She Became Rich After Divorce
Chapter 428: Envy You

Chapter 428: Envy You

Erica did not respond, her cold gaze fixed on the interactions between the two. It seemed as if she was trying to catch some clues or hints of their relationship.

Gordon touched his nose, feeling somewhat awkward. Erica seemed to have misunderstood his relationship with Miss Lawrence. He straightforwardly asked Erica, "May I ask, Madam Erica, what were you doing at Cloud Hotel on the 18th three months ago?"

As he finished speaking, a brown file folder landed in front of Erica. Her delicate body trembled, clearly taken aback. Strong and composed, she straightened her posture and asked, "What is this?" Cheyenne smiled, her hand supporting her fair, delicate chin, and she looked at Erica with a playful gaze. "There are records of the hotel room reservation, and the video shows signatures from both Aidan and Erica with their ID cards as collateral."

When Erica saw the signed document in front of her, she was clearly shocked. Her face turned pale, and her tightly clenched hands under the table embedded her nails into her palms.

Suddenly, she angrily grabbed her bag and stood up, her words filled with guilt and fear. "I don't know what you're talking about! These are all accusations! There are many people named Erica in the world, maybe it's just someone with the same name as me."

Cheyenne, seeing her obvious guilty demeanor, coldly smiled and mercilessly exposed her lie. "Names may overlap, but what about the ID number? Madam Erica, please explain your relationship with Aidan." Erica stubbornly insisted, "I have no relationship with him; I don't even know anyone named Aidan."

Cheyenne directly placed all the evidence of the hotel records in front of her, her voice loud. "There have been a total of five reservations, Madam Erica, and you're telling me you don't know Aidan. Well, that's fine. I can just take it directly to Mr. Kai. Maybe he knows Aidan."

Upon hearing that Cheyenne would bring this evidence to Kai, Erica slumped back onto the genuine leather chair, her voice trembling. "Please... Miss Lawrence, please don't do this. I'll tell the truth."

"In fact, Aidan is actually... Davon," Erica confessed.

Her and Kelvin's judgment was correct after all.

Cheyenne's bent fingers rhythmically tapped on the table, making a dull sound. She listened attentively as Erica recounted the history between herself and Master Davon.

In reality, Erica had always admired Iker since she was young. However, at that time, Iker had an arranged marriage with Emily, the daughter of the high-ranking president. She knew she was not worthy of Iker, but as long as she could remain in the Todd family as his sister, she thought it would be good enough.

But Erica never expected the turn of events that occurred on her eighteenth birthday. She went to discuss with Davon about welcoming their eldest brother home.

However, when she arrived at the door, she accidentally overheard Thalia and Davon plotting to kill Iker on his way back home. Erica was too terrified at the time, and when she stepped back, she accidentally stepped on a branch and fell, revealing herself.

Davon dragged her into the house and violated her. In the end, he forced her to join him in plotting against Iker, threatening to release the video of their intimate moments if she didn't comply. She had no choice but to call Iker under her own name and trick him into coming back to celebrate her eighteenth birthday.

Davon and Thalia bought off the truck driver to crash into Iker's car to create a man-made car accident.

Originally, their intention was to kill him, but due to an unexpected turn of events, Iker's legs were the only things that ended up broken.

Erica thought that after she had done this, Davon would spare her. She had hoped to escape and start a new life, but Davon did not let her off the hook.

He wanted her to continue poisoning Iker's medicine, but Erica refused Davon's proposal, which led Thalia to threaten to kill her.

So she had to find a way to climb into Kai's bed, thereby finding a new protector.

Davon couldn't bring himself to kill her in the moment, and he also knew that the child was Davon's. Kai was aware of this too.

In Kai's eyes, whether it was a son or a grandson, made no difference. They were all blood of the Todd family, and he couldn't let the twins grow up outside the family.

Furthermore, he had some affection for Erica. His three wives had grown old and lost their allure, while Erica's appearance was undoubtedly outstanding. He had watched her grow up with his own eyes.

This age difference brought a sense of accomplishment to his heart. That way, the idea of killing Erica was dispelled from Thalia's mind.

However, Thalia privately warned Erica multiple times not to interfere in the matters between them and Iker's people, or else she would find a way to make her disappear.

In these three years, Davon, that beast, had forcefully taken her multiple times, using the pretext of visiting his younger brother. Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ FɪndNovᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Erica also knew that the incident with the snake release was orchestrated by Davon, but she dared not speak up.

Erica had a unfortunate life. Her parents died when she was five years old, and she was taken in by the Todd family after a difficult journey.

Under normal circumstances, she should have graduated from a prestigious university and had a bright future. She would have met a wonderful husband and lived a life together. All of that was destroyed the moment she overheard Davon and Thalia's malicious plan.

She could never go back.

Since the moment she chose to betray Iker out of fear, she was unforgivable.

These past three years of miserable existence were spent in constant guilt every single day.

Despite loving Iker deeply, she was forced to give herself to Davon, even serving his father Kai.

In the end, Erica gave a pitiful smile and looked at Cheyenne with envy, whispering, "I actually envy you."

Cheyenne was taken aback by her words - what was there for her to envy?

"I have nothing worth envying. I'm just a discarded woman from a wealthy family, have you forgotten? Madam Erica, you shouldn't have chosen to make a deal with the devil."

Even though she had betrayed Iker, Thalia still hadn't let her off, right?

In that case, it would be better to try and cooperate with Iker, planning in advance for a strategy.

On second thought, Erica, just like Cheyenne, was still an inexperienced young girl when everything happened.

Her luck was average, at least she clearly knew the truth about Kelvin, while Davon was a complete scumbag, not even worth the label of trash.

How could an innocent eighteen-year-old girl compete against two cunning demons?

"Miss Lawrence always easily obtains what others can't. Doesn't that make people envious? Do you know that Iker likes you? I have liked him for over a decade, but it can't compare to the one month you spen with him."

Honestly, Erica felt a sense of unwillingness.

She didn't know how she fell short in comparison to Cheyenne.

In terms of background, Cheyenne wasn't much higher than her. In terms of talent, Cheyenne only graduated from high school, while she had a doctoral degree from a prestigious university.

The only difference was in their figure and appearance, where Cheyenne was truly stunning enough to make any woman jealous.

Her words left Cheyenne bewildered, with an inner voice screaming, 'impossible!'

Iker liked her?

"You misunderstood. Iker doesn't like me. Isn't he in love with his fiancée, Emily?" Otherwise, why would he go to such great lengths to recover his legs?"
