Chapter 171: Oscar Awards


    Chapter 171: Oscar Awards


    The lights were bright, illuminating the grand and ssical 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


    toozy 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 hairplementing 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 exined, "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 ced 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.


    ncing around, he had a mysterious smile on his face.


    "Tonight is the most glorious and heroic moment in my short 20-plus years of life! I dare say that if it


    were made into a movie, it would definitely be nominated for the Academy Award for Best Picture!"


    He patted his chest with one hand and said, "By then, I, Reece, will be the winner of both the Best


    Actor and Best Director Oscars, and Cheyenne will be my leadingdy."


    "And what about me?" Dominic, noticing that his name hadn''t been mentioned, asked nervously.


    Reece gave him a disdainful nce. "You''re not worthy. I saw you hiding under the table, ready to


    run away! You aren''t loyal to us, and yet you still dare to call yourself a member of the underworld."


    Dominic sighed. He had two or three dozen subordinates under hismand. If something


    happened to him, what would happen to those who depended on him?


    "Enough with your nonsense," Kate impatiently kicked out her foot towards Reece.


    Reece yelped and turned around, rubbing his butt as he angrily red at her. "The point is that


    Cheyenne and I were surrounded by a group of thugs while we were looking for the casino. They


    wanted to rob us."


    Dominic in the room felt guilty and lowered his head.


    "And then just as I was about to be a hero and save Cheyenne, it turns out that she''s actually their


    boss! Can you believe it?"


    "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. Hrious!"


    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."
