Chapter 188 Detoxification
He exuded an air of nobility and had a face that was just as handsome as any A-list celebrity in the
entertainment industry. With a worth of over billions, he was a golden bachelor. Who wouldn''t be
attracted to such a man?
Unfortunately, he was too perfect and radiated an icy coldness that kept people at arm''s length. For
years, Cheyenne had been the only woman by his side besides Abbie.
Juliana''s heart skipped a beat and she casually whispered, "Grandpa, it''s been so long since you
visited the Foley Mansion. Why don''t we pay old Mr. Foley a visit?"
"Hmm?" Rex looked at her with suspicion in his eyes as if he could read her thoughts with one
nce while arching his eyebrows.
She wasn''t exactly known for being polite or well-mannered; she would even refuse to visit friends
when they invited her out before.
"Why would we go visit old Mr. Foley for no reason?"
Juliana bit her lip and blushed slightly before answering like an innocent girl, "Actually I want to see
Kelvin."
She told her grandpa about how the Foley Group was looking for someone to endorse their jewelry
line and she wanted tond that endorsement deal.
Rex became extremely angry and mmed her forehead hard enough for it to echo throughout the
room while scolding her loudly with puffed-up cheeks, "My friendship with old Mr. Foley is purely
tonic without any ulterior motives! I won''t allow you to visit him with your own agenda."
"Furthermore," He continued sternly, "I forbid you from seeing Kelvin! That boy is not someone you
should mess around with."
"He may be talented but look at Cheyenne who is equally exceptional yet still can''t catch his eye?
What makes you think you canpare yourself against Cheyenne?"
When Rex mentioned Cheyenne''s name so highly while simultaneously belittling her, Juliana grew
even more infuriated.
"What''s wrong with me? I''m already quite famous now myself! Cheyenne means nothing but some
abandoned woman!"

"You can''t say things like that!" Rex retorted firmly."Didn''t you see how well she did in today''s art
competition? Even I feel inferior to her!"
Juliana couldn''t care less about winning two first-ce awards or earning four hundred thousand
dors through additional points awarded by old Mr. Edwards'' influence alone!
Besides, she thought, the younger generation doesn''t need those things anymore. They just need
good looks, a rich husband, and never have worry about clothes or food again!
"She''s just a little talented in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. What''s so great about that?"
Rex was frustrated and pounded his chest and stomped his feet. How could Juliana, as thedy of
the Chambers family,ck ambition?
"What''s so great about it? Then why don''t you know how to do it?"
Juliana blushed with anger andined to him, "Are you my grandfather? Why are you always
taking someone else''s side?"
Rex didn''t bother with her now; his son and daughter-inw had spoiled this granddaughter.
Before leaving, he reminded Juliana again, "Remember not to provoke Kelvin. He is not someone
you can mess with."
He also needed to talk to Cheyenne about buying that piece of calligraphy.
Hearing this warning from him made Juliana even more unwilling.
She didn''t believe it!
If even Cheyenne could marry him, why couldn''t she? Besides, Cheyenne had divorced Kelvin. So
what if he was with Miss Berry now? That old woman was sickly; how could shepare with
herself as a beautiful starlet? She decided she would visit the Foley Mansion tomorrow!
...
The Todd family.
Cheyenne won first ce in an artpetition which made headlines on TV news.
Kai also loved calligraphy; when he saw Cheyenne''s "Reign Over The World", he really liked it.
He offered three million dors for her work but Rex immediately looked at Cheyenne nervously.
"Miss Lawrence, can we buy your artwork please? Our association wants to include it in the font
library for future generations'' learning."
Undoubtedly this was high praise for her work.
Cheyenne stood there, raising an eyebrow and smiling slightly - she only wrote casually at that time
but never thought that one day her work would be added into the font library.
But she could not offend both sides, so she nodded nonchntly. "I agree to add my artwork into
the font library free of charge."
The words ''free of charge'' impressed Rex who thought highly of her generosity while Kai had
nothing left to say.
She didn''t want money.
Kai knew there was no hope for himself but still couldn''t bear giving up on that piece of art. After
hesitating for a moment, he spoke up again, "Miss Lawrence, if you have time, maybe you can write
me another character piece ''A Thousand Horses Running'', the price is up to you."
Cheyenne nodded indifferently saying something funny. "Sure thing. I''m not short on cash right now.
Let''s talk when I need some money."
Heughed bitterly, teasing, "Miss Lawrence, do you ever need money?"
With this talent, she could make money faster than a printing press.
The woman nodded seriously. "I need it."
And she needed it badly.
She had so many things she wanted to do, but the little money in her hands was far from enough.
After speaking, she followed her grandfather Layne into Iker''s Estate.
Today, Iker looked slightly better than usual.
He wore a white shirt with ck suit pants. Sitting in front of the French window, the warm sunshine
outside shone on his face and made him look even more handsome and gentle.
Cheyenne was fascinated by his appearance. She never expected that he could be so gentle when
he usually seemed so cold and aloof.
"You''re here?"
Iker looked at the girl indifferently and nodded lightly before returning to his previous cold
expression. "It''s been a long time since I''ve seen you. How are you feeling?"
He smiled faintly as Tanner served them tea. "I''m doing okay now. My legs don''t itch as much
anymore, and I don''t feel any pain when I sleep at night thanks to old Mr. Edwards'' Cinchona."
Layne proudly stroked his beard and spoke happily, "It wasn''t easy for me to go deep into the
mountains like that; almost got bitten by a poisonous snake! But as long as your legs are getting
better, it was worth it."
"The toxins have been cleared out mostly; the following treatment is in your charge, Cheyenne."
Cheyenne nodded, emotionlessly walked over to Iker and checked his legs after rolling up his pants
legs slightly.
"The next step is going through phase two where we''ll use some medicinal baths along with
acupuncture."
"If everything goes smoothly, tomorrow night will be good for treatment," Cheyenne continued while
handing Tanner a list of medicines they needed for purchaseter that day.
