She Became Rich After Divorce novel Chapter 112

Chapter 112: The Dress Cheyenne Gave Me

Upon receiving the sharp gaze from Iker, Tanner coughed and quickly composed himself. "Ahem... right in front of you, next to the long table," he said.

Iker followed his direction and indeed saw a slender figure dressed in red sitting on the sofa with her legs crossed. The woman had her back facing him, but he could see that she had tied up her long hair and had a delicate frame.

She was wearing the dress he gave her.

A faint smile appeared on Iker's usually cold face.

Nora basked in the attention of all the men around her. However, her reverie was interrupted by a uniformed waiter who approached her.

"Miss Lawrence, Mr. Todd would like to see you."

Mr. Todd! It was none other than heirs of the Todd family, but she wondered whether it was Master Iker or Master Davon.

Nora immediately ruled out the former since she knew that he rarely made public appearances after his leg injury. So it must be Master Davon then?

Although Davon was born from their father's second wife, with Iker's disability and their youngest brother still being too young to take over the Todd family business yet, it seemed likely that Davon would eventually inherit everything.

Besides, Davon was considered one of the most eligible bachelors!

"Nora, you're so lucky! Master Davon personally requested to meet with you; it seems like he has taken an interest in you," one of two wealthy heiresses Nora just met earlier said sourly.

The other girl didn't bother hiding her envy either. "That might not necessarily be true though; everyone knows Madam Thalia of the Todd family has high standards when it comes to choosing potential brides for Master Davon. It seems she's considering a matrimonial alliance with the Davidson family."

The Todd family and the Davidson family are considered a match.

As for the Lawrence family, they just have a third-rate company no elite has ever heard about.

But Nora wasn't one to back down easily. She lifted up her chin defiantly while pointing at both girls. "This dress I'm wearing right now is actually a gift from Master Davon himself! Who says I can't marry into the Todd family? Once I become Mrs. Todd someday, you two will probably still be struggling out there!"

Her sudden change in attitude caught both girls off guard as they stared at each other incredulously. Just moments ago, the three of them were chatting amicably, but it seems that they have a falling out now.

Nora followed the waiter into a quieter private room, separated from the outside by a wooden structure with a vintage touch.

A white table was set up, and Iker sat at the table, with Tanner standing behind him, leaning forward to pour a drink for him.

"Mr. Todd, Miss Lawrence is here," the waiter said.

Outside the screen, Nora watched intently as she was guided in and then left alone. Her heart raced with excitement.

Suddenly, a magnetic voice came from inside. "Didn't we agree that I would come pick you up tonight? Why did you come by yourself?"

Iker arrived late, having taken a detour from the Lawrence Villa, hoping to pick up Cheyenne on the way.

However, to his surprise, he found himself empty-handed.

The servants informed him that the Lawrence family members had all left for the banquet.

'Master Davon went to pick me up?'

At this thought, Nora blushed slightly and felt an unexpected thrill. She didn't know when Master Davon started liking her. Did he secretly have feelings for her before?

Coughing lightly, Nora sweetly replied, "Mr. Todd, I'm sorry I didn't know you were coming."

Iker frowned unconsciously at how strange she sounded and asked Tanner skeptically, "Are you sure it's Cheyenne?"

Tanner wasn't entirely sure but answered confidently, "That dress was personally ordered by me and specifically sent to Miss Lawrence; there can be no mistake!" There couldn't possibly be another identical dress in this world.

"Maybe Miss Lawrence is just shy," suggested Tanner.

Shy? He couldn't imagine what Cheyenne would look like being shy in front of him!

"How did this dress end up on you?" Tanner took off his sunglasses, revealing a handsome face.

Just the look in his eyes was fierce, like a little wolf, and it scared the woman.

"What are you guys saying? I... I don't understand," Nora stuttered, lifting her feet and preparing to leave.

"Stop her!"

As soon as Iker finished speaking, Tanner's figure flashed and blocked in front of Nora.

The big hand grabbed the girl's arm and pulled her in front of Master Iker.

The latter's cold and sharp gaze made Nora feel a chill spreading from the soles of her feet straight to the bottom of her heart.

Scary man.

"Tell me, did you steal this dress?"

Iker's gaze fell on the necklace around her neck, and his anger intensified.

The gem on this necklace was his mother's heirloom! It had been defiled by this woman.

Tears rolled down Nora's cheeks as she cried out, "No, it's not true. This dress... it belongs to Cheyenne. She made me wear it!"

"Bang!"

With a loud bang, the exquisite rosewood screen was shattered by Master Iker's punch.

Sawdust is flying.
