Chapter 73: Kelvin Visits the Todd Mansion
Kai didn't have much of an impression of Kelvin.
Old Mr. Foley was his boss when he was younger, and even though the former had retired now, hisinfluence still remained.
That's why Kai personally received Kelvin when they arrived. Most of what Kai knew about Kelvincame from newspapers since the Foley family was one of the three major economic conglomeratesMost of what Kelvin knew about the Foley family came from newspapers since they were one of thetop three families in Chulae.
Over the years, the Foley family had been gradually emerging as the leader among “the top threefamilies".
Kelvin deserved credit for this achievement. At just twenty-seven years old this year, he wasremarkably promising.
Among Chulae’s top three families, the Foley family had been deeply rooted in the high-techindustry for two generations. Since the 1990s, they had consistently excelled in the industry.
On the other hand, the Lara family mainly focused on heavy metals and mining fields fordevelopment purposes.
Hayden Lara who currently led the Lara Family was just over thirty years old with decisive leadershipskills that rivalled those of Kelvin.
Lastly, the Weaver Family rooted itself within agriculture and animal husbandry enterprises whileholding nearly fifty percent of market share.
The Weaver family was also a unique presence, being the only one among "the top three families”with a woman as the head.
Throughout the generations, the head of the Weaver family had always been a woman.
Its descendants were propagated through the practice of taking in sons-in-law.
Miss Julianne Weaver of the Weaver family and Emily Davidson, the President's daughter, were closefriends.
Emily was Iker's former fiancee.
After Master Iker became disabled, she took the initiative to cancel their engagement. This causedmany people to become restless. It was rumored that Hayden Lara was pursuing Miss Davidson withgreat fervor, and Davon was also one of her many suitors.
Kai personally greeted Kelvin, which gave him a lot of respect. "Mr. Todd, you're too kind. As a first-time visitor, this is just a small token of my respect,” Kelvin said as Chris immediately took out a giftbox from the car.
Inside was an antique European firearm from the 18th century that Kelvin had purchased at anauction. Its design was extremely advanced for its time and although it couldn't compare to modernweapons, it would have been considered an expensive rarity two hundred years ago.
Collectors who loved weapons undoubtedly wanted to get their hands on this guns. Kai's eyes lit upwhen he saw it; his two favorite things were weapons and beautiful women. Iker inherited his firsthobby while Davon leaned more towards the latter.
"Mr. Foley has gone through so much trouble; please come in and sit down," he said before turningto his butler and saying "Bring us some tea."
Kai led Kelvin into the luxurious hall where they chatted for a while before he finally understood whyKelvin had come over.
It turned out he was here to discuss a business partnership.
He split his family's business into two parts, with one part managed by Davon and the other parthandled by himself.
Erica was a finance graduate and highly trusted by Kai, who put her in charge of the company'saffairs.
Therefore, Kai was unaware of Davon's decision to terminate the contract with the Foley Group."Mr. Foley, please wait a moment while I call my Erica and second son to ask what happened.”
"Mr. Todd, there is no need to rush. I believe there may be a misunderstanding.”
Kai intended to keep Kelvin for lunch and also wanted to take this chance to assess his character.His daughter was about twenty-four years old this year and would return home soon.
If the Todd family could form an alliance with the Foley family, it would be a good thing indeedUnfortunately, Kelvin had his childhood sweetheart by his side; otherwise...
After some thought though, Kai believed that this idea was feasible.
Kelvin and Miss Berry were only boyfriend and girlfriend without being married; it wasn't hard tohave someone persuade Miss Berry to give up on him.
"Mr. Foley, please wait a little longer. The people I called for will be here shortly.”
In Iker's Estate, Cheyenne didn't know how she slept through until morning after dinner last night.She had planned to leave once the rain subsided a bit, but who knew that last night's rain wouldcontinue non-stop. So she ended up sleeping in until mid-morning.
"Knock, knock, knock..."
She heard a short and clear knocking sound from outside her door. "Miss Lawrence, are you awake?Master Iker asked me to bring you some clothes.” It was one of the maids here.
“Clothes? That stingy guy sent me clothes? This's really unbelievable.’
However, Cheyenne still got out of bed and walked barefoot on the white long-haired carpettowards the door. When she opened it, a maid was standing there holding a champagne-coloredstrapless dress.
This dress is exceptionally beautiful.
The shell-like ruffles at the chest adorn the bust in an intricate pattern, and there's a band of darkgold lace embroidery at the waist.
The hem of the skirt features a high slit and a fishtail design, subtly revealing a pair of fair andtender long legs as she walks, elegant yet sensual.
She reached out and gently lifted the garment, revealing a creamy white bandeau underneath.Cheyenne's face turned completely red in an instant. "This... this lingerie... was also his instruction?"The young maid shook her head with a smile, "Not exactly, Master Iker only mentioned that you hada 38C bust, and this dress would suit you."
"Ugh! This jerk! Where's your master? I'm gonna give him a good beating!"
"How would Iker know about my 38C big chest? Could it be that he was a complete pervert and didsomething while I was asleep?’
Cheyenne had a bad habit, which was that once she fell asleep, even thunder could not wake her up.The woman tightly hugged her chest with both hands, her face turning red with anger. Her almond-shaped eyes widened and she looked like she was going to eat someone with her bared teeth andhands.
The young maid was frightened and stuttered, unable to answer.
At this moment, an unusually cold voice sounded in the ears of the two people.
The wheels of the wheelchair make a slight frictional sound on the ground.
"My vision has always been very sharp, and my predictions are 99% accurate. I only need to takeone look to know."
Cheyenne looked up and saw Iker, who was wearing an unusual white double-breasted suit andsitting upright in a wheelchair.
A red bow tie was tied on the white shirt, and his hair was also carefully styled, making himhandsome and elegant.
He glanced over from the corner of his eye and sneered, "I'm not as filthy as you think. I'm notinterested in you, so don't worry."
This statement really made Cheyenne feel like a stone stuck in her throat.
"That would be best. Master Iker!"
"Go change your clothes. We have an important guest coming today, and you will be mycompanion!" Iker announced coldly, leaving her no room for refusal.
An important guest?
Who could it be?
