Chapter 411: Vicious Cousin
Chapter 411: Vicious Cousin
In the private room next door, Kenneth’s face was as gloomy as it could be since Lucas contradicted him, and he wished he could have him killed.
His friends were all glowering at Lucas menacingly, and the atmosphere in the private room was extremely stagnant for a while.
Seeing that things seemed to be getting physical soon, Cheyenne became rather worried. She quickly shook Lucas’s arm and said to everyone else, “It’s getting late. I think it’s about time to call it a night. My husband and I will take our leave now. Thank you for the generous invitation, Kenneth. We’ll treat you to a meal another day if we get the chance.”
As the general manager of the Brilliance Corporation, Cheyenne was eloquent enough to know just the right thing to say out of courtesy.
But she would never invite someone who harbored designs on her like Kenneth to dinner.
Lucas understood Cheyenne’s concerns and was aware that she was worried that he might get into a physical conflict with these people.
Although he wasn’t afraid, nothing good would come out of falling out with these scions, and it would even make Cheyenne face more difficulties in her career in the future.
So Lucas stood up cooperatively and said, “Honey, I’ll send you home.”
Lucas and Cheyenne both chose to walk away and let the matter rest, but Kenneth and his friends were displeased and had different thoughts in mind.
Kenneth’s agenda tonight was to get into Cheyenne’s pants, and he was now still far from achieving it. How could he possibly be willing to let the two of them leave?
Besides, Kenneth’s friends all thought that Lucas was way too arrogant and had secretly called the security guards to come upstairs. Since they hadn’t taught Lucas a lesson yet, they wouldn’t let the two leave so easily.
They also thought that Lucas’s decision to leave now was an act of cowardice, which made them feel a stronger desire to seize the opportunity to teach him a lesson!
“Hold it right there! Did Kenneth give you permission to leave? Hmph, what makes you think you can flee after acting all haughty and arrogant in front of us?!”
Wayne and two other scions blocked the door, keeping Lucas and Cheyenne from leaving.
Nikki laughed derisively and gibed, “Hah, Lucas Gray, it’s hard to win when you’re outnumbered. There are so many of us here. I suggest that you be obedient and kneel down to apologize to Kenneth! Otherwise, you really won’t be able to leave this place standing tonight!”
Kenneth sat beside Cheyenne like a bigwig with pleasure in his eyes.
He was indeed a bit afraid of Lucas’s impressive combat skills. But after Wayne and the rest surrounded the drunkard who had somehow barged in and beaten him into a pulp, he suddenly figured out that while they might not be Lucas’s opponent in a one-on-one fight, there were more than ten of them against him. So he felt that there was no way they could be defeated by him.
Now, Lucas was an easy target!
As long as the door of the private room was closed, there was no way Lucas would be able to escape, and they would be able to beat him as they wanted.
As long as they crippled him, the vulnerable Cheyenne would naturally belong to him. Regardless of whether she was willing or not, she couldn’t resist him and would have no choice but to obediently allow him to toy with her as he pleased!
After Cheyenne heard what Nikki said, her eyes widened in disbelief. “Nikki! Lucas is your cousin-in-law. How could you say that?”
Although she had always known that Nikki looked down on Lucas and detested him, Nikki was going overboard by telling Lucas to do something humiliating like kneeling down to Kenneth in front of so many people!
“Hah, Cheyenne, I’ve also told you many times that Lucas Gray is just a good-for-nothing who isn’t worthy of being my cousin-in-law, and I’ve never been willing to acknowledge him! I’m not afraid to tell you the truth now. Today’s dinner is specially meant for setting you up with Kenneth! If not for this good-for-nothing coming to mess our plans up, you would have been Kenneth’s woman by now!”
After pretending for so long, Nikki finally revealed her true intentions. She said with a smug expression, “Cheyenne, it’s your blessing that Kenneth is interested in you! Look, Kenneth is the successor of the Parker family, while you’re just a used woman who’s already married. Kenneth is actually at a loss! So just stop being so pretentious and quickly obey Kenneth!
“As for your good-for-nothing husband, he’d better get lost before it’s too late!”
Cheyenne didn’t dare to believe her ears. It was as if she didn’t know Nikki at all.
She couldn’t believe that she just heard such vicious words from her cousin, whom she had known since childhood.
Nikki sounded just like a pimp, and her callous words made her seem like a complete stranger to Cheyenne. Are those really the words my biological cousin said, who has always been gentle, generous, and chummy with me?
“Nikki, you are my cousin! What... what on earth are you saying?!” Cheyenne muttered incredulously.
Nikki rolled her eyes hostilely and snapped, “There are no other outsiders here, so stop bossing me around just because you’re my older cousin! What I just said is the truth. Regardless of whether you want to hear it or not, this is the indisputable truth! You’re just a used married woman who has given birth. Do you think you’re still the most beautiful woman in Orange County who has countless suitors?! Wake up!”
“I’ve already said you’re lucky that Kenneth still wants a woman like you. Stop pretending to be a pure and chaste woman! Just be good and sleep with Kenneth tonight. He naturally won’t mistreat you. Don’t you want to expand your business to LA? As long as Kenneth puts in a good word for you, you can get a lot of orders tomorrow morning. That’s much easier than painstakingly finding partners yourself!” Nikki said nonchalantly and even glanced at Cheyenne with disdain as she made her words even more explicit and blunt.
Cheyenne was so enraged that her face flushed red and her body started trembling.
The only thing that made her more upset than the verbal insults was Nikki’s disgusting and unbearable thoughts.
Cheyenne was only around a year older than Nikki. Since they were young, Nikke would always stick to her whenever there were family gatherings. She used to coquettishly ask Cheyenne for toys and pocket money and even openly took away many of Cheyenne’s cherished items.
Cheyenne had always treated her as a younger sister, so she would give in to her all the time!
When she was in college, Nikki had been a huge spendthrift and would always call Cheyenne to lament about not having enough living expenses. Cheyenne would then scrimp and save so that she could give money to Nikki, while she often cooped herself up in her dorm room and lived off sandwiches. She couldn’t even afford to buy a few pieces of new clothes all year round.
Moreover, whenever Nikki appeared in front of Cheyenne, she always dressed fashionably and would even show off her clothes, cosmetic products, and her latest cell phone. She would even mock Cheyenne for looking like a bumpkin.
However, Cheyenne endured it because she was her cousin. And when Nikki begged her for money again, she would always be soft-hearted and transfer more money to her.
But Nikki didn’t return a single cent she had borrowed.
Afterward, Nikki’s parents seemed to face some cash flow difficulties and began begging Cheyenne for a loan. At the time, Cheyenne gave them all her savings.
Yet Nikki, her cousin whom she had taken care of for many years, actually humiliated her in front of all these people and was forcing her to sleep with another man!
Cheyenne felt as if her heart was being stabbed by daggers!
