She Became Rich After Divorce (Cheyenne and Kelvin) novel Chapter 48

Chapter 48: You Have a Death Wish?

Even Adrian became a little bit disdainful. He himself graduated from one of top medical universities after all.

I really don't understand why Layne would let his own granddaughter stoop so low.

She has such a stunning face, but can only be a brainless eye candy. No wonder Kelvin chose to divorce her.

There are many beautiful women in the world, but when it comes to marrying, naturally one must find someone who can be of help.

Kai wasn't too surprised by this. He simply had no interest in Cheyenne.

After all, Layne was the one treating Iker's illness.

"Alright, Butler, go remind Iker. Why hasn't he come?" he said in a deep voice, instantly turning the awkward atmosphere at the dining table around and leaving only seriousness and gloominess behind.

After several minutes passed by, the old butler who had just been dismissed returned.

With a melancholy expression on his face, he walked over beside Kai and bent down to whisper in his ear. It caused Kai's anger to suddenly flare up.

Suddenly, Kai slammed his hand on the table. The sound of clattering cutlery echoed through the room, causing everyone to sit up straight and fall silent.

It seemed like Davon had anticipated this outcome. He casually fiddled with his tall glass in hand, which was filled with a light yellow champagne that swirled around in a small vortex as he moved it.

His upturned eyes were reflected on the transparent glass, and his smile was cold.

Kai's furious voice sounded next to Cheyenne's ear, even shaking the villa's hall slightly.

The crystal chandelier trembled slightly as if caught in an earthquake while casting dazzling shadows all around them.

"What is he doing? Tell him that he must attend today's family banquet!" Kai roared angrily.

"If he doesn't come, then drag him here by force!"

Seeing how angry Kai was getting, Erica grabbed onto his arm with her soft hands and cooed, "Darling, what are you so upset about? Maybe Iker is just shy or something. Let it go."

Ever since Isabella passed away, the relationship between Kai and Iker had been strained.

With more children being born into Kai's household over time, Iker rarely came home or attend any family banquets. Everyone had grown accustomed to not having him there anyway.

Today, Iker was asked to attend the banquet because Layne and Cheyenne came here to treat his illness.

It was really ungrateful of him.

Thalia disliked Iker since he caused her son Davon to lose many opportunities and be ridiculed as an illegitimate child.

Three years ago, Iker became disabled and she was the happiest about it.

At this moment, she didn't forget to add insult to injury. "What's there to be angry about? It's not like you don't know he has a bad temper."

She spoke lightly but her sarcasm was not hidden at all.

"Thalia, why bother? Darling is already angry enough. Adding fuel to the fire will only make things worse," Erica clenched her fists and narrowed her eyes unhappily.

Thalia looked at her coldly. "I'm just stating a fact."

"Enough! Both of you shut up!" The man felt annoyed by their argument and felt embarrassed in front of Layne and Cheyenne.

"I'm sorry, old Mr. Edwards, for making you witness this."
