Said I didn’t Love Him But I Lied

Everleigh couldn’t help but ask Cecil, “What is your brother saying to Felicia?”

“Can’t you see that he likes her?” Cecil crossed her arms and said coolly.

“Yea… What??” Before Everleigh could finish her sentence, her voice raised a little. She stared at her in shock, as if she didn’t understand what she had just said. “What did you say?”

“I heard about it from Zeldan too. My brother has been liking her for a long time. I don’t understand why he hasn’t confessed yet.”

Everleigh’s mouth couldn’t close for a moment. She couldn’t imagine how the two of them would get along. Felicia was cold-natured, while Lenold was an indifferent person. What would they even talk about if they really got together?

She felt cold after thinking about it for a while.

Her whole body was trembling.

“Are you feeling cold?” Cecil noticed her behavior.

Everleigh shook her head and dismissed the thought.

She just felt that it would be really weird for those two to get together.

When Cecil was about to take a sip of wine, she saw Leon walking over. Her brows knitted slightly. She sensed that something was wrong with him.

In the past, even when he was attending an important event, his eyes would be filled with excitement even though he looked cool.

But now, he looked just like a soulless person.

It made her feel like the man in front of her was just like the walking dead.

“Everleigh,” he called in a harsh tone.

Everleigh’s entire body shook as she heard his voice. A chill welled up in her heart as she turned her head to look at him. It was just like looking at Theodore when she had just returned from abroad previously.

“Leon.”

“How is Selena doing?” When Leon mentioned Selena’s name, there were some emotions in his eyes, and his voice trembled a little bit. Although it was very light, Everleigh and Cecil could still hear it.

She didn’t answer. Selena had been abroad for so long, and she hadn’t received a message from her. If she didn’t have her agent’s contact number, she would have thought that something bad had happened to her.

“She’s very well. She hasn’t come back yet, as she’s still filming abroad.”

Hearing her words, Leon lowered his eyes, gritted his teeth and kept silent.

Cecil leaned carefully towards Everleigh and whispered in her ear, “What’s wrong with him?”

“I don’t know.”

“I didn’t expect you to become a researcher. I’ve really underestimated you.” He switched topics. He became just as cold as before, untouchable and unapproachable.

She smiled awkwardly.

“Leon, come over here.” Theodore called out to him from the side. Leon turned around and walked over to him.

After he left, Everleigh let out a sigh of relief. It was too scary. If Theodore hadn’t called him by his name, she would have suspected that the man in front of her was another person.

“What happened to him? Did your sister trigger him?” Cecil came to a conclusion.

Everleigh nodded.

Alexander and Xavier bumped into each other. They looked at each other and didn’t want to talk. Then, they walked away and looked for their own friends.

“Everleigh,” Alexander called.

“Alexander.”

He went over to Cecil and they talked about something, though his face didn’t look very good.

He gave her a nod, then turned back to look at Everleigh and asked seriously, “Is it true that government officials will be here?”

“Yes. It’s Theodore’s arrangement. He wants to reassure the public, so he decided to carry out an inspection in front of everyone!” Everleigh was truly speechless at Theodore’s way of thinking.

Alexander chuckled. It was true; making everything clear to the public was their best assurance.

He had to admit that Theodore was indeed a business expert.

When the government officials arrived, Theodore and Everleigh walked up to greet them.

“Nice to meet you, Mr. Godfrey.”

“It’s a pleasure to meet you too, Mr. Andrews. Everything is ready. This way please.” Theodore invited the inspectors in.

The official, Reeman Andrews, nodded and followed him into the building. Those who attended the opening ceremony followed behind as well.

They saw all the medical equipment displayed inside Theodore’s company, Everleigh even introduced the usage and parts of the equipment.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

Other than the officials, everyone else was stunned. No one had expected Theodore to exhibit all the items nicely.

Many of the machines there were not for sale in other countries.

“Excellent. Mr. Godfrey, I hope you can bring more benefits to the patients. Thank you.”

“You’re welcome.”

Reeman and his men looked through the machines for a short while, then left.

After all, the registration procedures had been completed beforehand.

After they had left, Theodore invited all the guests to the restaurant next door. He wanted to thank everyone for attending the opening ceremony.

A barbeque buffet was served at the restaurant, and the guests could eat whatever they wanted. The tables were set in the garden, so it wouldn’t feel crowded, even though there were hundreds of people there. Plus, the air outside was refreshing.

Alexander took a few plates of food that Cecil and Everleigh liked, and passed it to them. “You two eat here first, I’ll go talk to a few people.”

“Alright.”

Before Everleigh could even speak, Cecil answered first, as if she was very familiar with him. Everleigh was speechless.

The reporters had some food and drinks as well, and took some photos at the same time. The trip was indeed meaningful to them.

“After today, you’ll be really famous,” Cecil said as she ate her food.

Looking at all the reporters, it was certain that Theodore’s news would occupy the headlines of Ocpeace City.

Everleigh didn’t respond. Instead, she looked over in Theodore’s direction and scanned around, but she just didn’t see Wilson. Did he really not care at all? She pondered.

“There’s no need to look for him. He’s not here.” A cold voice sounded.

Then, they saw Xavier in his wheelchair, being pushed over by his bodyguard.

“Do you even know who I’m looking for?”

“There’s only one person who doesn’t want to see you guys opening a new company. Who else could it be?” He chuckled, with a hint of sarcasm in his eyes.

Everleigh lowered her head. She seemed to have forgotten that he hated Wilson even more than her.

She was only harmed mentally, but he was tortured both mentally and physically.

“Oh, I almost forgot to congratulate you. Congratulations on becoming the chief researcher.” Xavier changed the topic, and the sarcasm and mockery in his tone had disappeared.

“Thank you.”

“Let me remind you though. Wilson has some connections in the government. If you want to run this company well, remember not to trust the wrong people,” he mentioned.

She understood another meaning behind his words. “Do you mean…”

“Miss Trevino, just focus on your research. My brother will take care of the rest.” Xavier picked up a piece of food on the table and tried it.

When Everleigh heard him calling Theodore his brother, she was slightly surprised.

He didn’t notice her expression. Instead, he instructed James, “Bring me over there to get some of this. It tastes really good.”

“Yes, Mr. Godfrey.”

Cecil watched them walk away and spoke in a low voice, “Xavier is really helping Theodore maintain a good impression.”

“I know. If no one from the Godfrey family shows up, people will surely gossip about it.”

“The way these two brothers get along is really bizarre. They clearly care for each other, but they always act like arch-enemies.” Cecil glanced at Xavier, feeling very puzzled.
