Said I didn't Love Him But I Lied

Standing at such a high position, Everleigh had a far field of vision, so she could see everybody's reactions clearly.

Wilson's expression froze for a few seconds, and the corners of his mouth slowly curled up.

On the other hand, Saniogo did not pay much attention to the audience. He was wallowing in the joy of finally finding Everleigh.

"Back then, when my brother, Welment and his wife, passed away in the plane crash, their child went missing. I've been searching for her for so many years, and my hard work has finally paid off. I've finally found her. Of course, I have Mr. Trevino to thank as well. He was the one who raised her and taught her so well." Saniogo turned his head to look at the two of them, and everyone could hear that his tone was full of gratitude.

Listening to his speech, Theodore's gaze fell on Everleigh. At that moment, he saw another version of her. In the past, she always dressed up in a gentle and pleasant manner, but at that moment, she was a pure and beautiful woman. Even her smile was accompanied by nobility.

However, he was delighted because he finally knew why Everleigh had left with Alexander.

"From today onwards, Everleigh is the eldest daughter of the Jenkins family. She will have half of everything our family owns." Saniogo's last sentence caused Luqman and Yeezoo's expressions to change a little.

She was also surprised. She thought that he would say such things in private, but there he was announcing it to everyone.

Abraham was slightly surprised as well, but he quickly regained his composure.

He knew that Saniogo was paving the way for Everleigh, and he was relieved that someone from the Jenkins family did not look down on her.

The other members of the Jenkins family looked at each other and felt even more aggrieved. Everleigh had left home for so many years, so how could she just take away half of their possessions as soon as her status was reclaimed? However, no matter how dissatisfied they were, they dared not say anything.

From the beginning of the announcement, Everleigh did not say a word. After Saniogo introduced her, she finally got to know many other members of the Jenkins family, but they were merely simple introductions. After all, they were all distant relatives, unlike her uncles, who were her direct family members.

"Uncle, a few of my friends have come here. I'll go talk to them first." Everleigh had seen Cecil waving to her earlier on, and if she did not go over any sooner, Cecil might get angry.

Saniogo understood. It just so happened that he was going to have a word with the company's business partners.

"Go on, I'll introduce the customers of the company to you later. Although you don't work for the Jenkins Group, there are still some people you should meet. And don't worry, they're all my friends," he explained. She nodded, but she was not very interested. She did not know anything about running a business, so she had nothing to say.

She walked over to Cecil, who smiled and said, "Look at you. Look how beautiful you are."

"Thank you." Everleigh smiled, feeling a little embarrassed. She turned her head only to see Felicia looking at her up and down. "Felicia..."

"How come I don't know about this? When did it happen?" Felicia asked with a half-smile, a trace of unhappiness in her shrewd eyes.

Everleigh knew that she was in the wrong, so she dared not say anything else, but instead chose to be silent.

"Miss Meyer, you can't possibly think that she's lying, do you?" Cecil hurriedly asked when she saw Felicia's sullen expression.

The two of them were worried that someone would leak the information, so they never told anyone, much less the Jenkins family members.

Felicia's cold gaze swept over them as she picked up her wine glass and took a sip. Everleigh could see the displeasure in her eyes.

She knew that she owed the Meyer family too much, and that concealing the truth from them was not right of her. "Felicia, I'm sorry. I only found out half a year ago. I didn't mean to hide it from you, but..." "Does Christopher know about this?" Felicia asked stonily.

Everleigh lowered her gaze and felt even more guilty, "He doesn't know. I've not told him yet because Wilson has been keeping a threatening eye on me, and I don't want to cause Christopher any trouble," she answered truthfully. Christopher had suspicions, all of which she dismissed.

She figured that he would be able to see the news once it was published. When that moment arrived, the storm would come with it.

Felicia turned around, not wanting to talk to her.

Everleigh opened her mouth to say something, but she did not know what to say.

Cecil stopped her and said, "Forget it, you can go to the Meyer family's home afterwards to apologize in person. After all, it was wrong of you to keep this from them." Everleigh looked at her. At that point, that was the only thing she could do.

Theodore stood behind her, a smile slowly appearing on his face.

"You concealed it really well." His cool voice rang out from behind them, causing both Cecil and Everleigh to shiver.

Everleigh slowly turned her head and looked into his smiling eyes. She let out a sigh of relief. When she heard his voice, she thought that he was angry. However, when she saw the smile on his face, she knew that he had done it on purpose. "If I didn't, would I still be alive right now?" She said helplessly.

She could guarantee that if she revealed it on her own, not to mention the public, even the Jenkins family would not let her stand there unharmed.

Theodore understood her reasons, and he was not angry. Instead, he was rather happy. With the Jenkins family backing her up, she would be much safer.

"I'm glad."

"You're just glad that she can help you now, aren't you?" Cecil stood to one side and said coldly.

She could not hide the disgust in her eyes.

Everleigh was not surprised with her behavior. In fact, all girls had the same notion that no one was worthy of their best friends, just as Everleigh felt that Leon did not deserve Cecil.

Up until that moment, no matter what she said to Cecil, she insisted on not wanting Theodore to be with her.

She understood what her friend was feeling, and so she gave up on persuading her.

Cecil could think of whatever she wanted.

Theodore was not upset, "Whatever you think, Miss Hayes."

Cecil widened her eyes and gritted her teeth so hard that they nearly crumbled. She refused to believe that he did not understand her meaning.

He even had the nerve to say such things.

He was simply too infuriating.

His face was still as indifferent as ever, but there was a hint of laughter in his eyes.

His usual sharpness was nowhere to be seen.

Wilson and Xavier had different thoughts when they saw that scene.

"You're here having a battle of wits and courage with me, and yet Theodore is there waiting to reap the profit," Wilson said bitterly, but a gentle smile was still plastered on his face.

"Isn't that good?" Xavier said without even raising his head, "Back then, you wanted Theodore to accept Godfrey Group. Now that he's being active, shouldn't you be satisfied?" Wilson's eyes turned haughty as he lowered his head to look at him.

Unconcerned, Xavier slowly raised his head, and the corners of his mouth turned up into a cold sneer.

"As if you're not greedy."

"I was greedy before, but look at how that ended for me. Now that I'm not greedy, I don't exactly have a good life either. Mr. Godfrey, don't force everything you value onto others. Things you care about may be worthless in the eyes of others," Xavier said sarcastically.
