She Became Rich After Divorce (Cheyenne and Kelvin) novel Chapter 497

Chapter 497: Press Conference of the Todd Family

At the Todd mansion, The hall was ablaze with light, as bright as daylight. The crystal chandelier in the hall reflected colorful lights, which shed on the fair and delicate face of a man, whose red lips resembled those of a bloodthirsty vampire.

He was wearing a white shirt, leaning back with one leg crossed over the other on the luxurious sofa. His one arm was outstretched and resting on the back of the sofa. In his other hand, he held a tall glass, half-filled with red wine. He swirled the glass gently, and the wine flowed under the light as if carrying a golden gleam.

The blonde female model sitting next to him was seductive, constantly enticing him, but the man remained indifferent.

The clear and hurried sound of high heels on the floor was heard, and in the next moment, a figure in a moon-white dress appeared on the spiral staircase.

The bloodstains on her clothes caught Davon's eyes, pausing his actions, and he spoke with a hint of surprise. "Mom, what's going on?"

His mother had never appeared before him in such a bedraggled state. These bloodstains... could she be injured somewhere?

Her son's display of concern towards her made Thalia feel somewhat comforted, but when she glanced coldly at the model next to him, her face instantly turned cold and stern.

She walked from the stairway to the sofa with her arms crossed and gave the woman a slap. The woman, bewildered by the unexpected hit, gingerly touched her swollen face, glanced at Thalia, and then looked somewhat aggrievedly at Davon.

The man didn't say a word, but signaled her to leave.

The space next to him was now empty, and Thalia strode and sat in his embrace. Davon, with his hand on the sofa, naturally embraced her waist, appearing quite intimate. If anyone saw this, they would undoubtedly find it odd.

Thalia's face was cloudy as she coldly cast a glance at the departing figure and quirked an ironic smile. "How can you keep finding these fickle women outside?"

Knowing that his mother disapproved of his affairs, Davon lightly smiled without any sincerity and assured her, "Mom, don't worry. I'm just having fun with them. You are the woman I love most in this world."

As he spoke, he leaned in and quickly planted a kiss on Thalia's cheek.

Finally, the woman's mood improved, and she smiled coquettishly and lightly patted his shoulder. "You're so annoying, using this trick to fool me again."

Her charming and coquettish appearance didn't resemble that of a middle-aged woman at all, but rather a young girl in her twenties.

Davon, however, had grown accustomed to it. "How could that be? I speak from the heart. By the way, Mom, what's with the bloodstains on your clothes? Are you injured?"

He reached out a long and knuckle-defined finger to touch the bloodstains on her clothes.

He felt it. It was somewhat sticky and still warm. Obviously, it was freshly stained.

Thalia hesitated for a second, and with a subtle curve at the corner of her lips, she looked at him calmly and solemnly announced in his ear, "This blood is from your little brother and little sister."

"What!" Davon was astonished, and his lips tightened into a straight line. He instinctively clenched the glass in his hand and seemed on the verge of a breakdown.

The confusion and hesitation in his eyes reflected in Thalia's eyes. Her smile deepened, and she gently helped him tidy his collar, her actions as gentle as a caring mother concerned about her son.

"What's wrong? Do you have something to tell Mom? Your little brother and sister cannot survive. Otherwise... this vast family fortune will have to be divided into two parts."
