Book:Became A Queen After divorce Published:2024-6-3

“Ah… What, what old lover? Don’t say it so vulgarly, I don’t like her at all.”
“Stop talking nonsense, get to the point!”
“Yes, yes, I heard that their whole family moved to Vrisa.”
Candace family, the Mccarty family was a prominent overseas Chulae family in the local area, and you could easily find out their exact location with a little inquiry.
Old Bray had just finished speaking when he heard Paisley’s sarcastic remarks, filled with irony.
“Oh, don’t you pretend not to know? How come you suddenly know now? You’re in Vrisa, it’s such a good place, it’s a pity if you don’t go with them.”
Upon hearing this, Old Bray shook his head helplessly.
He knew he couldn’t tell the truth.
Look at this… she’s angry again, and he probably won’t be acknowledged for at least ten days or half a month.
“Sigh.”
Cheyenne, without any sense of guilt as the “culprit,” decided to drag Old Bray into the mess completely.
“Old Bray, I have a request that I hope you can consider.”
Seeing her serious expression, Old Bray didn’t need to think to know what she was going to say next, and shook his head.
“No, no way, I’m not going to that damn place, don’t even think about it!”
“We’ll pay you!”
Old Bray hesitated for a moment but still shook his head.
“That won’t work either. I don’t need money. Picking up garbage is just my hobby!”
Even if he needed money, he wouldn’t risk his life by going to that kind of place. He wasn’t afraid of earning money and not being able to spend it.
He was already at this age, and all he wanted was to live his later years in peace.
Cheyenne let out a deep sigh and before entering the laboratory, she went to see the patients in the hospital ward.
They were tormented by parasites and were even showing signs of depression and suicidal tendencies.
“Old Bray, I’m begging you. Don’t worry… We just need you to help introduce us to the Mccarty family, and we will ensure your safety.”
Asking him to meet with the Mccarty family wasn’t terrifying enough?
Old Bray’s face was filled with refusal.
“No, not possible. If you can’t even guarantee your own safety as a young girl, how can I trust you?”
Upon hearing this, Iker suddenly reached for his pistol at his waist.
With a loud slapping sound, he placed the gun on the nearby metal table, creating a loud noise.
This scared everyone.
Old Bray’s eyebrows twitched as he looked at the dark gun.
He couldn’t help but think, “Does he want to use this to threaten me so that I can agree to their request?”
Just before Old Bray was about to speak, Iker spoke.
“I’ll temporarily entrust this gun to you, Old Bray. First scenario: you can use it for self-defense.”
“Second scenario: if I put your life in danger on this trip, I allow you to use it to take my life!”
Tsk tsk… Playing it big!
But, it had to be said that it was difficult not to admire someone so charismatic.
Even Paisley’s eyes lit up, surprisingly looking at Iker, and then she took the initiative to reach for the gun.
“I’ll say yes on his behalf!”
Old Bray was wordless and thought, “You’re completely swayed by this young man’s appearance!”
But regardless, Old Bray finally agreed to them.
Cheyenne also breathed a sigh of relief and gave a thumbs-up to Iker.
Thanks to him, he recognized that Old Bray was someone who couldn’t be persuaded easily.
Time rewinds three days ago, Mountmend.
Finally, it was the morning of the day they were going to “see the goods.”
Kelvin, Uriel, and Alisha set off towards the mountain road under Camren’s lead.
Before leaving, Kiara insisted on coming along.
As the daughter of the village chief, it seemed that Camren had some interest in her, so he was the happiest when Kiara suggested joining them.
“The mountain road is slippery after last night’s rain, and the road there is steep and dangerous. It would be better for a delicate little lady like you not to go.”
Kiara got angry and raised her fist, saying, “Don’t forget, I grew up here too. I can even walk that road blindfolded. What’s there to be afraid of?”
“Well… then, come with me. If you get tired, I can carry you.”
“You know how good Camren is in terms of stamina. It’s completely fine, hehe.”
While they were talking, Camren flirtatiously smiled at Kiara and even threw a suggestive look.
His actions were as sultry as his appearance.
Alisha almost vomited.
Kiara intentionally glanced at Kelvin.
She saw him walking ahead without any expression, as if he hadn’t heard Camren teasing her.
She couldn’t help but feel a little disappointed, and then angry!
As the village belle, she had plenty of suitors around her.
Camren was just one of her many pursuers.
To teasingly stimulate Mr. Foley, Kiara deliberately softened her tone and responded to Camren’s suggestion.
She giggled, “Camren, how would I know if your stamina is good or not? You should ask your wife.”
“Kiara, I just want you to know that. When we come back, we can try it in the small forest.”
“Annoying, come on, let’s go.”
The coquettish tone made everyone have goosebumps.
And this welcoming attitude meant she was indirectly telling Camren that she agreed, right?
What can a man and a woman do when they go to a small forest together?
They were all adults, and they understood what was implied.
Uriel deliberately coughed a few times to ease the awkward atmosphere and laughed, “Camren is really lucky. If Kiara was interested in me, I would also be tempted. Haha.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a pain on his foot.
Instinctively, he looked up and met a puffed-up face. The woman’s lips parted, silently uttering one word.
He understood it. The word was “pervert!”
Uriel was speechless.
He was just joking, how did he become a pervert?
Even if he was indeed a pervert, she didn’t have to stomp on him so viciously. It hurts!
After stepping on him, Alisha felt regret for her abrupt behavior. Why did she suddenly get so angry?
They were just colleagues working together, nothing more.
After this mission, they would go their separate ways.
Perhaps… they would never meet again in their lifetime.
“I was lost in thought just now, and accidentally stepped on you. I’m truly sorry.”
After saying that, Alisha, afraid to see his angry expression, quickened her pace and left Uriel far behind.
Looking at her resolute figure leaving, Uriel realized that she was angry.
However, he didn’t understand why she was mad.
So confusing!
Kelvin coldly watched their interactions.
Whether it was the entanglement between Camren and Kiara, or the budding secret admiration between Uriel and Alisha, he didn’t envy them; he had Cheyenne.
Thinking of Cheyenne, Kelvin’s mood instantly became joyful, like seeing a brilliant rainbow.
His smile was silent yet warm.
