She Became Rich After Divorce (Cheyenne and Kelvin) novel Chapter 193

Chapter 193: Reserved Kate

Just as Cheyenne said goodbye to Sam, her phone in her pocket rang. It was Kate.

"Hey, Cheyenne, when are you getting here?"

Listening to the voices of others on the other end of the line, Cheyenne guessed that she was probably shopping at a mall.

"In a little while."

"I'm at the department store in downtown. Want to go shopping together?"

Cheyenne agreed but first went back to her bedroom and changed into something slightly more formal. She opened up the secret room in her study where there was a white safe.

This secret was unknown to George and Malaya; inside were all of Selah's jewelry from before she passed away. There were priceless jewels, antique hairpins and jade bracelets.

After Selah died, Layne collected these items with plans to give them as part of Cheyenne's dowry when she married into the Foley family. But since Kelvin never took her out anywhere except for their wedding day, she didn't need any of it.

Malaya had been searching for these items for years but couldn't find them anywhere throughout the villa. She thought that maybe Cheyenne had taken them with her when she got married but they were actually right under her nose all along.

The villa was designed by Grandpa's friend and had several hidden rooms and underground passages where large antiques could be stored without being seen by anyone who visited their home regularly. Most things that were left out in plain sight weren't worth much anyway so Layne didn't bother taking care of them which is why Malaya and Nora could take advantage like this.

It had been many years since anyone touched this box so there was quite a bit dust on top of it.

Cheyenne crouched down in front of the safe and wiped off some dust with one hand while blowing off another layer with air from her mouth before entering her mom's birthday as password which resulted in hearing only "drip" sound similar to water droplets echoing through silence within bookroom.

The safe was opened, and inside, there was a jumble of boxes, filling it to the brim. It was so packed that when she opened the safe, one box fell out. Cheyenne picked it up; it was a small rosewood box, intricately carved.

Inside lay two cherry blossom pink jade bracelets, perfect for Kate!

Sitting on the floor, Cheyenne opened all the remaining boxes, revealing a dazzling array of treasures. From delicate gold hairpins to precious jade bracelets, Tahitian black pearls, gold bead necklaces, diamond tassel earrings, and much more, it was a sight to behold.

She drew the curtains in the study, casting the room into dim light, but the countless sparkling jewels made the whole room gleam with brilliance. Delicate beams of light circled around Cheyenne, who sat cross-legged on the floor. Her exquisite face, with rosy lips and fair complexion, seemed to outshine the radiance of these treasures, making her even more resplendent.

"That's it!" After picking through them all, she still thought that cherry blossom pink jade bracelets were her favorite.

After changing into new clothes, she treated her priceless rosewood box and jade bracelets like a purse and carried them under her arm as she left for Ocean Department Store in downtown Akloit.

A few minutes later, the car came to a stop.

Ocean Department Store was one of Akloit's two renowned department stores and a shopping paradise for wealthy women looking for leisure and entertainment.

From a distance, Cheyenne spotted her friend Kate standing at the entrance. Kate wore a tight-fitting black miniskirt that barely covered her plump derrière, showcasing her fair, slender legs. Her outfit attracted quite a few stares.

Seeing her friend's attire, so different from her usual style, Cheyenne took a step forward and raised an eyebrow. "Did your brother say anything about you dressing like this?"

Eddie loved his sister like a father would love his daughter; he didn't allow Kate to stay out late or drink alcohol or date early... He had many rules for her even though none of them were ever enforced.
