She Became Rich After Divorce (Cheyenne and Kelvin) novel Chapter 490

Chapter 490: Madam Thalia's True Colors

During these four years, Sophie would call to check in and send gifts back home. Even so, Kai felt satisfied.

Now she heard that his father was not feeling well, and Sophie sought a secret remedy from a Jostranan doctor and sending the medicine to the Todd family.

In her letter, she mentioned that she had almost completed her studies and would return home soon. She looked forward to reuniting with the family.

Sophie was around the same age as Erica, and they grew up together since childhood. They were so close that they slept in the same bed and wore one pair of pants.

After she went abroad for studies four years ago, Erica became like a mother figure to her. Their sisterly bond broke apart because of this.

Even when Erica passed away, Sophie did not attend her funeral. Kai knew that she probably still harbored resentment towards Erica but didn't blame her for not coming back. He wanted her to focus on completing her studies instead.

He thought Thalia had taken over the task of delivering his medicine but the more he took this medicine, the more he felt something was wrong with his body.

He secretly visited Layne two days ago, but Layne refused to see him after Cheyenne fell into the sea.

The attending physician at Hopedale Hospital told him there were signs of declining vision due to thinning retinas which could eventually lead to blindness. It wasn't an accidental event; preliminary judgment suggested it was caused by medication.

Kai immediately suspected Thalia's daily medication requests for himself.

When she brought medication again, he didn't take it but sent her away and wrapped it up in tissue paper. Then he gave it to Adrian, his trusted confidant for testing, without realizing Adrian had colluded with Thalia!

That night after their intimate rendezvous, Adrian told Thalia that she's been exposed and suggested she swapped the supplements regularly consumed by Kai with "Misty Forest", the toxic pills.

The doctor advised Kai against taking such medication anymore as it could be life-threatening!

After all these events unfolded one after another, Kai couldn't believe that someone who he loved dearly like Sophie wanted him dead!

He continued investigating, only then discovering another shocking secret: Erica did not commit suicide; instead killed by his own son Davon!

In Erica's belongings, he found a recording of her being forced by Davon and his mother to make a phone call betraying Iker.

They were also the ones who orchestrated the car accident three years ago.

But with so many years gone by, Erica and the driver involved in the incident have both passed away, rendering this recording useless in court.

No evidence to prove anything.

Kai had been enduring his pain these past few days without taking any medication.

"I don't want to take any more medicine. Don't have Sophie send it anymore," Kai said as soon as Thalia entered the room.

As soon as he spoke, Thalia slammed her things on the table with an extremely loud noise that surprised him. She glared at him and asked, "What are you doing?"

Thalia sneered and wiped off some dust from herself with a plain white handkerchief before acting arrogantly in front of him for the first time ever.

"Not going to take it? This medicine is for your own good! You must take it! If you don't die now, how will my son inherit our family property?" she exclaimed angrily.

"You!" Kai laughed out loud and clenched his fists before punching his pillow hard. He then questioned her coldly, "Well done! You finally showed your true colors!"

"What family property? It has been divided up long ago! What Iker owns now is what he deserves plus some that he earned himself while another part was brought over by Isabella Wood as dowry."
