Said I didn't Love Him But I Lied

Alexander's eyes turned cold, and he said unhappily, "Cynthia, watch your words."

"Alexander, I always speak like this. It's not like you don't know that." She pouted, as if she was displeased with him.

He wanted to say something more, but was stopped by Everleigh. She wanted to see what other tricks they had up their sleeves. He gave her a faint look, not understanding what she meant.

"Forget it, Cynthia. Now that Yasmine is back, who do you think you are?" Melissa said rudely, clearly annoyed by her return.

Luqman's family, on the other hand, said nothing.

Everleigh looked up and glanced at him and the other two members of his family. It was said that barking dogs never bite, and she felt that that was the case with them.

She could see that the three of them were so steady because they knew that Yeezoo and his family would say what they wanted to say.

It was natural to leave the offensive acts for others to do. It would be better to just sit back and enjoy the fruits of their labor.

"Uncle, since there are people here who don't welcome me, I'll go." Everleigh looked coldly at the three members of Yeezoo's family. When Saniogo heard that, he panicked a little. "Everleigh,"

"Uncle, now that I know that you've acknowledged me as a member of your family, I'm happy. However, since some people are against it, I can't say anything. After all, I did not grow up with your family. I've always heard that the Jenkins family has high status and great power, but I didn't expect them to be so crude."

Yeezoo knew that she was talking about them, and he yelled angrily, "Who are you calling crude?"

"Why are you so agitated? Did I say any names?" She looked at him innocently.

Cynthia, too, played innocent and pretended not to know anything.

Everleigh decided that she would teach them that pretending to be innocent required skills.

"You..."

"Uncle Yeezoo, don't get too emotional. I'm a person who says what's on my mind, and I'll always repay the kindness of others. However, if anyone dares to offend me, I'll be sure to pay it back tenfold." Everleigh narrowed her eyes slightly. Her last sentence was firm, without the slightest hint of courtesy.

When Linggon heard that, his eyes sparked with interest. Everyone knew that Yeezoo and his family were not the most polite people, but at that moment, they were stunned into silence by Everleigh.

It was the first time he had seen such a scene.

Saniogo and Alexander exchanged looks. They felt that Everleigh was a little different that day.

"What right do you have to say such nonsense here? You don't even know if you're really a Jenkins," Melissa ridiculed.

Everleigh sneered, then turned to look at Saniogo and said, "Uncle, didn't you show them the paternity test?"

He threw them a cold glance. "How could I be wrong about you? Since they don't want to admit it, then they don't have to. The Jenkins family won't acknowledge them either."

His face was stiff, and his eyes were obviously filled with rage.

Yeezoo and his family were trembling internally, and none of them dared to speak.

Everleigh was a little embarrassed. Saniogo's status in the Jenkins family was so high that one simple sentence could break their determination.

"If I say that she's a Jenkins, then she is. If any of you dare to question or trouble Everleigh, don't blame me for being unkind. Welment and his wife died in vain. How could you let their daughter wander around outside?" Saniogo said angrily, clearly irritated with their behavior.

He had reminded them before Everleigh arrived, and yet Yeezoo was being so insensible.

"Don't worry, Saniogo, we know what to do. Since Everleigh has returned, I'll treat her as my daughter. I won't let anyone bully her." Yeezoo, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly said something that was supposed to 'move' them. For a moment, Everleigh almost burst out laughing.

She instantly realized that the Godfrey family were really good people. Although Wilson was a vile person, compared to them, he was much more forthright than they were.

At least he was not melodramatic.

As soon as the words came out of Yeezoo's mouth, Saniogo and Alexander fell silent.

Everleigh, nonetheless, was silent too.

She simply smiled but said nothing.

She had made the right decision to go that day. Otherwise, she would not know that the Jenkins family members were such tricksters and performers.

Everleigh took a deep breath and said, "Then, thank you, Uncle. I'll have to trouble you with my matters in the future."

"Don't worry about it, Yasmine."

"Two days later, at the banquet, I'll announce to everyone that Everleigh is a Jenkins. All of you had better behave well on that day. If anyone makes any more trouble for me, don't blame me for not holding back," Saniogo warned them coldly. Luqman and his family still had not said a word. After being refuted like that, were they not just looking for trouble if they spoke?

"Everleigh, come with me to the study. I have something to discuss with you. Alexander, get the kitchen to prepare some of Everleigh's favorite dishes. You can go back after you eat," Saniogo instructed.

He knew that Everleigh would not stay. After all, she still had two children to take care of.

As for Yeezoo and Luqman, they could go wherever they wanted.

Everleigh followed him to the second floor. The second floor was so long that no end could be seen, and the door to each room was similar.

Once again, she realized that she had never seen the world of the wealthy before.

"All the doors are the same. How do you discern them?" She could not help but ask as she followed him.

Saniogo was in a good mood, and he was not fazed because of the earlier incident. "We got used to it after being here for a while. My father used to like living here because the air here was fresh and there was no city noise. However, with all the development that was going on, we had to go abroad no matter how stable the country was. Later, our family went abroad, and it was at that time that your parents left us."

At that point, he had reached the study. He pushed open the door and walked in.

Everleigh followed him and clearly noticed that his shoulders were trembling when he mentioned her parents.

Although it was very slight, she still sensed it.

He was the eldest, so he must have loved his brothers very much.

The lights in the study were turned on. Everleigh stared at everything in front of her, dumbfounded.

"This... This must be the library," she thought. What kind of study had so many books?

"Sit down. I have something for you." Saniogo ignored the shock on her face. Everyone that came through had a similar expression, and he got used to it after seeing it many times. She sat on one side of the sofa, still looking at the huge bookshelves in front of her, as well as the moving ladder. It looked as if the books on the shelves had recently been moved. Saniogo took a box out from the safe behind the chair and walked up to her.

"Your parents left this behind. I should've given it to you the last time we met, but there was an emergency, and I didn't have time to give it to you."

"Oh." She took it from him and looked at the rosewood box, which was spotless. She believed that he took it out quite often to have a look.
