Chapter 188 Detoxification

He exuded an air of nobility and had a face that was just as handsome

as any A-list celebrity in the entertainment industry. With a net worth of

over billions, he was a golden bachelor. Who wouldn't be attracted to

such a man?

Unfortunately, he was too perfect and radiated an icy coldness that kept

people at arm's length. For years, Cheyenne had been the only woman

by his side besides Abbie.

Juliana's heart skipped a beat and she casually whispered, "Grandpa,

it's been so long since you visited the Foley Mansion. Why don't we pay

old Mr. Foley a visit?"

"Hmm?" Rex looked at her with suspicion in his eyes as if he could

read her thoughts with one glance while arching his eyebrows.

She wasn't exactly known for being polite or well-mannered; she would

even refuse to visit friends when they invited her out before.

"Why would we go visit old Mr. Foley for no reason?"

Juliana bit her lip and blushed slightly before answering like an

innocent girl, "Actually I want to see Kelvin."

She told her grandpa about how the Foley Group was looking for

someone to endorse their jewelry line and she wanted to land that

endorsement deal.

Rex became extremely angry and slammed her forehead hard enough

for it to echo throughout the room while scolding her loudly with puffed-

up cheeks, "My friendship with old Mr. Foley is purely platonic without

any ulterior motives! I won't allow you to visit him with your own

agenda.”

“Furthermore,” He continued sternly, “I forbid you from seeing Kelvin!

That boy is not someone you should mess around with."

"He may be talented but look at Cheyenne who is equally exceptional

yet still can't catch his eye? What makes you think you can compare

yourself against Cheyenne?"

When Rex mentioned Cheyenne's name so highly while simultaneously

belittling her, Juliana grew even more infuriated.

"What's wrong with me? I'm already quite famous now myself!

Cheyenne means nothing but some abandoned woman!"

“You can't say things like that!" Rex retorted firmly."Didn't you see how

well she did in today's art competition? Even I feel inferior to her!"

Juliana couldn't care less about winning two first-place awards or

earning four hundred thousand dollars through additional points

awarded by old Mr. Edwards" influence alone!

Besides, she thought, the younger generation doesn't need those

things anymore. They just need good looks, a rich husband, and never

have worry about clothes or food again!

"She's just a little talented in music, chess, calligraphy and painting.

What's so great about that?"

Rex was frustrated and pounded his chest and stomped his feet. How

could Juliana, as the lady of the Chambers family, lack ambition?

"What's so great about it? Then why don't you know how to do it?"

Juliana blushed with anger and complained to him, "Are you my

grandfather? Why are you always taking someone else's side?"

Rex didn’t bother with her now; his son and daughter-in-law had spoiled

this granddaughter.

Before leaving, he reminded Juliana again, "Remember not to provoke

Kelvin. He is not someone you can mess with."

He also needed to talk to Cheyenne about buying that piece of

calligraphy.

Hearing this warning from him made Juliana even more unwilling.

She didn't believe it!

If even Cheyenne could marry him, why couldn't she? Besides,

Cheyenne had divorced Kelvin. So what if he was with Miss Berry now?

That old woman was sickly; how could she compare with herself as a

beautiful starlet? She decided she would visit the Foley Mansion

tomorrow!

The Todd family.

Cheyenne won first place in an art competition which made headlines

on TV news.

Kai also loved calligraphy; when he saw Cheyenne's "Reign Over The

World", he really liked it.

He offered three million dollars for her work but Rex immediately looked

at Cheyenne nervously. "Miss Lawrence, can we buy your artwork

please? Our association wants to include it in the font library for future

generations’ learning."

Undoubtedly this was high praise for her work.

Cheyenne stood there, raising an eyebrow and smiling slightly - she

only wrote casually at that time but never thought that one day her work

would be added into the font library.

But she could not offend both sides, so she nodded nonchalantly. "I

agree to add my artwork into the font library free of charge.”

The words “free of charge’ impressed Rex who thought highly of her

generosity while Kai had nothing left to say.

She didn't want money.

Kai knew there was no hope for himself but still couldn't bear giving up

on that piece of art. After hesitating for a moment, he spoke up again,

"Miss Lawrence, if you have time, maybe you can write me another

character piece 'A Thousand Horses Running’, the price is up to you."

Cheyenne nodded indifferently saying something funny. “Sure thing. I'm

not short on cash right now. Let's talk when I need some money."

He laughed bitterly, teasing, "Miss Lawrence, do you ever need

money?"

With this talent, she could make money faster than a printing press.

The woman nodded seriously. “I need it."

And she needed it badly.

She had so many things she wanted to do, but the little money in her

hands was far from enough.

After speaking, she followed her grandfather Layne into Iker's Estate.

Today, Iker looked slightly better than usual.

He wore a white shirt with black suit pants. Sitting in front of the French

window, the warm sunshine outside shone on his face and made him

look even more handsome and gentle.

Cheyenne was fascinated by his appearance. She never expected that

he could be so gentle when he usually seemed so cold and aloof.

"You're here?"

Iker looked at the girl indifferently and nodded lightly before returning to

his previous cold expression. "It's been a long time since I've seen you.

How are you feeling?"

He smiled faintly as Tanner served them tea. "I'm doing okay now. My

legs don't itch as much anymore, and I don't feel any pain when I sleep

at night thanks to old Mr. Edwards’ Cinchona.”

Layne proudly stroked his beard and spoke happily, "It wasn't easy for

me to go deep into the mountains like that; almost got bitten by a

poisonous snake! But as long as your legs are getting better, it was

worth it."

"The toxins have been cleared out mostly; the following treatment is in

your charge, Cheyenne."

Cheyenne nodded, emotionlessly walked over to Iker and checked his

legs after rolling up his pants legs slightly.

"The next step is going through phase two where we'll use some

medicinal baths along with acupuncture.”

"If everything goes smoothly, tomorrow night will be good for

treatment,” Cheyenne continued while handing Tanner a list of

medicines they needed for purchase later that day.
