Chapter 217: A Slap In Emelia'S Face

Chapter 217: A Slap in Emelia's Face

He had never taken the girl's words to heart, treating her like any other person who wanted to beMrs. Foley. Shameless.

Two years later, his grandfather suddenly forced him to propose to the Lawrence family.

Kelvin's life was all about work during that period of career growth, and the first thing he did whenhe opened his eyes was work.

Marriage was still too early for him, and he didn't want to marry a woman he had never met anddidn't love under pressure from his elders.

On the day he arrived at the Lawrence Villa and saw Cheyenne, Kelvin felt that she wasn't suitableas his wife.

She was too young, only eighteen years old, while he was already a mature socialite.

Even if he was getting married, what he needed was a dignified and elegant wife who couldaccompany him to banquets with grace and poise, not an ill-mannered girl with yellow hair whowore flip-flops and couldn't sit or stand properly.

Abbie even said that Cheyenne barely passed her college entrance exams by one point while shedominated Akloit High School as its notorious school bully during high school days. George requiredone hundred million as bride price, which left Kelvin with an impression of greediness in his eyes.

He couldn't understand why his grandpa insisted that he should marry someone who wasn't worthyof being part of the Foley family.

Even if his grandpa disliked Abbie, there were plenty of suitable heiresses for Kelvin but definitelynot someone useless like Cheyenne!

Being forced into marriage made him feel uncomfortable from start till end; thus it resulted in fewervisits back home over three years where Cheyenne replaced him beside Grandpa instead.

He didn't even know that his grandpa's health condition worsened!

Old Mr. Foley sighed heavily beside him, pulling Kelvin back into reality. Jonathan looked at themboth pleadingly.

Kelvin softened slightly towards Jonathan. "Mr. Owen, please help treat my grandfather. I'll offer youany price."

Jonathan seemed surprised by this sudden change in Kelvin's attitude but thought perhaps Kelvinhad filial piety towards old Mr. Foley despite being cold-hearted towards others.

"Over these past three years, my junior has been making medicine pills and acupuncture treatmentfor old Mr. Foley..."

Old Mr. Foley gave a bitter smile and stood up with his cane. "Cheyenne and Kelvin have divorced,that stubborn girl would rather leave with nothing than stay. I feel guilty, it's not right to continue totrouble her."

Jonathan understood, realizing that the pills had been used up and old Mr. Foley's illness wasrelapsing.

"But only she can temporarily relieve your illness. Well, your Foley family don't know how toappreciate her kindness. Serves you right!"

From their conversation, they received another shocking news: Cheyenne not only knew medicinebut was even better than Jonathan.

Kelvin remained silent for a while, guilt and regret flashed across his cold face as he held onto hisgrandfather's wrist calmly.

"Grandpa, why didn't you tell me?"

"Tell you? You're busy every day without even seeing your shadow around here! Besides, just takecare of Miss Berry of yours instead! I have Cheyenne taking care of me. But look at what you'vedone. You make her leave!"novelbin

Over the past three years, he had been running around for Abbie's illness while knowing nothingabout his grandfather's condition.

Cheyenne had taken care of his grandfather for three years while he spent those same three yearstaking care of the other woman...

Kelvin fell silent.

He thought he didn't owe her anything but now realized that in this marriage he was actually thebiggest jerk.

"How is that possible? I don't believe it! Cheyenne never went to college, so how could she possiblyknow medicine?" Emelia felt embarrassed whenever she thought about that woman; like beingcrushed by someone more powerful than herself.

She should be shining bright as Miss Foley; everyone should be praising her!

Jonathan rolled his eyes again before crossing his arms, coldly saying, "I never expected suchshort-sightedness and jealousy from such a young lady."

"Nowadays education means nothing! Truly capable people wouldn't give two cents about somegraduation certificate? Two years ago during an epidemic, she led the hospital research teamthrough it together; who knows how many lives were saved because of her."

"She's low-profiled and lazy. Otherwise, I'm willing to hand over my position as director to her."

As soon as Jonathan's words fell, old Mr. Foley added, "For these past three years, I've been takingpills made personally by Cheyenne. Every half month, she would give me acupuncture treatment, orelse I would have died long ago."

The servant reported to Kelvin that Cheyenne did indeed go to the Foley Mansion every half month.But Kelvin believed she was going there to complain to his grandfather, because every time shecame back, his grandfather would remind him to take good care of Cheyenne.

His "care" naturally escalated into bullying, but Cheyenne always smiled and welcomed his anger,even when he intentionally humiliated her in bed.

He firmly believed that Cheyenne was a money-loving woman who could not live without him andtherefore dared to act so recklessly. But everything was wrong. From the moment she agreed todivorce him, she had given up on himself.

Vincent dragged Emelia away and stepped forward to apologize to Jonathan, "Mr. Owen, don't beangry. My sister has been spoiled since childhood." As he spoke, a few beads on his wrist wereexposed.

Jonathan stared at his wrist for a long time.

These beads seemed exactly the same as the beads held in Eddie's hand.

Vincent followed his gaze and quickly pulled down his sleeve to cover the bracelet with a harmlesssmile on his face as if nothing had happened.

A cold killing intent flashed in Vincent's eyes before disappearing instantly.

"Mr. Owen, what are you looking at?"

Jonathan snapped out of it and withdrew his gaze with great confusion in mind.

He wasn't sure whether he saw read it wrong.

Vincent had just been acknowledged as part of the Foley family and never seen Eddie before. Howcould he be the one who harmed Eddie?

"Oh, nothing. I'm just thinking about old Mr. Foley's illness. Maybe you should ask for help from theEdwards family."

Old Mr. Foley sighed deeply, gazing at Kelvin sadly, "Forget it, I hurt Cheyenne again for your sake.I can't bear to beg her for help. Just let nature take its course."

"I'll go find her," Kelvin finally came around and made up his mind.

"Forget it. Cheyenne is probably still mad right now. She doesn't want to see you. I won't dieanytime soon. You're too hot-headed. If you confront her like this, it will only make things worse."

"No, I will talk nicely with her."

"Fine, but let me make myself clear. You can no longer bully her anymore," old Mr. Foley warned.

Kelvin thought of the coin by the bedside. His lips twitched. Who bullied whom? So unfair!
