She Became Rich After Divorce novel Chapter 412

Chapter 412: She Smiles at Him

Kelvin's heart grew sour with jealousy as he witnessed the harmonious scene between Cheyenne and Eddie. How could she be so happy smiling at another man? Juliana, noticing Kelvin ignoring her, stomped her foot in anger, secretly frustrated.

"Mr. Foley? Mr. Foley..."

But the man walked right past her without acknowledging her presence, his gaze fixed on Cheyenne and Eddie not far away. They seemed engrossed in a conversation, their lips almost touching as Cheyenne whispered in Benson's ear. Didn't she have any sense of shame?

"Eddie, look at this soft mass on Director Liu's abdomen, it doesn't feel right."

"Really?"

Eddie curiously placed his hand on Jase's abdomen, accidentally brushing against Cheyenne's hand. Despite it being a brief moment and through a layer of white rubber gloves, it caused Kelvin's eyebrows to furrow.

"Really? Let me have a look too!"

Suddenly, Kelvin walked over and inserted himself between the two, smoothly pushing Eddie aside. His hand boldly covered Cheyenne's hand. It was so petite; his hand could easily encompass it.

Unfortunately, after just a moment, she retrieved her hand, looking at him with eyes that seemed to see a monster.

Somewhat surprised, she spoke, "Don't you have mysophobia?"

Kelvin's mysophobia was so severe that it was maddening. For example, she once expressed her desire to adopt a cat. Of course, he didn't allow it because he believed animals carried a lot of bacteria and their fur was unclean.

But then one day, Cheyenne found a black stray dog on the street and named it Chance. Its front paw had been accidentally run over by a car, so it walked around limping, looking extremely pitiful.

So she secretly brought Chance home and kept it in the warehouse, bringing food and water there every day to take care of it.

When Kelvin discovered it, he flew into a rage. It took a lot of pleading for him to let Chance stay. However, he demanded that the housekeeper wash Chance three times a day... As a result, the once fluffy dog, due to excessive bathing, started losing hair and turned into something resembling a dachshund.

Unable to bear these rules, Chance secretly dug a hole under the fence in the corner of the warehouse one sunny evening and ran away, never to return.

Now Kelvin was touching a dead body with his own hand... It was something that would have been beyond belief in the past.

Kelvin was feeling sick to his stomach, even more so than when he was forced to wear someone else's shoes. The veins on the back of his hand were prominent, exposing his current state of mind. However, he had to grit his teeth and endure it.

"It's... it's nothing. Just searching for evidence," he managed to squeeze out through clenched teeth.

Cheyenne didn't quite believe his explanation and calmly walked up to Rex.

"Mr. Wood, there's something I must discuss with you. I suspect there are many suspicious aspects to Mr. Terry's death and I would like to perform an autopsy to further examine it. I kindly ask for your approval."

Juliana's words brought everyone into a contemplative silence, freezing the atmosphere. The only sound that could be heard was Jase's wife sobbing softly, creating an echo in the empty corridor. It felt as if there were two crying voices resonating.

Jase's sister, Mrs. Chambers, held her husband's hands, tears streaming down her face as she cried and said, "My brother is already dead, and you still want to defend Miss Lawrence?"

Cheyenne shrugged her shoulders, her voice filled with helplessness. "This is the most direct and clear method."

However, Mrs. Chambers refused to agree. Her brother had died a miserable death. She couldn't bear the thought of him being dissected after death, leaving him without a complete body. As a religious person, she believed that if someone wasn't buried with a complete body, even in the next life, they would be born with missing limbs.

That was not acceptable.

Jase's wife, a slender and pale woman in her early forties, was the quintessential housewife. Since her appearance, she had been crying non-stop, unable to utter a single word. She said she listened to Juliana and Mrs. Chambers. If they suggested it was okay to perform an autopsy, then she would agree.

In reality, Jase and his wife had a troubled marriage. Before marrying into the family, she was a kindergarten teacher. She came from a rural background, her parents lacked education and savings. She was introduced to Jase, who agreed to marry her because she was obedient and asked for a small dowry.

At first, their marriage of two years was relatively harmonious. But as Jase's position in the hospital grew higher, becoming a department head, he started receiving a lot of flattery. Despite being busy as a doctor, he had his fair share of socializing.

Because she had only given birth to a daughter after so many years of marriage, Jase had an affair outside and even had a son with that woman.

She could only barely survive by reading the moods of these siblings.
