Chapter 427: Severing Ties
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Everyone was greatly surprised.
None of them expected that Lucas would actually save Nikki because she had tried to harm Lucas and Cheyenne several tis.
In particular, Kenneth and his friends were all aware of all the nasty and distasteful things that she had said to Lucas, as well as her inhumane actions.
But Lucas actually looked past all of this and wanted to save her from Matthew!
Matthew had a gloomy expression but remained silent.
He didn’t say if he would let her off or not.
So Lucas roared at Nikki, who was on the ground. “What are you waiting for? Hurry up and get up.”
Only then did Nikki react and realize that Lucas had really saved her! Ignoring her snot and tear-covered face, she imdiately scrambled up from the ground and stood beside Cheyenne. If Lucas hadn’t glared at her coldly, she would have wanted to hug Lucas’s arm imdiately, for fear of being caught by Matthew’s bodyguards.
Lucas turned around and left with Cheyenne while Nikki followed closely behind them. anwhile, Stanley scanned the surroundings before leaving with Cheyenne and Lucas quietly. Anyone could tell that Stanley was Lucas’s bodyguard.
Watching them leave, Matthew gritted his teeth but didn’t stop them.
After they left, Matthew suddenly looked at the people around him coldly and threatened, “No one is allowed to breathe a word about what happened today to a single soul! If I hear anyone badmouthing us, don’t bla for being ruthless!”
Everyone’s heart tensed up, and they hurriedly guaranteed, “Mr. Benson, don’t worry. I won’t tell anyone about what happened today!”
“Yes! I swear on the reputation of my family that I won’t say a word about this!”
“ too!”
“Sa goes for !”
...
Only after everyone swore that they would definitely remain tight-lipped about this matter did Matthew nod with satisfaction and let these helmsn leave to take their sons to the hospital for treatnt.
As for his son, Matthew had already called a professional doctor over to take care of his broken arm. The doctor would be arriving soon.
While Tyron was receiving treatnt, Matthew was sitting alone with Damon in a VIP dining room.
“Mr. Parker, I’m not from LA after all. You have a wide network of connections, so I’ll leave it to you to investigate that young man. Please find out all his connections, identity, background, and the people he’s closely related to!” Matthew said in a deep voice and a commanding tone.
Although Damon was rather displeased, he didn’t show a single trace of it on his face. Instead, he answered subserviently, “Alright, leave this matter to then. I’ll definitely give you the information as soon as possible!”
Matthew nodded. “Regarding the cooperation that we talked about earlier, I think there’s no issue with it, so I’ll arrange for soone to sign the contract with you imdiately.”
After Damon heard this, his displeasure dissipated.
He hurriedly stood up and said gleefully, “Alright, great, thank you so much, Mr. Benson!”
To be able to suddenly reach a cooperation with the Bensons from San Francisco was considered a blessing in disguise!
Damon grinned widely in pleasure.

Lucas and the rest left the Lion Restaurant. Cheyenne finally relaxed and was less tensed up than before.
Nikki was still following closely behind them.
She had arrived in Kenneth’s car, but she obviously couldn’t ask him to send her ho now, so she wanted to ask Lucas and Cheyenne to send her back to the Turners’ ho.
She felt that it shouldn’t be much trouble for them since it was on the way.
“Why are you still following us?” Cheyenne looked at Nikki coldly and asked in an indifferent voice that was unlike her usual gentle and warm tone.
Nikki was stunned for a mont, but she quickly smiled and said coquettishly as she usually did, “Cheyenne, don’t be angry with anymore. I really know my mistakes!”
She even wanted to reach out to take Cheyenne’s hand, but Cheyenne dodged without hesitation. “I told you just now that you don’t deserve to call your cousin anymore. From now on, we’ll have nothing to do with each other!”
What Nikki had done tonight in the Lion Restaurant had utterly destroyed their relationship of years as cousins.
Cheyenne was already being the kindest she could be to Nikki by saving her one last ti!
Nikki panicked. She initially thought that Cheyenne saved her on account that they were cousins, and she also knew that she had gone overboard with her actions tonight. But she thought that given how softhearted and ek Cheyenne was, Cheyenne would definitely forgive her once she apologized and said so nice things to her.
But it seed that Cheyenne was bent on severing ties with her now.
How can this be like this?! I still have to rely on her to get more benefits!
Even if she could no longer use Cheyenne to suck up to Kenneth and other n, Cheyenne was at least still the general manager of the Brilliance Corporation while Charlotte was the general manager of the Stardust Corporation. There were still many ways she could take advantage of them.
If Cheyenne drew a clear line between them, she really wouldn’t be able to obtain any more benefits and advantages anymore!
“Cheyenne, I know you still consider your cousin deep down. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have asked Lucas to save in the end, right?” Nikki still wanted to make an effort to ease the tension between them.
Cheyenne said coldly, “You’re wrong. I saved you not because you’re my cousin but because you’re a woman. I would have saved any woman who was in your predicant just now!”
With that, Cheyenne pulled Lucas’s arm and said softly, “Hubby, let’s go!”
“Sure.” Lucas smiled and nodded and then took Cheyenne toward the parking lot.
He was pleased with her behavior.
He was initially still worried that she would let her sentints for kinship get the better of her and be too kind to an ingrate. But he was now at ease.
“Cheyenne...” Nikki was still about to pester her, but Stanley suddenly stepped forward to stop her.
“If you dare to pester them again, I’ll kill you!”
Nikki obediently kept quiet.
Only after seeing Lucas leave the restaurant with Cheyenne in a Porsche did Nikki smile nacingly.
Nikki kicked a parked car and exclaid viciously, “Bitch! Bitch! Do you really think I like calling you my cousin? One day, I will trample all over you!”
As soon as she finished speaking, the doors of the car suddenly opened, and four burly n walked out.
