She Became Rich After Divorce by Georgina Lane

Chapter 410: Murder Case

His tone was casual, but Cheyenne could sense a trace of concern in his words. She furrowed her brow.

“Kelvin, you shouldn’t have come. Didn’t we agree to part ways?”

“Cheyenne, don’t flatter yourself. I came here because my grandfather told me to. I don’t like being indebted to others.”
