On this side, the scene was harmonious and pleasant. On the other side, the Owen family felt extremely awkward, as nobody paid them any attention in the first place!
Mr. Owen had never experienced such a cold treatment before. But all of this was their own doing-whom could they blame?
Sophie, in an intimate manner, held onto Cheyenne's arm and said, "Miss Lawrence is the benefactor of our Todd family, but she's my friend. Miss Owen, it would be better if you didn't do that again in the future."
Friend? Cheyenne looked thoughtfully at the hand on her arm. Undoubtedly, it was an elegant and beautiful hand with distinct knuckles, adorned with exquisite nail art, firmly clinging to her arm. So far, they had only met twice, and such intimate gestures made her feel somewhat awkward.
Subtly, she pushed away Sophie's hand and said in an indifferent tone, "Thank you, Miss Todd, but it's not a big deal."
"My grandfather has always taught me to be forgiving."
"Although Miss Owen, you lost just now, but for the sake of old Mr. Owen, I can't be bothered to pursue it today. Let's just leave it at that! I'm very tired."
Leah was so confident before, but now she ended up in such a sorry state. This turn of events was quite a surprise.
Leah was very aware that Cheyenne's words were intentional. Emily had already told her that Cheyenne was not to be underestimated.
Indeed, she was an extremely annoying woman!
"Grandpa, let's go."
As he left, Kyson, leaning on his cane, turned back and reminded, "Missy, don't forget what I just said to you. Think carefully, it won't do you any harm."
Cheyenne nodded indifferently and responded somewhat helplessly, "Understood. Why are you more long-winded than my grandfather?"
At this, Kyson was briefly stunned, then he patted his beard and chuckled, "You are funny... I have great expectations for you. Keep it up."
What did he mean by that?
A hint of hidden intent flickered in Leah's eyes as she tightly clenched her fists. Grandpa wouldn't be trying to bring Cheyenne into the Owen family, would he? She absolutely wouldn't allow Cheyenne to enter the Owen family.
Sophie, as curious as Leah, walked up to Cheyenne with a bright smile, almost overly inquisitive, "Miss Lawrence, what did Kyson just talk to you about? It's so mysterious, it's making me curious."
The fervor in Sophie's eyes made Cheyenne cautious. Sophie had been pretending to be very friendly with her since earlier. Was it her genuine personality, or did she have ulterior motives?
She had successfully avoided the surveillance of Thalia and traveled all the way from Jostrana to Chulae, publicly announcing the will; it was clear that Sophie was not as naive as she appeared.
