Abbie couldn't help but show her jealousy. She walked softly to Cheyenne with a gentle smile on her face and took Kelvin's arm. Abbie wore a white long dress, while Kelvin was in a black suit. They stood together, the classic black and white combination harmonious and pleasing to the eye.
"Miss Lawrence, it's been a while since we last saw you. It seems like you've recovered from your illness quickly. Congratulations on being discharged," Abbie said as she extended her hand to Cheyenne.
Unfortunately, Cheyenne still had her hands in her pockets and her eyes were fixed on Abbie's soft hand that was holding onto Kelvin's arm.
He didn't refuse!
Just seconds ago, he was forcefully kissing her, now he could calmly linked his arms with Abbie's - she really underestimated men's ambition.
Cheyenne withdrew her gaze without leaving any trace of emotion on her face. She raised an ironic smile and said, "Are you really congratulating me?"
Abbie froze for a second before responding graciously, "Of course I am! Grandpa heard about your hospitalization and was very worried about you."
But then old Mr. Foley spoke up unexpectedly coldly beside her ear, "Who is your grandpa? Didn't Deshawn Berry die long ago?"
Old Mr Foley's words hit Abbie's heart hard; tears welled up in her eyes as they hung from her long eyelashes, making it seem like she had been wronged.
Emelia felt surprised for a moment too; although she didn't like Abbie who always acted like a gentle woman, but she disliked Cheyenne even more for her arrogant attitude.
She also felt threatened by how much Grandpa favored Cheyenne, so after comparing both of them, Emelia decided to help Abbie first.
Kelvin frowned slightly as he gently pulled down the hand that Abbie had placed on his arm. He furrowed his brow before speaking coldly, "Grandpa, Abbie grew up in the Foley family too! She isn't an outsider, so why treat her this way?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Cheyenne clearly saw the satisfaction reflected in Abbie's blushing face; those not-so-pretty almond-shaped eyes sparkled with prideful light!
"Kelvin, please don't say that. Grandfather doesn't like me, maybe it's because I haven't done well... I'm sorry, Grandfather. I don't know where I went wrong to make you biased against me. As long as you say so, I will change."
She looked "sincerely" at old Mr. Foley in front of her and bowed, making the surrounding guests feel that old Mr. Foley was really hard to understand.
What's not good about having such a gentle and generous heiress as a granddaughter-in-law?
Abbie used to be a renowned ballet soloist at home and abroad. If it weren't for an accident that injured her foot, she wouldn't have fallen into this situation today.
Speaking of which, Cheyenne came later and was truly the third party.
From the divorce incident, it can be seen that Mr. Foley still has feelings for his first love Miss Berry.
Miss Lawrence shouldn't have appeared tonight.
When he was young, old Mr. Foley served in the military and was a rough man with a straightforward personality who couldn't see through Abbie's hypocrisy.
