Cheyenne was so angry that her eyes reddened. Just as she was about to say something, Lucas suddenly took her hand and said softly, "Forget it, Cheyenne. Don't bother arguing or getting upset over such people."
Cheyenne instantly felt extremely aggrieved and held Lucas's hand while saying apologetically, "Hubby, I'm really sorry. It's all because I've been too simple-minded and brought you to this dinner. Now, things have escalated to this point… I didn't expect Nikki to be so… vicious despite being my cousin. She doesn't care about kinship at all…"
Lucas put his arm on Cheyenne's shoulder and stopped her from continuing to blame herself. He said softly, "Honey, they're vile because it's their nature. It's not your fault. You don't have to reproach yourself because of what they've done.
