She Became Rich After Divorce (Cheyenne and Kelvin) novel Chapter 204

Chapter 204: Tears are the Greatest Weapon

Kelvin couldn't help but feel a desire to protect her, and he thought that this emotion was love. So, he turned a blind eye to Abbie's efforts to drive away the women who intentionally or unintentionally tried to seduce him. It also solved one of his problems.

His acquiescence made Abbie even more reckless. She had already convinced herself that she was the only woman worthy of Kelvin's attention. Despite her innocent and gentle appearance, she once sneered at other girls' love letters for Kelvin and openly claimed Cheyenne's gift as her own before giving it to him in her name.

At twenty years old, Abbie was at the prime of her youth. That year, she received an invitation from Varsden Art College abroad and had hopes of competing in ballet at Metshire Palace - an unparalleled honor for any aspiring ballerina.

She believed that winning the championship would make old Mr. Foley finally see her worthiness as Kelvin's wife-to-be.

However, fate can be cruel sometimes; while traveling through a mountainous road section on a car ride, Abbie encountered an accident where rocks fell onto both legs which were essential for dancing - something more painful than dying on the spot itself.

Because of this tragedy, she missed out on both Varsden Art College and competition opportunities; however, it was Kelvin who gave her hope for survival when no one else could have helped during such times.

"Kelvin... does this mean I can never dance again?" asked Abbie tearfully countless times before he finally replied with conviction, "I will make sure you stand on stage again."

He kept his promise. Three years later, despite not being able to dance anymore due to injury, Abbie became the teacher hired by Varsden Art College.

Abbie once again became the center of public attention. At twenty-three, she was young and talented, and her unfortunate background and life story piqued the interest of many men.

Abbie thought that she could finally match up well with Kelvin, so she quit her position in Varsden Art College which cost Kelvin two hundred million dollars to get it for her sake!

She returned to her home country, but she didn't expect to hear the news that Kelvin was going to marry someone else.

That girl was only seventeen years old and hadn't fully developed yet. It was said that she had poor grades and caused trouble by fighting everywhere.

Even old Mr. Foley couldn't look at herself, why would he be interested in such a girl? She refused to accept it.

However, when she saw Cheyenne's face, Abbie felt threatened for the first time.

Cheyenne was different from the other women who she easily dismissed before. She was confident, stunningly beautiful with a fiery personality combined with sweetness and exuded youthfulness that made people happy just by looking at her.

At only seventeen years old, it was hard to imagine how much of a beauty she would become once fully grown.

In terms of appearance, Abbie was insecure because her parents did not give her good looks and plastic surgery was something that high society despised.

Her mother warned her from an early age, "Abbie, do you know what a woman's greatest weapon is?"

The five-year-old girl shook her head. "I don't know."

"It's beauty! I am plain-looking, which is why your father has an affair with a more beautiful woman."

"Unluckily, you're not blessed by heaven like me. You're not pretty so you lose the biggest advantage as a woman."

The little girl didn't understand what "biggest advantage" meant; all she heard was her mommy saying "you're not pretty".

In fact, she noticed this problem too because in kindergarten no one played with her; they preferred playing with the prettier girls instead.

When everyone left after class ended one day, Abbie threw the attractive toy belonging to another child into the pond behind school, thinking if there were no more toys, then everyone would notice and play with her instead.

But nothing changed.
