Chapter 115: Let Cheyenne Trouble Me
Cheyenne stood before everyone, still cold and proud. Her silver dress made her look like a goddess.
When faced with the accusations from George and Malaya, Cheyenne seemed indifferent. She even sneered.
"I don't know where you got the nerve to say that. This dress belongs to Master Iker. Only he can decide who it should be given to."
Iker said coldly, "This dress is only worthy of Cheyenne. What is Nora anyway?"
"George, remember to transfer the four million on time to me, or your family business would face bankruptcy."
The warning filled with anger made George break out in a cold sweat. He tried to please Master Iker and see if he could get some more time.
But he was scared off by Iker's imposing manner before he could even open his mouth.
"Well... Master Iker, don't worry about it. The four... four million will be transferred on time."
In fact, for nobles like Iker, four million was just small change.
But he couldn't stand those people who bullied Cheyenne.
"Hmm."
After this incident, Nora had feel shame for continuing to stay here. She put on her father's coat and stood up with her mother's help.
Before she left, she didn't forget to tell Cheyenne, "Cheyenne! All my shame today is because of you! Just you wait!"
Omari retorted without hesitation, "You're ridiculous! How can you blame Cheyenne when you embarrassed yourself?"
Then he said in a gentle tone towards Cheyenne, "Don't be afraid; I'll protect you well."
Cheyenne wasn't afraid of Nora but Omari's straightforward declaration made her feel warm inside.
She wasn't an emotionless person. Every time she was in danger since meeting Omari, it was him who saved her every single time.
She knew Omari had feelings for herself but her heart was so small that it could only accommodate one person: Kelvin. Even though Kelvin didn't need her true heart.
Omari was one of her close friends; she had tried many times persuading Omari into finding someone suitable instead of pursuing herself but his persistence matched hers.
Iker could sense that there was something unusual between the two of them, and he couldn't help but feel a twinge of jealousy. "Cheyenne, come over here!"
He had planned for her to be his companion for the evening, but she had been standing next to Omari ever since she walked in. There was a reason for her not to wear the dress he gave her, but there was no reason for her to ignore himself and flirt with some other man.
'Wait, why did I care who Cheyenne was with? I don't even like that woman! I just... didn't like being lied to. Yes, that's it!'
Iker's deep-set eyes were filled with anger and frustration one moment and then became distant and complex the next.
Others may not have noticed it, but Tanner could see clearly that Master Iker seemed different around Miss Lawrence than any other woman before.
In the past, Master Iker wouldn't have given a second glance at any woman because they were too fragile and always crying about something. But now with Miss Lawrence... he couldn't seem to take his eyes off of her.
George left looking disheveled along with his daughter while Cheyenne glanced apologetically at Omari beside her.
"Omari, I'm sorry about tonight. Next time, let me make it up by buying you a bottle of good wine."
'Is she really going to be that cripple's companion?' Omari thought.
He immediately turned towards Iker, giving the latter an icy glare.
"Master Iker, remember that Cheyenne is mine," Omari said firmly. "Tonight, I'm just temporarily lending her to you. Make sure to return Cheyenne to me exactly as she is."
The people around them looked at each other speechless after hearing such words from Omari as if passing on some kind of inheritance or legacy.
Iker sneered in response. "Mr. Lara, don't worry about it; I'm not interested in Cheyenne anyway. It's just that I dislike people who promise things and don't follow through. Only you would have such peculiar tastes."
With those words, Omari finally felt relieved, and the heavy weight that had been hanging over his heart was lifted. He even walked up to Iker and patted his shoulder, pushing Tanner aside. "Master
Iker is right. My Cheyenne has a bit of a temper. She can be quite a trouble."
"Omari, what nonsense are you spouting?" Cheyenne stood aside and noticed the two men talking in hushed tones. Not sure what they were saying, she took a step forward to listen and happened to hear Omari saying she was a trouble.
Omari quickly put on a pleasing smile. "I haven't finished yet. Cheyenne is trouble, and I'm afraid she'll cause trouble to others, so I have to let her trouble me instead."
Although it sounded like a joke, every word was spoken in a doting tone that made the wealthy young ladies around them almost cry.
Omari Lara was the most sought-after man in town by all women except for Kelvin.
Despite being an illegitimate child of the Lara family, he had made a name for himself with his own abilities.
His assets were no less than those of any wealthy family.
He was handsome and gentle-looking with extensive knowledge as an excellent law professor who had attended numerous universities and public events as a speaker.
This seemingly perfect man had an even more captivating quality - there wasn't a woman by his side. Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.
All those who tried to flirt with him, whether overtly or discreetly, were effortlessly dismissed by his few words.
In their eyes, Omari was the perfect lover but surprisingly fell for someone who had been divorced once - Cheyenne.
How could they not be jealous?
But when Cheyenne appeared, all the young debutantes in the room grew dim.
In that moment, the whole world seemed to revolve around Cheyenne's radiance.
Iker snorted coldly and ignored Omari's words. Keen observers could see it clearly-Cheyenne didn't actually have feelings for him, and Omari was simply caught in a one-sided infatuation!
Omari left without worry while Cheyenne took Tanner's place and pushed Iker into the main venue of the banquet hall.
Due to the previous incident, nobody dared to provoke these two terrifying people, and they all voluntarily made way for them.
As the music began to play, everyone forgot about what happened earlier, and they quickly resumed their happy conversations once more!
"Miss Emily Davidson has arrived! Look quickly! Miss Davidson is here!" Someone suddenly shouted amidst the crowd which drew everyone's attention towards them immediately!
Cheyenne also became curious about this President's daughter's appearance, so she looked over too!
