She Became Rich After Divorce by Georgina Lane

Chapter 224: Mr. Todd Is Going to Live with Cheyenne The fleeting expression of pain on her face did not escape Kelvin's eyes, and as he thought about the reason behind it, a feeling of guilt spread within him. For three years, his grandfather had been urging them to have a child.

Cheyenne had wondered what their child would look like since the first day she married him.

The answer was Kelvin's cold indifference.

After each tthey were intimate, he would get up and dress himself in a cold manner before throwing birth control pills at her.

"Take it." "Honey, can I not take it? Grandfather hopes..." He suddenly becfurious, grabbing her chin with his big hand and squeezing hard.

His low and heartless voice rang in her ear like a sharp knife piercing through her heart.

"Shut up! Any woman can give birth to my child except you, Cheyenne. Do you understand?" Later on, without him having to say anything more, Cheyenne would prepare the pills beforehand and swallow them before he arrived so that Kelvin wouldn't be displeased again.

If only he didn't despise her so much; perhaps their child would have been similar in size to Lewis'. Unfortunately, there are no ifs.

From the moment she decided to divorce him, Cheyenne was no longer that humble girl who loved him unconditionally. She wanted to be a queen herself! Iker didn't know what happened before but he knew the one who could make Cheyenne show such sadness must be Kelvin.

He timely grabbed hold of Cheyenne's arm with his big hand and said in a deep voice devoid of any emotion: "I don't have anywhere else to stay now, so I'll stay at your place for a few days." Erica's eyes flashed with a glint as she looked between the two without saying anything.

Kai looked embarrassed because Iker would rather live outside than stay in the large Todd mansion.

Cheyenne wore an astonished expression as if asking why.

A moment later, one security guard placed an unburnt gasoline barrel right in front of everyone. This fire wasn't accidental but rather premeditated murder by someone! Kai's face immediately darkened. He stared fiercely at the gasoline barrel and said through gritted teeth, "Investigate. Whoever dares mess with the Todd family must have a death wish!" Cheyenne was speechless. Before, when Omari mentioned the situation in the Todd family was complicated, she was dismissive. But now it seemed Omari told the truth and someone even dared harm Iker. And if Iker died, all her efforts would be for nothing.

She waved her hand in resignation. "You can stay at my place if you want, just remember to pay rent." Without hesitation, Tanner pulled out a check and handed it over with both hands respectfully. "Miss Lawrence, please take a look." Wow. They had planned this ahead of time.

Cheyenne glanced at the check and counted carefully. "One... two... six... seven! Holy shit, seven digits? Master Iker is quite generous! You can stay as long as you want in my villa; there are plenty of rooms." Iker wasn't surprised by Cheyenne's behavior; he just snorted and told Tanner to pack up their things.

There wasn't much left to pack since most of it had been burnt anyway.

Iker wasn't short on money; he could buy whatever he needed again.

Kelvin watched as Cheyenne took the check and stuffed it into her pocket before smiling sweetly at another man.

His handsface turned dark with anger as his veins bulged on his forehead. He gritted his teeth and said coldly, "No way!" Everyone turned their attention towards him as Kelvin clenched his fists under his suit jacket while pursing his lips into a straight line.

Cheyenne sneered sarcastically. "Mr. Foley, how is this any of your business?" "You're a girl; what kind of image does that give off if he stays with you?" "So what? There are so many rooms in the villa; Master Iker is a gentleman - I trust that much." A gentleman? Iker raised an eyebrow at her description - no one had ever called him that before...

She was wrong though...

He was no gentleman, but more like a demon! The decision was made. Even if Kelvin didn't like it, there was nothing he could do about it now.

Davon didn't say anything but kept smiling without sincerity on his face while emitting an aura of coldness around him.

"Well then, Miss Lawrence, please take good care of Iker," Davon said cryptically while extending out one hand towards Cheyenne for a handshake. When shaking hands, he used one finger to lightly brush against hers as if implying something.

Cheyenne pretended not to understand and withdrew her hand, placing it behind her back and wiping bes.pal_'t disgustedar waster Davon, thank you for your kindness. Master Iker is my friend, so this is only natural," Cheyenne replied with a smile, turning around to see Kelvin's dark face. Her mood inexplicably improved.

She took the initiative to stand in front of Iker instead of Tanner and said, "Master Iker, let's go." With that said, she really pushed the Wheelchair away without even looking at Kelvin once. The latter was so angry that his deep-set eyes narrowed slightly as his cold aura intensified. At the Lawrence Villa, Layne was waiting there with a pile of medicinal herbs on the table in front of him while holding a small notebook and calculating something with an angry expression on his face. "Grandpa." Upon hearing Cheyenne's voice, Layne instinctively looked up at her and felt relieved when he saw her face. All his annoyance and worry had reduced somewhat.

"Cheyenne, you cjust in time! Look at these medicinal herbs... They were supposed to be used for Master Iker yesterday but who knew someone would set fire to his residence? So many herbs were destroyed!" He had collected them painstakingly himself but now they were all gone. It was not just a matter of money but all his hard work. If he caught the culprit yesterday, he would definitely get his revenge.

Cheyenne also looked at the medicinal herbs on the table, thankfully realizing that most important ones were still there.

The herbs were prepared in duplicate. Now one portion was missing. It meant their success rate had decreased and Cheyenne must make it on her first try.

Tanner's bright eyes dimmed along with those burnt medicinal herbs; Iker had finally made it here after much effort only for their hopes to disappear before their very eyes within seconds. No doubt this must have been hardest for Iker among everyone present here today.
