She Became Rich After Divorce (Cheyenne and Kelvin) novel Chapter 158

Chapter 158: Displeasing to the Eye

Thanks to Cheyenne's arrival, the once quiet Iker's Estate suddenly became lively.

The living room was filled with people, and the beautiful men and women in the room made the maids' eyes light up. When coffee was served, they were all very careful.

As the host, Iker sat at the head of the table with a stern expression on his face. He looked displeased at all of these extra people in his house.

"I remember only inviting Miss Lawrence," he said.

Everyone except Kate, who had thin skin, picked up their coffee cups nonchalantly and took a sip.

Reece even lounged on the sofa with his legs crossed as if he were at home. "Tanner and I are already friends," he said. "I drank some soup he sent which tasted good, so I came to thank him."

Tanner raised an eyebrow slightly when he heard this, thinking, 'I didn't send it to you but you drank it!'

Iker looked at Omari and narrowed his deep-set eyes slightly. "Mr. Lara, you seem to have nothing better to do."

Omari nodded honestly while staring obsessively at Cheyenne's beautiful profile. "It's off-season for my company right now," he said.

Off-season? Cheyenne almost spat out her coffee when she heard this sentence - anyone could say it except Omari! With his reputation, just posting a message saying 'accepting orders' would probably result in queues until next year! However, since Omari wasn't particularly ambitious by nature - only taking cases when he ran low on money - seeing him forced into business would be quite rare indeed!

Kate raised her hand timidly while looking downcast. "I ... I am here on behalf of my brother who is currently hospitalized." She explained softly, "Since my brother is also a victim in this case, then I have every right to be here."

"Alright, Master Iker, let's get down to business," Cheyenne's tone became serious which caused everyone else's mood in the living room become solemn too. "Do you have any news about Konner?"

Iker made sure that all the servants around them left before speaking again, "I've received some information about Konner recently. Konner initially took care of snakes for Davon, and then he was transferred to be a driver. About two years ago, he took a leave, claiming he was going back to his hometown, and he didn't return until three months later."

"What was the reason for his leave?"

"Taking a three-month leave seems quite unusual. Especially considering that Konner is just an ordinary driver."

"Marriage." Tanner glanced at his young master and added in a melodious voice, "After he came back, everyone said he became very strange. He would often wake up in the middle of the night to drink. When he had nothing to do, he liked to talk to himself."

Omari suddenly snapped his fingers and caught everyone's attention. They all looked at him.

"I asked Konner's wife," Omari said. "She said her husband was normal before they got married. After they got married, Konner planned on quitting his job as a driver. After Konner quit his job, he would often go to an underground gambling den and gamble away his money. If he lost a game, he would come back home and drink while talking to himself."

"I had someone investigate this gambling den," Omari continued. "It is one of Mupreyca's mysterious family industries where only the rich or wealthy can gamble!"

Upon hearing this news, Cheyenne began questioning everything that she knew about Konner.

Even though the Todd family paid higher wages than other companies for drivers like Konner who drove taxis when not working for them directly - there was no way that it could explain why Konner would be so careless with money.

"Do you know where this gambling den is?" Cheyenne asked curiously.

Omari immediately frowned and refuted firmly, "No way! I can't let you take such risks! Don't even think about it!"

Cheyenne raised an eyebrow with a smile on her face as she replied softly, "I have already made up my mind."
