She Became Rich After Divorce (Cheyenne and Kelvin) novel Chapter 237

Chapter 237: Ungrateful Girl

Cody couldn't help but curse Kelvin in his heart for using a woman to go against him. And Abbie, his dim-witted niece, made him furious with her newfound confidence. Did she forget how much he had done for the company over the years? Would Kelvin even keep her around if it weren't for Cody's contributions?

This ungrateful niece was now even teaming up with outsiders to take him down.

Despite his boiling anger, there was still a third person present and Cody had to maintain his composure and put on a stiff smile. His face was covered in wrinkles and flabby flesh hung from his neck like that of a pregnant woman five or six months along.

"Abbie, are you not used to living outside? Why don't you move back home so my wife and I can take care of you?"

Only now did he think about inviting her back to the Berry Villa?

Abbie smiled coldly with calm eyes. "Uncle Cody, you've worked hard all these years. My health has improved enough that I can help support the Berry family according to my father's wishes."

"You're getting older too; it's time for you to rest and take care of yourself."

Compared to Foster who had exceptional talent and vision, Cody had always been spoiled since childhood - using his intelligence only on how best he could benefit himself at others' expense.

When the Foley Group was just starting out as a small company, Foster saw its potential growth opportunity which led him selling off his real estate properties and houses before investing in it instead.

It turned out that the Foley Group didn't disappoint him. Day by day, it grew stronger under Kelvin's leadership.

When his younger brother Cody graduated from college without finding work opportunities elsewhere and returned home dependent on their parents' support; Foster brought him to Akloit where he started working at the Foley Group from scratch as an ordinary salesman.

However, an arrogant-minded young man like himself felt humiliated by his big brother's decision - why should he be leader while I'm just an ordinary worker?

He'd never been satisfied since then...

An unexpected car accident took away Foster's life soon after. Cody threatened and coerced his sister-in-law into marrying someone far away while ignoring his sickly niece whom he didn't care much about anyway...

As long as she obediently acted like a puppet and listened to him, then there wouldn't be any mistreatment towards her...

But little did he know this girl would have an ace up her sleeve...

"This..." Cody wanted to say something more, but Abbie didn't want to hear him play the emotional card anymore. She prepared to leave with Mr. Smith.

Before leaving, she stopped and looked back at Cody with a delicate and weak appearance, saying softly, "I hope Uncle Cody will sign voluntarily. Otherwise, if we end up in court, the entire Berry family's reputation will be ruined. Don't forget that Jane is about to get engaged to the Parry family."

If the Parry family found out at this time that Cody was just a fake rich man with no real wealth behind him, this marriage would fall apart.

At these words, Cody's smile completely disappeared from his face and a fleeting look of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

"Are you threatening me?" he asked as he put his cigar into his mouth and pulled out a silver vintage car-shaped lighter from his suit pocket.

"Snap." The blue flame reflected in his pupils without any warmth.

He had done things like killing before.

Abbie widened her eyes and lowered her head helplessly as she looked down at her shoes. "Uncle Cody, you misunderstand me. I'm just giving you a friendly reminder."

As soon as she finished speaking and turned around, someone suddenly slapped her across the face without warning.

Because she wasn't prepared for it at all, she took the full force of it on her fair face which quickly showed five clear finger marks. It was obvious how much strength had been used by that person.
