She Became Rich After Divorce novel Chapter 268

Chapter 268: The Judge

The atmosphere fell silent for a moment, and after several seconds, Sam finally laughed. He slowly got up and reached for the Bible on the table.

Quickly flipping to a certain page in the middle, he handed it to Kelvin.

"Kelvin, is this what you were talking about? I actually discussed stories from Bible with you a long time ago, but you weren't interested so I didn't bring it up again."

As he mentioned this, Kelvin remembered.

Sam was very interested in Bible, so he talked about "the Garden of Eden" with him.

He said, "Revelation" in Bible states: "The great dragon was hurled down--that ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan."

The serpent represents all the devilish aspects in the world, such as temptation and empty beauty.

On the other hand, the eagle, as depicted in the Bible, lives a life that is "heavenly" and is closest to God. It symbolizes the divine nature and judgment of God.

The totem, therefore, conveys the meaning of judging all the wickedness in the world.

This totem expresses the meaning: judging all evil things in this world.

Kelvin saw this totem again which looked almost identical to what was carved on coins before. His heart skipped a beat - did those people coincidentally come across it because of widespread printing of the Bible?

"Sam, can I borrow your Bible? Recently I've become interested in Western mythology too," Kelvin proactively asked for something which was rare for him.

He elegantly picked up his wine glass again taking another sip with sincere yet bright smile lighting up his gentle face like soft light rays shining upon it saying: "Of course you can take it; return it later."

"Thank you; I'll give it back later," replied Kelvin as he left holding onto the book, then pushed open door wanting to leave but couldn't help turning back looking at Sam still sitting on sofa and reminding him:

"Better not drink too much alcohol early morning since it's bad for your stomach."

"No worries; I'm not going into work today."

...

The Foley Mansion.

Old Mr. Foley woke up when Kelvin returned back into bedroom where his grandpa sat half upright at bedside with slightly clearer consciousness now present.

Sitting next to him was an elderly man with slightly white temples, who looked about sixty years old. He wore a black long robe jacket and had a delicate silver badge on his chest.

He looked quite refined and elegant, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed reading glasses. He seemed to be the grandfather's friend.

Old Mr. Foley saw him come in, waved at Kelvin and smiled with some happiness in his expression. "Kelvin, come here. Meet Mr. Chambers, he is my lifelong friend and also the president of calligraphy and painting association."

"Ahem! Hasn't the tea been brewed already? Hurry up and bring it over," Rex said as he glared at Juliana and coughed to remind her not to go too far.

Juliana finally realized that she was being impolite. She should have handed the tea to her father first for him to give it to old Mr. Foley. But she wanted to show off in front of Kelvin.

So she walked straight past her father and handed the first cup of tea directly to old Mr. Foley with a soft sweet voice saying, "Old Mr. Foley, please have some tea."

Old Mr. Foley looked embarrassed as he accepted the cup but then passed it on immediately to Rex saying, "Guests come first; you go ahead."

"There's no need for so much courtesy between us; old man, don't be polite," replied Rex.

Emelia happened upon Miss Chambers' behavior just then; she curled up one corner of her mouth into a disdainful smile, "No good deed goes unpunished."

In Emelia's eyes Miss Chambers was even more hypocritical than Abbie - lacking any status or position except for having better family background than Abbie.

Her voice wasn't low. Since inside this room everything was quiet, everyone heard what she said clearly.

Rex immediately turned red-faced without daring say anything while Juliana lifted up her chin looking over at Emilia wondering who this person was?

It turned out that it was Miss Foley from the Foley family - an ignorant little miss who didn't even finish middle school!

What does she have besides her background that makes her so proud?
