Said I didn't Love Him But I Lied

Cynthia couldn't bear to see Annie being criticized like that. She looked at her cousin and said, "Alexander, why are you talking to Annie like that? She was just worried about me. Besides, she is likely to join our family in the future. Aren't you a little too harsh on her?"

"Cynthia." Annie's face blushed as Cynthia had exposed her secret. She was really embarrassed about it.

She liked Alexander for sure, but it just couldn't be said out loud in front of everyone.

Alexander's eyes turned cold, and he didn't say a single word.

"That's enough. I'm not here today to learn about your relationships. I just want to know, do you really want my shares?" Yeezoo spoke.

"You have two options, and the choice is yours." Saniogo had made up his mind.

No one could change his mind anymore.

Yeezoo nodded in dissatisfaction. "Fine... Well played!" Then, he walked straight out the door after saying that.

When Cynthia saw him leave, she followed him out, too.

Apart from the servants, only Annie, Alexander and Saniogo were left in the living room.

Annie sat on the sofa and felt a little uneasy. "Mr. Jenkins, I'll go up now."

"Sure, rest well." Although Saniogo wasn't pleased with her actions, he didn't say anything about it.

After all, she was a guest from the Lawson family. There were some things that simply couldn't be said.

The butler knew that Saniogo wanted to talk to Alexander alone, so he turned around and left with the other servants.

He wanted to give the father and son some privacy.

"Dad... What are we going to do about Uncle Yeezoo?" Alexander asked.

"Just do as I say. I'd rather compensate him for the breach of contract than to give him more profit." Saniogo was firm with his decision. He would never use the company's funding to cover the losses. Alexander sighed softly, "Dad, I feel that Aunt Missha is just causing us more trouble."

"You can't blame her either. She is abroad, so she doesn't know anything," Saniogo replied indifferently. Since Yeezoo had already been released, there was no reason to put him back in jail again. Alexander turned his head and looked at Saniogo's face that was full of worries and troubles. His hair was even whiter than before.

He looked much better a few days ago.

"Dad, is it because of Everleigh's matter?"

"Yeah, Everleigh isn't wrong. After all, anyone could be a suspect back then," Saniogo said as he let out a soft sigh. His eyes were filled with mixed emotions.

Alexander understood her standpoint as well, so he didn't look for her all the while.

He wanted to investigate everything thoroughly before showing her the results.

The night passed in the blink of an eye. Everleigh slept soundly. After washing up the next morning, she brought Alastair and Adrienne over to the hospital to visit Xavier. She wasn't on duty that day, but she still went to the hospital.

Theodore was there as well. He brought quite a lot of snacks with him, including one of Xavier's favorite foods.

Everleigh smelled blue cheese as soon as she entered the ward. "Who's eating that?"

"It's Xavier's favorite food. He was once scolded badly by Madison just because he ate it. From then on, he never dared to eat it again," Theodore explained.

She had never expected such a thing to happen. Besides, it was just some food after all; it wasn't something bad.

Theodore placed the blue cheese on the countertop, and the entire room was filled with the smell of the stinky blue cheese.

"Mommy, it's really stinky!" Adrienne pinched her nose and exclaimed.

Everleigh also felt that the smell was a little unpleasant. If it continued spreading, the nurses on duty would definitely warn them.

"I think you'd better take it out. Otherwise, when the nurse comes in later, she might be unhappy about it," she advised. Theodore nodded and placed it in a corner to be taken away.

When Christopher heard that Everleigh was there, he went over to the ward and joked, "You really like the hospital, don't you?"

"You'd better focus on your work, stop talking nonsense over here." She gave him a disdainful look.

He glared at her, picked up some snacks on the table, and began eating.

Upon seeing him, Adrienne asked sweetly, "Uncle Christopher, are you hungry?"

"Yeah, I'm so sad. No one brought me any delicious food," he pretended to be pitiful and responded.

Adrienne had always felt pity for him. She smiled, "Here, let me take care of you. Open your mouth, let me feed you."

"Ah... Yummy, it's delicious," he said happily. His expression was really disgusting.

Everleigh and Theodore both chose to ignore him. It was rare for him to be able to spend some time together with her, and now, their sweet time was interrupted. Christopher was doing it on purpose.

"I've come here to tell you something. We've found some clues about Mr. White, and I heard that he's currently in the country," Christopher suddenly spoke up. Everleigh was a little surprised. In the country?

How was that possible? Wasn't he supposed to be abroad?

"The best place to hide is in plain sight. If we didn't check properly, I'm sure no one would've thought that he would return to Ocpeace City," Theodore said calmly. Christopher shot him a glance. Why was he interrupting? He could've said it by himself.

Everleigh was lost in thought. "How long will it take for you to find him?"

"It's hard to say. Even if he's found, he probably wouldn't tell us the truth. You have to know, it's a murder after all, they surely wouldn't want to put themselves in hot water," Christopher said seriously, analyzing the whole situation. Theodore glanced at her. Christopher's words made sense.

However, it was at least better for them to find him, rather than not having any hope at all.

"I know. We'll talk about it after we find him. I can't just let my parents die in vain." Her gaze deepened. She wasn't hesitant at all.

She had already hurt Saniogo's feelings, so there was no reason for her to give up.

She'd rather let everything go on like that.

"I knew you would say this. Don't worry, I'll continue investigating," Christopher sighed.

He had lost his appetite in an instant.

He put the fork down and didn't continue eating.

All of a sudden, the atmosphere in the ward became gloomy and solemn.

It only calmed down a little after a nurse went in to look for Christopher.

"Don't worry, my men will help in the investigation, too," Theodore tried to comfort Everleigh.

"It's okay, just let your men focus on dealing with Wilson. Don't worry about anything else." She knew that he was facing a lot of stress and trouble. Xavier's attacker had yet to be found, and there was no way to deal with Wilson at the moment. She felt really bad for him.

He took a deep breath and spoke in a deep voice, "I feel really useless whenever you say something like this. It's like I can't even take good care of you."

"Does it even matter? If you are God, then I believe that no one in this world will trouble you," she leaned over to him and said softly.

The corners of his lips curled up. "I do hope that I'm God."

If he really was God, then no bad things would happen to him.

The day had passed, and Xavier's condition was still the same. Before Theodore left, he stood in front of his brother and said, "You've been lying here for a long time now. If you don't wake up soon, everything you have will be taken away from you. Are you really willing to let it go?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xavier's hand moved slightly.

A few seconds later, it stopped moving again.

Theodore brought Everleigh and the kids out for some grilled meat. The family of four ate harmoniously.
