Chapter 251
Chapter 251
Everleigh wanted to tell Abraham about her relationship with Christopher, but he didn't ask about it, thus she didn't say anything. However, why would he suddenly invite Christopher to come to their home?
If this matter was not made clear, he would still treat Christopher as his son-in-law. The Meyer family might not be willing to allow this.
Thinking of this, Everleigh felt a little stressed and had to make it clear.
"Dad, Christopher and I are..."
"Let's eat first." Abraham put down the newspaper in his hand suddenly. "Why hasn't Selena come down yet?"
Everleigh paused for a moment. When she was about to speak, she heard Selena's voice coming from behind. "Coming, I went to take a look at Alastair and Adrienne. They are still asleep."
She came downstairs and stood behind Everleigh. She looked over her shoulder and saw Christopher. She asked Everleigh in a low voice, "What is he doing here?"
Everleigh also kept frowning.
The atmosphere at the dinner table was weird. Everybody knew about Everleigh and Christopher's relationship, except Abraham, but Christopher kept calling him "Dad" intimately.
Everleigh kept kicking Christopher's leg under the table, but he didn't respond at all.
"Take your time to eat. I'm going to the bathroom." Everleigh set down her cutleries and signaled Christopher with her eyes. Then, she went to the bathroom alone.
After a while, he said, "Dad, do continue your meal with Selena first. Excuse me, as I answer a call." This is from NôvelDrama.Org.
Leaning against the wall of the bathroom, Everleigh said into the phone angrily, "What are you doing?"
Christopher's voice came from the other end of the line. "What could I do? Your father asked me to come here."
"That's because he doesn't know about us yet. Stop messing around."
"When did I mess around? Can't you tell that your father likes me very much?"
"Christopher, it's useless for my father to like you. It's easy to hide it from him but how are you going to explain it to your parents? Besides, Felicia will be able to figure out what's going on with a little investigation. The incident that day was so serious."
According to Christopher's tone, he did not intend to be honest. He planned to continue to coax the parents on both sides, but Everleigh could no longer pretend.
"Do you really think that your father can't find out the things that Felicia and my parents can find out?"
Through the phone, his words made Everleigh dumbfounded.
"Dad knew about it already?" She thought.
Christopher said, "Elders have seen everything since they've lived for more than half of their lifespan. Their psychological endurance is much higher than what we think."
"Then, why does my father still..."
"Is it that hard to understand?" Christopher said with a bit of pride in his tone, "First, things have already happened. Second, there is such an excellent son- in- law in front of him. Who do you think your father will choose?"
Everleigh finally understood. "Isn't that just self-deception?"
"Why is it self- deception? By the way, you need to be mentally prepared."
"What?"
"My parents will come to your house in a few days."
"What?" Her voice rose suddenly.
"Why are you so anxious? How unconfident are you? Do you think that those things in the past could change anything? My parents like you so much that they don't care about them at all."
Everleigh's mind was in a mess.
"So, are the elders on both sides planning to make the best out of it?" She thought.
"Enough, I won't chat with you anymore. Your father is asking me to drink, and you should come out quickly too..."
"Hello, hello? Christopher, you..."
Before Everleigh finished her words, the phone was hung up. Then, she heard the voices of Christopher and Abraham in the dining room. They really drank like they were father-in-law and son-in-law.
Everleigh felt a headache coming on while holding her phone.
Wasn't it a bit of a mess? Yet, Christopher still followed suit.
Deep into the night.
In South Hill Villa, the sound of porcelain breaking on the living room was particularly sharp under the night sky.
"How many times do I have to say it? I didn't do it. What does it have to do with me that she was r*ped? She's putting all the blame on me, and you are even blaming me for an outsider? I have long told you that that woman is not a good person."
Madison was trembling with anger, and the butler next to her didn't dare to persuade her.
On the sofa opposite his mother, Theodore sat upright and raised his hand. "Moses, where's the item?"
Moses' face stiffened, and he carefully handed Theodore a folder.
"Mom, here is the evidence. Seven years ago, you met up with Everleigh behind my back."
"Yes, I met her then," Madison did not deny it. "My son was in a relationship, and he wouldn't go home for four years during college. Can't I meet his girlfriend?"
"That's not what I want to tell you."
Bam! The folder fell heavily on the coffee table. "Look at it yourself."
"What do I need to look at?" She was so angry that her face turned pale. She picked up the folder and asked, "What is this?"
"The license plate number. The photo taken by the witness at the place of the incident. This car is yours, isn't it?"
"What license plate number?" Madison was furious when she saw the photos in the folder. "What are you trying to prove with such a blurry photo? Even if this car is mine, what proof do you have that I was the one who was sitting in the car, and the one who did those things?"
She would rarely lose her composure like this. In front of Theodore, she was always dignified and cold, but when it came to Everleigh, neither of them could keep calm.
However, she didn't say anything wrong.
The butler could not bear to watch any longer and said, "Mr. Theodore, Madam Madison is indeed in the wrong, but you can't just knock her down. The crime of abetting violence is just too severe. Madam won't do such a thing, and there is really not enough evidence."
Theodore clenched his fists. When he looked up at Madison, his gaze was chilly. "If the evidence is complete, then you wouldn't have the chance to stand here and face me."
Just as Christopher had said, if the evidence had been obtained earlier, Madison would have been imprisoned no matter how wealthy the Godfrey family was. That was because of the Meyer family's support.
"You..." Madison pointed at him. She was so angry that she couldn't even speak. "Great... What a good son I have raised"
"Take care of yourself." He stood up, looking as if he had nothing more to say.
"Where are you going?" Madison shouted at his back. "If you dare to find that troublemaker, don't address me as your mother anymore."
Theodore stood at the entrance of the living room with his back facing Madison. His voice was as cold as ice. "You'll always be my mom, even if you are in jail."
With these words, he left.
Madison stood where she was as blood drained from her face. She pointed at his back and wanted to say something, but in the end, her eyes rolled and she fell directly onto the sofa.
"Madam, Madam, are you alright?"
She clutched the blanket on the sofa tightly. Her eyes widened in anger as she said in a trembling voice, "That vixen, I... I've said it long ago that that woman... That woman is not a good person. She's been possessed by a demon!"
