When Lucas approached, he realized that the man and woman standing opposite Cheyenne should be a couple because they were linking arms. The woman was young and around the same age as Cheyenne. But at this moment, she was looking at Cheyenne with mockery and malice in her eyes. She obviously wasn’t a kind person.
“Wait for me inside,” Lucas instructed Flynn beside him.
“Alright, Lucas, I’ll wait for you inside!” Flynn was sensible enough to enter the DC Hotel alone.
Meanwhile, Lucas walked toward Cheyenne. He didn’t know why his wife was here, but seeing the woman opposite her, he was worried that she was being bullied.
As Lucas approached, he heard the young woman’s sharp voice. “Cheyenne Carter, it’s not that I look down on you, but your Brilliance Corporation is just a small company in Orange County. How can you be qualified to come here and compete with the big companies?
“Besides, you don’t even have an invitation, yet you want to go in? You must be delusional! I suggest you behave yourself and go back to Orange County. How can you possibly survive in DC?”
With a sullen look on her face, Cheyenne said coldly, “I don’t think I need your permission on where I develop my company, do I?”
Regina Wayne chuckled and said in disdain, “Are you saying that I’m meddling with your business? I’m just giving you a kind reminder!
“If you weren’t my classmate in college, I wouldn’t have bothered to care about your nonsense! Don’t you agree?”
The woman named Regina Wayne was a native of DC, but she went to college in Orange County and used to be classmates with Cheyenne.
But although Regina’s looks were considered decent among women, she was far inferior compared to Cheyenne, who was lauded as the most beautiful woman in Orange County.
Thus, Regina was indescribably jealous of Cheyenne, who was naturally beautiful without much makeup and could easily attract suitors.
So since college, she had compared herself with Cheyenne everywhere and often said that she was much better than Cheyenne since she was from DC.
But Cheyenne basically didn’t pay attention to her, and the two went separate ways after graduating from college and no longer interacted.
But now, they suddenly ran into each other at the entrance of the DC Hotel.
“Oh, right, by the way, Cheyenne, I heard that you’re already married, and your child is already a few years old?
“You’re such a poor friend. Not only did you secretly get married and have a child, but you didn’t even invite us, your former classmates, to your wedding. Those who know might say that you look down on us and couldn’t be bothered to invite us. But those who don’t know might make wild speculations that you did something disgraceful with someone, which is why you had to rush to get married!”
Regina covered her mouth and laughed, but her words were full of malice. Before Cheyenne even said anything, Regina suddenly said, “Oh, right, I’ve also heard that the man you married is a live-in husband who sponges off you, and his family is so poor that they need to rely on your support! Cheyenne, you were the school belle back in college, and you had so many suitors. How did you end up like this?”
While speaking, Regina held the arm of the man beside her and introduced with a smile, “Here, let me introduce to you my fiancé, Nicholas. He’s a member of the Williams family, one of the eight most powerful families in DC!”
Nicholas was actually much older than Regina, and he seemed to be at least 45 years old. He was balding at the top of his head and had a big beer belly, a greasy face, and yellowish tobacco-stained teeth. His looks were not appealing at all.
More importantly, ever since he and Regina stood in front of Cheyenne, he had been ogling at Cheyenne without any restraint. He was extremely rude.
“Hey, gorgeous! How about we get to know each other better?” Nicholas stretched a hand out toward Cheyenne while staring at her fair and tiny hand.
Cheyenne frowned slightly and said coldly without shaking his hand, “Nice to meet you.”
A touch of disappointment and displeasure immediately appeared in Nicholas’s eyes.
He didn’t expect this beautiful woman in front of him wouldn’t even give him a chance to shake hands.
He only wanted to take the opportunity to squeeze her hand and take some liberties with her, but he wouldn’t do anything to her!
But Nicholas soon covered his expression, withdrew his hand, and pretended to be generous. “Gorgeous, the Williams have a high status in DC and hold great authority. Feel free to come to me if you need help with anything. I’ll definitely help you!”
Noticing Regina’s displeased expression, Nicholas added, “No matter what, you were my fiancée’s classmate!”
Regina’s expression became a little better, and she smiled coquettishly. “Honey, you’re so good to me!”
She hugged Nicholas’s arm, stood on tiptoe, and kissed his greasy face loudly.
Cheyenne felt that it was an awful sight, and she didn’t want to continue speaking to them. She just wanted to leave quickly.
“Oh, right, Cheyenne, you probably don’t know this, but my fiancé brought me here today to participate in the land auction! He’s representing the Williams to bid for the finale item, the plot of land in the eastern suburbs of DC! The starting price for that land is five hundred million dollars! I’m afraid you’ve never seen that much money in your life, right?”
Regina once again deliberately showed off her fiancé’s status and the Williams’ wealth in front of Cheyenne.
Cheyenne really didn’t want to continue wasting time with these two people. She smiled pretentiously. “Is that so? Good luck then.”
Then she planned to leave.
“Honey, you’re here!” An extremely familiar voice suddenly sounded in Cheyenne’s ears.
She turned around and saw the tall and handsome Lucas walking toward her with a smile.
“Honey, why are you here too?” Cheyenne asked in surprise.
“Honey, did you forget that I’m also here to participate in the land auction for the piece of land in the eastern suburbs of DC?!” Lucas said with a gentle smile.
Cheyenne was a little surprised. Regina was still bragging and showing off in front of her just now, telling her that Nicholas, her fiancé, was representing the Williams in the auction for the land in the eastern suburbs of DC. She wondered if he were eying the same land as Lucas.
Regina held Nicholas’s arm, sized Lucas up, and suddenly asked sarcastically, “Cheyenne, is this your live-in husband who has been sponging off you?”
When Lucas approached, he realized that the man and woman standing opposite Cheyenne should be a couple because they were linking arms. The woman was young and around the same age as Cheyenne. But at this moment, she was looking at Cheyenne with mockery and malice in her eyes. She obviously wasn’t a kind person.
