Chapter 96 Things Will Eventually CTo Light The screen was not bright, but the moment Everleigh saw "Godfrey Group", she still felt that her eyes were stung, like two needles piercing into her eyes. She was almost going to break down.
"It's really Godfrey Group." Her fists trembled on the table.
"You suspect that it's Theodore's mother?" "Besides her, is there anyone else from the Godfrey family who bears a grudge against me? She's the only one who has the motive." Christopher's gaze landed on her hands. He was also stern with his eyebrows knitted, "If I recall correctly, you toldbefore that Theodore's mother looked for you in private at that time. It was because his brother had a car accident." "Yes," she frowned, "He has a brother five years younger than him. If everything went well, he would be the heir of Godfrey Group. He told... Theodore Godfrey had toldthis." When it cto "Theodore", Everleigh called him by his full name, changing her words deliberately and awkwardly.
Christopher looked at her thoughtfully, "He's five years younger than Theodore and was still a child at that time. How can you be so sure that he would be the heir of the Godfrey family?" Seven years ago, Theodore was only 21 years old. His brother, Xavier, was only 16 years old, a teenager.
"Theodore toldthat his brother was extraordinary since young. He showed great talent in management at twelve years old. Mrs. Godfrey had always raised him as the heir." "Would such a young child really be interested in running a company?" "I don't know about that. I don't know much about the Godfrey family." He pondered, "When I was young at home, I did hear my parents talking about the Godfrey family. After all, the two families have sbusiness connections." The Meyer family and the Godfrey family were both included in the Four Great Households of Ocpeace City. It was normal for them to interact with each other.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"What did you hear?" "When Wilson Godfrey divorced Mrs. Godfrey, who was Madison Allen, Madam Scott was very dissatisfied. She withdrew most of her shares and worked with the shareholders of Godfrey Group to drive Wilson out of the company." It was well-known that Theodore's grandmother, Helen Scott, was the true owner of Godfrey Group. Back then, Everleigh had heard about her from Theodore. He had never been close to his parents since young, and he was only close to Helen Scott.
Her heart dropped, "Do you think that my incident has something to do with Madam Scott?" "No," Christopher denied, "I mean, after Theodore's parents had divorced, Madison stayed in the Godfrey family as Mrs. Godfrey." "After all, she gave birth to two sons of the Godfrey surname." "Yes, that's what I meant. All the shares that Madam Scott took back from Wilson are still in her hands. She has the absolute power to decide what she would do with them." "What exactly are you trying to say?" Everleigh did not understand business management. She could not grasp the complications of the issue.
Christopher said, "There aren't many true feelings when it comes to political marriage. What's more, for so many years, Madison has always regarded herself as Mrs. Godfrey. It's clear that she just wants Godfrey Group. She's not from the Godfrey family, so she'll have nothing after the divorce. She can only rely on her two sons. Do you understand what I mean?" Everleigh would be a fool if she did not understand by now.
"That's why when Xavier got into a car accident, Mrs. Godfrey felt that she couldn't count on this son anymore. That's why she placed all her hopes on Theodore." In the end, they finally returned to the real reason why Mrs. Godfrey went to look for Everleigh at her school. After a moment of silence, Christopher said, "This is just my speculation." After all, to do such a thing to her son's girlfriend in order to make him return home, was not something that an ordinary person could do. It was just too extreme.
However, Everleigh was sure that it was Mrs. Godfrey. Judging from the current evidence, it was highly possible that she was the one behind the incident.
"This is ridiculous." She felt that it was ironic.
Her suffering in the past seven years were all from Theodore. Since this was the case, why should she feel guilty? The ones who should feel guilty and repent were the entire Godfrey family.
Christopher poured a cup of tea and pushed it over to her, "Calm down. Although the car is under the nof Godfrey Group, you still can't be sure who used the car that year. I'll ask Sheldon to check as soon as possible." Everleigh nodded and held the cup; her head was down and she didn't say a word. Under the dim light, her beautiful face looked desolate. He could not help but furrow his eyebrows as he looked at her.
"No matter what, things will eventually cto light. Don't be afraid." "Yeah, I'm not afraid." "My mother invited the Godfrey family for her birthday party at the end of the month. Mrs. Godfrey will probably come. I'll meet her and see what kind of person she is for you." Hearing this, her gaze hardened a little and she said, "No, I'll go with you." Christopher had already told her about Vanessa's birthday, but she previously refused. She could pretend to be Christopher's wife in front of the Meyer family, but if she had to face the high society in Ocpeace City as Madam Everleigh of the Meyer family, things would get big and she could not handle it.
Her plan was to say that she was busy in the hospital and had no time. It was enough to prepare a birthday gift for Vanessa in private and send it to her.
She thought about it again. She had been hiding in fear for seven years. If she continued to act like this, perhaps she would never be able to find out the truth until she died. The Meyer family could help her a lot.
"Okay, then I'll make preparations," Christopher answered nonchalantly, seeming as if he had expected her change of mind.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe rarely refused Everleigh's requests, even though she rarely made any requests to him anyway.
It was very difficult to meet such a friend who would treat her like a family member. Cher wasn family to Everleigh Whether it was his care towards her in the past seven years, or to accompany her in facing the upcoming storm without hesitation, she had nothing to repay him. "Christopher, thank you so much."
"Oh, are you touched?" Christopher immediately switched to his usual, playful demeanor, "You suddenly feel that you have no way to repay me? Do you decide to give yourself to me?" "Keep dreaming." The rims of her eyes were still red, but she retorted instantly while rolling her eyes.
"We're already married, so what are you going to do? Divorce?" "Shut up!" She picked up the pillow behind her and threw it at him, but it was easily blocked. He was grinning cheekily.
"Alright, that's enough. I've been analyzing the situation for ages that I'm about to starve to death. Have you ordered anything? Hurry up, it's your treat today!" Everleigh was not having any of this. She said, "I'm so poor and you still askto treat you? Christopher, be a decent person, would you!" "You think you're as poor as me? My wallet is cleaner than my face." "Con, hasn't the research funds been issued? It's 50 thousand dollars!" "I bought a bag for my ex-girlfriend yesterday." "You really won't change!"
Having known Christopher for seven years, Everleigh knew him very well. m He did not like to be sentimental and emotional. He was always unreliable with his words, and he could not even accept a word of thanks properly.
