Said I didn’t Love Him But I Lied

After all, Missha was the boss of the company. How could this be done without her permission?

She was only trying to shed responsibility.

“Uncle, do you really believe that?” Everleigh asked in response.

Saniogo’s body trembled slightly, and he did not answer her question.

That confirmed her thoughts that he did not believe it either.

However, she could not understand why he chose to keep quiet about this. Did he decide to take her side just because she was a member of the Jenkins family?

With this idea in mind, Everleigh felt even more uncomfortable. If a powerful and influential person chose to cover up like this, people without power would be ignored.

When they reached the house, Cecil had already arrived. Because of her, the gloomy atmosphere from before disappeared.

“Everleigh, why are you so late?”

“The driver drove slowly. That’s why I am late.” Everleigh smiled and the tension in the car had disappeared completely.

Cecil nodded and did not say anything.

Missha came down from upstairs and saw that Everleigh and Cecil were here. She looked at her with a smile and said, “When did you arrive? Why didn’t you call me?”

“I heard from Uncle Saniogo that you’re busy, so I didn’t want to disturb you.”

“Yes, there are a lot of things to do in the company,” Missha replied with a sad look on her face.

Everleigh’s eyes flashed. “Aunt Missha, do you get all the news from abroad first hand?”

“Not all of them. There are some trivial things that can be handled by them. They will only inform me of important issues,” Missha explained.

“What about Elvir?” Everleigh asked.

When Missha heard his name, she was stunned. “Elvir?”

“Didn’t you put up a wanted poster of him abroad? Speaking of which, Elvir has a deep relationship with the Jenkins family. Why did you do that without listening to his explanation?” Everleigh said with a smile, as if she was stating the obvious.

Saniogo and Alexander both looked at Missha as well.This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.

She sighed and replied, “Actually, I only found out about Elvir after the incident. I don’t even know when he went abroad.”

“Is that so? It seems like you’re being lax in the management of the company. Shouldn’t things like this be informed to you immediately?”

“There is a huge time difference between the two countries. Otherwise, I wouldn’t let them give such an order.” Missha was emotional when she said this. It seemed that she felt extremely guilty about Elvir’s accident.

However, in Everleigh’s eyes, that was not the case.

Without Missha’s order, who would dare to pursue Elvir? She clearly knew what he was doing. It was impossible for him to steal from her.

Looking at Everleigh’s attitude, Saniogo’s eyes flashed. “Everleigh, Missha won’t hurt Elvir.”

Everleigh took a meaningful look at him and said after a long time, “You’re right. She values family the most. How could she do such a thing?”

Missha listened to her words and lowered her head slightly.

“Everleigh, what are you doing? It’s rare for us to get together. Let’s not talk about such an unhappy thing. I’m here as a guest, aren’t I?” Cecil whispered.

There was no hint of blame in her tone.

She just wanted to stop Everleigh from asking any more questions.

“That’s right. Everleigh, let’s talk about this later. Cecil is here as a guest,” Alexander tried to mediate the dispute.

Everleigh smiled lightly and said, “I’m sorry, I just thought it was a pity for Elvir to die like this.”

“I understand.”

Missha sat at one side and looked at them. Although there was a smile on her face, her eyes were cold.

Although it was only for a brief moment, Everleigh still felt it.

When they were eating, they chatted happily, which was totally different from the atmosphere before.

After the meal, Cecil wanted to stay, but Everleigh wanted to leave. Alastair and Adrienne were still at home.

“The two children are very obedient. It won’t be a problem for you to stay here,” Missha said.

Everleigh shook her head. “I’ve already sent a message to Theodore. He’ll be here soon. I’ll come again tomorrow.”

When they heard this, they didn’t force her to stay anymore.

Saniogo looked at her and wanted to say something but stopped on second thought.

However, Everleigh ignored it. She needed some time alone.

Now that it was confirmed that something had happened to Elvir, she could not accept the fact.

Theodore came over quickly. When he arrived, he saw everyone standing in front of the main entrance.

“Why didn’t you wait for me inside?” He asked gently. Although it was not that cold, the temperature difference between day and night was significant.

“I came out to walk around. I just happened to see you arriving,” Everleigh said as she glanced at Saniogo and the others, “I’ll be leaving. I’ll come over tomorrow.”

“Alright. Take your time on the road. Call me when you get home,” Saniogo said worriedly.

“Okay.”

The moment they got in the car, Everleigh no longer could control her suppressed emotions anymore and burst into tears.

Theodore did not ask anything. Instead, he passed her a piece of tissue. Along the way, she cried for a long time. He could only bring her back to his own villa.

“We’re here. Don’t cry.”

“You’ve known it for a long time, haven’t you?” She asked, still crying.

When he talked to her in the morning, he must have already confirmed that the body was Elvir’s.

He did not say a word. Instead, he stared at her with a guilty gaze. He did know what was going on, and he didn’t want her to worry.

“Everleigh, I’m sorry. I…”

“I understand. Don’t worry. I’ll be fine. I just need some time alone.” She shook her head, got out of the car, went back to her room, and closed her eyes to rest.

She was exhausted. All she wanted was to have a good rest. Only in this way could she continue fighting.

He laid beside her and hugged her to give her a sense of security.

In the early morning, it was raining outside. The gloomy weather was just like Everleigh’s current mood.

Theodore personally cooked for her. She took a bite, but she had no appetite.

“Don’t be like this. You’ve taken a good rest so you should be full of energy.”

“I have energy, but it’s a cloudy day. Everything feels down and gloomy.” She felt that something was wrong, but she did not know what it was exactly.

“You’re overthinking things. You don’t have to be like this.”

She did not speak. Perhaps time would heal. All she could do was wait for that day to come.

“Send me to the hospital.”

“Alright.”

On the way to the hospital, due to the rain, there was heavy traffic everywhere. Coincidentally, she saw Revainge’s company, so she asked, “By the way, didn’t you say you were going to settle the score with Revainge?”

“His company is steadily growing. I did not know such a company existed before.”

“Did it blow up all of a sudden? There must be someone supporting him behind the scenes,” Everleigh looked at the company’s gate and said unconsciously.
