Chapter 171: Oscar Awards

Chapter 171: Oscar Awards

The lights were bright, illuminating the grand and classical living room

filled with people. On the coffee table were barbecue, beer, spicy

seafood and so on. As soon as Cheyenne walked in, all eyes turned to

her and time seemed to stand still for a moment.

Her stomach growled at the sight of all the delicious food. She sniffed

the air and asked eagerly, "Is that spicy crawfish?"

Kate snapped her fingers and stood up from the couch. "You got it right!

I ordered your favorite spicy crawfish for you. The shells are already

peeled off."

Cheyenne grinned in delight. She loved eating crawfish but hated

peeling them because she was too lazy to wash her hands afterwards.

So, she had developed a unique skill - being able to spit out crawfish

shells - which amazed everyone who saw it.

Omari kept his seat next to him for Cheyenne while Iker sat beside him

with an icy expression on his face. Across from them, Tanner was

sweating profusely from eating too much spice.

Cheyenne remembered that these people had been at odds before she

left home just a few hours ago but now they seemed like old friends

getting along well together.

Reece could only choose to sit with Kate on the couch since there

wasn't any space left on Cheyenne's side.

Kate moved her hips and noticed the young man who came in with

Cheyenne.

"By the way, Cheyenne, who is this handsome guy?"

Dominic blushed at being called "handsome guy".

He actually saw the lovely Kate sitting on the sofa as soon as he

entered the door just now. She was sitting with her legs crossed on the

sofa, her white shirt and chestnut hair complementing each other, and

her lovely round face under the light, with a lively look in her eyes.

When she smiled, it reminded people of a sunflower under the

sunshine.

Cheyenne crossed her legs and casually explained, "His name is

Dominic, he's a member of my gang."

As the words fell, everyone was surprised except for Reece.

Dominic was shyly touching the back of his head. Despite being a 1.

85-meter-tall, 150-pound man, his eyes were filled with watery light and

he had a face full of coyness.

A gust of night wind swept in through the window, and everyone felt a

little queasy at the same time.

"Ahem, alright. To get back on track, Miss Lawrence, how did things go

for you at Soar Casino tonight?"

Iker cleared his throat and placed the bamboo stick in his hand on the

table, with a serious expression.

Talking about tonight's events, Reece was excited like he had just

taken a shot of adrenaline. He suddenly stood up and grabbed a bottle

of beer.

Glancing around, he had a mysterious smile on his face.

“Tonight is the most glorious and heroic moment in my short 20-plus

years of life! I dare say that if it were made into a movie, it would

definitely be nominated for the Academy Award for Best Picture!"

He patted his chest with one hand and said, "By then, I, Reece, will be

the winner of both the Best Actor and Best Director Oscars, and

Cheyenne will be my leading lady."

"And what about me?" Dominic, noticing that his name hadn't been

mentioned, asked nervously.

Reece gave him a disdainful glance. "You're not worthy. I saw you

hiding under the table, ready to run away! You aren't loyal to us, and

yet you still dare to call yourself a member of the underworld.”

Dominic sighed. He had two or three dozen subordinates under his

command. If something happened to him, what would happen to those

who depended on him?

"Enough with your nonsense," Kate impatiently kicked out her foot

towards Reece.

Reece yelped and turned around, rubbing his butt as he angrily glared

at her. "The point is that Cheyenne and I were surrounded by a group

of thugs while we were looking for the casino. They wanted to rob us."

Dominic in the room felt guilty and lowered his head.

"And then just as I was about to be a hero and save Cheyenne, it turns

out that she's actually their boss! Can you believe it?"

"Damn, Cheyenne is amazing! When did this happen? I can't believe I

didn't know," Kate reminisced about high school with her.

She remembered how they both ate and slept all day long.

Omari was also curious about what happened.

Dominic raised his hand quietly before speaking up, "I... I'm one of

those thugs.”

"Yes, but they all knelt down and begged for mercy. Hilarious!"

Cheyenne had finished eating her bowl of noodles; she checked the

time - it was already 9:30 PM.

"Get to the point! I'm tired,” she said impatiently.

"Okay okay okay... I need some background first though - really! Later

on, with this group of thugs leading us there, we found the casino

eventually. After much deliberation on my part, I decided that it would

be best if I distracted those bodyguards while Cheyenne disguised

herself as a waiter upstairs gathering information.”

As Reece finished talking, Dominic added in quickly, not wanting to be

left out. "And then in the hall where everyone could see me causing

trouble and distracting them even more so that our Cheyenne could

buy some time."
