She Became Rich After Divorce (Cheyenne and Kelvin)

Chapter 204: Tears Are The Greatest Weapon

Chapter 204: Tears are the Greatest Weapon

Kelvin couldn't help but feel a desire to protect her, and he thought that this emotion was love. So,he turned a blind eye to Abbie's efforts to drive away the women who intentionally or unintentionallytried to seduce him. It also solved one of his problems.

His acquiescence made Abbie even more reckless. She had already convinced herself that she wasthe only woman worthy of Kelvin's attention. Despite her innocent and gentle appearance, she oncesneered at other girls' love letters for Kelvin and openly claimed Cheyenne's gift as her own beforegiving it to him in her name.

At twenty years old, Abbie was at the prime of her youth. That year, she received an invitation fromVarsden Art College abroad and had hopes of competing in ballet at Metshire Palace - anunparalleled honor for any aspiring ballerina.

She believed that winning the championship would make old Mr. Foley finally see her worthiness asKelvin's wife-to-be.

However, fate can be cruel sometimes; while traveling through a mountainous road section on a carride, Abbie encountered an accident where rocks fell onto both legs which were essential fordancing - something more painful than dying on the spot itself.

Because of this tragedy, she missed out on both Varsden Art College and competition opportunities;however, it was Kelvin who gave her hope for survival when no one else could have helped duringsuch times.

"Kelvin... does this mean I can never dance again?" asked Abbie tearfully countless times before hefinally replied with conviction, "I will make sure you stand on stage again."

He kept his promise. Three years later, despite not being able to dance anymore due to injury,Abbie became the teacher hired by Varsden Art College.

Abbie once again became the center of public attention. At twenty-three, she was young andtalented, and her unfortunate background and life story piqued the interest of many men.

Abbie thought that she could finally match up well with Kelvin, so she quit her position in VarsdenArt College which cost Kelvin two hundred million dollars to get it for her sake!

She returned to her home country, but she didn't expect to hear the news that Kelvin was going tomarry someone else.

That girl was only seventeen years old and hadn't fully developed yet. It was said that she had poorgrades and caused trouble by fighting everywhere.

Even old Mr. Foley couldn't look at herself, why would he be interested in such a girl? She refusedto accept it.

However, when she saw Cheyenne's face, Abbie felt threatened for the first time.

Cheyenne was different from the other women who she easily dismissed before. She was confident,stunningly beautiful with a fiery personality combined with sweetness and exuded youthfulness thatmade people happy just by looking at her.

At only seventeen years old, it was hard to imagine how much of a beauty she would become oncefully grown.

In terms of appearance, Abbie was insecure because her parents did not give her good looks andplastic surgery was something that high society despised.

Her mother warned her from an early age, "Abbie, do you know what a woman's greatest weaponis?"

The five-year-old girl shook her head. "I don't know."

"It's beauty! I am plain-looking, which is why your father has an affair with a more beautiful woman."

"Unluckily, you're not blessed by heaven like me. You're not pretty so you lose the biggestadvantage as a woman."

The little girl didn't understand what "biggest advantage" meant; all she heard was her mommysaying "you're not pretty".

In fact, she noticed this problem too because in kindergarten no one played with her; they preferredplaying with the prettier girls instead.

When everyone left after class ended one day, Abbie threw the attractive toy belonging to anotherchild into the pond behind school, thinking if there were no more toys, then everyone would noticeand play with her instead.

But nothing changed.

Now her mommy had told her the truth - it was because she wasn't pretty enough.

"Mommy, what should I do?"

Sympathetically stroking Abbie's soft hair, her mother said earnestly, "Besides beauty, women havean even stronger weapon."

"Tears!"

"People always sympathize with those who are weak, so you need to use your tears well againstenemies stronger than yourself!"

The young girl nodded as if understanding but still wasn't sure how exactly tears could be usedeffectively.

"Your father had an affair with someone prettier than me, but so what? When I cried, he obedientlycame back - this is the power of tears."

Later, the abandoned doll that was thrown into the pond was found by workers who were digginglotus roots. The child cried for a long time and it wasn't until her teacher investigated thesurveillance footage that she discovered Abbie had taken the doll.

In a panic, she remembered her mother's words and apologized to her teacher and classmateswhile crying. She shouldn't have done what she did, but she only did it because she noticed one ofthe doll's hands had fallen off and was afraid her friend would be upset if they found out.

The accusing look in the teacher's eyes suddenly disappeared as she squatted down to embraceAbbie.novelbin

"Good girl, you're so kind-hearted. You secretly took care of someone else's toy because you didn'twant them to be upset. But remember, you can't make decisions for others. That belongs to her,understand?"

Abbie hiccuped as she tearfully answered yes.

From a bad kid to a good kid who knew how to admit her mistakes - from that day on, there werekids willing to play with her again.

Abbie finally experienced just how powerful tears could be.

On Kelvin and Cheyenne's wedding night, she had tricked Kelvin into going to Metshire with herusing tears as her weapon, pretending to be unwell.

Little did she know that fate was playing another cruel joke on her. She had been diagnosed with ahereditary heart condition...

Kelvin left his new wife behind in order to accompany Abbie overseas for medical treatment -spending more than half a month away from home.

Undoubtedly this meant that Abbie won over Cheyenne once again.

Now things were no different; Just like before, Abbie was resorting to her familiar tactic of appearingvulnerable to garner sympathy, and she was pushing Cheyenne into the spotlight once again.

Kelvin felt chills run through his veins as he seriously looked at Cheyenne.

The latter sneered at him before turning around and walking inside holding onto Grandpa's hand.

Beforehand, Cheyenne always stuck close by him like an unshakeable shadow; ever since theyannounced their engagement, she'd been trying hard to win him over by staying close by his side...

He thought no matter what happened, this shadow wouldn't leave him alone...

But he was wrong; the shadow also has its own consciousnesses, sometimes feeling hopelesstoo...

Just like how it came without sound, it left without any trace or regret...
