She Became Rich After Divorce (Cheyenne and Kelvin) novel Chapter 292

Chapter 292: Being Despised

Before Cheyenne could inquire, footsteps approached from outside the door. It sounded like more than one person was coming.

At the doorway, three figures appeared, walking closer with some disarray and commotion. Leading the group was George, dressed in a simple casual gray shirt paired with slacks. He looked notably lighter and somewhat aged from before.

To his left was the elegantly dressed Malaya, wearing a Chanel-inspired suit dress, carrying a classic black-and-white Chanel handbag and stylish white stiletto heels. She exuded an aura of sophistication and professionalism, resembling a career woman.

To his right stood Nora, appearing soft and gentle, radiating a warm and tender demeanor. She held a high-end black handbag and offered a bright smile.

Seemingly surprised to find unexpected visitors at Cheyenne's place, the trio paused for a moment. George, confident and composed, approached and shook hands with both men, while a glimmer of hidden intent shone in his eyes behind the glasses.

"Master Davon, hello. I am George, the CEO of the Lawrence Group and Cheyenne's father."

"Hmm," Davon responded with a hint of scorn as he leaned back in the sofa, crossing his arms and legs in a nonchalant manner.

Davon had already gathered information about Cheyenne's family situation - her mother's early death, her father's lack of involvement, her stepmother's favoritism, and her half-siblings' dislike for her. George's sudden appearance raised suspicions about his intentions.

George also noticed Omari, seated at the other end of the couch, and hesitated for a moment. He surveyed Omari, who appeared equally distinguished and had a handsome face that didn't resemble an ordinary person.

"And who might this be?" George inquired.

Omari courteously smiled at George. He had a slim yet stylish presence, and his lips parted gently as he spoke.

"Hello, Mr. Lawrence. I'm Omari, a lawyer."

Upon hearing that Omari was a lawyer, Nora's face displayed a clear expression of disdain. She looked at Cheyenne with a mocking expression.

"Is this the lawyer you hired for your good friend, Kate?"

Nora heard that the Mathews family had hired Zechariah Jacobs, one of the most renowned criminal defense lawyers in the country.

To be frank, the lawyer standing next to Cheyenne appeared too young, with rather delicate features and fair skin, quite the typical "pretty boy" look. How could he possibly stand a chance against Zechariah Jacobs?

George's attitude towards Omari seemed to cool down after learning that he was a lawyer. He started chatting with Davon instead. The latter's purpose for today was to inquire about Iker's leg condition. Who would want to engage in idle chatter with this old man?

Cheyenne couldn't help but let out a discreet, scornful chuckle. These people truly were clueless. The Lara family's influence in Onistead was no less significant than that of the Todd family. Omari himself owned a high-end law firm with annual earnings in the billions, rivaling ten Lawrence families combined. They seemed to think that Mr. Lara was just an ordinary attorney, but they couldn't have been more wrong.

Despite being underestimated, Omari still wore warm smile. He met Malaya and Nora's appraising gazes with grace.

Nearby, George's insincere flattery made it seem like he was glued to Davon. "Master Davon, you're quite the go-getter and quite the young talent. I've heard you're currently managing a stable with over a dozen affiliated companies. It's truly impressive."

"Mr. Lawrence, you're too kind. It's all thanks to the hard work of my company's employees... By the way, Miss Lawrence, may I ask about my older brother..."

Davon patiently contained his frustration and replied in a dispassionate tone. Just as he was about to inquire about Iker's condition, he was caught off guard by Malaya's sudden interjection.
