Chapter 476
Chapter 476
Christopher suddenly realized that Theodore's thinking was exceptional.
"You're indeed a wicked man," he said unhappily.
Theodore's deep gaze was like a projector that could read his mind. "Christopher, you're not stupid either. Are you sure you only noticed a few things in that wealthy family?"
Christopher stood up furiously. What did Theodore mean by 'only noticed a few things'? He had really seen a lot in the Jenkins family, but his comprehension and experience just couldn't be compared to Theodore's. He was simply so intelligent that he even managed to win Everleigh's heart.
He didn't want to be blamed, so he let someone else be sacrificed.
What a genius.
Christopher was enraged, so he rushed straight back to his own room to rest.
That night, the three of them were all upset. The main reason was because they all suspected that the incident probably had something to do with the Jenkins family.
The next day, Everleigh was still in a bad mood. It was obvious that she didn't have a good sleep. When Christopher came to her room, he said, "Let's go. The hospital wants us there."
"Okay." She couldn't meet Missha, so it was better for her to go to work.
Theodore didn't follow them. Instead, he instructed Moses to investigate whether the person had really died two years ago or not.
Moses informed him, "Mr. Godfrey, this person changed his identity and entered the company twenty years ago."
Theodore had a weird feeling, and he became even more suspicious of Missha.
"Can you find his family?"
"It's really challenging, as he's changed his name. It won't be easy to find them."
"I don't care how long it takes. Find him."
"Yes," Moses replied.
Theodore didn't believe that there was no clue about that person at all.
Over at the hospital, Everleigh couldn't focus on work. Christopher had to wake her up from her daydream several times. Finally, it was breaktime. He poured her a glass of water and comforted her, "You don't have to be too sad. I'm just guessing." "Christopher, we've known each other for so many years. How can I not know what kind of person you are? More than half of your 'guesses' are usually the truth." She had figured out the night before that the two men probably already knew what was going on.
However, she didn't want to believe it. Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
"If your family members did such a thing, what would you do?" Everleigh asked him all of a sudden.
Christopher's expression stiffened. He sighed and answered, "Actually, I don't know either. From an objective point of view, anyone who has done something wrong must be punished. However, from an emotional standpoint, I really don't know what to do."
"Your answer is basically useless."
"What else can I say? Everleigh, no one is perfect. We must make difficult choices in life. If you didn't have a strong relationship with your parents, you can choose to forget about it, but deep down in your heart, is this really what you want?"
She went silent. It was an important decision. She had to choose between morality and family.
The three of them stayed there for a few days, and were about to return home.
Missha called Everleigh and wanted to meet her. She agreed to it.
When they met up, Missha introduced her to several of her close business partners.
Everleigh looked at the foreigners who were all in their thirties. It made her a little uncomfortable.
"Miss Jenkins, I did not expect your niece to be so gorgeous!"
"The children in our family are all very goodlooking," Missha responded proudly.
Everleigh put on a shy smile, feeling quite awkward.
"Miss Trevino, may I ask what line of work you are currently in?" One of them asked.
"I'm a doctor, and I'm actually here for an exchange program," Everleigh explained.
The few of them were surprised to hear that. They couldn't imagine that such a beautiful woman was actually a doctor.
The smile on Missha's face didn't disappear for a long time, mainly because Everleigh had made her very proud.
A doctor might not be a high-salary job, but saving lives was a good and respectable deed.
A few of them had suffered from illnesses before, so they had great respect for doctors.
Everleigh didn't say anything else. She just sat there and smiled faintly.
She felt that her face was almost hardened.
Finally, the meetup ended. Missha sensed her awkwardness and asked, "Are you not used to this?"
"Yeah, I don't feel like I fit into such occasions."
"You'll slowly get used to it. I used to be just like you, thinking that I'm a person with great ambitions. Your father once told me to stick to my own dreams." Missha's eyes were filled with memories, but there were even more emotions in them.
It was as if all those years of journey had been difficult for her.
Everleigh was slightly stunned by her words, and asked with a smile, "My late father loved you very much, didn't he?"
Missha nodded. "Out of all the brothers, Welment loved me the most. Your father was really well- mannered, and excelled in everything that he took part in. It's such a pity that he's gone. If he was still alive, the Jenkins family would've been so much better and stronger."
"Right now, the Jenkins family is already considered untouchable by the outside world, so there's no need for us to be much stronger,"
Everleigh responded.
"No... The Jenkins family can go way much higher. Although we are based in Ocpeace City, if your father was still here with us, our business can definitely expand to the rest of the world," Missha said confidently, with clear adoration and excitement in her eyes.
Everleigh couldn't even ignore her.
"I have never seen him before, so I don't know what kind of person he is."
When Missha listened to her words, her whole body trembled. Sadness filled her eyes. She asked in a deep voice, "Everleigh, if you had the chance to meet your father, what would you say to him?"
"I don't think there's anything I can say. If he was still alive, I believe I wouldn't have been separated from the family, nor would I have ever appeared in the Trevino family."
Missha bit her lips. She was completely lost for words.
When she sent Everleigh to the hotel, she asked, "When will you be leaving?"
"In two days' time."
"I can send you to the airport." Missha didn't want Everleigh to leave. She could hardly meet her family abroad, and her niece would be leaving soon.
Of course she was unwilling to part with her.
Everleigh shook her head. "It's okay, the hospital has arranged our transportation, and we have to report to them too."
"Well, okay then, I'll send you off at the airport." Missha insisted on sending her off.
Everleigh looked at her with a smile. "Aunt Missha, do come back home more often if you have time. It's not a good thing to live abroad on your own."
"I know, I will return after I work hard for a few more years." Missha understood her words. Living abroad could never be compared to living at home.
After Missha left, Everleigh entered the hotel.
She didn't want to bother her aunt anymore.
When Everleigh entered her room, she saw a few bouquets of flowers on the tea table.
"Who bought this?"
"Don't you know?" Theodore's face looked gloomy as he asked unhappily.
She was dumbfounded. How would she know?
Christopher sipped his tea leisurely. "These flowers were given to you by a man called Mr. Loster. He even said that he'll be picking you up for dinner tomorrow."
Everleigh immediately understood what was going on as soon as she heard the name. She smiled bitterly, "It's my aunt. She introduced me to a few good friends of hers today, and said that they can help me in the future. I didn't expect them to send me flowers."
Theodore's frown deepened, and the anger in his eyes couldn't be hidden.
