Chapter 559
Alexander really didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Did his father have to say that? Well, he was back safely, no?
He would be fine after recuperating for a while.
Helpless, Everleigh said, "Uncle, don't say that. Alexander is already upset enough."
"Hmph, now that he's upset, why didn't he inform me about what happened? Didn't he think about how I raised him all these years?" Saniogo's tone was filled with dissatisfaction.
Everleigh turned to look at Alexander, who was powerless as well. "Dad, I did such a thing just to bring back a daughter-in-law for you. Don't you want that to happen?"
"Daughter-in-law? Hmph, if you had brought her back earlier, I would've been considered as having a successor. Do I still need to worry?" Saniogo obviously didn't believe his words.
"It's true, Uncle. That woman is my friend. You'll know when the time comes. Let Alexander recover now," Everleigh also persuaded him to quiet down.
He didn't believe Alexander's words, but he believed in Everleigh's. She must have a goal.
"Alright, I believe in Everleigh. If you don't bring her back, we'll see how I deal with you." Saniogo pretended to be fierce as he spoke, but in his heart, he was looking forward to meeting his future daughter-in-law.
He had introduced other people to Alexander before, but he avoided all of them. After a long time, he no longer cared about it anymore.
Alexander was young and vigorous, and he might not accept his father's advice.
Everleigh stayed the night. When she got up in the morning, she gave Alexander a simple examination before she went to the hospital.
Time passed quickly, and a day passed in the blink of an eye. Everleigh was very tired and didn't want to go back.
"Everleigh." Theodore's voice came from the door. She looked in the direction of the voice and was surprised when she saw him. "Why are you here? Didn't you say you're going on a business trip?" Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.
"Done and dusted. It is still early, so I thought I'd come over to pick you up."
She was so happy to see his thoughtfulness, as she didn't want to drive back herself.
On the road, she kept nodding off. She woke up when they arrived at the Trevino family home. Theodore insisted on resting in the Trevino family home. It seemed that as long as Leon stayed, he would stay as well.
When the two of them met, not only was Leon in the house, his parents were there with him as well.
"Uncle Caelan, Aunt Lorell," Theodore called out in a low voice. It was obvious that he was very surprised by their presence.
Caelan and Lorell both looked over when they heard the familiar voice.
"Theodore, why are you here?" Caelan asked. He was then reminded of why he was there when he saw Everleigh.
She ignored them but looked at Abraham and Selena. One of them had red eyes, and the other had a grim expression. Leon, who was sitting on one side, wore a gloomy look on his face. He could no longer hold on to his temper.
"Dad, what's the matter?" Everleigh went over and asked, without looking at the Allen family members.
"What's the matter? They came to our house and declared that Selena seduced their son and drooled over being their daughter-in-law." Abraham was seething, his face turning red, and his right hand was pressed over his heart. Obviously, he felt uncomfortable.
Everleigh noticed his actions and glanced at Hilda, signaling her to fetch the medicine. Hilda nodded and hurried to get the medicine.
"Mr. Allen, it's your son who came here by himself. We have not abducted him. What are your intentions for all this? To prove that the Trevino family is not as good as the Allen family?" Standing in front of them, Everleigh said in a cold tone; it was like a layer of frost had fallen on them.
There was an inexplicable chill in the air.
"We're here to ask for an explanation. Miss Trevino, you're provoking the relationship between our families."
"You sent such messages to Selena. Why do you want to make her suffer? Love is a matter between two people. You are just defending your son. Why don't you see what kind of person he is?" Everleigh's sharp words came out.
The atmosphere in the room became colder. Selena's eyes turned red, and she was even more upset.
Theodore stood to the side, frowning. "Uncle Caelan, what you're doing now won't have a good outcome. Leon is a scoundrel. He was the one who chose to freeload here. It's not right for you to cause trouble here."
"Theodore, your mother doesn't like Everleigh, but you still insist on being with her. Have you ever spared a thought for your mother?" Caelan's anger inexplicably rose when he heard these words. Theodore and Leon were a disappointment to them.
Theodore's eyes flashed. "Oh, leave my mother out of this, thanks. I don't need everyone's agreement to be with Everleigh. No one can change my decision, but Uncle, who do you rely on to have the nerve to be here?"
Caelan's expression changed. He pointed at him angrily. "You... You're threatening me?"
"I'm not threatening you, I'm just stating facts. You care about the rules of the family, so I'll explain them to you now. In the future, the Trevino family will be under my jurisdiction. If you plan to harm her, you need to get through me. If there are any losses to the Trevino family, don't ever think that the Allen family will be safe from it. I've witnessed what the Allen family has done in the past few years. If it wasn't for Leon's change in management, I would've taken care of the Allen family a long time ago." Theodore stood beside Everleigh. His words caused fear to erupt in Caelan's heart.
Over the years, under the care of the Godfrey family, he knew about the things that the Allen family had done.
Caelan had always thought that he didn't know.
By what Theodore had said, Abraham understood what was going on, but he had nothing to do with them.
He just hoped that Selena could find a good husband so he and his wife could rest in peace in the future.
"I have witnessed the Allen family's attitude. Selena will not have any contact with the Allen family in the future," Abraham said as he turned to look at Selena. "Do you still want to be with him?"
She shook her head. "No, the Allen family let me understand what the word 'shameless' looks like."
When Leon saw her shaking her head, he became anxious. "Selena, why don't you give me a chance? I've tried so hard to be with you. Aren't you touched at all?"
"Why should I be touched? Didn't you hear your parents' words? Why should I be humiliated like this? Tell me, why?" She burst out with emotion and stood up to scream at him hoarsely.
All the grievances had found a cathartic channel of expression.
Leon looked at her expression and his eyes froze. He thought of something and turned to ask his father, "What have you done behind my back?
Speak."
Caelan and Lorell fell silent. It seemed that they had tacitly approved what they had done.
"Get out. Get out of here. Our Trevino family doesn't welcome you," Selena shouted and pushed Leon out.
He didn't want to leave like this; he wanted to find out what was going on.
Caelan froze when he saw her pushing his son like this. If it wasn't for Leon, they wouldn't have come here.
