“Does it hurt?”
“No, it doesn’t. This is Cheyenne’s gift to me.”
Why did he sound a bit boastful?
In the end, Cheyenne gave up on this punishment plan since she realized that wasn’t a punishment towards Kelvin.
“Let’s go home. Our child is waiting for us.”
Kelvin smiled and looked down at the bite mark on his collarbone, laughing with joy all over his face. “Okay, let’s continue when we get home.”
Cheyenne thought, “Who the hell wants to continue with you?”
When they got home, she made him go sleep in the study room. Yes, that’s what she decided!
The next day at 9 am.
The October sun was still a bit hot. Cheyenne thought she would sleep well after sending Kelvin to the study room last night.
In fact, she had insomnia last night and only fell asleep around five in the morning.
She had to get up at eight o’clock in the morning and only slept for three hours altogether. When Cierra came to wake her up, she was still feeling groggy.
But when she saw her little princess looking at her with big eyes full of grievances, Cheyenne felt guilty again.
She promised to get up quickly and go to work while buying something delicious for her on their way back from work just so that Cierra could be happy again.
After arriving at the office like a wilted flower under scorching sun rays,
Cheyenne wondered why she couldn’t sleep last night.
Was it because Kelvin wasn’t there?
No way! She wasn’t longing for his embrace! To find out what really happened last night, she decided to make Kelvin sleep in the study room tonight.
Just as Cheyenne dozed off on her desk less than ten minutes later, someone knocked on her door abruptly.
It interrupted Cheyenne’s nap time completely.
“Come in!”
As soon as someone opened the door, it turned out that a plump middle-aged woman led by a nurse came looking for her, and Cheyenne stared straight into this woman’s eyes without blinking.
“I feel like I’ve seen you somewhere before.”
Who knew that within seconds, the fat lady knelt down before her crying loudly which shook everything around them; Cheyenne was now fully awake.
“What are you doing?”
The plump woman cried bitterly apologizing profusely while explaining loudly, “Miss Lawrence, I know I’m wrong. I shouldn’t have targeted you.”
“But I’ve already been punished. Can you please forgive me?”
Upon hearing this, Cheyenne’s mind was a jumbled mess. “What are you saying? I don’t understand anything, Corinne… Is this a patient or a family member? What’s going on?”
Corinne, the nurse who had just led the chubby woman in, heard Miss Lawrence call her name and feared that she was going to take out her anger on her.
She quickly explained, “Miss Lawrence, she knelt outside the hospital crying for half a day and attracted many reporters who wanted to see you. I had no choice but to bring her here; otherwise, the hospital’s reputation would be damaged.”
“I understand. You can go now and let me talk to her.”
“Yes.”
Corinne hurriedly left with a sense of relief.
In the office now were only Cheyenne and the woman standing before her with one hand resting on the desk while supporting herself with an elegant white hand under her chin as she looked around coldly.
When Cheyenne saw that black dress on Valeria’s body, something came to her mind, causing an icy expression on Cheyenne’s face.
“It’s you! Have you forgotten what happened at the police station that day? Why did you come to my hospital and cause trouble?”
Valeria listened to Cheyenne’s words, thinking that she was trying to shift blame onto herself so Valeria secretly sneered inside.
What are you pretending for? If it weren’t for you, the Foley Group wouldn’t have gone after my husband’s company!
But now it seemed like Valeria needed something from Cheyenne so she could only lower herself humbly.
“Miss Lawrence, you’ve misunderstood me. I’m not here to cause trouble for you; rather… I need your help!”
“Your husband joined forces with Master Glenn against my Logan Group; within one day our supply chain has been cut off causing all of our partners’ contracts being canceled leading us into an economic crisis.”
No matter what methods her husband tried to apologize to both of them, he couldn’t even enter their office door.
Thinking it over, Valeria was the one who caused all this trouble. So, Henry used the threat of divorce to make her go to the hospital and apologize to Cheyenne.
The Foley Group offices were difficult places even just getting through reception but Cheyenne’s Hospital was always bustling with people coming in-and-out making it easier access.
Valeria brought along many reporters along including recording devices waiting for any opportunity to catch hold of some dirt about Cheyenne thus preventing Kelvin from retaliating against them.
Kelvin’s love towards his wife was well-known therefore there wasn’t any doubt he’d back down because of his feelings towards Cheyenne.
However, they clearly underestimated Cheyenne, thinking that she only reached her current position because of the support of the Edwards family and Kelvin. Cheyenne was not foolish. When Valeria said that Master Glenn and Kelvin were retaliating against her, she was also considering the reasons behind it.
“Oh really? Who doesn’t know that my husband and Master Glenn are at odds? How could they team up to go against a small company like yours, the Logan Group?”
“A small company like yours means nothing for my husband.”
Tsk tsk – how arrogant!
The reporters outside jotted down this statement.
Valeria, who had been humiliated, didn’t look too good. “Who says it’s impossible? In fact, they’re using our company as a pawn in their game.”
“Hehe… why don’t you tell me what you did to make Master Glenn come after you? His temper is famously mild.”
Master Glenn is mild?
Suddenly the reporters outside felt chills down their spines. When they interviewed Master Glenn before, he was so cold that he didn’t even give them a glance.
Cheyenne referred to him as mild because she was friends with Kate and Oliver was their godson.
Of course Valeria wouldn’t be foolish enough to reveal how she offended Master Glenn. Her face turned red from holding back her anger.
“Right! You can’t say anything because you feel guilty! You said my husband is targeting you but Akloit has many other companies so why would he single out yours?”
“The Foley Group has been focusing on technology for years now while your business in agriculture has nothing to do with ours. Is there any reason for us to eat into your market?”
“The market changes rapidly and poor management is common in companies these days. I suggest you go back home and work on your temper while reading more books instead of running around like nouveau riche all day long making yourself a laughingstock!”
After her speech ended, Valeria had been scolded mercilessly but still hadn’t received the answer she wanted.
She could only continue kneeling on the ground with red eyes saying, “But since yesterday, the Logan Group has been experiencing one incident after another. I don’t believe it’s just a coincidence.”
Apart from Kelvin and Master Glenn in Akloit, she couldn’t think of anyone else who would have such power over them.
