Became A Queen After divorce

The room fell silent as everyone held their breaths. Malaya’s smile froze on her face as she realized just how foolish Cheyenne could be sometimes.

Sean snorted in disbelief. “Your elementary school level? I remember when you drew a watermelon that looked like a plate! You have some nerve talking big now.”

Nora’s expression turned cold as ice. “What did you say?”

“Am I wrong?” Cheyenne raised her delicate chin, hitting the nail on the head with every word. “First of all, your visual center is off. The general visual center should be two-thirds into the picture.”

“And you, you occupy the entire frame alone.”

“Also, you want to highlight yourself as the protagonist of this banquet, so you went out of your way to depict your attire as luxurious.”Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

“Unfortunately, lighting is paramount in portraiture! You only focus on color itself but neglect texture and contrast brought by light and shadow.”

“Your painting only stays at an imitative stage; that’s why I said it’s at a primary school level.”

Nora’s mentor had also told her these words before. However, she could never grasp what he meant by “texture”. This ignorant sister was just repeating his evaluation.

Cheyenne knows art!

The thought flashed through Nora’s mind. She felt a bit unwilling but then thought that understanding art doesn’t necessarily mean having exceptional drawing skills.

Right!

There isn’t a pencil in this ignorant sister’s room. How can she draw?

Sean also quickly snapped out of his shock and pointed rudely at Cheyenne. “Don’t think we’ll believe whatever nonsense you spout. My sister won an award for this piece! Go ahead and join the competition if you have what it takes. Bring back a prize to show us!”

Nora and Layne both knew that it was not nonsense.

“Just bring back one prize? Fine, I’ll do it. But on one condition: Sean, you have to learn how to bark like a dog.”

Malaya didn’t expect things to take such a sudden turn. She only wanted to help her daughter take a shortcut to be admitted to Royal Academy of Arts, but now all their focus was on Cheyenne. And Cheyenne even required Sean to bark like a dog. This was too much!

“Cheyenne, don’t argue with your brother. He’s still little,” Malaya said.

“Little? He’s turning eighteen soon and has his college entrance exams this year!” Cheyenne sneered.

At eighteen years old, she had married Kelvin. What had Sean accomplished in comparison? Wasn’t he always getting into fights or skipping classes or dating someone?

“Mom, don’t bother trying to convince me otherwise. I bet this loser can’t even draw!”

Layne’s expression turned cold as he threw a cold glance at the mother and son.

Then he said to Cheyenne, “Maybe you should enter a competition for some fun. The college art contest is starting next month and registration is still open.”

Even Cheyenne’s grandpa suggested that she should go have some fun, which made Sean convinced that Cheyenne just talked big.

He had a smug look on his face, “I lost and barked like a dog, what about you, Cheyenne? If you lose, what will you do?”

“I won’t lose!”

She replied confidently.

Even Nora chimed in with a sarcastic comment. “Don’t be too confident, Cheyenne. You might end up eating your words.”

Sean, on the other hand, seemed pleased with himself for coming up with the idea of a competition. “If you lose, Cheyenne, you’ll have to apologize and kneel down before my sister.”

Layne was furious at Sean’s audacity and wanted to leave in a fit of rage.

‘What kind of idiotic idea is that?’ he thought angrily.

Just then, a delicate hand pressed the back of his hand. It belonged to Cheyenne, who had given her grandfather a reassuring look before agreeing to Sean’s terms with a bright smile.

“Okay, I promise you!” she said.

“Cheyenne…” Layne felt it was unnecessary to make such a childish bet with this ignorant boy.

But since Cheyenne wanted to do it, he decided not to stop her.

“Grandfather, I’m not a pushover. I won’t let anyone just step on me and rise up.”

“I see.”

In the end, the matter of Layne taking Nora as his apprentice ended without any joy or satisfaction for anyone involved.

Malaya watched them leave together and felt frustrated inside.

After sending her grandfather back home in Shedale safely, Cheyenne decided to stay here temporarily for one night. She needed time alone with all those antiques that she had just brought back so that she could sort them out properly one by one.

It took them the entire night to finish.

After washing up in the evening, she put on her pink cartoon suspender nightgown, let down her hair, and lay on the big bed playing with her phone.

Just as she logged online, she saw Reece’s Line avatar flashing.

The avatar was a husky rolling its eyes and his username was also unique – GiantDog!

Reece wasn’t sleeping late at night but instead sent her an emoji pack.

GiantDog: Are you there?

Cheyenne squinted and typed out a line before sending it over.

[Report if there is anything. Leave me alone if there is nothing.]

On that day, Reece was filming a supernatural mystery drama. Tonight he played the male lead who went alone to explore the well and retrieve a female corpse. He had already finished his makeup and sat bored in front of the mirror when he thought of Cheyenne.

GiantDog: Miss Lawrence, do you want to see a gift I have for you?

[Does it have value?]

GiantDog: You’re really vulgar, just because it’s not valuable, you’re not going to take it? I’m so sad, boohoo…

[If it’s not worth anything, why should I take it?]

GiantDog: It my own beautiful photo. By the way, I’m filming a movie. If you need money badly, you can consider becoming an actress. I’m serious!

Cheyenne held her head and thought for a moment, ‘It seems like this suggestion is not bad. My acting skills should be quite good. After all, I’ve acted like a waste for so many years.’

She quickly replied to Reece’s message. [So tell me, what role do you think fits me the best?]

Reece read the message and laughed.

Originally, he wanted Cheyenne to sign up with him and participate in the talent show together, becoming top idols together.

As a result, this girl decisively refused when she heard that she had to rehearse dancing and singing.

Because she was lazy.

Now she is actually interested.

GiantDog: You can play as a corpse. Just lying there with your eyes closed, you can make money.

He even sent a photo of the female corpse actress to Cheyenne. The latter’s hand shook as she saw the photo, causing her phone to slip out of her grasp.

[Reece, are you crazy!] she replied.
