Said I didn’t Love Him But I Lied

Everleigh left the café and thought that the meeting was completely meaningless. Wilson was the one who sent someone to try and kill Xavier, so he obviously knew everything about him.

How could he not know about his current condition?

She then went back to the hospital. Christopher was relieved to see her safe and sound.

“You’re finally back. I was so close to calling the police.”

She was speechless. “Stop exaggerating.”

“How am I exaggerating? He harmed his own son. What else wouldn’t he dare to do?” He responded seriously.

Wilson was basically a wanted fugitive.

He was considered one of the most dangerous people around.

After Everleigh told him everything that had happened during the meeting, Christopher frowned and said, “Is he trying to let us know that he’s alive, or is he trying to prove that he is still a little humane?”

She shook her head. “I don’t know either. We should keep a close eye on him for the time being.”

“I’m already watching him, and Theodore has sent his men to spy on him too. Speaking of which, we should really think properly about our next move.”

That was his main concern.

She had no idea either, so they could only improvise and overcome the problems one step at a time.

“By the way, how’s the progress of your investigation?” She asked.

“Forget about it. Some mysterious person has taken Derick away, and there’s no news on Mr. White as well. These people must’ve planned everything out, so we can’t find any clues,” he explained, exasperated. After a long time, there was still no progress at all.

It was the first time something like that had happened to him.

Despite this, Everleigh wasn’t worried anymore. Being anxious couldn’t bring them any clues.

She could only let nature take its course.

Theodore went to look for her in the evening. The two of them had dinner in the office. The atmosphere was rather depressing, and none of them spoke.

After they finished eating, he finally asked her, “Why aren’t you talking?”

“What about you? Why aren’t you talking?” She asked him back.

His mind was occupied with different problems, so there was nothing much he could talk about.

“Can you send me back later? I’m a little tired today.” Everleigh decided not to tell him about her meeting with Wilson that morning.

He didn’t say anything important anyways, and Theodore looked exhausted.

In the car, she connected her phone to the stereo and played some music to relax her mind.

“I thought you didn’t like this kind of music?” Theodore asked. Rock music didn’t suit her temperament at all.

She laughed and said, “It’s Selena. She said it’s best to listen to rock music when one is feeling upset. The fast beat can make us feel better.

He listened carefully, and it wasn’t bad at all. The anger and worry in his heart could be vented out.

Music like that was actually useful to him.

The two of them arrived at the Trevino family’s home. Everleigh talked to Theodore for a while, then went in to rest.

Little did they know, they would receive shocking news the next day.

Theodore and Everleigh arrived at the company, and they saw Madison before they even entered the office.

His eyes opened wide as he stared at her in shock.

She was startled as well. Madison was supposed to be in jail. She didn’t know why she showed up at the company.

Madison caught sight of their expressions and sneered, “You’re surprised to see me, aren’t you?”

“How did you get out?” Theodore asked in a deep voice.

If she escaped from prison, he would definitely send her back.

Madison’s eyes sparkled, and her pale yellow skin was covered with wrinkles. She snorted and responded, “Don’t be so alarmed. I was released from prison. I came out legally.”

Everleigh and Theodore were shocked to the core.

Released from prison?

It hadn’t even been a year; why was she released from prison so soon?”

Madison didn’t care about their expressions, but sized up the office instead. “You’re enjoying life, aren’t you? You’re still doing well even though you’ve left Godfrey Group. It seems like I’ve really underestimated you before this.”

Theodore didn’t want to argue with her. He looked at Everleigh and said, “Go over to the research lab and come back at noon.”

“Alright.” She understood that he didn’t want her to stay there, as he had a lot of things to talk to Madison about.Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Madison looked at Everleigh as she left, and her eyes turned cold. “I can’t believe she actually gave up her career as a doctor to help you with your research.”

Theodore didn’t respond. Instead, he walked straight into his office. Madison seemed a little out of place when she entered the office, especially because of the simple and inelegant clothes on her body.

“How’s Xavier doing right now?”

She sat on the sofa, picked up a glass of water on the table and took a sip.

His eyes flashed as he answered solemnly, “Xavier is in the ICU. He has myocardial infarction, and is likely to die any time. You say you care about him, but you don’t even know about this.”

Her hand that was holding the glass trembled. She was surprised to hear the news.

However…

“It’s his fate.”

“Is it? Then why did you sacrifice me for him? Do you really think I know nothing?” He didn’t try to hide it, and exposed her directly.

In the past, he wouldn’t have said it, but he no longer cared anymore.

He had been hurt by his parents too many times.

Madison became angry in an instant and slammed the glass on the coffee table. She narrowed her eyes and spoke furiously, “Is this how you should talk to your mother?”

“How should I talk to you then? Are you angry because I’ve exposed you? Too bad, your anger can’t change anything. Godfrey Group is no longer under my control. If you want to seek power, go look for Wilson,” Theodore responded coldly. He knew exactly what was in her mind the second he saw her there.

She obviously wanted to have control over his current company.

Unfortunately, the company had nothing to do with Godfrey Group.

No one could step in and take over it.

She stood up angrily. “You… I’m your mother. How dare you treat me like this?”

“Isn’t it normal for me to treat you like this? At least I still care about you, if not, you would have to live on the streets. I’ve said it before. You’re nothing but my biological mother. Do you really think I have any feelings left for you?” His face was indifferent, and his dark pupils were filled with coldness.

He had given up on his mother.

Besides acknowledging the fact that she had raised him, he had no other feelings for her.

He would never understand the love that other mothers had for their own children, but it was clear that his own mother hated him.

Madison was so enraged that her body trembled. “You… You ungrateful b*stard! I should’ve just killed myself in jail!”

“Why would you die in jail? You love your life more than anything, and you enjoy glory and wealth so much.”

Her face turned red out of anger, and she couldn’t say a single word.

Despite this, he couldn’t care less.

He took out his phone and called Moses. “Come in and send Madam Madison to the Lon Bay Villa.”

“You rebellious son, you’ll never get away with this so easily,” she snorted. Then, she got up and left.

He lowered his head, and a sorrowful bitterness spread through his entire body. What was sadness? He could no longer feel it anymore.

It turned out that he had already been used to a lot of things, including being set up and harmed by his own family.
