It was understandable that a father would want to know more about the woman his son married.

Moreover, Cheyenne couldnt sense any malice from Michael.

Instead, she felt that there was some sickly melancholy in his expression, which made it hard for her to be harsh to him.

“Okay then.” Cheyenne nodded, agreed to Michaels invitation, and got into the backseat.

“Ms.

Carter, where are you headed Ill get the chauffeur to drive there,” Michael asked with a smile after getting inside the car.

“Sunshine Hills.” Cheyenne revealed the location of the villa she and Lucas had newly bought.

The car cruised along smoothly, and it took about forty minutes from here to get to the upscale villa in Sunshine Hills.

Michael first chatted casually with Cheyenne and asked her where she was from, whether or not she was used to being in DC, and so on.

She replied politely one by one.

“Ive been calling you Ms.

Carter, and it feels a little strange… May I call you Cheyenne like he does” Michael asked.

He was naturally referring to his son Lucas.

Cheyenne looked at the expectant look in Michaels eyes and was suddenly at a loss for how to reject him.

She could only nod and say, “Its just a form of address.

Suit yourself.”

When Michael heard this, his eyes seemed to light up, and he was a little excited.

But Michael was good at controlling his expression and quickly covered up his emotions.

“I heard that youre the founder of the Brilliance Corporation, Cheyenne, and its now developing well.

Are you here in DC this time to expand the Brilliance Corporation” Michael asked.

Cheyenne nodded, and her face lit up radiantly at the mention of the development of the Brilliance Corporation.

“Yes, I started the Brilliance Corporation from scratch, so I want to make it better.

And one day, it will become a famous enterprise well known nationally and even globally!”

Michael smiled and said approvingly, “Youre very ambitious! Thats great!”

He added, “The Huttons have some strength in DC, and we now have many suitable projects on hand.

If youre willing, we can cooperate.

Maybe the Brilliance Corporation will be able to establish a firm foothold in DC faster.”

Michaels words were not only extremely modest but also very tempting.

The Huttons were one of the eight top families in DC, and they played an extremely important role in the countrys economy.

But Michael spoke so modestly about their strength.

If other families and businesses heard about this, they would probably be incredibly ashamed.

If the Brilliance Corporation could really receive the help of the Huttons, let alone gain a firm foothold in DC, they would rise to glory.

After all, the Brilliance Corporation was only a business in Orange County that even most people in California might not have heard of.

Cheyenne naturally hoped that the Brilliance Corporation could obtain this wonderful development opportunity, but she wasnt the type who only valued interests.

As Lucass wife, she was clear about the relationship between Lucas and the Huttons.

So she would never accept the olive branch Michael offered her.

“Uncle Michael, thank you very much for the kind offer, but I still prefer to rely on my own abilities to make the Brilliance Corporation gain a firm foothold in DC,” Cheyenne said with a smile.

Michael wasnt surprised when he heard this.

He just smiled and said, “Connections and opportunities are a part of strength too.

You dont have to stand on ceremony with me.”

Cheyenne smiled and said politely, “Thank you, Uncle Michael.

Ill definitely seek help from you if I need to in the future.”

Of course, she was just making a polite remark out of courtesy.

If she really encountered any trouble, she would naturally go to Lucas for help instead of Michael.

Michael knew what Cheyenne meant.

Seeing that she had indirectly turned him down, he didnt go on any further.

The Lincoln car was cruising smoothly at moderate speed.

But the car fell into an eerie silence.

Cheyennes heart was pounding, worried that she might have angered the big shot next to her by turning him down.

Michael was not only Lucass father but also the head of one of the top eight families.

He held a massive amount of power, and ordinary people wouldnt dare to offend him at all.

But Michael merely remained silent for a short while before beginning to chat with Cheyenne about some family matters, making her gradually ease up.

Soon, the car arrived at the entrance of the upscale villa area of Sunshine Hills.

“Which one do you live in Ill get the chauffeur to drive you straight to it,” Michael said.

Cheyenne quickly said, “Thats not necessary.

Ill get off here now.

Thank you for sending me back, Uncle Michael!”

To be honest, Cheyenne didnt want Lucas to see her getting out of Michaels car because she didnt want to create any further complications since the relationship between Lucas and Michael was strained.

Michael smiled.

“Its okay.

You may tell him that weve met and spoken to each other.”

Cheyenne smiled awkwardly, opened the car door, and got out of the car.

“Thank you very much, Uncle Michael.

Ill head back now.” Cheyenne got ready to leave.

“Cheyenne, wait a moment.” Michael suddenly called out to her, got out of the car, took out a business card from his pocket, and handed it to her.

“This is my phone number.

If you encounter any trouble, you can contact me.”

Although Cheyenne didnt intend to look for Michael for help, receiving a business card was a polite gesture and part of proper etiquette, so she stretched out her hand to take the business card from Michaels hand.

But suddenly, a figure appeared at the side and snatched the business card from Michaels hand.

The next second, he crushed the exquisitely printed business card into a ball of crumpled waste paper and tossed it in the trash.

The whole process was completed in one go within less than a second.

The tall Lucas appeared beside Cheyenne.

He took Cheyennes hand and said to Michael tersely, “My wife will never need your help!”

With that, Lucas glanced at him coldly and walked toward the villa with Cheyennes hand in his.
