There was once a time when that woman was just like this too. She liked to sit on the wall and watch the moon while eating oranges. Her legs, white and tender, swayed in the moonlight like a little fox who had stolen some peaches.
Lost in thought for a moment, Kelvin couldn't help but turn his head and saw Cheyenne reaching for an orange that Omari had peeled.
Her hand lightly touched his fingertips, causing his gaze to soften. He gently brushed her long hair off her shoulder with his other hand.
Kelvin's eyes caught sight of a small vermilion mole on her fair shoulder. His heart skipped a beat as he realized that this woman was Cheyenne!
He felt anger rising within him at the realization that she was right there in front of him all along.
Cheyenne noticed Kelvin's cold gaze and touched her mask, hoping he wouldn't recognize her.
"Would you like some more?" asked Omari.
"No, thanks," replied Cheyenne curtly.
Wait... why did their conversation feel so... flirty?
Cheyenne fidgeted with her hands, feeling unsure of what to do next.
"Ladies and gentlemen! The grand finale is here! Our last treasure of the night - Rejuvenated Herb! It is said to have amazing health benefits such as strengthening bones and muscles while promoting longevity! The starting bid is 5 million dollars!"
Here it comes...
Cheyenne sat up straighter and took a deep breath.
As she looked serious, Omari also became alert and waited quietly for the first bid.
"Kelvin, this medicinal herb..." Abbie grabbed Kelvin's arm excitedly. She had been waiting for five years and finally got her chance.
The latter nodded and said coldly, "Don't worry, I will definitely get it."
"6 million!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the people below got excited. Who is this damn rich man? Doesn't he know how hard money is to earn? He raised the price by one million right away!
But Cheyenne was determined to get this herb. She raised her own bidding paddle and said confidently, "6. 5 million."
At these words, Kelvin's gaze turned cold as if he could see through her.
"7. 6 million."
"9 million!"
The market value of this herb was only between six to seven million dollars. Its value was less than nine million.
Does the woman in red really understand medicine? Spending nine million just to buy such a herb is not wise at all.
Kelvin furrowed his eyebrows. How could Cheyenne have nine million dollars when she divorced him and left with nothing? He knew the Lawrence family well and they would never give her that much money.
There was only one possibility, the man by her side was her sugar daddy!
Damn it, she had stooped so low as to be kept by someone else!
Kelvin felt a surge of anger at the thought of that man being intimate with Cheyenne. "10 million!" he declared.
Cheyenne smirked at his willingness to spend so much money for his beloved.
Seeing that Cheyenne made no response, Abbie thought Cheyenne had given up and threw the latter a triumphant glance before saying softly to Kelvin, "Kelvin... this seems a bit expensive. Maybe we should forget about it and wait."
But Kelvin couldn't let Abbie wait any longer for the herb - she was already twenty-six years old and he couldn't make her wait another five years.
"Abbie, I will get you this herb and cure your illness," he promised.
