Said I didn’t Love Him But I Lied

It was the first time Everleigh had heard a member of the Jenkins family criticizing another member. No matter how much Saniogo disliked Yeezoo, he had never said a single harsh word about him.

But Missha was completely different.

“Uncle Yeezoo and his family have been jailed,” Everleigh said after thinking for a while.

Missha was slightly surprised. “When did it happen?”

“It happened just before I came here, and it’s all because of me…” Everleigh answered.

However, Missha suddenly laughed. “It sounds interesting, but well done.”

“You don’t blame me?”

“Everleigh, Yeezoo and his family are just like that; they need to be taught a lesson. Besides, he is an elder in the family and no one can scold him, so this is the only way to punish them. It’s actually a good thing for them to suffer a little.” Missha had expected something like that to happen.

Yeezoo’s personality would put him in trouble sooner or later. All those years, it was Alexander and Saniogo who had been trying to protect him. No matter who caught him, it would be really bad for him.

Had Yeezoo become a hated person in the Jenkins family? Everleigh pondered to herself.

Even his own younger sister couldn’t bear with him.

The two of them chatted in the office for a long time. It wasn’t until Christopher sent her a message that he knew that Everleigh and Missha had already come down from the office.

“Aunt Missha, I’ll come back tomorrow. I have to go now.”

Missha glanced at the watch on her wrist. “Since it’s already so late now, alright then. We don’t have to eat together today, but you must have a meal with me tomorrow. I’ll bring you to the best restaurant.”

“Sure.” Everleigh agreed.

Missha then sent her down to the main entrance before she went back to work.This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

Christopher and Theodore stood not far away from the door and saw Everleigh walking out.

She walked along the street and saw the two of them.

“So, how did everything go?” She asked.

“Let’s find a place to eat first,” Christopher said as he pointed to a restaurant nearby.

Theodore and Everleigh both looked over, and didn’t say anything else.

They knew that it wasn’t appropriate to talk on the street.

In the restaurant, Everleigh asked the same question again. Theodore and Christopher looked at each other, and noticed the confusion in each other’s eyes.

“I asked the lady at the reception counter. She said that no such person has ever worked in the company before.”

“How is that possible? Didn’t you investigate it?”

“My investigation is never wrong.” Christopher looked grave. He couldn’t believe it either.

He had checked with a few staff members from the human resources department, and Xemon wasn’t working there. There wasn’t even a former employee with that name. There was no such person named Xemon White at all.

Theodore’s eyes flashed as he suddenly remembered something. He then took out his phone and called Moses. “I need you to look into someone. I’ll send you his information later. Help me check if this person has ever changed his identity.”

His words enlightened Everleigh and Christopher. Right, he could’ve changed his identity.

“Let’s eat,” Theodore said in a low voice. Investigating someone’s background wasn’t something that could be done in an instant.

What’s more, it had happened so many years ago.

It made it even more difficult to investigate.

After the three of them had lunch, Christopher and Everleigh reported to the hospital. Christopher said to Theodore, “You should go back first.”

“No need, I’ll stay here with Everleigh,” he responded indifferently. He didn’t seem to have any intention of leaving at all.

Christopher despised him. Why was he suddenly acting like a kind and warm man?

Everleigh, Christopher, and several other hospital workers reported for duty. They did a simple self-introduction and started working for the whole afternoon.

They only finished work late at night.

Everleigh was so exhausted that she laid on the sofa. Theodore prepared some hot water for her to soak her feet in. Then, he gave her a shoulder massage.

“What will other people think if they see Mr. Godfrey serving someone like this?”

“I don’t care what others will think.” He was not interested in it. He felt he didn’t have to seek permission from others to treat his own lover well.

She chuckled, “Wow, that’s really positive of you.”

“You don’t like it?”

“I like it. Of course I like the fact that someone is serving me.” She wasn’t a pretentious lady, especially when she was feeling tired. She had been busy all afternoon and didn’t even have a sip of water.

She had lost all her energy to do something else.

He massaged her for a long while, but he didn’t complain about his sore arms. Despite this, she didn’t want to tire him out. “Alright, that’s enough. If you continue, my shoulders won’t work tomorrow. Come and sit down.”

“Okay. Let me pour you a cup of tea.” He had specially packed some tea as he was worried that it wasn’t available in Maniville.

He was afraid that she wouldn’t like the drinks there.

She took a sip. “Mm, it’s good.”

“It’s good that you like it.”

“What should we do next? We don’t have much time left, and I’m afraid that we’ll have to return before we can even find him.” Everleigh was worried. Their time was already limited, but it became even more urgent.

Theodore comforted her softly, “You don’t have to worry. If we really can’t find him, I’ll get someone else to come here and investigate. If he’s ever been here, he’ll definitely leave a trace behind.”

He came up with an inference. If they still couldn’t find any clue, that person might have already died.

Her face became gloomy. She was worried that it would be extremely difficult to look for his traces, but it was their last resort.

The next day, before Everleigh went to meet Missha, she let the two men continue investigating.

“In my opinion, we cannot find anything else from Jenkins Group, so I’d better check out its branch office.”

Christopher looked at the information on the file and found out that Xemon had had a job at the branch office.

“I’ll go with him, don’t worry, you can just go meet your aunt.” Theodore didn’t want to stay in the hotel for the whole day. It made him feel like a useless man.

Hearing his suggestion, Christopher glared at him. “Are you crazy? Why do you want to follow me?”

“If you don’t like it, feel free to stay here. I can go by myself.”

“Are you trying to take over my job? In your dreams!” Christopher snorted. He had paid for the investigation, and even participated in it, and now Theodore wanted to take advantage of him? Impossible.

Everleigh was used to Christopher’s attitude, so she wasn’t surprised at all.

At Jenkins Group, Missha brought Everleigh along and walked around the office. She wanted her to be familiarized with all the departments. However, Everleigh couldn’t understand anything, so she smiled while saying, “Aunt Missha, I don’t think it’s relevant for us to talk about this right now.”

“It takes some time, but you’ll eventually get used to it. The staff members in this department come from different countries and ethnicities, including those from our home country.”

When Everleigh heard that, she was stunned. “Aunt Missha, are there any records of all our countrymen who have ever worked here?”

“Of course, but the number of our countrymen working here is slowly decreasing. There are only around ten left in every department. After all, some people have big dreams that they want to pursue,” Missha explained.

Everleigh understood, and an idea popped up in her mind.

At noon, when Missha took Everleigh to lunch, she immediately sent Theodore a message.

She wanted them to try and investigate it.

“Everleigh, try this dish…”

“Madam Jenkins, what a coincidence!” All of a sudden, a woman’s voice came from behind and interrupted their conversation.

Everleigh looked back at the person who was walking over to them.

That woman was wearing a white suit. She had blonde, loosely-curled hair, and her almond-shaped eyes were shining like diamonds.

“Hello, Miss Lawson.”

“And this is?” Annie looked at Everleigh strangely. Missha rarely had meals alone with someone else, especially women.
