Said I didn’t Love Him But I Lied

The arrogant family of three suddenly fell silent, and no one said anything again.

When Everleigh saw the scene, her sneer was even more intense.

“I don’t mind anything that Cynthia has said against me, but I won’t allow anyone to mess with my career.”

Saniogo stared at Cynthia with rage in his eyes. “Cynthia, no matter how mischievous and stubborn you are, you can never do things like this. What if something bad happened to Everleigh? Can you bear all the consequences?”

Cynthia was probably triggered by his words, so she raised her head and looked at him, full of resentment. “Why should I bear the consequences? Before she suddenly appeared in the family, I was the princess here. I could do everything I wanted to, and I could say whatever I liked. However, now, the world is revolving around her. We’re not even sure if she’s really a member of the Jenkins family. How is she better than me? How could she take everything away from me?”

Yeezo and Melissa both stared at Everleigh in hatred.

Despite this, Everleigh didn’t care about it. There were simply too many people who disliked her, and there was no reason for her to try and please them.

“I’ve never thought of taking anything away from you. It’s all your own pettiness,” Everleigh responded in a deep voice.

The words came from the bottom of her heart. If she hadn’t known about the matter, she probably wouldn’t have had anything to do with the Jenkins family.

She had never intended to climb up the social ladder.

Although the Trevino family wasn’t a wealthy or influential family, the members of the family were at least not in such a big mess.

She would rather be a daughter of the Trevino family, than to have anything to do with the Jenkins family.

“Don’t act like a holy saint over here. If you didn’t coax Uncle Saniogo so well, would you have been able to sit here? Everleigh Trevino, you are nothing but an uneducated hick. You’d better take the two little devils with you and get lost,” Cynthia wasn’t holding back at all.

As soon as the words came out of Cynthia’s mouth, Everleigh grabbed a wine glass on the table and splashed wine directly onto her face. Then, she smashed the glass on the ground, warning with a furious voice, “Cynthia Jenkins, if you dare say another word about my children, I will rip your mouth off.”

Her voice echoed throughout the large living room.

Her face was grim and terrifying, like a bomb that was about to explode. Cynthia’s heart skipped a beat. It was as if she had just been poured with sulfuric acid instead of wine.

Alexander stood up and patted Everleigh on the shoulder to comfort her and calm her down.

He then turned to look at Cynthia and said, “We won’t interfere in this matter. Everleigh can do anything she wants about it.”

“Alexander, how is that possible? She’s your dear cousin…” Melissa tried to defend Cynthia.

“They’re both my cousins. I will not cover up for her after she’s done something wrong,” he retorted directly.

Yeezoo wanted to say something, but the words were stuck in his throat. His face was red-hot out of embarrassment.

However, Melissa continued protecting Cynthia. “What are you going to do to her?”

“Everyone should be punished for doing something wrong. I am known to be just and unbiased. Shouldn’t the culprit of this incident be punished as well? What do you think, Cynthia?” Everleigh looked at her with a smirk.

The coolness in her eyes was deep and unfathomable, just like the deep blue sea.

Cynthia shook her head and took a few steps back, staring at Everleigh in horror. “No… You can’t touch me… I’m the precious princess of the Jenkins family…”

Her words made Luqman and his family feel very disgusted. Linggon couldn’t help but voice out, “Cynthia, you’re wrong. Yasmine is a princess of the Jenkins family too. However, why didn’t she do anything wrong like you have done?” He didn’t like Cynthia very much. She was only slightly older than him.

“That’s right. This time, your trick has failed, but what if it somehow succeeded? How do you expect Yasmine to face the public?” Fenna added.

She felt really good and triumphant. Yeezoo had always bullied them just because he had more shares. She could finally let them have a taste of their own medicine.

“You better shut up,” Melissa chided after she heard her words.

All of a sudden, Saniogo grabbed his glass and smashed it on the table. “That’s enough!” He shouted furiously, “How long must this go on?”

He got up angrily and looked at everyone present. However, Everleigh looked back at him with a clear conscience.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

“Regarding this matter, Everleigh will make the decision. Cynthia, if you dare cause any trouble ever again, I will kick you out of the Jenkins family, and don’t even think about returning for the rest of your life!”

“Saniogo, she’s my only daughter!” Yeezoo was very displeased with his words.

Cynthia was his only daughter, and she would inherit everything from him in the future. Yet, his brother was actually trying to disown her from the family.

How could he be happy with that?

Saniogo glared at him. “Cynthia is your only daughter, but isn’t Everleigh Welment’s only daughter as well? Can’t you see what’s happening in the family right now? Why are you still causing trouble at this point? Yeezoo, have I been too lenient to you?”

When Yeezoo heard his words, he could only endure it no matter how disgruntled he was.

Everleigh had been staring at Cynthia the whole time, paying attention to every expression that appeared on her face. She was sure that someone like her wouldn’t admit defeat so easily.

“I’ll call the police, and the judge will make the final decision.” In fact, Everleigh had already called the police while she was on her way there. The police should be arriving soon.

Yeezoo’s eyes widened. “What did you say?”

“I’m sure you’ve heard it clearly.” A few seconds later, a group of people walked in through the door. The butler wanted to stop them from entering, but Everleigh called him, “I asked them to come. Let them in.”

The butler was startled for a moment. He glanced at Saniogo, and he nodded his head without hesitation to let them in.

A few police officers walked towards Cynthia and said, “Miss Jenkins, you’ve been reported for defamation of character. Please come with us to assist in the investigation.”

She was shocked as soon as they entered. She looked at Saniogo in panic while grabbing Melissa’s hands at the same time. “Mom, I don’t want to be taken away! Mom, help me, please!”

“Miss Jenkins, if you refuse to come with us, then we’ll have to officially arrest you.”

Hearing the police officer’s words, Yeezoo and his family, especially Cynthia, were all stunned. She sat on the ground hopelessly.

She didn’t want to go to the police station.

“Sir, just take her away,” Alexander said unexpectedly.

Cynthia wanted to run away, but she was grabbed by Linggon. “Cynthia, think carefully. If you run away right now, things will definitely get worse.”

“You…” She turned around and looked at his face, feeling even angrier.

That b*stard was actually grabbing her shirt, refusing to let her go. She couldn’t believe it.

Then, she was taken away. Yeezoo and Melissa were worried about her, so they followed along as well. Before leaving, they warned Everleigh, “Don’t think that you’ll get away with this. If anything happens to Cynthia, you’ll be responsible.”

“Let me return this sentence back to you. If anything happens to me or my children, you will definitely be responsible for it,” Everleigh responded. She was reluctant to back off.

She knew that she would definitely offend some people when she chose to attend the dinner. However, she had no regrets. If she didn’t make a move but remained silent instead, she might be attacked again in the future. Since it was difficult to prevent being backstabbed, it was better for her to face the threats directly.

After Yeezoo and his family had left, the living room fell into an awkward silence.

Saniogo raised his head and looked at Everleigh. “You had already called the police to wait here for her, right?”
