Said I didn't Love Him But I Lied

Saniogo had always liked girls, and he doted on Cynthia a lot. Although she made a mistake, she shouldn't be disciplined in front of everyone like that.

Hearing that, Everleigh's eyes turned colder, and the corner of her mouth lifted into a smile of mockery.

Alexander noticed her expression. He hesitated for a moment, and voiced out, "Dad, let's not interrupt them. Uncle Yeezoo has his own ways of teaching his children. Besides, it really was Cynthia's fault. If Everleigh actually drank it, what would other people say about it?"

He was trying to remind Saniogo that Everleigh was still there, so he should be careful with his words.

Saniogo's expression stiffened slightly. He glanced at Everleigh, and she wasn't showing much emotion.

Alexander's words certainly didn't leave any mercy for Cynthia.

"Uncle, I think you should punish her after you go back. You shouldn't do it here. Are you really trying to discipline her, or is this just a show?" Alexander directly exposed Yeezoo.

As his son, he understood that Saniogo's caring for Cynthia was reasonable, but to him, she had really gone overboard. She deserved to be embarrassed in front of everyone, and she wasn't worth pitying.

On the contrary, Everleigh was the real victim. After the incident, Ralph had told Alexander about Cynthia's actions, so he never spoke up from the beginning. He wanted to see what Yeezoo and the others would do.

As expected, they still reacted the same way, hoping for his father to clean up the mess.

Unfortunately, he did not buy it.

"Alexander, what do you mean by that? Are you saying that I'm just acting in front of all of you?"

"Isn't it true? Uncle, do I really have to make it so obvious?" Alexander replied straightforwardly with a gloomy face.

Yeezoo was lost for words. He stared at his nephew in anger but couldn't say a single word.

"Since everything has been made clear now, I don't think I should stay any longer. However, before I go, in order to prove my innocence, I'd like everyone to watch something," Everleigh said as she took out her phone and showed everyone the video sent by Cecil.

It showed Cynthia adding the drugs into the drinks.

Cynthia's eyes widened when she saw the video. At that moment, she hoped that she was blind.

The people in the room could no longer say anything. Since the evidence had been shown, what else could they say?

"I hope you have learned your lesson this time. If there is a next time, don't blame me for not being easygoing. Let me tell you something, I am not a person whom you can easily mess with." Everleigh's face looked gentle, but her words were cold and bone-piercing.

"Everleigh," Saniogo called out, but then paused. He didn't know what to say.

She looked at him and said, "Uncle, I understand that you really love Cynthia, but I am a human being too. Can't I have my own feelings?" She really wanted to ask, was Cynthia allowed to be so impudent just because she grew up with the Jenkins family? However, she controlled herself.

Saniogo's entire body shook, and his gaze grew dim. He opened his mouth, but not a single word came out. Everleigh could sense that he was feeling guilty, so she didn't say anything more. She turned around and left.

"I think it's better for me to spend less time with the Jenkins family in the future," she thought to herself.

When she came down, Felicia got up, walked over, and asked, "Is everything settled?"

"Yes, let's go now."

"I've told your father that you will be staying at our place tonight," Felicia said in a deep voice. She didn't want her to worry about the Trevino family. Everleigh felt a warmth in her heart. Once again, she felt Felicia's care for her. She might look cold from the outside, but her heart was warm like a fire. That was why she liked to get along with her.

After they left, Alexander asked his men to send Yeezoo and Luqman back.

Luqman's family was there to watch the fun for the whole night. The people whom Saniogo invited that day was proof that he wanted Everleigh to join the Jenkins family openly. Those who deliberately caused trouble were just seeking death. No one could figure out what Yeezoo and his family were thinking. Why would they plot against Saniogo at this time?

After they had all left, Alexander said to his father, "Dad, you can't hurt Everleigh just because Cynthia is a girl. Everleigh didn't grow up in our family, so she isn't really close to us. Do you really want her to come back, or are you trying to chase her away?"

Saniogo gave him a meaningful look, and a light flashed in his eyes. "Are you feeling bad for Everleigh, or are you feeling bad for yourself?"

"Both. The only reason Cynthia is behaving like this is because she thinks that Everleigh will steal her spotlight by coming back. Dad, do you really think that the Jenkins family is so united? If that's the case, Uncle Abraham wouldn't have died, and you wouldn't have to take over all of this for the Jenkins family," Alexander said coldly.

He had never said those things before. Saniogo was his father, so he didn't comment much on him. However, the event that day made him realize that some people would start to hurt others after being indulged.

That included hurting their own family members.

Saniogo wasn't really pleased to hear his words although they were all true. When he first took over the Jenkins family, he had harmed many of the family members. That was why he chose to turn a blind eye to Luqman and Yeezoo. He looked for Everleigh just to compensate her. He didn't mean anything else, and he surely didn't expect someone to set him up.

"I know," Saniogo replied coldly.

"When you have time, you should talk to Everleigh. Don't make her feel sad." Alexander was rather worried that he had gone too far. He was afraid that his father would feel uneasy, but it seemed that he was just overthinking. Saniogo nodded and kept silent. With a wave of his hand, he signaled his son to go back to rest. Alexander left without saying anything.

Meanwhile, Everleigh and Felicia had arrived at the Meyer family's home. Felicia told them the whole story. Vanessa's mouth opened in shock when she heard the story. "Everleigh, is this true?" "It's true. I only found out half a year ago. The reason I didn't say it was because the Jenkins family would attack me for it, so I chose to keep it a secret. I'm really sorry. I know I should've said it, but I..." "There's no need to apologize. You've done the right thing. Anyone else would've done the same thing too," Samuel suddenly voiced out.

He thought that there was nothing wrong with it.

Hearing his words, Everleigh heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Thank you for your understanding."

"But, will Yeezoo take revenge for the incident that happened today?" Vanessa asked with concern.

"No, Saniogo won't allow him to do so." Felicia took a sip of the tea on the table and spoke firmly.

Everleigh nodded in agreement. Indeed, he wouldn't allow the Jenkins family to fight among themselves.

Especially after the incident had happened. A person who was smart enough would definitely stop their actions.

And don't make any trouble.

Vanessa nodded. She was still very happy. "You have finally found your biological family, and I'm really happy for you. By the way, why didn't you bring Alastair and Adrienne over? I haven't seen them in a while. I've bought them quite a lot of things!"

She felt a little sad when she talked about the two kids. It would be great if the children could live with her.

The house was really big, but empty at the same time.
