Said I didn't Love Him But I Lied

"Cynthia, I don't think there's any need for us to continue talking with this cousin of yours," Sisley said a little angrily.

Cynthia looked at her irritated expression and stared blankly at Everleigh, "Everleigh, what did you say to them?"

"Nothing. I was just chatting with them. I don't know why they're angry. Cynthia, you should really open your eyes when making friends. It's not good for them to be so hot-tempered," Everleigh responded while feigning embarrassment, acting as if she was only looking out for her cousin.

She knew that they would not say anything nice, so she might as well speak first.

Cynthia was well aware of what had happened anyway.

Upon hearing her words, she became a little mad. What did she mean that she needed to open her eyes when she was making friends? Did she look like a blind person?

"You... You're the evil one, and yet you're complaining."

"I'm not the evil one who's complaining, I'm just stating the facts," Everleigh said coldly.

She was not afraid of offending them at all.

Cynthia wanted to say something, but after thinking for a while, she decided to hold back her thoughts. "We're all friends here, so let's not take this so seriously. My cousin has been away for many years, and it's normal for us to not be on the same page. Besides, now that she's back, she'll naturally conform to our rules. She won't behave like how she used to. Come on, let's have some drinks to cool down." Her words were a mixture of praises and criticisms.

However, her attitude made Everleigh somewhat suspicious. Previously, she had caused such a scene because of the liver dish, but now, she was speaking for her, albeit not very pleasantly.

However, her attitude really called for suspicion. Could it be...

Cynthia handed her a glass and said, "Everleigh, I don't know what you like to drink, so I randomly mixed one for you."

"Thank you." Everleigh took it and glanced at the drink. She felt like there was something wrong with it.

The other three exchanged looks when they saw her not drinking it. "Why aren't you drinking it? Don't tell me you don't want to drink the beverage that Cynthia made for you?" Sisley said, not hiding the disgust on her face. Everleigh set the glass down and decided that she was really not going to touch it.

"Yes, I don't really drink. It's not healthy, but if Cynthia doesn't mind, she can get me a glass of water," she said in a low voice.

She had a strong dislike for the drink.

Cynthia and her three friends had looks of dissatisfaction on their faces. Was she really regarding herself as a noble young lady who could control others at will? She came from the humble Trevino family. What was there to be proud of? Cynthia was very upset, but for the sake of her own plan, she could only pour water silently for Everleigh.

At that moment, Alexander caught sight of their actions.

Ralph, who was standing beside him, looked in their direction and said, "Your cousin seems to be in trouble. Cynthia doesn't like her very much."

Alexander's face turned cold. He did not say anything, but his nervousness showed.

Just as Cynthia was about to pass the glass of water to Everleigh, Cecil bumped into her from behind.

Cynthia was instantly enraged, "Are you blind?"

"Sorry, I stepped on my own dress." Cecil's proud expression agitated Cynthia.

"You... You did that on purpose, didn't you?" Cynthia fumed.

Everleigh and the three girls got up and went over to them. Cecil immediately strode to Everleigh's side and pretended to be wronged, "Everleigh, look at her. I already said that it was an accident but she refused to forgive me. Will she only calm down when she pushes me to the ground?"

Cynthia was so furious that she could hardly breathe.

"You..."

"Alright, it wasn't intentional. Why are you still making such a fuss? Is it fun to have people's eyes on you?" Everleigh used her eyes to point to the side, and a few people were indeed looking their way.

Cynthia could not release her anger, so she could only seethe with rage. However, Linda and the others were aware of their surroundings and knew that they should not make a scene, so they tried to subdue her. "Come on, let's have some juice to cool down." Shirley passed a glass to Cynthia.

She could not decline it, so she angrily downed the drink.

When Cecil saw that she had drunk it, a faint smile crept onto her lips.

Everleigh did not see her smile. She thought it better that they leave before the situation got worse and they brought shame on the Jenkins name. "Forget it, I'll go with her to talk to some friends first." "Wait, drink some water before you go," Cynthia spoke up.

"There's no need." Cecil pushed the glass down, making it impossible for Everleigh to get it.

Cynthia raised her hand to hit her, but stopped short when Cecil shot her a stony glare.

For a moment, she felt as if Cecil could see through her thoughts.

Cecil snorted and left with Everleigh.

After the two of them went to a corner, Theodore walked over. "Not drinking the drink was the right thing to do."

Everleigh heard his voice and was stunned, "What do you mean?"

He had seen Cynthia's actions earlier on, and he wanted to do something about it, but Cecil was faster. Nonetheless, it had saved him a lot of trouble.

Cecil became even more contemptuous of him, "Why don't you just show up after she gets into trouble?" "Isn't it more convenient for you to intervene compared to me?"

"You..."

Listening to their conversation made Everleigh even more confused, "What are you two talking about?"

"You'll know soon enough," Cecil said grumpily, her eyes full of reproach. Did Everleigh not know that she should keep her guard up against people who would cause her harm?

Everleigh frowned. Before she could say anything, she heard a voice coming from Cynthia's side. It attracted not only her attention, but many others as well.

"Haha... Come and play..." Cynthia suddenly laughed in a strange manner. Her cheeks were flushed, and her eyes were bleary.

Sisley, who was standing to one side, was acting in the same way. Shirley and Linda tried to restrain them but they failed.

Although Everleigh knew what was going on with just one glance because she was a doctor, everyone else was aware of the situation as well.

The two girls laughed loudly, which attracted the attention of Saniogo and Alexander, who quickly walked over.

When they arrived, they saw the two girls taking off their clothes.

If Linda and Shirley had not blocked them, they would have been seen by everyone there.

Luqman's wife also came over and called out in surprise, "Cynthia."

"Mom, look. There are fawns dancing over there." Cynthia reached out her hand and pointed in a certain direction.

She was twisting her feet in a strange gait.

Cecil laughed when she heard what Cynthia had said, "Dancing fawns, how imaginative."

"How could a girl carry such things with her?" Theodore's eyes were dark and gloomy, and they were filled with anger. He dared not imagine what would happen to Everleigh if she had drunk it. Just the thought of it made him furious. Something flashed across her eyes as she recalled Cecil deliberately coming to her side after she got into an argument with Cecil.

She turned to her friend and asked, "Did you do it?"

"Don't make it sound so bad. I did it? It was in the glass she gave you. When she wasn't paying attention, I poured some of it into each of their cups. Unfortunately, only the two of them drank it."
