Chapter 66: Overbearing Bully

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Overwhelmed with exasperation, Cheyenne clenched her fists so tightly that her knuckles turned white.

She wanted to walk away directly, but she couldn’t do so at all because of the gossipy crowd surrounding them.

“I know, but your husband is a thorough wastrel. After going missing for so many years, he’s still a good-for-nothing who’s worlds apart from me! I’m different. I’ll definitely treat you well. I can give you what he can’t! That person isn’t worthy of you at all! I’m thousands of times better than him!” Seth exclaimed loudly, wishing he could undermine Lucas as much as possible.

“Enough! I don’t want to hear you talk anymore! Do you know him? What right do you have to say anything about him?” Cheyenne retorted coldly, full of disdain toward Seth for thinking that he was thousands of times better than Lucas.

Seth couldn’t hold a candle to Lucas, but even if he was really better than Lucas, it had nothing to do with her.

At this moment, Cheyenne’s eyes widened in surprise because Lucas was squeezing through the crowd and walking toward her step by step.

“Why are you here?” Cheyenne looked at him in surprise.

“Lucas Gray!” Seth glared at the uninvited guest hostilely, completely forgetting that Lucas was Cheyenne’s rightful husband.

“I’m here to pick you up to go home.” Lucas looked at Cheyenne and handed her a ring made out of grass. “I saw this along the way, so I made you one.”

It was a small ring woven of thin strands of green grass with a small purple flower in the middle.

The crowd craned their necks and looked over, after which they couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

“Oh my god! Do people still weave rings out of grass these days?”

“That’s so lowly! If he can’t afford a diamond ring, he should at least buy a gold ring or a platinum ring, right? A glass ring is worthless!”

“No wonder this man said that he’s thousands of times better than the other man. It really seems to be the case!”

“It’s such a huge difference. This man proposed with a diamond ring that’s at least a few carats, while the other proposed with a grass ring. Oh my god. Any woman would know who to choose!”

...

But to everyone’s surprise, Cheyenne reached out and grabbed the grass ring Lucas handed her and put it on her finger.

“I like it a lot. Thank you!” She smiled at Lucas radiantly.

“What? That woman actually chose the grass ring!”

“Are you serious? Is there really a woman in this world who would choose a grass ring over a diamond ring? I don’t believe it!”

“Tsk, what a beautiful yet silly girl. Why didn’t I meet her earlier? Ah, such a pity! That rascal got an advantage!”

All of a sudden, everyone looked at Cheyenne like they were looking at a fool before looking at Lucas in envy!

This rascal is too lucky!

Ignoring the bizarre gazes on him from the people standing around them, Lucas took Cheyenne’s hand and walked away.

Boiling with fury, Seth glared at the two of them from behind and watched them leave.

“Lucas Gray! You loser, I won’t let you go!” Seth barked while gritting his teeth.

——

Lucas and Cheyenne got into the car and headed to the kindergarten to pick Amelia up.

Upon seeing her parents picking her up together, Amelia grinned widely and sprinted toward them. “Daddy! Mommy!”

Lucas walked forward, picked Amelia up, and held her in his arms.

Cheyenne originally wanted to say that Amelia was already six years old and didn’t need to be carried all the time, but when she saw how happy and excited Amelia was, she couldn’t bring herself to say it.

Amelia had been looking forward to having a father for a long time, and now that she finally got closer to him, Cheyenne decided to just let them be.

The three of them got into the car and headed home.

Throughout the journey, Amelia couldn’t contain her excitement and chattered incessantly about the new things that happened at school today. Although they were just some childish things, both of them were happy to hear her talk about them.

Lucas was smiling, but he suddenly noticed that Cheyenne did not look too well. She was frowning slightly and seemed to be out of sorts. She only returned to her senses when Amelia shook her hard.

Lucas inwardly frowned and asked seemingly casually, “Did something happen at the office today?”

“Huh?” Cheyenne was in a trance again, and she finally realized that Lucas was asking her a question.

Hanging her head low, she stroked Amelia’s head and tried to seem relaxed. “Nothing. Everything’s going well.”

Seeing her reaction, Lucas was even more certain that something must have happened to her at the Brilliance Corporation.

However, he didn’t state it explicitly. Upon returning home after dinner, Cheyenne said hesitantly, “I have to go out to do something. I’ll be home late.”

Lucas was a little surprised because Cheyenne almost rarely went out at night. She didn’t like shopping or socializing, and she would spend most of her free time at home with Amelia, apart from the occasional overtime.

“Where are you going? I’ll give you a lift,” Lucas offered.

Cheyenne shook her head. “No, it’s alright. I’ll get a cab. Stay home and accompany Amelia.”

Lucas gazed at her and nodded.

After Cheyenne left, Lucas immediately called Davis.

“Find out what happened to Cheyenne at the Brilliance Corporation today and inform me right away.”

Davis shivered. “Yes, Mr. Gray!”

Lucas had always been very concerned about matters involving Cheyenne. Davis dared not be negligent as he hurriedly instructed his subordinates to find out.

As a result, when the details of the matter were reported to him twenty minutes later, Davis turned pale.

Even Davis was irked and angry after reading it. What more Lucas, who cared a lot about Cheyenne?

Davis carefully told Lucas what happened. And just as he expected, Lucas flew into a rage and almost crushed his phone into pieces.

“Um... Mr. Gray, I’ll order them to handle it immediately and cancel that task for Miss Carter, alright?” Davis asked carefully.

“That’s not necessary. It’s too late.”

Lucas hung up with a gloomy expression and hurriedly said something to Amelia before rushing off somewhere.

Lucas’s gaze was cold. After he made Davis acquire the Brilliance Corporation, he had merely fired all the Carters who were employees instead of conducting a purge.

Yet someone was now bullying Cheyenne!

The place Cheyenne was going tonight was a company named Heaven Media, a famous company helmed by Brad Douglas’s father!

The task Cheyenne received was to discuss cooperation with Heaven Media. If she failed to complete it, she would be kicked out of the Brilliance Corporation!
