Chapter 446
Alexander looked at Cynthia coldly and said in an unsympathetic tone, "Cynthia, don't you dare think that you have a sense of superiority as a member of the Jenkins family. We are not like you who like to make a scene like a shrew. Everleigh is part of the Jenkins family and there is no doubt about it. If you dare to speak rudely again, I will be the first one to punish you."
When Cynthia heard these words, she felt like she had been struck by lightning. She looked at them, unable to believe her eyes.
She shook her head slightly. She couldn't accept that her family, who loved her dearly, would favor an outsider instead of her.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she got. She got up from the ground and was about to jump on Everleigh. She cursed, "It's all your fault, you sl*t. You took away all my love. Why did you come back? Why don't you just die?"
Before she could touch Everleigh, she was pulled aside by Alexander. He said to the security guards at the door, "Come in, all of you."
The security guards at the door heard him. "Young Master."
"Get this woman out of here. If you dare to let her in, hand in your resignation letters," he angrily told them.
He had always been very gentle and rarely raised his voice, let alone say harsh words.
When the security guards heard that their jobs were on the line, they took Cynthia out without a word.
She cried and shouted but no one was willing to pay attention to her.
Adrienne, who was sitting on the sofa, cried sadly. She sobbed, "Mommy, let's go. I don't like this place. I don't want to stay here..."
Everleigh patted her and said, "There's no need to cry anymore."
Alastair was outraged too. He looked at Saniogo and Alexander with his big dark eyes. "Grand- Uncle, Uncle Alexander, did my mommy come to get this kind of treatment here?"
Saniogo and Alexander were startled by his words.
"My mommy didn't grow up in the Jenkins family but her upbringing is much better than your family's. If the Jenkins family doesn't like her, we won't come next time."
"Alastair, don't talk to your grand-uncle like that. It's very impolite for you to do that."
"Mommy, where are their manners? How dare they humiliate you in front of me? Did they also curse you behind our backs?" Alastair's voice wasn't loud, but it was filled with intense dissatisfaction.
Saniogo and Alexander had nothing to say.
He was right, the Jenkins family owed Everleigh too much.
"Alastair, your grand- uncle and I were sincere when we invited you to come over. You don't know how many years we have been searching for your mommy and we finally found her. I admit that the people of the Jenkins family are not very happy about her arrival, but it doesn't mean that we are not good to her," Alexander explained patiently.
Saniogo's face darkened. He already felt his ears stinging at the thought of what Cynthia had just said, not to mention Everleigh herself.
"Alastair, such a thing will not happen in the future. I won't allow it to happen again," Saniogo declared firmly.
"Really? We'll come after you are done dealing with it then. Otherwise, who knows when another lunatic will appear again?" Alastair snorted coldly, his tender little face suppressing his displeasure.
He liked to spend his time with his grand-uncle, but he couldn't stand his mother being bullied by others.
They were the real 'family¹, the real 'family' which shared all honor and disgrace.
Saniogo's heart felt heavy when he saw Alastair's attitude, and bitter feelings welled up in his heart.
Hearing that, Adrienne pulled Everleigh's hand and said, "Mommy, let's go home."
"Okay, let's go back." Everleigh knew the tempers of these two children. If they didn't like to stay, they would go back even if they had to walk home.
"Uncle, I'll take the kids back first. I'll come and see you when I'm free." She was so angry that day that she even had to pick up a fight.
However, she did not regret it. It was her nature as a mother to protect her children.
Saniogo couldn't say anything either. He nodded and watched them leave.
Linggon, on the other hand, felt embarrassed the most. He just stood there watching the fuss. Now that the protagonist left, he didn't know if he should stay or leave.
"Well... Uncle, I'll go back first. My mother is going to invite my aunt and others for dinner tonight."
"Go ahead," Saniogo said in a weak voice as he waved his big hand.
He sighed with mixed emotions in his heart. The Jenkins family seemed to be magnificent but who knew that their relationship was not harmonious at all, contrary to what people saw on the surface.
For a moment, he really hoped that Welment would still be alive so that these worries would no longer fall on him.
Everleigh was sent back by Alexander. On the way back, Adrienne fell asleep leaning on Alastair's shoulder because she was too tired.
Alexander was worried that Everleigh would think too much, so he said, "Everleigh, don't hate my father. He is doing this out of kindness."
"I know." Of course she understood Saniogo's heart. As for Luqman and Yeezoo, she didn't think that way of them.
"Alastair, I hope you don't hate your grand-uncle," Alexander said as he looked at him through the rear view mirror of the car.
"This is considered the second time we meet each other. We're still strangers to one other, so it's hard for me to say whether I like or hate you," Alastair replied in a distant tone.
It was obvious that he held a grudge over what had happened that day.
Alexander was silent for a moment. He opened his mouth but still didn't know what to say.
When they arrived at the Trevino family home, Everleigh walked in with Adrienne in her arms.
However, Alastair stayed behind. "Uncle, the Jenkins family has too many internal conflicts. It's best for you to be careful."
"Why do you say that?" Alexander frowned. He was the only one who knew what the Jenkins family was up to. He had never even mentioned anything to his father either.
Alastair's bright eyes stared at him. "Uncle, when I was in your study the last time, I accidentally glanced at your documents."
Alexander laughed suddenly. He found that these two children were really getting more and more lovable. One was cute with sweet words, while the other was smart and sharp-eyed.
Everleigh was really a fortunate person to have two children like them.
"I know. I hope you can come to the Jenkins family manor again in a few days."
"Let's talk about it after you handle Cynthia's matters." Alastair threw out these words then turned around and ran back into the house.
Alexander frowned as he did not really understand what he meant.
It was only when he returned home, then he realized what the child meant.
Luqman had brought Cynthia to the old manor.
Saniogo sat on the sofa with a sullen face. Luqman's face was red and it was obvious that they had just finished quarreling.
"Dad," Alexander called out.
"Alexander, I heard that you threw Cynthia out. Is that true?" Luqman questioned loudly as he looked at him.
He looked as if he had found a place to vent his anger that he kept inside for a long time.
Alexander looked sideways at Cynthia, who shrank her neck. She was still afraid of him after what he had done earlier.
"Yes, I did." Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
"And you still dare to admit it?"
"Why shouldn't I? Your daughter spoke as if she had no brain. Before she scolded others, why didn't she look at her own problems first?" Alexander hit the mark with his words.
Luqman became even angrier when he heard that. "This is your younger sister. How dare you help an outsider?"
