Chapter 392: Sinister Conspiracy

Cheyenne was a little worried.

Her initial purpose in attending the exhibition was to socialize and build connections with the entrepreneurs of LA to seek some opportunities for cooperation. But after hearing what Nikki just said, those entrepreneurs didn’t dare to stay here and continue discussing cooperation. In that case, there was no point for her to continue staying any longer.

If Lucas really came in through some questionable means, it would really be better for them to leave on their own before the Coles found out.

“Hubby, why don’t we just leave?” Cheyenne said.

Lucas said with a smile, “Since I’ve already gone through great difficulty to come in, I’ll accompany you around here. Speaking of which, I haven’t accompanied you to such an exhibition yet.”

While speaking, he held onto Cheyenne’s hand.

Cheyenne naturally wouldn’t let go of him, but she felt a little shy because there were lots of people around them.

Kenneth stared at their hands, his eyes full of fury.

Seeing that her plan was going awry, Nikki hurriedly rebuked, “Lucas Gray, you good-for-nothing, how dare you stand here brazenly without an invitation? If you want to die, don’t implicate us! What are you waiting for? Get lost!”

Lucas said coldly, “If you’re afraid of being implicated, you’d better stay away from me! I’d be more than happy if you could tell others that you don’t know us!”

Lucas wished that people with ulterior motives like Nikki and Kenneth would stay as far away from him as possible.

“What did you just say?! Bastard, listen up. If you don’t get lost now, I’ll immediately tell the Coles that you deliberately sneaked in to cause trouble!” Nikki threatened in anger.

Lucas wasn’t intimidated at all. He said indifferently, “Go ahead. When the Coles come looking for me, I’ll tell them that you brought me here. Well, you’re Cheyenne’s cousin, so you can’t shirk the responsibility.”

“You!” Nikki was furious.

She wanted to threaten Lucas with the Coles, but she didn’t expect Lucas to threaten her instead!

Kenneth suddenly interjected, “Forget it, Nikki. Don’t bother with someone like him.”

Nikki hurriedly said, “In case this bastard really sneaked in through some means, the Coles will definitely blame us too!”

Kenneth glanced at Lucas coldly and snorted. “Hmph, it’s fine. Everyone saw that we didn’t come in with him just now. Even if he gets caught by the Coles, it won’t have anything to do with us. Let’s go!”

Then he turned around and left.

He had indeed wanted to take this opportunity to spend more time with Cheyenne. But since Lucas appeared and got in his way, he didn’t have the chance to do so anymore.

It would just be a waste of time to stay any longer.

Only then did Nikki realize that Lucas was just trying to scare her. After glowering at him scornfully, she followed closely behind Kenneth and left as well.

After they left, Cheyenne finally turned to ask Lucas worriedly, “Speaking of which, how exactly did you come in? The Coles… aren’t going to discover anything, are they?”

She knew that Lucas didn’t have an invitation card, so she was worried that he had really sneaked in through some questionable means.

Lucas smiled. “Don’t worry. Do you remember who Flynn Davis is?”

Cheyenne nodded and answered, “Of course I do. He was the general manager of the Stardust Corporation. I went to meet him a few times regarding the cooperation with the Carters back then.”

Lucas chuckled. “Yes, but he’s now the general manager of the Solar Corporation in LA, and this arts center we’re in now belongs to the Solar Corporation. So it’s a piece of cake for him to get an invitation card.”

Cheyenne widened her eyes as she recalled that Lucas had informed her during their journey to LA yesterday morning that the entire Solar Corporation now belonged to him!

“Does that mean that this arts center belongs to you?” Cheyenne asked in shock.

The arts center was a large five-story convention hall that occupied an area of nearly 2,000 square meters. Most importantly, it was located in the center of LA, and the value of this building alone was immeasurable!

Lucas nodded. “Yes, but it’s only a small part of the Solar Corporation. It’s nothing much.”

While being astonished, Cheyenne couldn’t help rolling her eyes. He’s obviously humble-bragging to show off his wealth!

But this also meant that what Lucas said was the truth. Since he was the true owner of this arts center, it was naturally normal for him to be granted access.

But Cheyenne didn’t dare to imagine how wealthy Lucas really was!

After putting her mind at ease, she held onto his hand and started browsing the antiques on display in the exhibition leisurely.

On the other hand, after Kenneth and Nikki left, they went straight to another exhibition hall nearby.

“Kenneth, are you really going to let that bastard off and give up on my cousin just like that?” Nikki asked indignantly.

With a broody and sinister gaze in his eyes, Kenneth said, “She’s in such a loving relationship with her husband, and they’re walking through the exhibition hand in hand! Hmph, do you think I’d continue pestering her?”

Nikki sneered. “Who knows? Maybe that good-for-nothing relied on that trick to pester Cheyenne! But Kenneth, you’re different from him. You’re the scion of the Parkers. Besides, Cheyenne is a married woman and a mother of one. Strictly speaking, she’s not worthy of you!”

Kenneth snorted coldly without saying anything.

Of course, he knew that Cheyenne wasn’t good enough for him, and he didn’t plan to marry her anyway. He merely wanted to bed her and toy with her because she was pretty.

But he didn’t expect her to be so stubborn and resistant toward him, which infuriated him greatly.

Nikki understood what Kenneth meant. She looked around before whispering into Kenneth’s ear, “Kenneth, if you just want to toy with her, I can help you come up with a good idea!”

Kenneth turned to look at Nikki before asking with raised brows, “Oh? Isn’t she your cousin? Can you bear to let me toy with her as I please?”

Nikki said disdainfully, “Why not? I don’t see her as my cousin at all. She’s just a shameless bitch who’s been notorious for a long time! She’s deliberately putting on airs and pretending to be high and mighty just because she knows that you fancy her! She’s just a horrible wench who got embroiled in a scandal with her good-for-nothing husband a long time ago. Not only is she a disgrace to the Carters, but she implicated us, her relatives, too! She’s ruined our reputation! If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have bothered to care about someone like her!”

Kenneth could naturally tell from Nikki’s words that she was jealous of Cheyenne and was just slandering her. But he didn’t care at all and merely said with great interest, “In that case, if you can get her into my bed, I’ll give you a luxurious BMW. How does that sound?”

Overjoyed, Nikki hurriedly agreed, “Thank you so much, Kenneth! Just wait while I send her to you tonight!”

Kenneth licked his lips. “Tonight? What do you plan to do?”

Nikki smiled cheekily and came up to Kenneth before whispering into his ear, “Didn’t her husband agree to have dinner with us tonight out of his greed for a free meal? Why don’t we…”

After whispering her plan to Kenneth, he beamed with joy too. “Sure, we’ll do just that!”
