferior to her!"
Juliana couldn't care less about winning two first-place awards or earning four hundred thousand dollars through additional points awarded by old Mr. Edwards' influence alone!
Besides, she thought, the younger generation doesn't need those things anymore. They just need good looks, a rich husband, and never have worry about clothes or food again!
"She's just a little talented in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. What's so great about that?"
Rex was frustrated and pounded his chest and stomped his feet. How could Juliana, as the lady of the Chambers family, lack ambition?
"What's so great about it? Then why don't you know how to do it?"
Juliana blushed with anger and complained to him, "Are you my grandfather? Why are you always taking someone else's side?"
Rex didn't bother with her now; his son and daughter-in-law had spoiled this granddaughter.
Before leaving, he reminded Juliana again, "Remember not to provoke Kelvin. He is not someone you can mess with."
He also needed to talk to Cheyenne about buying that piece of calligraphy.
Hearing this warning from him made Juliana even more unwilling.
She didn't believe it!
If even Cheyenne could marry him, why couldn't she? Besides, Cheyenne had divorced Kelvin. So what if he was with Miss Berry now? That old woman was sickly; how could she compare with herself as a beautiful starlet? She decided she would visit the Foley Mansion tomorrow!
