Chapter 466 The Last Supper Theodore frowned. It was obvious that there was a hidden meaning behind her words. "Did you find out something?" "The hospital gavea call at noon, saying that the investigation team has confirmed that it had nothing to do with me. Now, they have officially sued the woman for defamation. Tell me, she was still crying so badly in front of the camera this morning, and now they have confirmed that I'm innocent. Isn't it embarrassing for her?" Everleigh explained.
Hearing that she was happy, his heart was finally at ease.
"What are you planning to do next? Do you want to have dinner tonight?" He wanted to know her plans and strategies.
She chuckled, "Did you think that I would be sad?" "I'm just worried that you will overeat because you're too happy, and get gastric pain again," he teased her. Her smile grew even wider. He rarely made such jokes in the past, but now he had really changed a lot. He actually knew how to make her happy.
"Don't worry. I have a big appetite today, so I can eat as much as I want." Theodore knew her well; he could tell that she was genuinely joyful.
He then said nothing else.
Everleigh wore a long white dress that day. She looked elegant and graceful. Her eyes were even more mesmerizing.
In the living room of the Jenkins family home, Luqman, Yeezoo, and their families were all sitting on the sofa. They were rather curious as to why Alexander would suddenly treat them to dinner. "Saniogo, is there something wrong with Alexander? Why did he suddenly invite us all for dinner?" "It's his idea, I don't know what is going on too," he replied; he didn't understand either.
However, Cynthia didn't care about it. She had seen the news that day, and it made her really satisfied.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe would never believe that Everleigh could still work at the city hospital after the whole incident.
On the other hand, Linggon put down his teacup and said, "I heard that something bad has happened to Yasmine. It's about smisdiagnosis that has led to a big fuss." "I've received the news too. It seems she has been suspended from her duties at the hospital," Fenna chimed in. Despite saying so, they weren't concerned about it at all.
It sounded just like a casual chit-chat.
Saniogo's brows furrowed. "When did this happen? How cI didn't know about it?" "Master, you've been in the study room for the whole day, so it's normal for you to not receive this news," the butler reminded him.
Saniogo looked back at him; his eyes were full of worry.
Cynthia, on the other hand, said coldly, "Well, I guess karma is real. Maybe it's her arrogance that let her down this time." "You shut up," Saniogo chided.
She crossed her arms and didn't say anything else. She thought she was just saying the truth, and that there wasn't anything wrong with it.
Shortly after, Alexander and Everleigh cin together. She had put on slight makeup, which made her look very lively.
She didn't look like a person in trouble at all.
Seeing her walking over, Saniogo asked hurriedly, "Everleigh, what's the matter? Why are you accused of misdiagnosis?" "I'll explain it to you later. Uncle, can we have dinner yet? I'm starving." She didn't want to talk about it just yet; she wanted to save the best for the last.
She didn't seem to be bothered by it, so he didn't ask anymore questions.
Since Alexander invited the whole family over for dinner, he had certainly prepared a plethora of dishes. When Cynthia saw that there was exotic food like frog legs and foie gras, her appetite dropped instantly. "Alexander, if you're treating us to dinner, at least buy food that's edible and appetizing." "This dinner isn't prepared specially for you, so why are you making demands right here?" Everleigh retorted coldly.
As soon as she finished speaking, everyone at the dinner table looked at each other. They didn't understand why she was speaking so harshly.
Melissa was displeased with her words. "What do you mean by that?" "Aunt Melissa, I think that my words are still considered polite. Do you know why we are all gathered here today?" Everleigh asked indifferently. She wasn't planning to show any respect to the elders there. Cynthia's bad attitude and personality were mainly caused by her parents.
After all, she was just a chip off the old block.
Especially individuals as wicked and as evil as Cynthia, her parents were certainly to be blamed.
Since she wanted to pick out the mistakes, it was necessary to get to the root of the problem.
"What kind of attitude is this? No matter how much you hate her, she is still your aunt!" Yeezoo added.
"Oh... My aunt? Have you ever respected me? How much do you know about your dear daughter's good deeds? Has she ever treatedas her cousin?" While speople there were starting to get angry, Everleigh didn't get furious. Instead, she remained cold and indifferent.
Saniogo believed that Everleigh wasn't an unreasonable person. Why did she act like that all of a sudden? He was dumbfounded.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAlexander, however, looked at Cynthia with his cold eyes. When the news appeared on TV that morning, he investigated it to see if there was anything he could do to help. Unexpectedly, he found out that the culprit behind the incident was Cynthia.
He finally understood why Everleigh had asked him such a question the night before. Speople in the Jenkins family really deserved to be punished.
When Cynthia heard Everleigh's questions, she was guilt-ridden. "I've always treated you as my cousin, haven't |?" "Are you sure about that? From the first day I showed up here, you have hated me. Even when I brought my children here, you showed them the slevel of hatred. Cynthia, do you think I'm blind?" Cynthia lowered her head in guilt and looked at her aggrievedly.
Yeezoo could no longer stand it anymore. He slammed the table angrily and stared at Everleigh while shouting, "Are you trying to start a fight here?"
"A fight? Sure. I'm exactly here today to settle the score with the few of you. I'd really like to know what have done ever since I returned to the e Jenkins family for all of you to treatwithout any respect or dignity." Everleigh was basically fearless. She had finally figured out that if she didn't show her strengths, people would treat her as a weakling. Since everyone was looking down on her, there was no need for her to be polite anymore.
She was ready to go head-to-head with them.
"You rebellious girl! You've only been back for a few days, yet you're already yelling at us Melissa was infuriated. She then turned her head to look at Saniogo. "Saniogo, you are a fair-minded man. Do something about this!" Before he could open his mouth, Everleigh interrupted, "Don't drag Uncle Saniogo into this. I definitely have my own reasons to confront you guys in person. No one can help you right now." "You..." Melissa was so enraged that she almost slapped Everleigh.
On the other hand, Luqman and his family were sitting there quietly, enjoying the show. It was really none of their business.
After a few minutes of heated argument, Alexander finally spoke, "This time, Everleigh's incident was set up by Cynthia." Everyone was immediately stunned by his words. They all looked at him in disbelief.
"What did you just say? Are you trying to cause trouble with Everleigh too?" Everleigh then took out a file from her bag and threw it on the table in front of Cynthia.
"Take a look at this. Let's see if I'm accusing you or not." Yeezoo snatched the file over to look at it, and his eyes widened in shock. He couldn't believe that his own daughter had done such a malicious thing.
Everleigh snorted, "Cynthia, before you played this childish trick of yours, didn't you bother to do any sort of investigation or proper preparation? If don't show everyone the evidence, I'll be really sorry for myself." Her mocking words were as sharp as knives, cutting through her self esteem piece by piece. Cynthia lowered her head, revealing the anger and shin her eyes.
