Said I didn't Love Him But I Lied

Everleigh did not hear his voice for a long time, and felt a little uneasy. "Hello? Are you still there?"

"I'm listening." Christopher spoke in a low voice.

She was embarrassed. She didn't tell him anything about what she had done, and he only knew about it after it appeared on the news. Hence, it was reasonable for him to be angry. He was the one who had helped her without hesitation at the very beginning.

"Are you mad at me?" She asked cautiously.

He frowned and replied coldly, "What do you think?"

"I think you are."

"Of course I am, but just a little bit. You have your own considerations, so it's better for me to not comment on it."

She froze for a moment and remained silent.

He took a deep breath before he asked, "What are you going to do next?"

"Expand the company, but Wilson won't just let it go so easily." Everleigh's voice was cold; she really hated him.

That man had been enduring for such a long time for the sake of the Godfrey family, so how could he possibly let Theodore leave just like that?

"Well, you'd better be careful then. If there's anything you need, just look for Felicia."

Everleigh had already bothered her a lot. The two bodyguards were also hired by her. If Felicia didn't tell her, she wouldn't have known that Wilson had already made a move.

She told her about it when they were on their way to the Meyer family's home the previous time.

It was also at that moment that she finally understood why Theodore wanted to set up a company all of a sudden.

He had already known about Wilson's attempted attack.

"Alright, that's all. I'm working right now. We can talk about this when I get back." Christopher knew what was going on when he didn't get a response from her.

She always liked to let her imagination run wild. He had been helping her for so many years; he would definitely not back out now.

What a silly woman!

She was inexplicably relieved to hear his voice. She didn't want to be estranged from him just because of this matter. She didn't want to lose him as a friend.

One month later, Everleigh and Theodore's study was officially released and published. The first clinical trial was set in Benedict's hospital. He was impatient for Everleigh's research to be completed, as it would be a good prospect for the hospital.

She and the other researchers observed the trial of the new machines in the hospital every single day, and were researching a few new drugs at the same time.

They were so busy that they didn't even have time to rest.

Dr. Harrison looked at Everleigh and couldn't help but tease her, "Since when did you become so hardworking?"

She smiled helplessly. "Well, as a doctor, I have no other choice. I'm just trying to benefit the public, and make their lives happier."

When he heard her words, he immediately mocked her, "Hmm... These words sound so weird coming out of your mouth."

"Am I wrong?"

"It's very important for a medical practitioner to have medical ethics and be benevolent, but not what you're doing right now, using a bunch of big words," he lectured her seriously. She was forced to listen to his lecture. She really couldn't describe her feelings at that moment.

Wilson received the news as soon as the experiment results were released. He stared at the information in his hands with coldness in his eyes.

"Everleigh is truly impressive."

"Mr. Godfrey, what should we do now?" The secretary standing beside him suddenly asked.

A dash of craftiness flashed across his eyes. "Come here..." He then whispered a few words in his secretary's ear.

"Okay, I'll get someone to do it right away." The secretary nodded.

As he opened the door, he happened to run into Xavier. The secretary was shocked and quickly greeted, "Mr. Godfrey."

Xavier's cold gaze swept over him. Looking at the secretary's disturbed expression, he questioned, "Why are you in such a panic?"

"No... Nothing, I'm just a little surprised to see you here, Mr. Godfrey."

"Surprised? Is it really surprising for me to be here?" Xavier clearly didn't want to let him go just like that.

His icy eyes were shining, as if he wanted to read the secretary's mind.

"Is Mr. Godfrey inside?" He asked.

"Yes, yes. Mr. Godfrey, please come in," the secretary said hurriedly.

Wilson, who was standing inside his office, overheard the conversation and sat down in his chair, frowning.

Every time Xavier looked for him, there wouldn't be any good news. He angered him every single time.

Xavier moved into the room in his wheelchair. He looked at Wilson, who had an unpleasant expression on his face, and smiled cunningly. "From the looks of it, you don't seem to want me here, huh?"

"If not, should I be happy? It's not like you're a good son," Wilson retorted sarcastically.

Xavier's lips curled into a smile. He pushed his wheelchair in front of Wilson's desk and threw a document onto the desk. "Have a look. It's a gift for you."

Wilson glanced at the file. It was about the previous investment. His body immediately trembled. He picked it up and flipped through it. Looking at the contents inside, he was so furious that he became tongue-tied. "You... How dare you breach the contract?"

"Breach the contract? That sounds awful! Let me put this another way. I'm just taking back the money that you've stolen from the company. Isn't that right?" Xavier's sarcastic voice sounded.

He felt that he had done nothing wrong.

Wilson's eyes were turning red out of anger. "What nonsense are you talking about? That company is working internationally with a foreign company. Don't you know that you're ruining the future of Godfrey Group by breaching the contract?" "Ruin the future of Godfrey Group? How do you even have the audacity to say something like that? Don't make yourself sound so honorable. Do you want me to bring you the other document?"

"What document?" Wilson was startled. He had lost all his poise.

Xavier casted a cold glance at him, and turned around to look at the scenery outside the window. "Do you really think that you've done it very secretly? And the person you chose, is he really as simple as he appears to be?" Wilson's heart skipped a beat. He understood the underlying meaning behind his words.

Xavier snorted, turned around, and went out in his wheelchair.

At the moment the door of the office was shut, the both of them had different thoughts in their minds. In Xavier's mind, he knew that Theodore didn't want to obey the family, but he didn't seem to realize that Wilson's tricks were yet to end. He had to take the responsibility.

On the other hand, Wilson's thought was that Theodore must be the one who informed Xavier about his act.

Otherwise, how could someone else find out about the secret?

A few days later, an allergic reaction towards the medicine of Theodore's company was detected, and it was even life-threatening.

Everleigh rushed to the hospital immediately after she received the news. Dr. Harrison knew she couldn't handle it alone, so he offered to help.

In the emergency room, he asked, "What's this new medicine that you are developing?"

"It's a medicine that treats lung diseases, but I didn't find anything wrong with it throughout the entire research." She felt that something was odd. Although it was normal for medicines to trigger allergic reactions, those reactions normally wouldn't lead to life-threatening conditions.

He lowered his head and didn't answer. Instead, he continued the operation.

She was very nervous as well. She wanted to return to her lab and check if there was anything wrong with the medicine's formula.

Fortunately, the patient was sent to the hospital in time, so he survived.
