Hearing this, Everleigh looked at the time. If they wanted coffee, they could only get it from the cafeteria.
"There's coffee in the cafeteria but I'm not sure if you would like to have a cup there."
Missha was stunned, "Okay."
They arrived at the cafeteria and ordered two cups of coffee. It was actually instant coffee, but it tasted so much better than plain water.
"Coffee overseas definitely tastes better."
"But the tea in our country is also very good. It's just that you're not used to it," Everleigh explained. She thought home was the best.
Everything in the country was good.
"You, you really think I don't get it," Missha chuckled helplessly.
Everleigh smiled with embarrassment. It was good to appreciate one's own roots.
"Everleigh, come back for dinner if you have time." "Okay." She nodded.
The two of them sat and chatted. An hour passed very soon.
Everleigh looked at the time and said, "Aunt Missha, I'm going to check the wards. You should head back first. I'll bring the kids to see you tomorrow night."
"Okay, I won't keep you." Missha was bored, so she wanted to kill some time.
When Everleigh got off work, she saw Theodore at the entrance of the hospital, "Why are you here?"
"I said I'd pick you up from work. I just happened to have something to tell you." His expression did not look good.
She didn't understand; who was it that had provoked him causing that look on his face?
"Theodore, who provoked you?" She asked after getting into the car.
"Let's make a visit to the Jenkins. I have something to ask your aunt." He didn't answer her but drove directly towards the Jenkins family home.
This time, she was even more confused and started to wonder what her aunt had done.
Since he didn't want to tell her, she did not ask anymore. She would know when they got there.
At the Jenkins family manor.
Missha and Saniogo were sitting in the living room, looking at something. The butler came to inform them of Everleigh and Theodore's arrival.
Saniogo instructed happily, "Go and get dinner prepared. The two of them probably haven't eaten anything yet."
"Yes. I'll go right now." The butler was very helpless to see his master so happy. It seemed that he had to be ready to get meals prepared whenever Miss Trevino came over.
"Uncle, Aunty."
"Everleigh, come sit down. I told your aunt to have your room renovated. It used to be a guest room, but it still looks like one." As he spoke, Saniogo took out the design drawings on the coffee table.
It seemed that he was asking her which style she liked.
She took a look and noticed that they were all styles that Adrienne liked, so she said with a chuckle, "In fact, anything will be fine. I don't have any requirements for this."
"How can that be? I wanted to ask and see which you would like. If you don't like any of these, I'll get them to come up with some other designs again." It was obvious that Saniogo loved Everleigh very much.
When she heard that he was going to get someone to redesign it, she didn't want him to go through the trouble. Thus, she quickly picked a design that she liked.
Since they arrived, Theodore had been staring at Missha, but he didn't say a single word.
Missha felt someone was looking at her, so she looked over too, and asked "Why are you looking at me like this?" © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
He replied in a deep voice, "I have something to ask you, Aunt Missha. We'll talk about it after Everleigh is done choosing."
Everleigh turned her head to look at him. She was even more curious as to what this was about.
Saniogo didn't understand either, wondering what was going on.
"Go ahead."
"Why did you give Wilson money? I heard that the contract is also signed, right?" When Theodore said this, it was like a bomb that exploded between the two of them.
Especially Everleigh; she was even more confused about Missha's actions.
"Aunt Missha, is what Theodore saying true?"
Missha was silent for a moment, and a hint of cunning appeared in her gaze. "It's true."
"Why?" Theodore asked.
He had initially wanted to see what Wilson would do, but he didn't expect that Missha would participate in this.
It disrupted his plan.
Missha looked up at her niece. "Everleigh, you're after all the daughter-in-law of the Godfrey family. Everyone in the industry knows about your relationship, but people out of this circle aren't very aware. I can't let people say that you married Theodore and kicked your father-in-law out. I'm helping him because of you. What's more, I didn't ask for the shares of Godfrey Group, but just became one of the shareholders. In other words, I own half of Wilson's company."
Missha explained her actions.
However, it sounded like an excuse to them.
Not only were Everleigh and Theodore unhappy, even Saniogo was very dissatisfied. In the past, Wilson had caused Everleigh a lot of suffering. Hence, It was really impossible to help him now.
"Missha, couldn't you come to me before coming to such a decision?" Saniogo said in an unfriendly tone, his eyes full of displeasure.
She looked at him and continued to explain, "Saniogo, I know you are very angry with what I did, but only this would give Everleigh a firm stand within the Godfrey family."
Everleigh wanted to laugh when she heard this.
"Stand firm?"
Would she need to stand firm in the Godfrey family?
It was enough to have Theodore by her side. She didn't need the approval of the Godfrey family at all, and most importantly. Wilson wasn't worthy of her respect.
"Aunt Missha, do you know what position you've put me in by doing so?" Everleigh asked, disappointed.
She had wished greatly that Wilson's reputation would be ruined. However, it was her aunt who had stabbed her in the back.
"Everleigh, listen to me. I'm doing this for your good."
"Enough, Aunt Missha. Wilson wanted to get rid of me. If it wasn't for Uncle Saniogo, I would have been humiliated, and now you are asking me to understand why you helped him? How am I supposed to understand? You are helping my enemy." Everleigh stood up and looked at Missha with grief and indignation.
Missha looked at Theodore, who was sitting by the side. He looked nonchalant, but he exuded an indescribable aura to others.
After all, Wilson was still his father.
However, Theodore didn't look like he was about
to lose his temper at all.
"Stop, you need to respect Theodore," Missha said.
"Even with Theodore here, I would still dare to speak. Aunt Missha, don't expect that Wilson and I would be on good terms by you doing this. You can either take back the money, or I will cut off our
relationship." Everleigh's last sentence was a threat to her.
She wanted her aunt to know how much she had done wrong.
Missha and Saniogo were both shocked to hear this.
"Everleigh, I..."
"Aunt Missha, take care of yourself." Everleigh didn't want to listen to her explanation, so she turned and walked out.
Theodore followed.
He came here to find out the reason, but what Missha had said made him more suspicious of her real motive.
She should have known what would really happen if she did this.
However, she still did it anyway. The only explanation was... that she had other purposes and needed Wilson's help.
He suddenly remembered what Pedro had said before.
