Said I didn’t Love Him But I Lied

Everleigh was sitting on one side, waiting for him.

It had been a day, yet Christopher still hadn’t finished his work. She sent a message to Theodore, keeping him abreast of their current situation.

He wasn’t in a hurry; he hinted to let Christopher finish his work first.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

“I am finally done, and I’m exhausted. This is even more tiring than conducting an operation.” Christopher threw the pen aside and leaned against the chair.

“Did Felicia go to look for Lenold?”

“Yes, when I left, she was already at the airport. She even ordered me to come back to the company. I am speechless.” He walked over and looked at her.

He also asked the secretary to serve some food.

“Did she bring her men there?”

“Yes. It’s a dangerous place, and we’re not at ease, but that’s how Felicia is. No one can change her mind.” This was why Christopher hadn’t stopped her. If they had stopped her, they would have made her angry.

She didn’t have much to comment on the teachings of the Meyer family. She admitted that their family was very harmonious, but under the mask of harmony, there was indulgence.

They acquiesced to Felicia’s dangerous decision.

He remained silent for a moment. He was no less worried than others, but compared to his worries, he preferred to give her comfort and support.

The two of them were silent for a long time. It was not until the secretary brought in the food that the silence was broken. “Let’s eat,” they said to each other.

They couldn’t help but burst into laughter as they spoke at the same time.

There was less tension in the atmosphere.

In the meantime, Thaud had collected a lot of information regarding Diana.

He also found out what she was truly up to.

‘Lenold hasn’t been declared dead, but she’s already planning to take away his shares. Diana, you are indeed an ungrateful person.’

He was furious after reading the information.

All the stories she made up about starting a company abroad and making investments were all just an excuse.

She wanted to turn the funds of the Hayes family into her own.

“What a good scheme!” He thought.

She made use of her adoptive parents’ love for her.

Perhaps she had been waiting for such an opportunity for a long time.

Diana had also noticed that Thaud seemed to find out about her schemes. He might seem knowing nothing, but he was more alert than she thought.

Going through the information, she thought and took out her phone to book two plane tickets. She didn’t have much time. If she didn’t leave now, she would have no chance in the future.

She left in the middle of the night without packing her belongings. She knew that it would make the Hayes family suspicious if she started to pack at this time.

She left the Hayes family as if nothing had happened.

When Cecil saw that Diana was about to walk out of the living room, she couldn’t help but ask her, “Where are you going?”

Diana’s heart skipped a beat. She turned her head and acted casual. “A few of my good friends invited me out for a drink. I’m just about to join them.”

Cecil gave her outfit a once-over. She was decked out in a black, body-hugging dress, and her makeup on the heavy side; it was the dress-code to attend a party. However, for her, Diana’s behavior was a provocation.

“Diana, don’t you have any humanity? We don’t have any news about Lenold yet, and his whereabouts are a mystery. How can you still go out and have fun? What are you thinking?” Cecil looked at her with fury written on her face. She wanted to slap her across the face so badly.

Diana looked down, and her eyes were overwhelmed with hatred. She clenched her fists tightly. At that moment, she wanted to kill her. With Cecil gone, she could take her place in the Hayes family.

“Cecil, I wanted to join them in the hope of looking for Lenold. I have no power in this family, and I can’t do anything about it. That’s why I…”

“Diana, do you know that your words disgust me? Our parents love you as equally as they love us, but you always feel that everyone in this world owes you. Don’t you feel a trace of guilt in your heart?” Cecil’s gentle voice was like a demon’s calling circling in Diana’s ears.

Cecil snorted and turned to go back to her room.

Diana was a heartless person. When Lenold returned, she would be able to fetch a fortune.

However, Cecil didn’t expect that her actions for that night would worsen Diana’s means.

Diana’s feeling was indescribable, but she didn’t have time to think about it. If she didn’t leave then, she wouldn’t have a chance in the future.

The night passed. Thaud had stayed up the whole night to sort out all his information. Jaseh and his wife came downstairs for a meal, and saw him and Cecil seated in the living room, their faces brooding.

“Why did you two get up so early?”

“I have something to tell you guys. Come over here.” Thaud directly placed his sorted-out documents on the table.

Both Jaseh and Winifred were puzzled. They walked over and sat down, asking, “What’s going on here?”

“Dad, Mom, I have a gift for you. This gift is for Dad.” Thaud handed the documents to him.

Jaseh did not understand what was going on. He took a look at the documents and his eyes widened. “How… How is this possible?”

“Why is it impossible? Don’t you see it now? I don’t understand why you would adopt Diana when you already have children of your own,” Thaud stated.

Upon hearing his question, Jaseh calmed his mind.

“You knew about it?”

“Yes, I found out last night. Dad, why did you do this?” Thaud questioned him clearly, word by word.

Diana’s identity was not as innocent as she looked. She was the daughter of their father’s comrade-in-arms. When the mission had gone wrong, Diana was left to become an orphan.

Jaseh had brought her back to his house, but he didn’t expect her to turn out to be an ungrateful person.

Winifred sat on the sofa, her expressions stern. She didn’t know how to begin to describe Diana’s actions.

“Mom, if it wasn’t for Thaud’s investigation today, would you just condone her insolence?” Cecil asked coldly.

From past incidents, she wanted to solve her problem once and for all, but Diana had utterly disappointed her.

“Let’s not talk about the past, but Diana is a decent child…”

“Decent, my foot. She gained Lenold’s shares, attempted to steal Cecil’s boyfriend, and even wanted to take away everything of the Hayes family. Is this considered the behavior of a good child? Oh, are we supposed to be martyred so that she can rule the world?” Thaud laughed with anger. He hinted at his parents for being ignorant.

Hearing what he had said, Jaseh frowned. “What are you talking about? You’re just investigating Diana’s identity, aren’t you?”

Cecil was speechless. She chucked the documents at them. “Read closely on all the acts Diana has done.”

Jaseh picked up and took a look. He saw that Diana’s company aimed to do money laundering from the Hayes family. The most crucial part was that she was the one who had spread the news about Lenold’s mission.

All of the documents had proved that she was the traitor.

“This…” Jaseh widened his eyes, incredulous at what he had just read.

“Now you know about it, huh? My good father,” Thaud said in a cold voice, sarcasm passing into Jaseh’s ears.
