Said I didn't Love Him But I Lied

Upon seeing Cynthia's reaction, Everleigh's eyes sparkled. She picked up her fork, took up a piece of liver, and put it straight into her mouth. Then, she savored it carefully as if nothing had happened. It seemed as if she was tasting a world renowned delicacy.

Cynthia's eyes widened in disbelief, and she looked at Everleigh as if she was looking at a monster.

Seeing that, Linggon also picked up a piece of liver and put it into his mouth. "The food here still tastes the best. This liver may look ordinary, but it tastes really good."

Cynthia turned her head to look at him, her expression getting more upset.

"I know that Everleigh likes it, so I had it made specially for her. If you don't want to eat it, you can put down your cutlery." Saniogo's first sentence was full of affection, but the second one was rather stony. He was obviously talking to Cynthia.

She knew that it was aimed at her, and her face flushed with embarrassment. However, her eyes clearly showed her dissatisfaction towards Everleigh.

"Saniogo, Cynthia has just been spoiled by me. Don't you love her the most? Let's not make a fuss about it..."

"Fenna, my love for her doesn't mean that she can be arrogant. Today is the day of Everleigh's return. If anyone dares to find fault with Everleigh, don't blame me for not going easy on you." Of course Saniogo knew what she was implying. They felt that he did not care about Cynthia now that Everleigh was back.

They were both his nieces; how could he not dote on them?

But... If anyone dared to cause trouble, they could not blame him for being blunt with them.

When Saniogo said that, Fenna instantly fell silent. Luqman then scolded, "Why are you so meddlesome? Don't you know his character? When have you known him to be biased?"

Everleigh and Alexander exchanged helpless looks. The whole family were really drama queens; they could not even stop to have a proper meal.

It seemed that it was better to go to the Jenkins Manor less often.

Cynthia did not eat much, mainly because she did not like the food. Everleigh had eaten a lot, and she had to admit that the chef's cooking was delicious.

After the meal, she received a phone call from Adrienne, who happily told her that she had caught a huge fish and wanted to eat it with her.

Hearing her voice, Everleigh knew that they had had a good time fishing. "Okay, I'll go back now. Wait for me."

"Okay, Mommy."

Everleigh's smile did not falter. When she hung up the phone, she happened to meet Cynthia's eyes, which were bearing down on her with disdain. "Yasmine, it seems like you have other plans."

"And is that weird?" Everleigh asked in response. Everyone had their own family and friends.

Cynthia rolled her eyes sarcastically.

Everleigh did not bother arguing with her. She turned to look at Saniogo and said, "Uncle, I need to leave first as there's something I need to do. I'll come and see you when I have time."

"Okay, go back earlier. Alexander will send you back. I'll visit your father personally in a few days." Saniogo heard the voice coming from the other side of the phone. Although it was very soft, he could still hear the child's voice. He was very grateful to the Trevino family. If it was not for Abraham, Everleigh would not be so well-educated, so it was only right that he paid him a visit.

"Okay." Everleigh did not stay any longer and followed Alexander out.

After they left, Yeezoo could not help but ask, "Saniogo, are you sure that she's Welment's daughter?"

"Yeezoo, are you doubting me?" Saniogo's voice was filled with displeasure.

Yeezoo sighed softly, "Saniogo, that's not what I meant. The Jenkins family has so many businesses, and a lot of people are out to get us. We have to be on guard."

"That's right. She may look like Lillian, but it's possible to get plastic surgery to look like a Jenkins. Saniogo, we're just afraid that you've been deceived," Fenna chimed in.

She was angry just looking at Everleigh's charm.

The ruckus that happened during Welment and Lillian's wedding was all caused by Lillian's beautiful face. Otherwise, what else could have caused it?

"Why don't we check to see if she had tampered with things behind our backs?" Cynthia added.

The three of them were extremely opposed to Everleigh's arrival.

Saniogo's face darkened. He grabbed a cup and smashed it hard on the table, creating a hole.

The sound shocked all of them, and they looked at him in surprise.

Luqman's family, in particular, had a look of horror on their faces.

Saniogo glared coldly at them, "Shut up, all of you. If I say that she's a Jenkins, then she is. If I hear anyone spouting nonsense again, you can get out of this house. If I get to know that Everleigh has been wrongly accused, don't blame me for taking action. You don't want a repeat of what happened twenty years ago, do you?"

At the mention of the incident twenty years ago, Luqman and Yeezoo were both stunned into silence. They did not want to go back to that kind of life.

Catching sight of their expressions, Saniogo snorted coldly before standing up to leave.

The remaining six people glanced at each other. They rarely saw Saniogo lose his temper. It seemed like Everleigh was really important to him.

In the future, they could not treat her like how they had treated her that evening.

Yeezoo and his wife looked at each other and saw the dark glint shining in both their eyes.

They wanted to see what kind of person Everleigh was, but they did not expect her to hold such power.

"Are you tired?"

"Do you think being with the Jenkins was very relaxing?" She did not even lift her eyelids, and her fatigue was reflected in her eyes.

Alexander had on a slightly cold expression, and his thin lips were tightly pursed.

"Uncle Yeezoo and Uncle Luqman are like that, but in fact, what they're thinking..."

"Hmph, you don't need to explain. I can tell what they're thinking. However, does Uncle Luqman like attractive women?" Everleigh opened her eyes and looked at his face.

His eyes filled with surprise. "How do you know?"

"I knew from the moment I entered the room and saw his face. Has he been feeling lethargic and walking around on shaky feet recently?"

He chuckled, "You're a chief physician indeed, able to tell what disease he's suffering from just from a glance."

"It was just too obvious. It's best if he doesn't get too close to women, or he'll die soon," she reminded kindly. Perhaps it was because of her profession, but she could not help saying something after seeing him in that state. Alexander's smile deepened when he heard that. He turned his head and said, "Everyone knows about Uncle Luqman's situation, but even Aunt Fenna doesn't care about it, so what can we say? Everleigh, don't meddle in other people's business, okay?"

She stared sharply at him and felt a little confused. Were they not family?

Would Yeezoo's death make them feel good?

She suddenly understood what Cecil meant. Regardless of what tragedy a couple had to suffer through, they would have a common goal, which was to work hard to earn money. However, once they became rich, everything changed.

That was the situation with the Jenkins family.

"By the way, I will bring the dress for the banquet to you tomorrow. Do you want to bring the two children along? My father has told me many times that he wants to see the children."
