Said I didn't Love Him But I Lied

Alexander did not understand. Her identity was very special. It would not be a problem if she came over. "Everleigh, you don't have to be so careful. The Jenkins family isn't like how it used to be anymore," he said in a low voice. They had power now.

She knew that he had misunderstood, so she quickly explained, "That's not what I meant. It's mainly because it would be hard to explain to my father. He doesn't know what's going on with me. If he suddenly makes a fuss, it won't be good..." "My father has invited him to the banquet. He has loved you very much for so many years, and we believe that you've been taken good care of." His voice was soft, but his tone was full of gratitude.

Thinking back to the night before, Everleigh felt grateful as well. She was very fortunate to have such a considerate father.

"Then did you send the message to the Godfrey family?"

"Of course. It's time for those people to grow a pair of eyes and see how blind they've been." Talking about the Godfrey family filled him with indignation.

Those bunch of scums.

They were part of the Four Greatest Households; how could they play so dirty?

She heard his angry tone and could not help but laugh, "You don't have to be angry. I'm fine now, but I'll explain it all to my father in the evening, and then I'll make a decision."

"Alright, he treats you well after all." Alexander did not press on. The Trevino family had a good approach towards education, and they had undoubtedly taught her well, cultivating in her a sense of justice, and the knowledge to repay evil with good.

Everleigh did not know what was going on in his mind. She was simply thinking about how she should explain things to her father.

"I'm going to go check on the patients. I'll talk to you when I'm free."

"Okay, but I hope you can come over tomorrow night. I'd like to introduce you to the rest of the Jenkins family."

She gave a soft reply before hanging up the phone.

Thus far, she had only met Alexander, Saniogo and his wife. She had not met anyone else in the Jenkins family.

The situation made her mood turn slightly gloomy.

She did not know how her father would react once he knew about it.

She dared not imagine the scene, and she did not want to sadden him.

The day passed by very quickly. Christopher called her, but he said very little before he ended the call.

Cecil came to see her when she got off work.

"Everleigh."

"Cecil, why are you here?" Everleigh was about to hand over her shift and was a little surprised to see her.

Cecil walked to her and sighed softly. "My brother has been discharged from the hospital, and Diana always wants to be the one in charge, so since I was free, I came to see you. By the way, Alexander just called me. Are you going to the banquet that's happening in three days?"

"They want me to be there, but now I'm... a little skeptical." Everleigh also let out a sigh.

Cecil understood her concern. It would be fine if Everleigh did not know, but now that she knew, how could she let Mr. Trevino down?

"Everleigh, it's normal for you to be conflicted. The Jenkins family has always been the most mysterious of the Four Greatest Households. They have a solid foundation in Ocpeace City and their roots go deep. How could they not be slick?" Cecil's gaze darkened slightly, and her emotions intensified.

Everleigh felt that something was wrong when she heard that. "Do you know the Jenkins family very well?"

"I don't, but think about it. The Hayes family can be considered kind of harmonious, with only a few greedy pricks here and there. If my elder brother and younger brother weren't so capable, how could I lead such a leisurely life? Everleigh, humanity becomes worthless when faced with profit and wealth. People will do anything for materialistic desires."

Everleigh almost laughed when she heard her friend speaking so philosophically.

Even though everything was clear, things were turning out differently from what she was doing.

"Let's talk about this later."

"Alright then. After all, it's still a few days away. Sometimes I wonder, if they found out the truth about you, do you think they'll be so surprised that their eyes will pop right out of their sockets?" Cecil covered her mouth and said curiously, the playfulness evident in her eyes.

Everleigh was speechless. In the end, Cecil still hoped that she could attend the Jenkins family's banquet.

"I don't want to talk about it anymore. Let's go grab a bite. It's my treat."

"Let's eat barbecue. I saw someone eating it the other day and I've been craving it since then." Cecil had already planned to have a barbecue, but there was no point in eating it alone. Everleigh had been so busy, and Diana did not want to go with her.

Hence, she could only endure the craving.

The two of them sat at a table outside. They ordered a bottle of beer each, preparing to roast some skewers.

"Ah... See, it's better to be an ordinary person," Cecil said poignantly. She then poured herself a glass and downed it in one gulp.

Everleigh did not think that way. "That's not necessarily true. I used to have an ordinary life. During that period of time, I was suffering so much, constantly worrying about money."

Cecil stared at her with disdain and said, "And you dare to say that now? If you were so poor, why didn't you tell me?"

"I may have been poor, but I had my own principles, and there are lines I can't cross. Besides, if I borrowed money from you, I'd have to return it, wouldn't I?" She had her own considerations. Perhaps millions of dollars was not important to them, but it meant a lot to her.

Cecil knew her temper, so she refrained from saying anything more.

After they had had enough to eat and drink, they went back. Cecil called for the driver to come pick them up.

When Everleigh got out of the car, Cecil suddenly looked at her seriously and said, "Everleigh, let's attend the banquet. I'll be there to take care of you."

"Yes, I know." Everleigh rarely saw her I like that, and she knew that it was also a very important turning point for her.

The corners of Cecil's mouth twitched. Her eyes showed that she had much to say, but she did not know how to voice them.

In her heart, Everleigh knew very well what she wanted to say. After so many years of being friends, she was not so stupid that she did not have a clue about her thoughts.

Upon entering the gate of the Trevino family's home, the courage that she had mustered up became scattered.

She kept her mouth shut the entire time, not wanting to upset her father. However, she had forgotten that whatever was meant to be would always come back to reveal itself. Nothing in the world could be kept secret for an eternity.

Everleigh walked in with a heavy heart. Abraham was sitting on the sofa chatting with Alastair and Adrienne, a faint smile on his face.

"Mommy, you're back. Grandpa said that he would take me fishing tomorrow," Adrienne said excitedly.

Everleigh smiled and said, "Dad, why are you suddenly in the mood for fishing?"

"There's not much happening in the company recently. I've been spending a lot of time at home and at the office, and I've missed out on a lot. Now that I have these two children by my side, I want to do something relaxing." Abraham pondered carefully. He did not even know how long it had been since he last went out to have fun.

He would just consider it as lazing around a little.

Everleigh bent down and smiled, "Since Grandpa has already said so, you two should go and have an early rest. If you want to eat something, just let Hilda know."

"Okay." Adrienne took Alastair to find Hilda.

In fact, Alastair knew that Everleigh was deliberately trying to get them out of the way.

Abraham was a discerning person as well. "Do you have something to tell me?"
