Said I didn’t Love Him But I Lied

Thaud could understand his intentions of adopting Diana, but Jaseh shouldn’t have indulged her to violate his own interests.

A person should value gratitude; one who didn’t know how to be grateful can be said to be blinded.

“Diana can’t do that…” Winifred was in shock.

They treated Diana like their own daughter, yet she did all these evil deeds in return.

Cecil sat quietly on the sofa.

After a short moment, with a grim face, Jaseh asked the maid, “Where is Diana?”

“She… didn’t come back last night.”

As soon as the maid finished her sentence, Cecil remembered something. Diana had dressed like she was about to attend a party. Could it be…

A dawn of realization hit her, and she quickly took out her phone to make a call, but it was switched off. Thaud made a call as well, not to Diana, but his secretary. “Check the flight schedules immediately and see if Diana has been to the airport.”

…

“If she has been to the airport, find out where she could be flying to.”

After finishing his words, he hung up the phone.

At the same time, he told them that Diana was likely to have escaped.

Upon hearing the words, Jaseh burst into a rage.

He would not let go of this matter easily.

Not long after, Thaud’s phone rang. It was his secretary calling. Diana had gone abroad the night before. She had booked two flight tickets, but there was no clue on where she was going.

Hearing this, he smashed the phone.

‘D*mned Diana. Don’t let me catch her. Otherwise, I’ll show no mercy.’

Cecil asked her foreign friends for help. She had made a lot of foreign friends over the years. She believed that they could find her.

“Now that she has gotten hold of all the shares belonging to Lenold, the only way to resolve this matter is to get Lenold come back. Otherwise, we’ll really lose all of our money,” said Thaud as he analyzed the situation.

Jaseh and Winifred were on the verge of bursting in anger upon learning of Diana’s actions.

Listening to Thaud’s words, Jaseh felt his anger mounting.

Cecil was no sitting duck. She got up and went to find Everleigh. She knew that the Jenkins family was good at dealing with matters abroad.

“Cecil, where are you going?”

“I’m going to find someone to settle some issues.” Without saying who she was looking for, she turned and drove away.

At that moment, Everleigh was in the hospital. She had to take over Christopher’s shift while he was not around. With that being said, she had been doing ward rounds alone. Sometimes, Stainley would offer some help as well.

In short, things were not good.

When Cecil arrived, Everleigh was just about to take a rest and was thinking about grabbing a snack.

She was afraid that she wouldn’t have time for dinner later.

“Everleigh.”

“Cecil, what are you doing here? Is there news about Lenold?” Everleigh thought that she would receive some good news.

Cecil’s eyes dimmed as she shook her head. “Not yet, but there’s something I hope you can help me with.”

“What’s the matter?”Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.

“The Jenkins family has a lot of power abroad. I hope you can help me search for Diana. She took Lenold’s shares and went abroad. I…”

Everleigh understood that Diana wanted to escape with the funds, so she quickly called Alexander and said, “Alexander, I have something to ask you for help. I will give you the information about Diana Hayes and the route she’s traveling. Please help Cecil find her.”

He listened to Everleigh’s explicit request and understood what she meant.

He assumed that Cecil had approached her for help.

“Okay, I’ll send someone to find her right now.”

Everleigh thanked him and hung up the phone.

Cecil was grateful upon hearing the words.

“Everleigh, thank you.”

“Don’t mention it. I couldn’t help you in the past. Now that I have this opportunity, I can’t sit back and do nothing.” Everleigh got up and gave her a glass of water. Looking at Cecil’s dark circles, she knew that she didn’t have a good rest.

No one had heard any news about Lenold for such a long time, hence it was understandable for them to be worried.

Cecil took a sip of water. Before she could swallow the water, she heard Everleigh saying, “Cecil, Alexander likes you. You can tell, right?”

She spat out a mouthful of water.

Her face turned red in an instant. She didn’t know whether it was from being choked by the water, or from her shyness.

“What did you say?”

“I thought you already knew about it. Alexander has always been steady, but he became even more cautious when you’re around. Cecil, I can also tell that your feelings for him are different. Don’t tell me that you haven’t taken a fancy to him.” The reason why Everleigh said it was because of Cecil’s behavior.

Cecil was the type of person who took matters into her own hands, but now, she asked the Jenkins family for help for the first time. This showed that she unconsciously trusted Alexander very much.

If Everleigh didn’t mention it now, there wouldn’t be a suitable time in the future.

Cecil lowered her head and hesitated. “Everleigh, do you think we’re a good match?”

“Why not? I have been with you for so many years. Moreover, when you were with Leon, I thought that he didn’t deserve you. Now, seeing you with Alexander, I think you two will be good for each other,” Everleigh responded seriously.

She had finished analyzing the situation.

Cecil smiled. It seemed that Everleigh had made up her mind.

“Let’s save this for later. Lenold is nowhere to be found, and I’m in no mood to think about it.”

Everleigh was not in a hurry. She knew that it was not the right time to talk about it. She just wanted to help out Alexander in the hope that he could be with Cecil.

Alexander, of course, promised to help her.

As soon as Everleigh came out of the hospital, she saw Theodore waiting for her at the entrance.

“Theodore, why are you here?”

“I’m here to pick you up. I know you’ve been working hard.” He walked over and held her hand in a very gentle manner, just like how he had when they first dated.

“Mommy.” Adrienne’s little head peeked out of the car, and a sweet smile appeared on her face.

Everleigh smiled and said, “You went to pick them up?”

“Mm. I’ll bring them to stay at our house for the night. I know that you’ve been working hard, so I won’t be going back to the Trevino family home for the time being.” The main reason behind it was that he felt that Leon was a bad influence to the children, so he decided to bring them to their house. It was also a good idea for them to bond.

Everleigh shook her head helplessly. She knew his intention but chose not to speak of it.

When the four of them returned to the Godfrey family’s villa, the servants watched as Alastair and Adrienne walked in. They were overjoyed when they saw a poodle puppy in the house.

“Look, Alastair.” Adrienne walked over and picked up the puppy.

She rubbed her face against it.

The puppy also liked to be held, nuzzling up against her.

“When did you buy it?”

“When Ace left, I thought of raising a puppy myself, and also so that Adrienne won’t be disappointed.”

“Daddy, you should buy me a Golden Retriever so that both of them can accompany each other.”

“Alright, I’ll get one for you tomorrow.” It wasn’t as if Theodore couldn’t afford to raise them.
