Said I didn't Love Him But I Lied
Chapter 332 Theodore's Current State

It was the first time Everleigh had a good night's sleep since she left home a year ago. By the time she woke up, it was already nine o'clock. She had never been so relaxed.

Selena was sitting alone on the sofa when she went down.

"Are you reading a script?"

"Yeah, there is a new historical drama," Selena said without looking up.

Everleigh sat on the sofa and took a bite of the grapes on the table, "I could watch your dramas over there, but they're incomplete." "Really? It sounds like I've made it big time."

"I hate to burst your bubble, but the staff downloaded them. The locals don't even know you," Everleigh said mercilessly.

Selena's face darkened. "Then you should've kept it to yourself. That was upsetting."

Everleigh laughed and found that it was not bad to say so. At least, it was better than being bluntly hurtful.

She went to the hospital to look for Christopher that afternoon.

They had a lot of things to say to each other.

When they got to the restaurant, they noticed that it had been renovated in the past year. It was a different experience. "It's only been a year but things sure have changed."

"Of course, you have no idea how bored I was whenever I came here alone," Christopher said with mixed feelings.

Thinking about how he had been in the past year, he sighed.

Everleigh's eyebrows rose slightly. "I'm surprised you came alone. What about the girls around you?"

"I stopped lusting after women after you left." His eyes sank slightly, as if he was determined.

She looked at him disdainfully. If he could ever give up on that, she would quit eating.

He chuckled and stopped teasing her. He said solemnly, "Yvonne has taken control of the Godfrey family." Everleigh's hands, which were holding a knife and fork, stopped as she thought of the girl with braids.

Even though she was impulsive, she was kind-hearted as well.

"What about Theodore?"

Christopher put down his cutlery and said, "There's a saying, beauty is the root of all evil. After you left, Theodore became depressed and neglected the company. Yvonne took advantage and entered Godfrey Group..." He told her that Yvonne helped Loraine enter Godfrey Group and made her the vice president. She also secretly bribed the shareholders to support Loraine in order to get the position.

By the time Theodore knew, it was already too late. Coupled with the fact that he was in the wrong, everyone felt that it was better to replace him with someone else.

Although he was the CEO of Godfrey Group, Loraine questioned all the decisions he made. More accurately, it was Yvonne who questioned them.

He was not doing well in the company either.

Hearing this, Everleigh was filled with mixed emotions. Although she knew that Theodore didn't want to work in business, he shouldn't have ended up like this either. "Everleigh, do you feel proud knowing that a man had done so much for you?" Christopher teased.

She chuckled and said, "Do you think I should be happy?"

"I would if I was you. After all, he got what he deserved, no?"

She smiled but did not say anything. There was a hint of desolation in her eyes. It had only been a year and such a thing had happened.

She couldn't help but touch the ring on her finger. Ever since she put it on, she had never taken it off.

"What about Wilson? Didn't he want nothing to do with Godfrey Group? Why would he let Yvonne intervene in the family business?" Everleigh had almost forgotten about him. When he left the Godfrey family, he had already been on bad terms with Madam Scott. Now that Yvonne was working in Godfrey Group, didn't he say anything? Upon hearing Wilson's name, mixed emotions appeared on Christopher's face. His eyes were dim. He wanted to speak but stopped on second thought. Everleigh had rarely seen such an expression on his face. She couldn't help but ask, "What is it?"

"Everleigh, remember when I told you before you left that there may be someone scheming behind the Godfrey family's backs. He could very likely be Wilson." She was slightly startled as coldness rose in her eyes. There was never conflict between them and he had never said anything bad to her. "What?"

"I don't believe it either. How could a person like him do such a thing and deliberately frame Madison?" He said coldly, with signs of disbelief. He also didn't believe it at first but then, he gradually accepted it.

No one from a big family would be willing to play a small character, but he didn't expect this man to be so cruel as to do such a thing to a woman.

When Everleigh heard this, she thought of that rainy night. Although she had already known the truth, she still had to take revenge.

"Everleigh, why aren't you saying anything?"

"There's nothing to say. Whether it's Madison or Wilson, I won't let them get away easily."

"What are you planning?"

"They don't know that I'm back yet and we don't know which of them will give themselves away." Everleigh calmly cut a piece of beef and put it into her mouth. Her hands were clenched and her eyes were cold.

Hey there! Just a friendly reminder that if you're not reading this book on nel5s.org, you might be missing out on the complete story. Head over there to dive into the next chapter-it's all free!

Christopher was a little lost when he saw her like this. To him, Everleigh was sharp-tongued, but kind-hearted nonetheless. However, she had changed a lot after coming back. This made him feel distant.

Just as she was about to leave after their meal, he asked when she would be back to work.

"In a few days. Since Cecil is coming back, I have to pick her up," she  said as she pretended to be relaxed.

She had received a letter from Cecil. It explained that Christopher and Cecil had already buried the hatchet, and that it was Diana who did it on purpose.

Although Cecil did not apologize, she had already forgiven Christopher through her actions.

He looked down at his watch and said, "It's almost time. I'm going back to work. Be careful."

"Alright."

Everleigh saw him off and drove home.

She had been trying to grasp what he had told her along the way home. The reason why she hadn't contacted Theodore was that she wanted to figure out their relationship. Now that she was certain, things took a turn for the worse.

Three days later, Everleigh arrived at the airport, waiting for Cecil's return. When she saw her walking over, there were two other people behind her. One was Zeldan and the other was Cecil's older brother, Lenold. She wanted to call out for Cecil but when she saw the two people behind her, she decisively chose to pipe down.

"Everleigh!" Cecil shouted excitedly and ran over.

She hugged her with a smile. She missed her so much.

"Why are you late? I've been waiting for you for a long time."

"Can't you see those two behind me?" Cecil put on a sad face. Initially, she came back by herself but she saw them as soon as she got on the plane.
