She Became Rich After Divorce

Chapter 123: Get Out Of The Villa

Chapter 123: Get out of the Villa

Malaya left the banquet with Nora in a hurry, and they both sat in the car. Nora was still crying, covering her face with both hands.

She kept blaming her mother, saying, "It's all your fault. If you hadn't randomly chosen that little slut's dress for me to wear, I wouldn't have embarrassed myself like this."

There are many people at this banquet who study at her school; it will be so embarrassing for her to go to school and face them.

George was driving while listening to his daughter's tearful words, and immediately glared at the two of them angrily.

"What did you say? This dress wasn't borrowed from Cheyenne, but rather... stolen by you?"

He was too embarrassed to finish the sentence, his face turning red with shame.

After the party, he dared not recall the scene just now. George has lived for nearly fifty years, when did he ever feel so embarrassed?

He accidentally stepped on the brake pedal under his feet, and the speeding car suddenly came to a stop by the side of the road.

Due to the inertia of the movement, the mother and daughter sitting in the back seat collided with the car seats, emitting two screams in surprise.

"Ah!"

Malaya reached out and straightened her car seat, her beautiful eyes filled with displeasure as she glared.

"Why are you speaking so harshly? What do you mean by 'stealing'? We're all family. We just borrowed it to wear for a while, and we'll return it."

If she wasn't his wife, George would have scolded her for what she said.

Taking someone's dress without their consent is called stealing, isn't it?

Nora caused him to lose four million for no reason at all!

How dare she cry!

Nora has always been the pride of her parents and a role model in the eyes of her classmates. There have always been people around her flattering her.

Suddenly suffering from this shame, the blame in her father's eyes felt like a sharp knife stabbing into her heart.

"Dad, you only know how to defend Cheyenne. She could have asked Master Iker to forgive us and we wouldn't have had to pay the four million, but she didn't!"

"Cheyenne just wants to see us make a fool of ourselves. She doesn't take us as family or me as her sister!"

As she spoke, the crystal tears fell like broken pearls, making a pitter-patter sound as they dropped onto her skirt.

Malaya gently patted Nora's back to comfort her, feeling equally uneasy inside.

The damn Cheyenne was really a trouble.

If only she had known, she should never have been lenient with Cheyenne back then. She should have made Cheyenne shut up forever, just like her foolish mother.

George listened to the conversation between the mother and daughter, sighing heavily as he gazed ahead at the wide road. He started up the car again, driving forward with a tone of resignation in his voice. "Let's go back for now."

All three of them were only thinking about losing face at the banquet, not realizing that things were about to get much worse.

When Cheyenne returned, her first order of business was to kick them all out!

"What... what did you say? Say it again - who do you want to kick out? This isn't just your house!" The young man's face turned red with anger as he glared at Cheyenne with furrowed brows and squinted eyes. If Malaya hadn't been holding him back, he might have actually charged forward to hit her.

But on the other side stood a woman who continued smiling lightly in her gorgeous silver dress that complemented her radiant smile. "You're right - this is my house," she said calmly. "Ewan, tell him who owns this place."

Ewan stepped forward when called upon; he had worked for the Lawrence family for many years and knew exactly whose house it was.

"Master Sean, this house is the dowry of Madam Selah, and the homeowner is Selah."

He said solemnly while looking helplessly toward Cheyenne before continuing on, "Lady Cheyenne, there's no long-standing grudge between a family. Please don't drive them away."

But Cheyenne just laughed lightly and tilted up one corner of her mouth into an attractive curve while speaking sweetly, "Long-standing grudges? It hasn't even been one night yet! Ewan, don'tMaterial © NôvelDrama.Org.

worry about it - this is something between me and them."

It was now exactly eleven o'clock at night which reminded Cheyenne that she should be sleeping instead of dealing with unrelated people like these ones who needed to leave immediately.

"Cheyenne! I'm your father! Are you really going to kick me out too?" George could feel his heart burning inside him as he spoke.

His anger reached its boiling point; his eyes filled with coldness like a deep pool ready to swallow someone whole without mercy.

Little did he know how sickening "father" sounded towards Cheyenne.

From childhood to adulthood, her ears were filled with George's praises and admiration for Nora.

But when facing her, all those praises and encouragements turned into reproaches and harsh scolding.

In truth, she didn't care about George's opinion of her because she had long grown accustomed to his indifferent attitude towards her.

"Father? How dare you call yourself my father. How many times have you held me since I was a child?"

Her mother died early, and her grandfather had to leave because of his mission.

She heard from the servants at home that when she was only a few months old, she cried so hard that George left her alone in the bathroom until the servants found her almost lifeless.

It was only by luck that she survived to this day.

How dared he take credit for himself?

Her eyes were cold, revealing paranoia and disappointment from deep within. This gaze shone like a beam of light onto George's darkest side.

Yes, he never really treated her as his own daughter.

In order to change his life, he married a fool and suffered countless insults after their marriage. All of this was brought on by Selah!

Why did she have to be a fool? If only she were normal, it would be so much better. But unfortunately all she could do was laugh foolishly at everything.

Marrying Selah was one of the biggest events in his life but also his greatest stain. After Selah died and the Edwards family fell apart, George could stand tall and proud as an upright person again.

But Cheyenne was the one born from that fool; every time he saw Cheyenne, it reminded him of those unbearable memories. How could he possibly get close to her? That was why when Nora was born, George gave her double love and placed all his hopes on her instead.

Psychologically speaking, Nora was his first child; people always tended to favor their first child more than others.

Compared with Nora's happy childhood, Cheyenne's childhood was miserable with nothing but despair left behind.

Was this fair?
