Chapter 77: Waiting to Inherit the Fortune

She sighed softly and said, “What a pity.”

“What’s wrong?” Davon asked curiously with an expressionless face.

“It’s just that I don’t know anything about medicine. When my grandfather was treating Master Iker, I could only hand him tools while standing by his side.”

Cheyenne played with her delicate and fair hands, crossing her fingers as she looked at him with a pair of bright and adorable almond-shaped eyes.

“Yesterday when the medicine was delivered, my grandfather told me that Master lker’s condition wasn’t good. Maybe…” she hesitated to speak.

“What is it? Miss Lawrence, please save my brother,” Davon said excitedly as he placed his big hand on Cheyenne’s arm.

Through the thin layer of fabric, he felt her warmth. Her soft arms were like cotton candy and made him want to squeeze them hard.

“Master Davon, don’t get too excited. My grandfather said, there is no cure for your brother’s disease and he can only maintain his life by taking the medicine,” Cheyenne explained calmly.

“I see.” Davon couldn’t help feeling a hint of schadenfreude. However, his mood quickly changed when Cheyenne spoke again.

“It’s really despicable that a maid in Master Iker’s villa tried to harm him by poisoning his food. If I found out who’s behind it, I’ll make sure he regret it!” she exclaimed angrily.

Speaking of which, the maid was the spy that Davon put in Iker’s Estate, whose identity wasn’t discovered for two years, but Cheyenne exposed that maid so soon. He wondered if Cheyenne accidentally made it or if she already knew something else?

If it was the latter case, then it would be a shame that he had to finish such a beautiful woman. “Miss Lawrence, you’re right. It’s despicable. I had no idea there was such a vicious maid in my brother’s house.”

He slammed his hand on the stone table in anger, making a dull sound. Cheyenne glanced at his palm and saw that it was red and swollen, but she kept a calm expression on her face.
