Cheyenne didn't want to discuss the past anymore, so she diverted the conversation with a cigarette in her mouth and her hands crossed. "You asked me why I went to TWILIGHT, right?"
"Very simple, because someone wants to kill me. The person behind that car accident is associated with TWILIGHT," she said, and to Kelvin's surprise, she even laughed. There was a hint of unexpected expression in her radiant smile. "I never thought I was worth so much, five hundred million! These guys really went all out."
As soon as she finished speaking, Kelvin couldn't contain his anger and shouted, "Enough!" His sudden outburst bewildered Cheyenne.
She exhaled the smoke, flicked the ash, and watched as they fell into the ashtray one by one. She looked up at him, her eyes filled with confusion.
Kelvin clenched his fists, the veins protruding on the back of his hands, resembling thick earthworms. He glared at her and scolded in a cold voice, "I can't stand your terrifying calmness and your pretending that you don't care! Cheyenne, can't you take this seriously?"
Her life was in danger now! Someone who could spend five hundred million to kill her was definitely not an ordinary person. In other words, her life could end at any moment. But what about her? She was still laughing and joking, as if discussing the life and death of others.
He had witnessed firsthand how she escaped from the clutches of death in the previous car accident. After she came back, he was restless for several days.
Cheyenne tilted her eyes at him, slowly crushed the half-smoked cigarette in her hand, and pressed it into the ashtray.
A wisp of smoke lingered in the air, changing its shape with the wind. Amidst his restlessness, she remained terrifyingly calm and lightly chuckled, "You already hated me from the start, didn't you? Regardless of whether I'm like this or not, right?"
"Besides, I am the one being hunted. I'm not anxious at all. Why are you so excited?"
Was she mocking him for being meddlesome?
Kelvin also realized that he had been somewhat excessive. Cheyenne's indifference towards life and death caused a pang of pain in his heart.
He slowly sat back down, his thin lips tightly pressed into a straight line. Struggling and darkness intertwined in his eyes, trapping him in an invisible net.
TWILIGHT wouldn't act rashly, and there was no reason for Cheyenne, who had been stable for so many years, to offend them.
Cheyenne appeared to have encountered mysterious people since she started treating Iker's illness.
Kelvin investigated the Todd family and even personally visited them.
Their situation was far more complicated. It was not a coincidence to be bitten by a snake for no reason. If Kelvin's expectations were correct, Cheyenne must have offended Master Davon, as she stood in the way of Davon's quest for dominance over the Todd family.
Kelvin took a deep breath and quickly contemplated a plan. He sternly instructed her, "Cheyenne, give up on treating Master Iker's illness." This way, she could distance herself from the Todd family. He would arrange for her to leave the country, where those people couldn't find her. Once the storm passed, they could all forget about it.
"I won't give up on treating Master Iker's illness," she replied firmly.
