Said I didn't Love Him But I Lied

Everleigh could sense that her father was uncomfortable with Ysabelle's visit, so she didn't force her to stay.

Before Ysabelle left, she asked Everleigh to bring her children back to visit the Meyer family whenever she had time. She nodded. She promised to do so during her free time.

The two sisters then entered the Trevino family's villa. Selena was rather interested in the man called Maverick.

"Everleigh, don't you feel that we've seen Maverick somewhere before?" She asked.

"Yeah, but I can't really remember where," Everleigh replied. In fact, she felt that Maverick looked familiar when Ysabelle mentioned his name, but she didn't talk about it in front of her as she wasn't really sure about it. Selena had the same thought. However, she just couldn't figure out where she had met him before, so she gave up. She'd rather get back home and rest earlier.

The entire industry received the news that Godfrey Group had won the piece of foreign land.

Everyone was familiar with Godfrey Group.

Theodore received the news as well.

Upon seeing the news, he let out a cold snort. Wilson had really emptied Godfrey Group's funding. If they couldn't gain any profit from the land, there was no turning back.

Everleigh didn't go to the hospital. Instead, she looked for Theodore and asked him for his opinion on that matter.

"I no longer have anything to do with Godfrey Group. As long as I can receive my monthly bonus on time, he can do whatever he wants," he responded with ease, as if Godfrey Group meant nothing to him. Seeing that he was so indifferent, she didn't continue asking.

It had nothing to do with her anyway.

In the afternoon, he sent her over to the hospital. When she got out of the car, he suddenly asked, "Did anyone from the Jenkins family show up to the auction?"

"No," Everleigh answered in a firm tone.

She had also thought that she would meet members of the Jenkins family there, but not a single person showed up, and only Annie was there.

Theodore's eyes flickered as he pressed his lips together without saying a word. The mixed emotions in his eyes disappeared gradually.

She knew him very well. From the looks of his expression, she knew what he was thinking about. "Is there something you want to say?" "Nothing. I'll pick you up tonight." In the end, he chose to keep his thoughts to himself.

As she got out of the car, an indescribable feeling welled up in her heart.

She simply knew him too well.

After taking a few steps forward, she turned around all of a sudden, with anger in her eyes. "Theodore, do you know what I hate about you the most? You know everything, but you're not telling me anything. Are you even treating me as your partner?"

He looked at the furious woman standing in front of him silently.

He was just doing it for her own good.

Everleigh turned around and stomped her feet as if she was trying to vent all of her frustration.

Theodore sighed helplessly after seeing her reaction. He only looked away after she walked into the hospital and vanished from his sight.

She was in a bad mood. Some nurses wanted to greet her, but didn't dare to speak. Anyone who saw her could tell that she was angry at that moment.

She walked straight into her office. In fact, Theodore didn't tell her everything as he just didn't want her to suffer too much.

She understood his intentions.

However, why did she have to be a fool who knew nothing?

Everything was clearly related to her, but she knew nothing about it.

As soon as Christopher came in, he noticed her enraged expression, as if she was about to blow up.

"What happened? Did someone trouble you early in the morning?" He walked over and asked.

She glanced at him and didn't respond.

He didn't mind, so he continued, "Wilson is really getting famous this time, but it's such a pity that he will be losing money."

Upon hearing that, Everleigh raised her head and asked, "What do you mean?"

"You saw how Ysabelle placed her bids, right? Didn't you think about it?" He asked as he turned his head over, with a bright smile on his face. He seemed to be waiting for Everleigh to ask him more questions.

She was startled for a moment. Recalling what had happened during the bidding, she suddenly realized something.

"Was... Was Ysabelle deliberately raising the price?"

"Smart. You've figured it out in such a short time." He snapped his fingers and looked at her with praise.

She thought about the scenario carefully. At that time, she had a constant feeling that something was wrong.

Ysabelle seemed to be determined when she was talking to Annie. Everleigh thought that she would put in all her money to win the land.

To her surprise, she only placed a single bid.

Christopher immediately knew what Everleigh was thinking about as she remained silent. She was a smart person, so she could understand something easily.

"Did Ysabelle gain something from that piece of land?" She asked tentatively.

He smiled faintly, "A little bit. Ysabelle knew the price of the land, so she made a deal with the organizers. The purpose of her trip this time wasn't actually to buy the land."

She suddenly understood why Ysabelle could lead a good and luxurious life abroad. It all finally made sense.

With that kind of vision, she was really extraordinary.

"If Ysabelle was living in ancient times, she would definitely be the queen of the largest kingdom," she said.

"Well, she's already a queen right now. Actually, Felicia was the one who was supposed to move abroad. However, Ysabelle knew that she would be upset to live alone in a foreign country, so she decided to go. After all, she's the eldest sister, so it's her responsibility." Although Christopher was a playboy, he was actually sensible and understanding.

It was just that he had never shown it.

Hearing that, Everleigh raised her eyebrows and asked, "Since you know everything, why don't you behave yourself and take charge of the company? Then, your sisters can worry less."

He glared at her and responded unhappily, "It's easier said than done. It's not easy to manage a company well. Any slight mistakes can lead to the company going bankrupt. I know I'm not intelligent enough, so let's just forget about it." She snorted. Christopher was the smartest person she knew.

He was just lazy and irresponsible.

However, his words did remind her of something else. Theodore had mentioned that the Jenkins family didn't show up to the bidding. Logically speaking, the Jenkins family should've known about the piece of land and competed to get it. Could it be that someone from the Jenkins family knew what was going on, so they decided not to participate in it?

At the same time, over at the Jenkins family's home, Annie was sitting on the sofa listlessly. Her father had asked her to acquire the land, but she returned from the auction with empty hands.

When Saniogo walked down the stairs, he saw her sitting on the sofa, feeling exhausted. His eyes sparkled.

"Annie, what's wrong?"

"Mr. Jenkins, I... I've failed my task. I didn't get the land," she replied truthfully. The purpose of her trip was very clear, and it was also obvious that she had failed. There was no point in hiding the truth.

He sat on the other side of the sofa and crossed his legs. He picked up a teacup on the table and took a sip of tea. "Annie, you have to look at the bigger picture." "Huh?" She was rather confused. Was there even a bigger picture?

Getting that piece of land would bring them a fortune.
