Chapter 486
Theodore remained silent for a long time. His eyes became deeper as he was trying to figure out who had done this.
He was also suspicious about the cause of Sanchez's death, otherwise, he would not have investigated Wilson.
"Go back to the company first," he ordered.
"Yes, sir," Moses replied. Seeing the exhausted look on Theodore's face, Moses let out a soft sigh.
Ever since Everleigh appeared, Theodore's temper had become much more restrained. This was also a good thing for them.
At least he didn't have to face his anger.
That afternoon, she received a phone call from Felicia and was asked to meet with her.
She didn't refuse. In fact, she also knew that she should have a talk with the Meyer family.
They arrived at the restaurant and they sat together.
"Felicia," Everleigh greeted.
Felicia smiled and said, "It's been a long time. You should go back to see the Meyer family."
"I'm sorry, I have had too many things to deal with recently. That's why I didn't go back," Everleigh said. She felt guilty.
Felicia looked at her and said softly, "Is it because of the Jenkins family?"
"Yes. You know about it already?"
"Do you think Christopher is really that capable? He is only good at womanizing. The staff which helped in the investigation was from the Meyer family. I just need to ask and I will know everything," Felicia said. She looked down and stirred the coffee in her hand.
Everleigh had never asked where Christopher's connections came from. She thought that the group of people were his friends.
Seeing that she did not speak, Felicia knew that she felt sorry about it. "You don't have to blame yourself. You are now the daughter-in-law of the Meyer family. No matter what you do, it's alright," she said.
The corners of Everleigh's mouth twitched slightly. If she was really the daughter-in-law of the Meyer family, it would be fine. It was a pity that she was not.
She was really conscience-smitten.
"Felicia, Christopher and I..." Everleigh trailed off.
"I know about the relationship between you and
Theodore, but I didn't expose you. My parents are getting old, and I don't want them to worry about it. You know everything about Christopher's character as well," Felicia said calmly. She didn't find anything wrong with it at all.
Everleigh didn't know much about Felicia. What kind of temper did she have?
If it was someone else, she would have been angry and would even hit her.
"Felicia, I...”
"Let's find a time to make it clear to them. You and Christopher are still husband and wife. Although you are also the daughter of the Jenkins family, I think you will still be in trouble. The Meyer family is not unreasonable. You are husband and wife by name, so you are also the daughter-in-law of the Meyer family," Felicia said calmly. There was no anger in her cold eyes.
Everleigh lowered her gaze and smiled bitterly in her heart. No wonder the Meyer family could expand their business to such a great extent. This kind of mentality wasn't easily achieved.
She didn't remember who had said that one's mentality could decide everything. Only a good mentality could bring good luck. Although Felicia had a cool exterior, her insides burned savagely.
"Felicia, Lenold must have treated you well?"
Everleigh suddenly changed the subject to her.
Felicia looked shocked and quickly covered it up. "How do you know?" She asked.
"Ever since I came in, I have found that your temperament has changed. In the past, you were like a cold beauty. However, you now behave like a little girl. Only people in love will have this kind of expression. Besides, your ring can only be found from the army. As far as I know, Lenold is the only soldier you know," Everleigh carefully analyzed and explained.
Listening to her, Felicia was not angry at all. On the contrary, she was even more calm.
"Did Cecil tell you?" Felicia asked.
"No, I guessed. Last time when you came out of the hospital, I noticed that there was something wrong with Lenold. Based on my logic, he is not the kind of person who will be easily moved, especially with his identity," Everleigh said.
Felicia raised her eyebrows and chuckled. "You're much better than my brother. It would be nice if you're really the daughter- in- law of the Meyer family," she said.
"Felicia, I'm just good at analyzing. If you're happy, I'm happy too," Everleigh said sincerely.
Felicia smiled and said nothing. She took a sip of the coffee on the table and looked out of the window. Suddenly, she lowered her gaze as she saw Christopher and another woman walking with their arms around each other.
Everleigh also noticed it, but she didn't think much about it. This was not the first time he had done this, but it was the first time he had been noticed by her.
"You'd better teach him how to behave himself," Felicia said.
"I can't. A nominal wife cannot compare with true 'sincerity'," Everleigh said, proud of her own enlightenment.
Felicia snorted coldly. Sincerity? His sincerity was like a cheap rotten cabbage that could be found all over the street.
She picked up the phone and directly dialed Christopher's number.
"What do you want?" He answered impatiently.
"Look at your 3 o'clock," Felicia said coldly.
Everleigh could clearly feel the shiver run through Christopher's body. He turned his head mechanically and looked in their direction.
She almost burst out laughing.
He looked as if he didn't know whether to laugh or cry. The woman standing next to him also saw them and was very curious.
"Christopher, who are they?" She asked.
"My family. I have other things to do. You go first," Christopher told her and strode into the restaurant.
He didn't care about that woman.
The woman was reluctant and decided to follow him in. However, when she saw Felicia's gloomy eyes, she stopped in her tracks. She knew that this woman was not a person to be trifled with, so she gave up unwillingly.
Christopher came in and sat directly beside Everleigh. "Why are you guys here?" He asked.
"Didn't you say you were on duty? Why do you have time to flirt with girls? It seems that your money is still enough, right?" Felicia said with a vague smile.
"How could that be? I'm going to die of poverty. You know that I'm investigating some things for Everleigh..." He explained.
"The staff member is also from the Meyer family. What does it have to do with you? Did you do anything to help?" Felicia asked continuously, which made him shut up.
Everleigh sat silently and did not interrupt, but her stomach suddenly rumbled.
The atmosphere suddenly became very awkward.
"Well... I haven't had dinner yet," she said.
"Waiter, I want to order food," Felicia called for the waiter.
After ordering a few dishes, Everleigh ate directly without hesitation . Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.
When Felicia saw her appetite, she chuckled and said, "If you really can't have your meal, you can ask Christopher to bring some from home for you."
"Come on, if I want something from home, Mom and Dad will bombard me with annoying questions," he said.
"If you tell them it's for Everleigh, they wouldn't say anything for sure," Felicia said.
He remained silent.
He didn't expect that an outsider would be treated better than him. He felt that his life wasn't going well anymore.
After dinner, Christopher and Everleigh went back to the hospital. Felicia reminded her and said, "Go back and visit if you have the time."
"Alright," Everleigh replied. She would go back for sure.
There were some things that should be said clearly.
On the way back to the hospital, Christopher asked, "Did she tell you?" "Yeah, if | had known that it's from the Meyer family, | wouldn't have let you help me. Isn't it a waste of the Meyer family's resources?" Everleigh replied.
