Said I didn’t Love Him But I Lied

Everleigh realized what Alexander meant: He was worried that if Wilson had set up another trap. It would not make up for the loss.

She wanted to call Theodore, but she was delayed by a patient. When she was done, the sky was already getting dark, and she had forgotten about the issue.

“Mommy.”

When Everleigh was resting on the chair, she heard Adrienne’s voice. She turned her head and looked at the door as the girl entered.

“Who did you come with, Adrienne?” Everleigh asked.

“It’s Daddy. He went to visit Uncle Xavier with Alastair. They’ll be back soon,” Adrienne explained cheerfully and walked to her side.

Everleigh picked her up and walked towards Xavier’s ward. Before she could enter the room, she saw Theodore walking out with Alastair.

“That was fast,” she said curiously.

“Not really. You must be tired, so let’s go home. There’s a drama ongoing now.” Theodore took her hand in a very natural manner and walked out.

She chuckled as she knew what he was talking about.

Leon was all alone. If he didn’t grab his opportunity to go to the Trevino family home, all of his efforts would go down the drain.

On the way back, Adrienne chattered non-stop. Everleigh glanced at the shops on the street and remembered that Alexander had called her earlier.

“Theodore, do you know what the Godfrey family has been up to recently?”

“Recently I have been dealing with the company’s affairs. I didn’t ask about the Godfrey Group. Why do you ask?”

“Alexander called me today. Wilson has got a sum of money and bought shares of Jenkins Group. Alexander suspected that there is something fishy with the money so I was curious if you know anything about it,” she explained.

He kept his eyes on the road, pursing his lips in silence.

However, Alastair, who was at the back, felt that there was something wrong with the atmosphere. With a thought in his mind, he said in a tender voice, “Someone has invested in Wilson’s company, but in a span of few minutes the record was erased, and no one can find it.”

Upon hearing this, Theodore and Everleigh immediately looked back at him. “What did you say?”

“I saw it happen by accident,” Alastair explained.

After hearing that, in a childish tone, Adrienne said, “Alastair has been investigating this issue for a long time. Unfortunately, some people don’t trust him, and he couldn’t find any leads. Mommy, I helped him as well. I brought snacks to encourage him.”

She was waiting for their compliments.

Everleigh laughed. She was clear about her son’s abilities, and her father had also mentioned that he was talented in doing business.

Upon hearing this, Theodore didn’t waste any more time. He called Moses and said, “Look into Wilson’s case and arrange ten people to assist Alastair. He can do whatever he wants.”

“Ah? Mr. Godfrey, this is inappropriate, isn’t it?” Moses was shocked. There was no problem with the previous issue, but the latter one was challenging. Would anyone listen to the instructions from a kid?

“If you can’t do it, you’re hereby dismissed.”

Moses’ whole body trembled. “Mr. Godfrey, I promise to complete the task.” After that, he hung up the phone.

Everleigh smiled slightly and said, “Oh my goodness, you’ve got Moses in the palm of your hand.”Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

“For so many years Moses has worked hard for me and done his best. If I fire him, I can’t find anyone to take over.”

She smiled and said nothing. Sometimes, managing a company was like managing people. He could not push them too hard, otherwise it would backfire.

They returned to the Trevino family. Upon entering, they heard Leon’s wailing voice. “Dad, I’m already homeless. If you don’t take me in, I’ll wind up camping in the streets.”

Abraham had gotten a headache when he gazed at the snot and tears on Leon’s face.

The night before, he’d declared to not have any connections with the Allen family, and Leon showed up again the following day.

It was like a slap in the face.

Everleigh and Theodore exchanged glances, their smiles clearly visible in their eyes.

“Dad, we’re home.”

“Everleigh… No, Sister-in-law, talk to Dad. Don’t chase me away.” Leon held Abraham’s leg and looked at her with a forlorn face.

She couldn’t help laughing and said, “Dad, don’t tease him. Let him stay.”

“I don’t have any objections, but Selena needs to voice out her opinions,” Abraham said helplessly.

Theodore looked up at Selena, who was walking down the stairs.

“Dad.”

“Selena.” Leon looked at her with tears in his eyes. Selena couldn’t help but laugh. She walked up to him and said, “You’re leaving the Allen family for good. What will you rely on to make a living in the future?”

“I’m seeking for a job. Don’t worry, I won’t starve you,” he quickly explained and even brought the application letters.

She was familiar with the application letters. She gave it a thought and realized that it was a job application for Jenkins Group.

“Then, you didn’t get any assets from the Allen family?” Selena continued to ask.

He lowered his head and said with grievance, “I just wanted to walk away unhindered. I didn’t take anything from them, not even my clothes. Selena, you can rest assured that I’ll earn a lot of money in the future.”

“If you say so. You have no money and no house, do you?”

“That’s right.”

Selena folded her arms and looked at Alastair. “Alastair, help me type an agreement. State that from today onwards, Leon will be accepted by the Trevino family. Everything he has will belong to the Trevino family.”

There was a trace of astonishment on Leon’s face, but he understood what she meant and called Alastair, “Hurry up and get it for me. I am your uncle now.”

Alastair looked at Leon’s impatient look and sighed helplessly. He couldn’t believe that someone would accept such an agreement.

Alastair obediently typed the documents. Not long after, he took the papers and went downstairs. Leon signed the papers without reading them and proffered the documents ingratiatingly to Selena. “Here you go.”

“Great, you know what’s good for you. You can resign from Jenkins Group tomorrow and come work with me in Trevino Group.” Selena had made up her mind to take over the business of Trevino Group.

After Leon left the company, Caelan would not be kind to her. It was better for her to leave the company and manage the business in Trevino Group.

This decision had taken several people by surprise. They could see that Selena liked acting, and it would be a pity to give it up for Leon.

Leon’s expression changed as well. “Will you give up just like that?”

“I have no choice but to give it up. Your father won’t let me go that easily. The contract has not expired, so I can only do this. When the contract expires, I will make my own plans.” Selena could only choose to take a step back. If she was offered a role in an atrocious drama, she would lose more than she would gain.

Theodore frowned and said, “I’ll take care of this.”

“No need, I want to have a rest. It will only take a year; it is normal to not play a role in any drama series just for one year.” Selena didn’t want to bother Theodore, especially when Xavier was in an awkward position.
