She Became Rich After Divorce novel Chapter 171

Chapter 171: Oscar Awards

The lights were bright, illuminating the grand and classical living room filled with people. On the coffee table were barbecue, beer, spicy seafood and so on. As soon as Cheyenne walked in, all eyes turned to her and time seemed to stand still for a moment.

Her stomach growled at the sight of all the delicious food. She sniffed the air and asked eagerly, "Is that spicy crawfish?"

Kate snapped her fingers and stood up from the couch. "You got it right! I ordered your favorite spicy crawfish for you. The shells are already peeled off."

Cheyenne grinned in delight. She loved eating crawfish but hated peeling them because she was too lazy to wash her hands afterwards. So, she had developed a unique skill - being able to spit out crawfish shells - which amazed everyone who saw it.

Omari kept his seat next to him for Cheyenne while Iker sat beside him with an icy expression on his face. Across from them, Tanner was sweating profusely from eating too much spice.

Cheyenne remembered that these people had been at odds before she left home just a few hours ago but now they seemed like old friends getting along well together.

Reece could only choose to sit with Kate on the couch since there wasn't any space left on Cheyenne's side.

Kate moved her hips and noticed the young man who came in with Cheyenne.

"By the way, Cheyenne, who is this handsome guy?"

Dominic blushed at being called "handsome guy".

He actually saw the lovely Kate sitting on the sofa as soon as he entered the door just now. She was sitting with her legs crossed on the sofa, her white shirt and chestnut hair complementing each other, and her lovely round face under the light, with a lively look in her eyes.

When she smiled, it reminded people of a sunflower under the sunshine.

Cheyenne crossed her legs and casually explained, "His name is Dominic, he's a member of my gang."

As the words fell, everyone was surprised except for Reece.

Dominic was shyly touching the back of his head. Despite being a 1. 85-meter-tall, 150-pound man, his eyes were filled with watery light and he had a face full of coyness.

A gust of night wind swept in through the window, and everyone felt a little queasy at the same time.

"Ahem, alright. To get back on track, Miss Lawrence, how did things go for you at Soar Casino tonight?"

Iker cleared his throat and placed the bamboo stick in his hand on the table, with a serious expression.

Talking about tonight's events, Reece was excited like he had just taken a shot of adrenaline. He suddenly stood up and grabbed a bottle of beer.

"Damn, Cheyenne is amazing! When did this happen? I can't believe I didn't know," Kate reminisced about high school with her.

She remembered how they both ate and slept all day long.

Omari was also curious about what happened.

Dominic raised his hand quietly before speaking up, "I... I'm one of those thugs."

"Yes, but they all knelt down and begged for mercy. Hilarious!"

Cheyenne had finished eating her bowl of noodles; she checked the time - it was already 9:30 PM.

"Get to the point! I'm tired," she said impatiently.

"Okay okay okay... I need some background first though - really! Later on, with this group of thugs leading us there, we found the casino eventually. After much deliberation on my part, I decided that it would be best if I distracted those bodyguards while Cheyenne disguised herself as a waiter upstairs gathering information."

As Reece finished talking, Dominic added in quickly, not wanting to be left out. "And then in the hall where everyone could see me causing trouble and distracting them even more so that our Cheyenne could buy some time."
