Said I didn’t Love Him But I Lied

“I’m just thinking. Even you have thought of it, so why didn’t Wilson notice it? Isn’t he…” Before Everleigh could finish her sentence, her face became stiff as she asked in shock, “It was you?”

Theodore chuckled, “You’re really smart.”

“How did you do that?”

“Wilson’s biggest problem is his greed. The more greedy he is, the more weaknesses he will show, especially when he is abroad. I just used a small trick and led Wilson into this situation,” he explained with a cold tone.

She kept silent for a long moment.

After a long while, she finally asked, “What about the Jenkins family?”

“The Jenkins family? Do you think your eldest uncle is a narrow-minded person? He had never intended to participate in the auction after he knew that Ysabelle had returned. He’s far more experienced than I am, or else, how could he become the head of one of the Four Greatest Households?” Theodore had to admit that Saniogo was an expert with great vision.

If it was someone else, they probably would’ve made a rash move.

Furthermore, they would’ve put in all their money to win the land.

“How is Godfrey Group doing now? What if Wilson finds out?” Everleigh asked.

“Godfrey Group can afford to buy the land. The worst case scenario is that it will probably lose a few years’ worth of profit.” Theodore had been in charge of Godfrey Group for so many years. He definitely knew everything about the company’s financial power.

The two of them continued walking down the path. As they started feeling tired, they decided to go back.

“I can pick you up tomorrow,” he offered.

“It’s okay, I have to go to the Meyer family’s place tomorrow,” she replied. She heard that Ysabelle was leaving soon, so she wanted to meet her one more time.

He didn’t say anything, but there was a flash of uneasiness in his deep gaze.

They were deeply in love with each other, but had to keep it a secret just because of the Meyer family. Why did it have to be hidden?

Thinking of it, he couldn’t say anything even though he was upset. After all, it was his fault that had led them into their current situation. He had to bear the consequences.

The next day, Everleigh brought Alastair and Adrienne to visit the Meyer family. They were all overjoyed, especially Vanessa. She would give the two children all the best gifts in the world if she could.

Ysabelle sipped on her tea while sitting on the sofa, which looked rather similar to Samuel’s actions.

“Don’t you have to go to work?”

“I’ve swapped my shift with someone else. Plus, you’re leaving soon, so I should come and visit you,” Everleigh replied in her soft voice.

Ysabelle nodded and giggled, “It’s not like I’m not coming back anymore. Why are you so worried about me? Come on, let’s have a walk in the garden.”

Everleigh stood up and followed her out. She asked Alastair and Adrienne to behave themselves before leaving.

Vanessa waved her hand and said, “Don’t worry about Alastair and Adrienne. We’ll take care of them. Just go ahead.”

Everleigh didn’t say anything else, and walked to the garden with Ysabelle.

The two of them then sat on a garden bench and enjoyed the autumn sunshine. “Ocpeace City is still the best, I have family and friends here. It’s way better than living abroad,” Ysabelle said.This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

“Ysabelle, are you planning to come back for good?”

“I’m planning to do so, but I have to train someone to take charge abroad. I’ve been away from home for way too long now,” she sighed, revealing her strong feelings for her hometown.

Anyone would want to enjoy a luxurious life at home. However, it was only just a dream. In order to achieve success, one had to work hard and sacrifice.

It was impossible for one to live life nicely without putting in any effort, including Ysabelle.

Everleigh looked down and remained silent. She wanted to say something, but didn’t know how. Especially after Christopher had told her about the whole story, only then did she know that Ysabelle had to bear so much pain when she moved abroad.

She also finally understood why Felicia was treating Ysabelle nicely ever since she came back. Sibling love wasn’t the only reason; another reason was her sense of guilt.

“Felicia has been acting strange recently. Do you know why?” Ysabelle changed the topic all of a sudden, which startled Everleigh. The topic change was simply too quick for her to react.

Ysabelle noticed her stunned reaction and asked, “What’s wrong?”

“Nothing… Why are you asking about that?”

“I know my sister’s personality well. She has always been a strong, decisive person, and she’s even colder than me whenever she talks. However, lately, she has been constantly on her phone, revealing a smile every now and then. Is there something wrong with her?” Ysabelle said.

Everleigh was flabbergasted. Why were the members of wealthy families all so observant?

“I don’t know either. I rarely spend time with Felicia,” Everleigh answered as she picked up a glass of fruit juice beside her and started sipping on it unnaturally.

She was trying to avoid eye contact with Ysabelle.

She immediately understood what was going on by looking at Everleigh’s expression. She snickered and said, “Since you’ve said so, I believe you know nothing about it.”

“Yeah, Felicia has always been free and easy, so I don’t really dare to ask her about her private life.”

Ysabelle, however, smiled without saying anything. She already had an idea in mind.

Everyone headed over to the dining room as soon as the food had been prepared. Felicia hurried back home after receiving a call from them as well. She sat down on her chair, picked up her fork, and started eating. “Ysabelle, I’ve booked a flight ticket for you. Your flight is tomorrow night, so you can sleep on the plane.”

Ysabelle nodded.

Christopher, on the other hand, was taking care of Alastair and Adrienne as if he was already used to it.

“Christopher, I want to eat crabs,” Adrienne said.

“Alright, I’ll peel it for you,” Christopher responded with a smile. Then, he removed the crab meat from the shells and placed it on her plate. It was a loving scene.

“Thank you!” Adrienne said as she ate it.

She was happy for sure.

After the heavy meal, both Alastair and Adrienne felt sleepy, so they went to the living room to rest. Everleigh and the three siblings of the Meyer family went to rest under the shade of a big tree in the garden. Christopher sighed, “How wonderful would it be if I could live like this every single day.”

“If your company closed down, you can definitely have a good rest,” Felicia mocked him bluntly.

Everleigh couldn’t help but burst out in laughter.

“Christopher, being a loafer for a few days is more than enough. You’ll soon understand how good it feels to work hard and achieve something on your own,” Everleigh tried to save him from embarrassment.

However, he didn’t appreciate it. He snorted, “I am a man with great ambitions. When I’m being a loafer, I want to focus on it, and not think about work.”

His words made Felicia and Ysabelle exchange looks, and then the two sisters rolled their eyes together.

“When you work in the company, you will get to experience the life of a loafer,” Ysabelle added coldly, which made Christopher shut his mouth directly.

Everleigh noticed that there was a hint of panic and worry in his eyes.

Perhaps he was just scared that they would ask him to work in the company.

In the evening, Everleigh finally took the children home. When they left, everyone from the Meyer family stood outside the house to send them off.

“Everleigh, do bring your kids over whenever you have time, alright?” Vanessa was reluctant to let them leave. She wasn’t even that sad when Ysabelle moved abroad.

“Sure.” She nodded. She could feel that they genuinely loved the two kids.

“I’ll bring them back in a few days.” Christopher waved his hand, signaling them to let her leave.

Everleigh looked over and said, “Ysabelle, I’ll send you off tomorrow night.”
