She Became Rich After Divorce (Cheyenne and Kelvin) novel Chapter 119

Chapter 119: Cheyenne Is Scheming

All eyes in the venue were focused on the two of them.

It was clear to everyone that Iker's legs were broken. He could barely stand, let alone dance.

He was more like a pole than a dance partner.

Omari stood beside Iker, his charming eyes showing a hint of disappointment.

His lips parted slightly as he wanted to tell Cheyenne that he could dance with her.

But Cheyenne had invited the disabled Iker to be her partner instead.

Omari clenched and unclenched his hands under his suit sleeves, watching as Cheyenne's hand remained suspended in mid-air waiting for Iker's touch.

He was angry. Iker hesitated when given an opportunity that Omari himself would have killed for. It was like they say: those who are full never understand those who are hungry.

Without warning, Omari grabbed hold of Iker's hand and placed it into Cheyenne's soft palm without looking at their joined hands directly.

"Cheyenne choose you because she believes in you," he said with a jealous tone.

Iker turned around and looked at him with dull eyes. "Why?"

"She wants you to win," Omari replied firmly. Otherwise, he would have fought tooth and nail for this chance himself - how could it fall into Master Iker's lap?

Cheyenne wanted to beat Kelvin; but what about him? He needed to overcome his own insecurities and sensitivity towards others' malice towards him in this world.

Until Cheyenne took hold of his rough hand with her delicate one, he didn't know what else to do.

If it were before his legs broke, dancing wouldn't be difficult at all.

Cheyenne lowered her head, breathed in Iker's ear, and in a voice so soft that only they could hear, she whispered, "Trust me."

Such clear and resolute words were etched in his blank mind. They felt like magic pills which helped calmed down his indecisive heart.

"Okay."

Kelvin kept staring at her stunning profile while thinking how crazy this woman is acting again! She can't even dance yet chose someone who can't walk! Even if it had been Omari instead of Ikner as her choice... she still might have some hope left...

Why did she choose Ikner?

"Hehe... I didn't see wrong, Did I? Miss Lawrence actually chose Master Iker! I gotta remind you, the doctor said his legs..." Thalia's annoying voice sounded in the banquet hall.

She hadn't finished speaking but everyone knew exactly what she meant by mentioning the doctor's words regarding Ikner's leg condition...

Some people started laughing at Cheyenne; they couldn't help but think how scheming Miss Lawrence was tonight!

"Perhaps she knows she's going to lose, so she brought Master Iker along. Even if she loses, it won't be too embarrassing," Abbie's chilly voice rang out, mocking Cheyenne's ulterior motives.

Her words enlightened everyone, and Erica walked over from the crowd.

Her slender legs stopped in front of Iker as she advised him with a serious tone. "Iker, you're just fooling around with her. Cheyenne is only using you to show off."

Cheyenne stood behind Iker with her arms crossed arrogantly and raised her chin to look at Erica. "If Master Iker thinks so too, then I can switch my partner."

Before Cheyenne's words fell, Iker's face turned black as he pinched her arm.

"I believe in you," he said coldly before looking at Erica expressionlessly and furrowing his brows. "Madam Erica, you don't need to worry; Miss Lawrence and I will definitely win."
