Said I didn't Love Him But I Lied

"Xavier? Theodore's younger brother?" Everleigh thought she had misheard him.

She was familiar with this name. When she was in college, she found out that Theodore had a younger brother. The first time she'd heard of him was seven years ago when Xavier had a car accident. However, she had never heard Theodore mention him before that.

"Why did he set me up? He and I have never met."

"If we can understand their motives so easily, it would not be so difficult for us to investigate what happened." Christopher picked up his fork again and said. "I'm still asking for people to investigate the specifics. This girl is called Ling, and she's 19 years old. She's been in juvenile detention before and has a criminal record. She has helped Xavier a lot in secret."

"Wait a minute." Everleigh was no longer interested in the matters at the birthday banquet. Her mind was filled with new ideas. "So what you're saying is that the fact that the car was scrapped and that William was transferred has something to do with Xavier?"

"My gut tells me so, but I don't have any evidence."

Everleigh knew that Christopher didn't come back suddenly just to celebrate her birthday, but she didn't expect him to bring back such contradictory news.

According to what he said, many of her previous assumptions had now been overturned.

If the car was related to Xavier, and William was also transferred because of him, then there was a great possibility that the incident seven years ago was related to Xavier and not Madison.

"How could it be him?" Everleigh had not the slightest recollection of the man, so why would someone she had never met, try to set her up?

"Don't think too much about it. It's still under investigation. Anyway, it's still related to the Godfrey family. Madison or Xavier, isn't it the same to you?"

They were all Theodore's family members, and most of their motives to scheme against her were because of him.

"Alright, don't think about it anymore. Eat something first. This sea urchin is not bad." Christopher flipped the document in her hand and threw it onto the tatami mat. Then, he picked up some sea urchin for her and put it on the dish in front of her.

Everleigh came to her senses and reluctantly nodded her head, but she was still absent-minded.

Things seemed to be far more complicated than she had thought.

From Josephine to Madison, and then to Xavier, the search for the invisible mastermind seemed endless. Although everything seemed to go smoothly, she always felt that everything seemed to be orchestrated by an invisible hand. The closer she got to the truth, the more flustered she was.

It was already quite late after dinner. When Everleigh asked the waiter for the bill, she was told that someone had paid it.

"The bill was paid?" Everleigh was astonished, "Are you sure? Did someone pay the wrong bill?"

The waitress, who was wearing a kimono, said respectfully, "Yes, I'm sure it has been paid. It's on Mr. Godfrey's account." Mr. Godfrey?

Before Everleigh came back to her senses, Christopher had put one hand on her shoulder and joked, "I didn't expect that I could benefit from you ever. However, paying the bill for the ex-girlfriend and the husband of the ex-girlfriend is really too dramatic. It seems out of reach for the common man."

Everleigh elbowed him grumpily and said, "I can't shut you up."

She knew what Theodore was trying to express. When she saw him in the hospital, she knew that he was there to apologize for what happened the day before. However, she had just received Christopher's call back then, so she simply turned a blind eye to him. She didn't expect him to follow her to the restaurant.

Everleigh asked the waitress, "Where is he?"

"He has already left. Mr. Godfrey left after having a pot of tea here."

Hearing this, Everleigh frowned and subconsciously looked in the direction of the elevator.

She didn't know how long he had stayed here.

On the way back, Christopher kept asking about what had happened over the past month.

"How long have I been gone? Why does it feel like I've missed out on a lifetime?"

"That sounds a little exaggerated, no?"

"Is it? I feel that if I came back a little later, you would have already found the next family and I would have to go through the divorce proceedings with you. Between Stainley and Theodore, who are you choosing this time? Tell me and I can help you with the decision."

"If you continue to talk nonsense, I'm going to make you walk home by yourself."

Everleigh didn't want to argue with him. She had been annoyed enough for the past two days, but Christopher had added fuel to the fire, and he was enjoying the show.

Sensing that she was miffed, he stopped and said, "Don't be so serious. It's not a big deal. Believe it or not, I have a way to help you solve all these problems."

"Really?" Everleigh looked at him skeptically and said, "Don't give me horrible ideas. I won't go along with it."

"You'll know when your birthday comes. Don't worry," Christopher was confident. He crossed his arms and lay down in the passenger seat. He said comfortably, "I can't just let any pig of a man take away someone I've invested so much into over the years."

A pig?

Everleigh rolled her eyes. In her heart, Christopher was the pig he talked about. How could he have the gall to talk about others?

It was late at night. The lights on the first floor of the Meyer Manor had been turned off.

It was not until the lights of the master bedroom on the second floor went out that a black car not far from the villa started up.

Through the car window in the back seat, Theodore's gaze was still fixed on the window on the second floor and he didn't seem to have any intention of looking away.

Meanwhile, he couldn't help but think of the scene at the hospital entrance. Christopher held Everleigh's shoulder and he didn't see any resistance from her at all. They were so close that it seemed to pierce an icicle through Theodore's heart. What annoyed him even more was that Stainley actually told him that he didn't mind Everleigh being married at all.

Incredibly, Stainley was still obsessed with Everleigh despite Theodore telling him she was married. What a piece of work.

At the thought of this, he couldn't help but clench his fists and the veins on the back of his hands began to throb.

"Mr. Godfrey, it's almost eleven o'clock. Shouldn't we be leaving?" The driver's voice came from the car and he said in a very careful tone, "The doctor said you still need to rest." Then, Theodore's thoughts were pulled back to reality. After a long while, he said, "Let's go."

The car left and went straight to the northern gate of the villa's compound.

Meanwhile, in another corner of the Meyer family's villa, under the shadow of a huge Arhat Pine, a silver-colored car was parked there before Theodore's car even arrived.

It was an ordinary-looking model with a subtle color, and only few people could recognize the value of that car. They wouldn't expect that there were only five of this car in the whole world, and that the value of one car could buy a whole house in downtown Ocpeace City.

As they saw the car in front of them drive away, a wizened old voice rang out inside the car. "Sir, would you like someone to follow them? It's been parked in front of the house for an hour, and we have no idea who it is." "There's no need. They don't seem like they have any bad intentions." A man's low and powerful voice came from the back seat, "But the security of this community is not very good. Anyone can go in and out at will." "Then I'll tell the real estate company tomorrow and have them monitor the cars coming and going more closely."

"Okay."

The man looked out of the car window and his eyes fell on the on the second floor window of the Meyer family's villa. Then, the look in his eyes gradually became gentler. After looking at it for a while, he ordered, "Fobe, let's go back." "Yes, sir."
