Deep Love Hidden From Him

Chapter 475

"This is my niece, Everleigh." Missha introduced her.

When Annie heard Everleigh's name, she was rather surprised. "Everleigh? I heard that she has just reunited with the Jenkins family during the previous family banquet. Wow, she's really pretty."

"Thank you." Everleigh nodded in response. Her standard smile looked neither proud nor flattering.

It was just right.

After seeing that, Missha's lips curled up into a smile. She seemed to be very impressed with Everleigh's response.

"If that's the case, then I guess I shouldn't disturb you, Madam Jenkins. I have to go now. Goodbye!" Annie wasn't an insensitive person. After she spoke, she left directly.

Everleigh asked, "Who was that lady? She doesn't look like a local."

"She is Annie Lawson, the daughter of the Lawson family of Ocpeace City. As you know, there are too many outstanding people in Ocpeace City, and their relationships are complicated. No one knows who is more superior, so it's not wrong to be on good terms with everyone. Most importantly, she likes Alexander," Missha answered as she cut her steak. She was already used to such meetups.

After hearing the last few words, Everleigh was a little startled. The first thing that came to her mind was that Alexander wouldn't like that type of woman.

"Does Alexander like her?"

Missha shook her head. Without even looking up, she continued, "The children of the Jenkins family are to consolidate their status and position through marriage, especially Alexander and Linggon.

Everleigh, remember, when your own family is strong, no one will dare to bully you, not even your husband's family."

Everleigh stared blankly at the restaurant's entrance and was lost in thought.

Missha's eyes sparkled as she joked, "Did my words scare you?"

"No, I just don't think that Alexander will be with her. Annie seems like a good woman, but her qualities and personality are very common in strong, wealthy families, so there's nothing special about her."

She said those words for a reason. She didn't want Alexander to be involved in an arranged marriage.

She wanted him to be happy.

It was the first time Missha had heard such a thing, but it did make sense.

"Well, you and I cannot intervene in this matter. The decision is in Saniogo's hands."

Everleigh pursed her lips. She understood that, and that was why she never asked Alexander anything about marriage.

After lunch, she went to the hospital. Missha asked her to visit again whenever she had time.

"I sure will. Aunt Missha, I have to go now." Everleigh hailed a taxi and went straight to the hospital.

When she got in the car, she called Theodore and asked him about their investigation's progress.

"There's something up here. Let's talk about it when we get back to the hotel," he replied in a low tone. His tone of speech wasn't very good.

Her heart sank, and she had a bad feeling in her heart. Finally, she finished her work and returned to the hotel. When she entered the room, she asked immediately, "What happened? What did you two find out?"

"Take a look for yourself." Christopher handed her a document with a solemn look. He didn't know what to say.

Everleigh couldn't wait any longer and opened it to have a look. When she read the words on it, she froze. "No way..."

"I've asked Moses to investigate it too, and the results are the same. Coincidentally, the branch office that we went to belonged to this person," Theodore explained. He felt that something was odd, but he didn't know what was wrong.

She sat on the sofa in disappointment. Had they really come to a dead end?

"When did this person pass away?"

"It's been two years. I'm afraid we can't even find his body." Christopher shook his head and answered. He looked rather disappointed as well. Their effort had gone to waste.

The three of them suddenly fell silent. Everleigh didn't want to give up, she continued flipping through the document.

"If he's really involved in the incident, then we really have no clues left," she muttered to herself.

Christopher leaned back on the sofa, looking at the ceiling. Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind. "Everleigh, do the other members of the Jenkins family know that Saniogo has been investigating Welment's death all these years?"

"They know, and in the past, Missha and Yeezoo had joined the investigation too," Theodore replied in a firm tone.

His deep gaze revealed a hint of distress. The whole matter was indeed tricky.

"What do you mean?" Everleigh asked in confusion. NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

Christopher sat up straight and asked seriously, "Think about it. Is it possible that Missha knows everything, and although she appears to be helping, she actually saved this person in private by keeping him in her company? Could it be that your aunt has something to do with your parents' deaths?"

He was just making a bold guess. After all, everyone in the Jenkins family knew about it. Didn't Missha check properly before she hired someone?

Plus, if the person was still alive, he would only be in his fifties. Even if he had any comorbidities, he wouldn't have died.

Theodore raised his head slowly. There were different emotions in his eyes. He had the same conjecture, but... It wasn't really appropriate for him to say it out loud.

If he said it, the Jenkins family would be unhappy, but if no one said it, there would be more problems.

Everleigh was startled for a moment and then came to her senses. "It's impossible. Aunt Missha wouldn't do that. After all, they are siblings."

Hearing her words, Christopher and Theodore felt a little uneasy. In fact, they wanted to say that anything could happen in rich and powerful families.

It was normal for siblings in those families to hurt and harm each other.

They just didn't want to make it too obvious.

Seeing that her expression had turned sour, Christopher quickly added, "I'm just saying, don't take it too seriously."

She didn't think that he was just saying it casually.

She was extremely concerned. She was worried that it was someone from the Jenkins family who made a move. If it was true, she didn't know how to face it.

She finally knew how it felt when things happened to herself. It was really painful and heartwrenching.

"Everleigh, we just have to face it. When the truth is finally revealed, no matter who did it, nothing can be changed," Theodore said in a low voice.

He just wanted to remind her that she would have to face the truth sooner or later.

She understood it. In the past, she really wanted the murderer to be charged and prosecuted, but now that the truth was about to be revealed, she didn't know how to react anymore.

"I don't want to talk about this right now. I'm really tired." After saying that, she got up and went back to her own room.

Theodore and Christopher exchanged looks. Both of them looked solemn, and their hearts were filled with indescribable emotions.

"Go back and rest now. Since you've already said it, just give her some time to calm down," Theodore said to Christopher.

Christopher stared at him coldly. "Theodore, you're really deceitful."

"I was looking for a chance to talk to her about it, but you said it first." Theodore crossed his legs as he leaned against the sofa, and his bright eyes were staring back at Christopher.

Christopher was infuriated that he almost wanted to kill him. That b*stard actually dared to trick him. He must have already known that it had something to do with the Jenkins family.

However, he didn't say a word. What a b*stard.

"When did you start suspecting Missha?" He asked.

"When you mentioned Jenkins Group, I started suspecting her."
