She Became Rich After Divorce (Cheyenne and Kelvin) novel Chapter 144

Chapter 144: Can't Get Up Without Five Million

The next day, there was not a single report about the highroad ambush incident!

This weird situation soon made Cheyenne smell something fishy. Who was manipulating everything behind the scenes?

From the number and skills of the black-clad individuals, it was clear that they were not temporary employees without organization or discipline. Although Volkswagen was not a luxury car brand, burning five cars in one go seemed excessively extravagant.

It'd only been half a day since the incident happened, and the other party had bought off all the newspapers and media. It was evident that the power behind this was immense.

Who could it be? Why did they have to go after her and Eddie?

"Cheyenne, I came to see you. Are you okay? Oh my goodness, as soon as I heard that something happened to you, I immediately rushed to buy a plane ticket from Briyra and flew back."

Suddenly, a loud voice from outside the door interrupted Cheyenne's thoughts. She trembled slightly and looked up at the person who had arrived.

"Who are you?"

The comer had a thick layer of white powder on his face and round paper-cut-like cheek blush.

With smoky makeup on his face, he ran so fast that his messy golden hair looked like a bird's nest on top of his head.

Reece felt he was hurt by Cheyenne's words.

With one hand bracing against the door panel and the other clutching his chest, his towering frame slowly slid downward.

"I... I have been hurt by you. Without five million, I cannot get up."

And with those words, he indeed seated himself on the ground.

Cheyenne glanced at his exaggerated acting and slowly reached for an apple from the fruit bowl beside her. She took a big bite and enjoyed it immensely.

Ignoring his reaction made Reece feel embarrassed, and he couldn't help but frown. "I really flew back from Briyra overnight to see you. I'm almost dead tired."

There was a time difference between the two sides. When Cheyenne had an accident, it was nighttime in Briyra. He was shooting a horror movie and they happened to be working at night.

Just as he finished work and was about to go home for a good night's sleep, he received a call from that annoying girl Kate, saying that Cheyenne had an accident.

He flew back from abroad overnight and didn't close his eyes for a day and night. He was both hungry and sleepy.

"Well, then, just sit on the ground and take a good rest. I certainly don't have five million to help you up. How about you lay down and take a nap? It might as well be a way to clean the floor for me," she quipped.

Cheyenne smiled as she took a bite out of the apple, which was about the size of her fist. Reece's lips twitched as he listened to her words and quickly got up from the ground, brushing off the dust from his clothes.

He walked over to Cheyenne and snatched the apple from her hand, biting into it with anger. "You really have no heart, even though we're friends."

"Hey, that's my apple!"

"You're so stingy! I let you take a bite out of my ice cream before. What's wrong with me taking half your apple?"

The half-eaten apple disappeared in an instant as Reece swallowed it whole. Goodness gracious, was he that hungry?

Reece didn't hesitate to pull up a nearby chair and sit down while grabbing a banana from the fruit plate on his way there. He peeled it and stuffed it into his mouth.
