<h4>Chapter 387: We Are One</h4>

    In fact, she would only let Lucas address her affectionately.


    And she would only let her close friends and family call her ‘Cheyenne’.


    Back then, Cheyenne hadn’t epted Lucas yet, but he wouldn’t call her by her full name either because that would seem inappropriate.


    Cheyenne felt extremely repulsed and disgusted when she heard Keh calling her by her first name and immediately chided him.


    The refined and polite smile on Keh’s face stiffened immediately, and he was full of anger.


    I’m the scion of the Parkers and might very well be the next helmsman. Yet a woman just rebuked me so mercilessly.


    A married wench at that!


    Putting on airs in front of me? Who does she think she is?!


    Keh found it difficult to maintain a warm and gentlemanly smile at this point.


    Noticing Keh’s displeasure, Nikki hurriedly said, “Cheyenne, what’s wrong with you? Keh isn’t an outsider anyway! Besides, let me tell you the truth. We actually received the invitations to this exhibition all thanks to Keh! Otherwise, we wouldn’t have even been able to enter this exhibition hall today!”


    After hearing Nikki trying to im credit for Keh for the invitations, Cheyenne felt a strong urge to return the invitation card to Keh immediately.


    She really didn’t want to be involved with Keh in the slightest, let alone owe him any favors.


    If it were anyone else, it wouldn’t be too bad. But Keh harbored designs on her, so who knows what he would ask of her in return.


    She thought that she would just give this exhibition a miss since there would be plenty of other chances in the future anyway.


    Just as Cheyenne took out the invitation card and wanted to return it to Keh, she heard a familiar voice suddenlye from the side. “Honey!”


    Upon hearing Lucas’s voice, Cheyenne immediately turned around in surprise.


    But she soon thought of Keh standing beside her and began to get a little nervous and afraid that Lucas would misunderstand.


    Just this morning, Nikki had introduced Cheyenne to Keh right in front of Lucas. She even said that Eddie and his wife intended to let her marry Keh.


    Now, Lucas had run into her and Keh.


    Although she definitely didn’t have any feelings for Keh, the fact that they were both at the same ce could easily lead to a misunderstanding.


    “Hubby, I...”


    Just as Cheyenne was trying to exin to Lucas, Nikki immediately red at Lucas and said hostilely, “What are you doing here, you good-for-nothing? Who said you coulde here? Cheyenne, did you ask him toe here?”


    Nikki was extremely displeased, and she even seemed to be questioning Lucas.


    Lucas’s appearance would certainly sabotage her and Keh’s n! She disliked Lucas in the first ce, and now, she wished he would just vanish and get lost as far away as possible!


    Lucas walked toward Cheyenne and said to her after ncing at Nikki coldly, “Cheyenne is my wife. What’s wrong with meing here with her? Who do you think you are? We don’t need your permission to do anything. This is between my wife and me.”


    Lucas’s attitude made Nikki incredibly enraged.


    “Shut up! What are you? You’re not worthy of speaking to me in such a manner!” Nikki rebuked aggressively and red at Lucas in contempt. Then she turned her head to look at Cheyenne. “Cheyenne, aren’t you going a bit too far? Keh went to great lengths to get us these invitations. Why did you get your good-for-nothing husband toe here too?


    “I told you that the antique exhibition today is organized by the Coles, a top family from San Francisco. All the prestigious families and enterprise owners in LA will be sending their representatives to attend the exhibition, and it’s an extremely high-ss gathering! Apart from embarrassing us and making others look down on us, what else can he do? You’d better tell him to get lost before it’s toote!”


    Nikki hated Lucas to begin with, and she had even gotten pped by her own grandfather in public because of the tea leaves Lucas gave Eddie. She had yet to exact revenge on Lucas, but now, he had made an appearance, which would thwart her ns. So Nikki utterly detested Lucas and wished she could degrade him as much as possible.


    “Enough!” Cheyenne was good-tempered, but after hearing Nikki’s repeated insults and derogatoryments about Lucas, she couldn’t help being furious.


    “Lucas is my husband, and I made it clear this morning that I don’t want to hear you insulting him again! Lucas and I are one. Humiliating him is humiliating me too!


    “I don’t mind giving this exhibition a miss. You can have the invitation back!”


    Aftershing out at Nikki, Cheyenne stuffed the invitation card into her hand and turned around to hold Lucas’s arm. She said in a gentle voice, “Hubby, let’s leave!”


    Lucas smiled.


    He knew Cheyenne’s character well. She had always been good-tempered and would rarely get angry.


    But she actually lost her temper and scolded Nikki for his sake. Lucas felt extremely touched.


    In particr, he felt a sweet and fuzzy feeling in his heart after hearing Cheyenne say ‘We are one’.


    He didn’t get the wrong idea and misunderstand that Cheyenne was here for Keh’s sake.


    The only reason Cheyenne agreed toe to this exhibition was so that she could take the opportunity to socialize with the representatives of the prestigious families and enterprises in LA to boost the Brilliance Corporation’s chances of expanding into LA.


    But she was willing to give up this opportunity for him.


    The look in Lucas’s eyes became more and more affectionate as he gazed at Cheyenne.


    Keh narrowed his eyes menacingly with a sullen expression. The more he looked at Lucas, the greater of an eyesore he found him to be!


    On the other hand, the dumbfounded Nikki looked at Cheyenne, who was holding onto Lucas’s arm, before looking down at the invitation card Cheyenne stuffed into her hand. She found it extremely bewildering.


    She remembered that Cheyenne had always disliked Lucas, the ‘good-for-nothing live-in son-inw’. Yet Cheyenne actually didn’t mindshing out at her and even gave up the chance to establish greater connections for the Brilliance Corporation all for Lucas’s sake. It didn’t make sense to her at all!


    But she didn’t have the time to figure out what had happened between Cheyenne and Lucas. She only knew that Cheyenne was currently enraged, and if Cheyenne left now, her n to set Cheyenne up with Keh would fall through!


    After Nikki stole a nce at the sullen Keh, her heart trembled. She hurriedly grabbed Cheyenne’s arm and swung it coquettishly. “Cheyenne, I was wrong. I won’t yell at him again, okay? Please forgive me!


    “The opportunity today is extremely rare. Most importantly, the Coles are participating. If you miss this chance, you won’t get a second one! Don’t let your anger get to you and leave just like that! Think about yourpany. You have to stay for its sake!”


    Cheyenne was about to shake off Nikki’s hand when Lucas suddenly said, “Cheyenne, she’s right. Since you have such a great opportunity, why give it up for no reason? Let’s just go in and take a look!”
