Said I didn’t Love Him But I Lied

Just as Adrienne’s voice fell, Theodore walked in, holding a lot of things in his hands.

Seeing this, Elvir couldn’t help but say, “Did you empty the whole supermarket? The rich man’s world is indeed something we can’t relate to.”

“Mr. Carter, hello. Come and have something to eat.” Theodore looked at him blankly for a moment.This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

At the same time, he knew what Elvir’s presence represented.

“Sure, why not? I haven’t eaten yet. I’ve been too busy all day.” Elvir wasn’t shy and went to get himself some food.

Everleigh reached for her dessert and thought of something. There were still the after effects from being shocked earlier.

Theodore could tell something was on her mind, but he didn’t ask. Instead, Adrienne kept talking, as if there was no end to what she could say.

Elvir looked at her and spaced out for a moment.

If they were still alive, he believed that his child would be at this age.

When he thought of this, he suddenly lost his appetite.

A bitter taste flooded his mouth.

After the meal, Theodore took Alastair and Adrienne to wash the dishes. The only people in the room were Elvir and Everleigh.

“Mr. Carter, I may need your help to investigate my aunt. You saw it too. Her handwriting is the same as the one on Qusay’s check.” Everly remained silent for a long time before speaking slowly.

“You can’t accept that either, can you?” Elvir knew that she was silent for so long because she couldn’t believe that Missha would do such a thing.

A rueful laugh escaped Everleigh. “Yes, I can’t believe it. After all, she is very kind to me. Now, it transpires that she is my parents’ murderer. I can’t accept it in any way.”

She couldn’t believe that a Jenkins would kill their own family members. She could also see that Missha had adored Welment. That gaze didn’t seem fake. However, why? Why would she have struck out at them?

He took a deep breath. “Okay, I’ll start investigating now. Since you said it, you should be mentally prepared.”

“I understand.”

She would have been prepared. After all, Missha was her aunt and no one else.

When Elvir left, Theodore came back.

Seeing her serious expression, he sat down next to her and said, “Does Elvir have any leads?”

“He does, and he’s on his way to look more into it. We’ll know the results after that.” Everleigh wanted to smile and reassure him, but she couldn’t do it.

He reached out to caress her face. “If you don’t want to smile, then don’t. I won’t mind. It’s enough for you to just stay by my side.”

Her eyes were slightly red, and tears filled her eyes.

In fact, even though she had found her biological parents, plenty of challenges were still lying in wait for her.

All she wanted was some peace and quiet. As long as she had her husband and children, that was enough.

Three days later, Missha came to Everleigh, and when she saw that her niece was recovering well, she had an unreadable twinkle in her eye.

“Aunt, why are you standing there? Come on in.” Everleigh tried to stretch, but when she turned around, she saw Missha standing in the doorway, steeping in contemplation.

“I saw you doing your exercises, so I didn’t bother you.”

“I’ve been lying in bed for too long. My body has been pretty stiff lately, so I need to do some stretching.” Everleigh pretended to complain. She did miss being in and out of the hospital every day, but at least that was better than now.

Missha saw right through her thoughts. “When you’re better, you can go back to the battlefield.”

Everleigh sighed. “My headache still comes every now and then. Theodore won’t agree, so there’s nothing I can do about it.” She also wanted to return to work sooner.

However, her health condition did not allow her to work. Sometimes, when she had headaches, she couldn’t control herself. It would be bad if she was to get sick while operating on someone and cause problems with the surgery.

Seeing her like this, Missha thought for a moment and then said, “Would you like to go abroad for treatment?”

“I don’t think that’s necessary. Dr. Harrison said there are certain consequences to a serious head injury.” When Everleigh heard this, she felt a little uneasy.

She was afraid that she would fall into her aunt’s hands if she went abroad.

Missha smiled and touched her face. “Yes, Dr. Harrison’s medical skills are excellent. He is confident that he can cure you, which is for the best.”

“Aunt, don’t you need to work today? You didn’t come over for a few days, so I thought you were busy at the company.”

Missha shook her head. “I’m free now. I didn’t come over for the past three days because I had some minor things to take care of. When you’re in my position, you’ll realize that although it looks powerful, the truth is that it’s exhausting. There are endless things to deal with everyday. Even I tried to hang out, but when I came back, it was just stacks upon stacks of paperwork.”

Hearing this, Everleigh thought of Theodore. He used to be busy with the company’s affairs.

He simply hadn’t had much time for her. She believed that if it wasn’t for the accident, he wouldn’t have abandoned the company even for a moment.

“Forget it, let’s not talk about these unhappy things. By the way, I heard that there is a new circus here. Do you want to go see it?”

“I’m not allowed to leave the hospital right now, but I’ll let Alastair and Adrienne see it. They’re both suckers for it. When we were abroad, they used to go to the circus a lot.”

Missha nodded. “Then I’ll take them there.”

“Thanks Aunt, but I think Christopher and Erine will bring them to watch the show.”

When Missha heard her say that, she responded no more. In the afternoon, when Saniogo came in, they chatted for a while before Missha left with him.

Missha and Saniogo had just gotten into the car when she received a phone call saying that someone was now on to her.

“Who is it?”

“I’m not sure, but that person’s ID is from the country.” Missha’s eyes narrowed slightly, and a chill emanated from her.

There was no one in this country who didn’t know who she was. The only people who would want to investigate her would only be…

“I know. I’ll take it from here.” Missha didn’t say anything more because Saniogo was beside her. She simply hung up.

Saniogo turned his head and looked at her. “You don’t look too well. Did something happen?”

“It’s all about the company. It’s always one headache after another. Say, Saniogo, why on earth did I go abroad at that time?”

“That was your own choice.” His words were open to interpretations, the sum of various meanings.

Looking at him, Missha’s expression stiffened slightly, and there was a subtle change to her eyes.

Then she shifted her gaze.

Neither of them spoke on the way home. When they got home, they each went to their own rooms. She looked at the file sent by her secretary, her eyes gloomy. After that, she sneered, reached out her hand and tapped on the keyboard, then turned off the computer.

“Oh well, it seems that some people are really obdurate.” Missha’s eerie voice seemed to be the call of the devil, terrifying people to their core.

On the second day, Elvir gave the information to Everleigh.
