Chapter 158: Displeasing to the Eye Thanks to Cheyenne's arrival, the once quiet Iker's Estate suddenly beclively.
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.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtReece 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 ssoup he sent which tasted good, so I cto 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 becserious which caused everyone else's mood in the living room becsolemn too. "Do you have any news about Konner?" Iker made sure that all the servants around them left before speaking again, “I've received sinformation 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 cback, everyone said he becvery 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 cback hand 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." Nobody could change her decision now! Everyone looked at Cheyenne's determined expression helplessly before sighing together in unison.
"I'I go with Cheyenne," Kate volunteered bravely after hearing what she had decided upon doing next.
Hearing Kate's offer, Reece rolled his eyes. "What are you going there for? To slow down Cheyenne? When it comes to things like this, it's only right for a charming young guy liketo handle it." "Forget it," Kate retorted quickly before Reece could say anything else. "Your face will probably be recognized by someone as soon as you walk into it!" Kate's words deflated Reece instantly because they made so much sense.
Iker was actually much more suitable for going with Cheyenne since he rarely appeared publicly but then again, he couldn't walk.
Cheyenne needed somebody who could cause trouble inside the gambling den so that she could get tthere to search for clues.
The next evening, the neon lights on the streets flickered to life, adorning the city with their radiant glow. Everywhere, there was a bustling scene of lights, colors, and merriment.
A black Maybach raced down the straight street. Inside, a young woman in a red mini skirt exuded sex appeal and allure. Her face was half-covered by black sunglasses, but her bright red lips were eye-catching.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHer own car had been damaged in an accident and this car she drove belonged to Master Iker.
In the driver's seat was a relatively sturdy "woman" with an alluring face only an rove with one hand while using who drove the other to adjust her chest. “This thing is useless; it keeps falling off." Cheyenne glanced over from the passenger seat and chuckled before slapping the back of his hand.
"Don't move around like that! What if you expose yourself later?" "I am singled out as the national heartthrob by netizens, but I gave up my dignity for your sake. So, once this is done, I want you to giftyour Stone Angel Statue." He had long coveted Cheyenne's Stone Angel Statue which was exquisite and translucent in her villa courtyard. She placed it in her fountain pool to make it aesthetically pleasing.
He had wanted to take it from Cheyenne since he bought his villa in Akloit, but Cheyenne refused to give it away to him. It wasn't that she was ghing.. being stingy, but once the stone statue was removed, the fountain pool would be empty... and she couldn't be bothered to find a replacement. "Fine," Cheyenne agreed reluctantly. "But letmake myself clear. You have to move it yourself!" As long as she didn't have to lift a finger herself, everything else could be negotiated easily enough.
After getting her promise, Reece suddenly threw a flirtatious look at her. “I knew you were generous.” Cheyenne covered her mouth abruptly with disgust written all over her face before turning away from him. "You hurt my eyes! Just focus on driving!"
"How can 1? I put on makeup before - leaving htoday - even lipstick — too - don't they makelook good? e How can you say such things?" He actually knew how important male attractiveness was nowadays...
impressive indeed!
