She Became Rich After Divorce

Chapter 50: Unexpected Guest

Chapter 50: Unexpected Guest

No one expected that Cheyenne, a woman who seemed to have no power or influence could convince Iker to treat his leg. Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

In the past three years, Kai had found countless doctors for Iker's illness.

But all were driven out of the villa by him without exception.

Only Miss Lawrence succeeded, which made everyone look at her with new eyes.

Thalia exchanged a glance with her son and there was a hint of killing intent in her beautiful eyes that disappeared in an instant.

It was already after eight o'clock in the evening when Cheyenne and Layne finished dinner. During this time, Layne would stay at Lawrence Villa temporarily.

Nora felt disgusted when she found out. She didn't like living with this old man. But Cheyenne was the villa's owner, so technically, Nora didn't have the right to live here instead.

On Layne's first day living here, George respectfully called Layne and chatted with him. However, the next day, he used work as an excuse to leave early and come home late. Malaya didn't notice anything unusual about her husband and continued with her plans.

The following day, unexpected guests arrived at the villa! Nora was wearing a school uniform and sitting next to an old man with a proud smile on her face. The old man looked slightly older than Cheyenne's grandfather with gray hair, dressed in an expensive brown-black suit, and had narrow eyes that resembled those of a sly fox when he smiled.

This was Nora's grandfather, Zack Mitchell, who would soon be celebrating his 70th birthday.

The Mitchell family used to be just an ordinary working-class family in Akloit. Zack worked as an accountant in a factory while his wife was a nurse. They had one son and one daughter together.

Their son, Xander Mitchell, dropped out of middle school and became known as a troublemaker in the community who spent his days idling around instead of working hard like everyone else.

Malaya, on the other hand, was a determined young woman who successfully gained admission to college. She studied textile engineering and after graduation, she landed a job as a technician at the Edwards family factory.

As fate would have it, Malaya met Selah and became friends with her. The factory's leader promoted Malaya to be a manager given that Malaya's education background and friendship with Selah.

At that time, George had become engaged to Selah.

Malaya earned enough money in the city to bring her entire family from their rural home in Akloit to live with her. Knowing that the Edwards family had money, she stole some things from Selah to help support her own family.

Soon enough, Xander, Malaya's older brother, transformed into a wealthy man whom everyone wanted as their son-in-law.

With Malaya's introduction and recommendation, Xander married Daisy Riley, the lady of the Riley family.

The Riley family agreed to marry off their daughter because they saw how well connected Malaya was within the Edwards family circles.

After the Edwards family went bankrupt, George took over its factories.

Tensions between him and Selah grew because Malaya kept sowing discords.

Furthermore, he spent most of his days at work.

With the convenience of their work, Malaya was promoted from workshop manager to George's secretary. They ended up together and she became pregnant without his baby. When George found out about the pregnancy, he became even more determined to have a son.

Selah was beautiful but unfortunately a retard. She also refused to let George touch her at night and would cry and kick him out of the room. Despite being married for years, George only had memories of their wedding night when they slept in the same room but not the same bed.

It wasn't until Selah became pregnant that George realized why the Edwards family had arranged for them to marry. However, Selah's health was poor and toxins from her body could potentially be passed down to her child.

Cheyenne's healthy development was already a miracle in itself. Old Mr. Edwards hinted that Selah should not have any more children.

Thus, George kept Malaya as a mistress while promising her that he would divorce Selah so they could start anew with their child once it was born.

As time passed by, Malaya grew increasingly worried about what would happen if she gave birth to a daughter instead of a son, fearing that George might abandon them.

So, she must let George marry her as soon as possible.

After much thought, she decided to take the initiative!

After dressing up, she went to find Selah with her big belly and showed off that she was carrying George's son in front of Selah.

She also attributed the decline of the Edwards family to Selah and urged Selah to leave George.

Selah was a retard. When she heard Malaya say that her husband and father had abandoned her, she immediately fainted on the spot.

After waking up, she was in a worse condition.

Her baby was born prematurely, and she died due to excessive bleeding.

On the same day Selah passed away, Malaya used medication to induce labor and give birth to the baby early.

Because George wished Malaya to give birth to a son, George went directly from the company to Malaya after finishing his work.

He didn't know that the day he became a father, Selah died.

Malaya was in pain for a day and a night, and she did not expect to give birth to a daughter.

Although she was very disappointed, she was not so anxious anymore because Selah had died and she gave birth to Nora. George would finally marry her.

Three days later, George hastily handled the funeral arrangements for Selah, but did not marry Malaya at the first opportunity.

Because at that time, he had an affair with another woman.

During Malaya's postpartum period, he got involved with another woman on the advice of his sister- in-law Daisy.

Malaya didn't make a scene when she found out, but instead stayed in his villa with their child.

She waited for George to break up with the other woman and come back to her side.

She soon became pregnant again, this time finally having a son.

That year, Cheyenne was four years old, Nora was only one day younger than her; and one-year- old Sean began learning how to walk.

After mourning his wife for four years, George finally remarried.

He brought his mistress and illegitimate child into the public eye under the pretext of needing a woman to help take care of Cheyenne.

The Mitchell family prospered greatly from this point on. Many of Selah's possessions ended up in their hands due to Malaya. They sold these items and turned them into assets while starting their own business.
