Chapter 455: Mr. Foley is Chasing Miss Lawrence Not long after, Abbie indeed arrived, but she cin a high-profile manner as Master Vincent's companion.
Vincent was dressed in a black suit, while Abbie wore her usual elegant white long dress. Black and white, a timeless combination.
The two of them walked hand in hand, looking like a perfectly matched couple.
Teagan smiled and hurriedly went to greet them, “Mr. Foley, Master Vincent, welcome, please take a seat.” As his gaze swept behind him to Cheyenne and Abbie, a slight expression of surprise flashed across his face, as if he was surprised that it was Cheyenne following Kelvin instead of Miss Berry. Abbie didn't expect to encounter Cheyenne here.
With a quick glance, she saw the "Starry Night" blue haute couture dress that Cheyenne was wearing, and her hand involuntarily tightened.
This dress was something that she had been wanting. She had mentioned it to Kelvin, thinking that he would buy it for her.
Who would have thought that Cheyenne would be the one wearing it now? The resentment and envy of having something that should have been hers but was snatched away by someone else spread in Abbie's eyes, and her gaze towards Cheyenne turned cold.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBut Cheyenne just turned back with a gentle, meaningful smile, and said, "Miss Berry, it has been a while. I didn't expect you to have such a good relationship with Master Vincent." Abbie didn't say anything in response, standing in place with a somewhat aloof attitude that made it clear she looked down on Cheyenne, making things awkward.
Vincent could only elegantly answer her question, "We've known each other since we were young. We reunited on my return to the country, and since I needed a female companion with me, I invited Abbie." His words served as a reminder to Cheyenne.
Abbie had lived with the Foley family for several years, so she would know Kelvin and naturally know Vincent as well.
That explained why Abbie was able to obtain Misty Forest.
Lost in thought, Cheyenne suddenly heard Vincent's teasing laughter, and uncomfortable gazes both fell on her. One gaze carried a hint of scrutiny.
The other gaze seemed to want to tear her limb from limb... Needless to say, she knew it was Abbie. Cheyenne thought of something fun, and a delicate smile appeared on her exquisite face as she took the initiative to reach out her tender and slender hand, linking her arm with Kelvin's. "As you all thought, Mr. Foley and I are currently... um..." She was about to say "friends with benefits," but before she finished saying the word "friends," Kelvin covered her red lips with his hand.
With one hand, he embraced her petite body from behind and answered calmly, "I'm pursuing her." As his words fell, silence descended.
Cheyenne widened her almond-shaped eyes, her eyelids fluttered slightly, and no one could see the complex emotions in her eyes.
The people around her were all shocked.
Mr. Foley had openly admitted that he was pursuing his former wife! As the saying goes, a good horse doesn't graze on the spatch of grass twice.
And Kelvin, the wealthiest man in Akloit, had countless beautiful women throwing themselves at him. Yet he was pursuing Cheyenne.
A woman he had abandoned.
Abbie was even more furious, but years of cultivation kept her from bursting into anger in public like a shrew. Otherwise, she would have roared in anger. Why? Had Kelvin truly fallen in love with this bitch, Cheyenne? Abbie's red eyes were filled with bloodshot veins, and her cold voice sounded like a terrifying demon crawling out of hell, "Why her? Even if it's not me, it can't be Cheyenne! Why her?" Kelvin frowned and tightened his grip on Cheyenne's shoulder, his voice nonchalant yet firm, "It can only be her. And it won't be anyone else! Especially not you." Abbie's suppressed emotions completely broke in that moment. She fiercely bit her lip, feeling the metallic taste spreading in her mouth, stimulating her tense nerves. She wanted to drink Cheyenne's blood! She wanted to tear her apart, strip away her beautiful appearance, and turn her into a lifeless corpse.
Would he still love her then? Vincent didn't like Abbie's reaction at all. She was his companion, but now she was losing control because of the news of his older brother's reunion with his ex-wife. Wasn't this smearing his face? Before Abbie could do something more extreme, Vincent took the initiative to break the eerie atmosphere. He smiled brightly and said, "That's great. Grandfather likes Miss Lawrence very much. If my older brother and Miss Lawrence are together, it would be a match made in heaven." Kelvin smiled, and his cool voice carried a hint of sincere anticipation, which caught Vincent off guard. "Thanks for your kind words." Cheyenne couldn't help but feel her heart sway as she saw his series of reactions. This guy must be acting! His acting skills were too good. If she hadn't long given up on him, she might have actually believed his nonsense. Looking at the gloomy expression on Abbie's face, Cheyenne had a ridiculous thought in her mind. 'It must be that his first love secretly fell in love with someone else, so in order to win her back, he deliberately got close tolike this.
His goal was to make Abbie jealous.' Looking at Abbie's sullen face, Cheyenne further confirmed her suspicions.
The conversation here caught Danielle's attention, and she slowly walked over amidst a group of high-class ladies.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe scene was like she was skind of favored imperial consort making a grand entrance.
Upon seeing Cheyenne in front of her, Danielle immediately pointed at her and reprimanded those around aloud, severe her in voice, "Who invited her? The Parry family's banquet is not welcoming these despicable women." Her voice was loud, and her words were sarcastic, showing no respect for Cheyenne.
The others covered their mouths and laughed, eagerly waiting for the show to start.
Kelvin did not hesitate to step forward and stood tall in front of Cheyenne, his cold gaze looking down on Danielle from above.
"She is my companion. Since the Parry family doesn't welcour presence, we can leave." He used "we" instead of "me," indicating that he intended to act in unison with Cheyenne.
With that said, he actually took Cheyenne's hand and turned to leave.
Teagan, of course, couldn't let him leave. In fact, he had finally managed to arrange for Kelvin to attend this banquet through Master Vincent.
"Mr. Foley, you've misunderstood.
You are an esteemed guest of the Parry family. My sister is young and ignorant. Please don't take her words seriously."
"Young? I remember she's almost graduating from college. She's so emotionally unintelligent, brainless. If she wasn't the lady of the Parry family, I'm afraid she would have been killed a long tago."
