She Became Rich After Divorce

Chapter 193: Reserved Kate

Chapter 193: Reserved Kate

Just as Cheyenne said goodbye to Sam, her phone in her pocket rang. It was Kate.

"Hey, Cheyenne, when are you getting here?"

Listening to the voices of others on the other end of the line, Cheyenne guessed that she was probably shopping at a mall.

"In a little while."

"I'm at the department store in downtown. Want to go shopping together?"

Cheyenne agreed but first went back to her bedroom and changed into something slightly more formal. She opened up the secret room in her study where there was a white safe.

This secret was unknown to George and Malaya; inside were all of Selah's jewelry from before she passed away. There were priceless jewels, antique hairpins and jade bracelets.

After Selah died, Layne collected these items with plans to give them as part of Cheyenne's dowry when she married into the Foley family. But since Kelvin never took her out anywhere except for their wedding day, she didn't need any of it.

Malaya had been searching for these items for years but couldn't find them anywhere throughout the villa. She thought that maybe Cheyenne had taken them with her when she got married but they were actually right under her nose all along.

The villa was designed by Grandpa's friend and had several hidden rooms and underground passages where large antiques could be stored without being seen by anyone who visited their

home regularly. Most things that were left out in plain sight weren't worth much anyway so Layne didn't bother taking care of them which is why Malaya and Nora could take advantage like this.

It had been many years since anyone touched this box so there was quite a bit dust on top of it.

Cheyenne crouched down in front of the safe and wiped off some dust with one hand while blowing off another layer with air from her mouth before entering her mom's birthday as password which resulted in hearing only "drip" sound similar to water droplets echoing through silence within bookroom.

The safe was opened, and inside, there was a jumble of boxes, filling it to the brim. It was so packed that when she opened the safe, one box fell out. Cheyenne picked it up; it was a small rosewood box, intricately carved.

Inside lay two cherry blossom pink jade bracelets, perfect for Kate!

Sitting on the floor, Cheyenne opened all the remaining boxes, revealing a dazzling array of treasures. From delicate gold hairpins to precious jade bracelets, Tahitian black pearls, gold bead necklaces, diamond tassel earrings, and much more, it was a sight to behold.

She drew the curtains in the study, casting the room into dim light, but the countless sparkling jewels made the whole room gleam with brilliance. Delicate beams of light circled around Cheyenne, who sat cross-legged on the floor. Her exquisite face, with rosy lips and fair complexion, seemed to outshine the radiance of these treasures, making her even more resplendent.

"That's it!" After picking through them all, she still thought that cherry blossom pink jade bracelets were her favorite.

After changing into new clothes, she treated her priceless rosewood box and jade bracelets like a purse and carried them under her arm as she left for Ocean Department Store in downtown Akloit.

A few minutes later, the car came to a stop.

Ocean Department Store was one of Akloit's two renowned department stores and a shopping paradise for wealthy women looking for leisure and entertainment.

From a distance, Cheyenne spotted her friend Kate standing at the entrance. Kate wore a tight- fitting black miniskirt that barely covered her plump derrière, showcasing her fair, slender legs. Her outfit attracted quite a few stares.

Seeing her friend's attire, so different from her usual style, Cheyenne took a step forward and raised an eyebrow. "Did your brother say anything about you dressing like this?"

Eddie loved his sister like a father would love his daughter; he didn't allow Kate to stay out late or drink alcohol or date early... He had many rules for her even though none of them were ever enforced.

Kate threw Cheyenne a coquettish look. "My brother is working overtime at the hospital today so he doesn't have time to bother me."

Cheyenne narrowed her eyes slightly while pinching her own perfectly sculpted chin with one hand in amazement. "Something's not right here... Are you going on a date? Is there someone you like at your birthday party tonight?"

Cheyenne hit upon something true: Kate had recently developed a crush on a top student at campus and had gone to great lengths to join the basketball club as part of the support staff. Unfortunately, the guy was too aloof and had never shown any interest in her.

Influenced by those around her, however, she decided to invite him over during tonight's birthday party and confess how much she liked him more directly than before.

Sure enough, Kate blushed slightly before whispering something shocking into Cheyenne's ear, "I tricked him into coming to my birthday party today... Can you cover me tonight while I seduce him?"

"Ha ha ha..." This surprised even Cheyenne!

After a while, she finally calmed down and glanced at Kate, kindly reminding her, "Aren't you afraid your brother will kill you when he finds out? I don't do part-time work as a body collector."

Kate was well prepared for this and answered Cheyenne with a naive and hopeful expression, "Once my plan succeeds , I will be pregnant. It will be too late for my brother to do anything, and that guy will take responsibility for me."

"Do you think it's that easy to make it in one attempt?"

If so, she would have been pregnant with Kelvin's baby long ago. Well, forget it, the case scenario was not the same. Kelvin always used birth control everytime they did it because he thought she was unworthy of having his baby.

Kate had never experienced this before. In all the domineering CEO romance novels she's read, the female protagonist always gets pregnant on the first try, and she thought it was that simple...

At a glance, she seemed to know nothing. Cheyenne licked her lips and looked at her sharply, "Do you have any strategic plans for the battle?"

The latter nodded honestly and blushed with shyness all over their face.

"Firstly, you have to accompany me to buy attire."

After speaking, she pulled Cheyenne into a fancy and high-end lingerie store. She immediately called out to the saleswoman and asked straightforwardly, "Miss, do you have any sexy underwear here?"

Her question startled the saleswoman, and suddenly there was a hint of something in her gaze as she looked at the two of them.

These two look like students! RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

Though suspicious, the young saleswoman led the two to the corresponding area and smiled at them, saying: "Everything is here. Would you like to look for yourselves or would you like me to recommend something for you?"

"Thank you, Miss, we'll take care of it ourselves."

Kate's fair face turned red, with two blushes appearing on her cheeks as she stuttered in response.

As she spoke, she quietly lifted her eyes and looked over. Her fair face was even pink on her neck, and her eyes lit up!

"Kate, be more reserved."

"Ahem, okay."
