Said I didn’t Love Him But I Lied

Alexander turned to look at his father. In comparison, Everleigh was more like a family member than they were.

“Outsider? Who are you talking about? Everleigh? She’s my uncle’s child, which makes her the same as Cynthia. If she’s an outsider, shouldn’t Cynthia be one too?” Alexander’s tone became a little heavier.

Luqman was flustered and exasperated. He pointed at him but couldn’t utter any word for a long time

However, Saniogo, who was sitting on the sofa, stood up. He swept his cold gaze across the room and said, “Luqman, I’ll repeat myself. Everleigh isn’t an outsider. If you say that again, don’t blame me for turning all of you into true ‘outsiders’.”

Luqman’s body shook and he looked at him with his eyes widened. “Saniogo, are you actually giving up on our brotherhood for her?”

“Speaking of giving up on our brotherhood, you’re actually good with it, aren’t you? You can stop the little tricks behind my back now, otherwise…” Saniogo’s last words were very threatening.

He had no look of affection. Instead, there was a bone-chilling coldness in his eyes.

Luqman’s body shook and he took a few steps back. His face was stiff but he could not utter a single word.

“If there’s nothing else, leave. I’m tired.” Saniogo waved his big hand, signaling them to leave.

Seeing this, Luqman could not stay any longer. Cynthia could not help but stomp on the ground and leave with her father.

At that time, in the Trevino family home, Everleigh patiently explained the Jenkins family’s affairs to the kids. Adrienne was quite sensible. She said in a cute tone, “I know, Mommy. When I go back, I will apologize to Grand-Uncle.”

“Okay, he loves the two of you the most. Don’t say words that make him sad anymore.”

“Got it,” Adrienne pouted. If it wasn’t because of her mother, she wouldn’t have said such words.

Alastair just sat there silently. No one knew what was going through his mind.

Everleigh’s phone rang. It was from Christopher. She glanced at it and said, “I’ll answer the phone first.”

Taking her phone to the other side, she picked it up and asked, “What’s wrong?”

“I found Elvir’s information.”

“That fast?”

“It’s not that I’m fast, but this Elvir is too famous.”

She frowned. “What do you mean?”

“Elvir was a policeman thirty years ago. He specialized in investigating major cases and offended many people.” When he mentioned this, there was already a hint of admiration in his voice.

In his eyes, Elvir was a man to be respected.

“Then why did he appear here?”

“He solved a big case and provoked some people. His wife and daughter were killed so he got depressed. Furthermore, I also have an unexpected harvest.” Christopher purposely kept her in suspense.

Everleigh’s interest was piqued by his words so she asked, “What is it?”

“When his wife and daughter were killed, they couldn’t find the culprit. He got completely drunk everyday. It was Saniogo who reached out to him. I don’t understand why Saniogo helped him all of a sudden either. He also had him to deal with this matter.”

She was a little confused. Why did her uncle offer to help a policeman, especially such a person?

“If you want to know the truth, you can ask your uncle. I believe that he will be willing to tell you. I heard that Elvir came out of that kind of place. He has lived here since his wife died,” Christopher said.

She felt a little uncomfortable. Thinking of Elvir’s unkempt face which was full of stubble, he looked as if he had experienced all kinds of vicissitudes in life.

It turned out that the pain in his heart was no less than others.

“That’s enough. Have a good rest. I only managed to get this much information. I’m going to look for the people involved in the incident. By the way, I just received a message. There’s something on Derick.”

She was shocked when she heard the name Derick. She almost forgot that there was someone else investigating this matter.

“Where is he?”

“I heard that he is in Desino. I have sent people to look for him, but I have to say that this guy is really smart. My people chased after him for so long but he’s still able to get away.” Christopher was very depressed when he talked about this. It was the first time that he had to spend so much time looking for someone.

It was really a slap in the face.

“Of course he was quick to react. You are probably not the only person looking for him; maybe Wilson is also looking for him too. No matter who gets him, there’s only one ending for him. Even if he kills himself, he can’t fall into the hands of others,” Everleigh analyzed. The amount of days he could still stay alive was numbered.

Christopher did not retort. What she said was true.

Forget it, they should take things one step at a time. What he was hoping for was that Wilson shouldn’t succeed before him. Otherwise, this clue would be cut off again.

Wilson was indeed an experienced and astute person. He had a deep understanding of what it meant to take a step at a time.

After Everleigh hung up the phone, her phone rang again. She thought it was Christopher but it turned out to be Selena.

Speaking of her, her sister had not come back for several months. She wondered how the filming was going.

“Hello, Selena.”

“Everleigh!” Selena called out.

Everleigh was a little puzzled. She didn’t remember how long Selena had not called her like this.

“I’m here.”

Hearing this, Selena’s eyes welled up. What went through her mind which made her do these bad things to her at that time?

“I’m coming back today. I am in the crew now. Can you come and pick me up later?”

When Everleigh heard this, she was very happy. “Wait for me there. I’ll bring Alastair and Adrienne together.”

“Okay, I’ll wait for you guys.” Hearing her words, Selena’s mouth curved into a smile but her eyes were filled with tears.

After Everleigh hung up the phone, she took the children and went to the crew to pick her up.

The moment Selena put down the phone, she suddenly understood how Everleigh had lived alone abroad for so many years.

Having been here for a few months, she had already experienced the feeling of loneliness and helplessness.

She could only imagine how she managed to survive for so many years.

After Everleigh arrived, she saw Selena standing not far away, talking to a man.

“Selena.”

“Everleigh, you are here. Let me introduce you.” Selena heard her and hurried over. She said, “This is my boyfriend whom I met abroad. His name is Jorben Pratt.”

Everleigh glanced at him. He looked very handsome but his eyes were a little gloomy.

“Nice to meet you.”

“Hello, I heard from Selena that you have two children. I believe these are the two that I’m talking about.” After saying that, Jorben looked down at the two children.

Alastair and Adrienne greeted him at the same time. “Nice to meet you, uncle.”

“Nice to meet the both of you.”

Selena smiled and said, “Alastair, Adrienne, I brought you a gift. Come on, let’s go home.”

“Okay, thank you, Aunt Selena!” Adrienne shouted happily. The happiest moment for her was when she opened a gift.

They were very happy with the laptops Alexander gave them last time.All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

They felt comfortable and happy each time they watched cartoons on it.

Selena looked tired. She just wanted to have a good rest.

“Jorben, we’ll go first. I’ll see you tomorrow.”

“Alright.”
