Said I didn't Love Him But I Lied

Everleigh knew that Yvonne didn't have the time to manage the company as she was busy taking care of Hansen for the past few days. Now that Theodore wasn't around, it was convenient for anyone to cause trouble.

"Then I'll call her. Something happened to you. There's no reason for her not to know." She decided as she took out her mobile phone, ready to make a call.

Loraine interrupted her actions and pleaded with red eyes, "Aunt Everleigh, can you not make the call first? I want to stay here a little longer. I don't want to go home."

"Okay then. I'll bandage it for you and bring you to my office. Your presence here will affect other people," Everleigh did not refuse and said softly.

Loraine nodded her head in agreement.

They returned to the office. Everleigh pushed Loraine's wheelchair and poured her a glass of water. "Aunt Everleigh, it's quiet here."

"It's lunch break now, and the others haven't come back yet." She didn't feel that it was peaceful.

However, Loraine was not as arrogant as before. In the past, she hated the smell of disinfectant the most.

"Loraine, do you have something on your mind? If you don't mind, you can tell me." Everleigh had studied psychology abroad, so she knew how to approach sensitive topics.

"Aunt Everleigh, do you know what I'm doing everyday?" Loraine asked in a low, muffled voice. Her red eyes were filled with tears.

Everleigh's eyes drooped slightly. After all, Loraine was still a child, unaware of how manipulative people could get.

"I heard that you are now Godfrey Group's vice president. You are very awe-inspiring and give orders to so many employees. Don't you like being a hero? Haven't you achieved it now?" Everleigh answered, trying to lighten Loraine's mood. She smiled bitterly and replied, "That was all in the past. I could have gone to school, but my mother brought me to the company to be a vice president. To put it nicely, I am the vice president, but in reality, I'm more like a puppet." Although she was young, it didn't mean that Loraine couldn't see through the situation in front of her. If it wasn't for the fact that Hansen was too young, it wouldn't have been her turn.

"Of course not. You are a chivalrous girl. You do things in an upright and straightforward way. In the future, you will definitely achieve something great," Everleigh assured her.

"Really? I could inherit the Godfrey Group?" Loraine questioned.

Everleigh was at a loss for words. It didn't seem likely. After all, Godfrey Group was a family-owned business. Even if it didn't fall into Theodore's hands, it wouldn't fall into Loraine's hands.

Loraine noticed that she did not speak, and smiled bitterly as she added, "I'm just kidding. I also know the importance of Godfrey Group. I will be married into another family in the future. Why would she give it to me?" "Loraine," Everleigh murmured gently.

"I know that it is very unreasonable for my mother to take control of Godfrey Group in this way, but she can't do anything about it!" Loraine had a blank look in her eyes, as if she was out of control, saying everything out loud. Everleigh stood beside her, rubbed her head, and comforted her, "I shouldn't have asked about your family affairs. Loraine, why did Yvonne suddenly ask you to do this?"

"Because of my father. A year ago, my father's attitude towards Hansen had changed. He was usually strict but kind toward him, but now, he's treating him coldly." Loraine felt great pain in her heart when she spoke of this. She couldn't believe that the usually gentle-natured Wilson would actually yell at Hansen.

Each time, Hansen would be so scared that his whole body would tremble. Loraine couldn't help but feel sorry for him.

Everleigh turned her eyes and asked, "How did it become like this? Did something happen?"

"I heard by accident that my mother mentioned that it had something to do with Xavier, but I don't know the details." Nevertheless, Loraine was still a child, and she wouldn't understand the meaning behind the adults' conversations. Everleigh was very puzzled. Didn't Xavier find out about it recently? Did he start having doubts a year ago?

Thinking of this, she realized something and quickly asked, "Where is your driver?"

"He... didn't follow me. I drove out alone and even bumped into a car. Now, my secretary is handling it!" Loraine's voice became softer, and finally, she lowered her head and said nothing.

She did not have a driving license, but she used to learn to drive with her friends. This time, she came out because she could not stand the company's affairs.

She didn't expect to end up here.

"When did you get the car?" Everleigh asked.

"It's my father's," Loraine admitted.

Everleigh was shocked and realized that something was wrong.

"Then, is your father at the company?" She continued asking.

"No, he never goes to Godfrey Group. I don't know who drove the car there, and then I drove it." Loraine did not realize the seriousness of the problem and thought that it was a coincidence that caused this.

Everleigh listened to her words, and an idea flashed through her mind; Wilson went to Godfrey Group, and Xavier tracked the car. Thus, the accident happened. The whole process was an explanation. Xavier wanted to kill his own father. Thinking of this, she shivered all over. What kind of family would have such parents and children?

Loraine saw her standing still, so she asked in confusion, "Aunt Everleigh, what are you thinking about?"

"Nothing... I'm thinking, where is the person who wants to hit you?"

"He ran away," Loraine shouted angrily. He was really not a human being. She was just a little girl, but she didn't run away. Why did he?

These two words even further affirmed Everleigh's guess. Christopher's plan seemed to be effective.

Loraine spent the whole afternoon chatting with her, and Everleigh even brought her for dinner. Even though she had to be on duty at night, she still had time to spare for dinner.

"Wow, the food here is really delicious. I haven't eaten food like this for a long time." Loraine ate without a care for her image.

Everleigh thought of Adrienne when she saw this. She was also a messy glutton, and she also couldn't care less about her image when she was eating.

"Didn't Yvonne give you any food?" Everleigh couldn't help but ask.

"She used to, but now that I'm a vice president, I have to take extra care of my appearance. It's tiring to be extra attentive to these details. Aunt Everleigh, can I come to you at any time in the future?" Loraine thought of something, and her eyes were shining, which made people reluctant to refuse her request.

Everleigh laughed. "Of course. You can also bring Hansen along. Call me before you come, and I'll bring Alastair and Adrienne with me." As she spoke, she gave her own business card to Loraine.

Loraine agreed, but she did not take the name card. Instead, she immediately saved the number on her phone.

As soon as she put down her cell phone, Yvonne suddenly rushed in with some people and overlooked Everleigh. She was so nervous that she asked while holding Loraine's hand, "Did you hurt yourself? What happened to you? Why were you driving a car?" Yvonne could not help complaining as soon as she entered the door, but the heartache in her eyes was obvious.

Everleigh could see that she loved her two children. It was just that Hansen was weak and sickly, so she had to pay more attention to him.

"Mom, look who's here." Loraine did not want to listen to her mother's long-winded words, so she hurriedly pushed Everleigh out. "Yvonne," Everleigh politely greeted.

"Everleigh? Why are you..." Yvonne was also shocked. She was too anxious just now, so she did not notice who was next to her. Everleigh smiled without saying a word.

"Mom, Aunt Everleigh bandaged up the wound for me. She even took me out for dinner," Loraine explained.

Yvonne chuckled. "Thank you."
