Chapter 242 Why Are You Doing This?
"Yes, that car does belong to the Godfrey family," Moses replied hesitantly. "And it was Madam Madison who used it seven years ago."
Upon hearing this, Theodore's eyes suddenly turned cold. In the next second, he started coughing violently. "Ahem, Ahem, Ahem..." "Mr. Godfrey, are you alright?" Moses hurried forward to support him.
He had been by Theodore's side for seven years. He had never seen Theodore in such a haggard state before. "Why don't you go to the doctor's and have yourself checked out? How's your body going to take it?" Theodore pushed Moses' arm away. His pale face made him seem even more aloof against the white walls of the hospital. "And? Go on."
It was not only the license plate number that he had asked Moses to investigate.
Moses silently sighed in his heart and thought to himself, "Why are you doing this to yourself?"
He didn't realize it before, but now, it was obvious that Everleigh had come back just to investigate what had happened in the past. She tried so hard to get close to the Godfrey family, which meant that she knew that the incident back then had something to do with the Godfrey family.
Theodore was a member of the Godfrey family. No matter how much he investigated, there was nothing he could do about it even if he found out the truth.
One side was his former lover, whom he owed.
On the other side, was his family, which was difficult for him to part with because they were related by blood.
Who could make such a choice if it was them?
"Seven years ago, when Madam Madison hadn't retired from the group, her secretary was the closest to her. That secretary has changed jobs and left the Godfrey Group now. She's not in Ocpeace City either. It's really hard to find where she is." "What about the housekeeper? Did he say anything?"
"I haven't investigated the housekeeper yet. I'm afraid that it will be difficult for me to finish the investigation if we alerted Madam Madison."
He was also saying this for the sake of Theodore and Everleigh.
If Mrs. Godfrey knew that Theodore already knew about what happened seven years ago and was still investigating the people around her, she would definitely fly into a rage. No matter if it was right or wrong, Everleigh would be in danger. Theodore frowned. After a long while, he said, "Continue looking for that previous secretary. Even if you need to search the entire country, you have to find her for me."
His tone was too cold. When he spoke, there seemed to be endless resentment throbbing within the blue veins in his neck.
Even if he was unaware when the incident happened that year and he was not the one who had done it, he was still indirectly involved in it. All these things arose due to his identity as the young master of the Godfrey family. He felt guilty about it.
Moses knew that no matter how much he tried to comfort him, it was useless. Theodore needed space to vent his anger. He had to do something. Even if he found out the truth, he would only end up putting himself in an even more miserable and sorry state.
"Yes, I will definitely find this person for you."
...
At this time, in the VIP ward.
The butler brought some food to the ward and said, "Madam Scott, have some food. What's the point of being so angry with Mr. Godfrey?"
"That's because he's so disappointing. I've tried so hard to be so close to Everleigh and the two children, but he always makes her angry instead. Everything I did for him is all in vain."
Helen waved her hand and said, "I don't want to eat. I have no appetite."
The butler placed the food aside for the time being helplessly. "Perhaps, Miss Trevino did not come because of the holidays. Don't forget that she has a family too."
"How can I not know? It's because I'm aware of this that it made me angry." Helen patted the quilt and said angrily, "Although Alastair told me that Everleigh and Christopher's marriage is fake, it's hard to say if that guy won't come up with any evil intentions when such a beautiful girl is beside him. Perhaps, the fake marriage would even turn true. By then, will that dimwit in our family have any chance?"
"That's not what I meant, Madam Scott," said the butler with a helpless sigh. "I mean, even if it's a fake marriage, Miss Trevino and Mr. Meyer have to attend the family banquet during this holiday period, right? Thus, perhaps Mr. Theodore really didn't do anything. It's because Miss Trevino has been really busy for the past two days."
"It's impossible. If she was busy, why didn't she answer my call?"

In the past two days, Helen had been calling Everleigh many times, but none of her calls were answered. She couldn't even get through to Alastair's number. Thus, she became anxious. No one knew what Helen was thinking, but she suddenly looked at the butler and asked, "What did you say just now?"
He paused for a moment before replying, "I said Miss Trevino is busy."
"No, the previous sentence."
He thought about it for a moment and asked hesitantly, "Miss Trevino is going to the family banquet with Mr. Meyer?" Helen's eyes suddenly lit up. "Yes, family banquet."
"What about it?" The butler was a little confused, and he looked at her uncertainly.
Helen waved her hand and said, "Go check it out and find out which hotel the Meyer family's family banquet will be held at."
"What do you want to do?"
"Since Theodore can't do it, I have to take action. Otherwise, I'll have to watch helplessly as such a good granddaughter-in-law and such obedient children go to someone else's arms." Looking at Helen, who was rubbing her hands, the butler knew that it was useless to persuade her otherwise. Therefore, he had to silently pray that she would not do anything too reckless. If this was someone else's home, it would be fine. However, the other party was from the Meyer family. Compared to the Godfrey family, they were on par.
In the evening, luxury cars came and went one after another at the entrance of a hotel.
Everleigh came with Abraham. As soon as they got out of the car, they saw Christopher waiting at the entrance.
"Dad, slow down," Christopher said and held onto Abraham's arm. This almost made Everleigh stumble.
"Ahem," Abraham gave a dry cough and pulled out his arm. "It's troublesome to have you wait here personally."
Abraham had long known that Christopher had a bad reputation outside. Especially after knowing that Everleigh was married to him, he paid more attention to him and inquired a lot about him.
It was better if he didn't inquire about it. Once he did, he confirmed Christopher's reputation. It was all true and there was no bluff at all. He was so angry that he almost lost his temper. He could not wait to ask Everleigh to divorce him immediately.
Christopher was not angry, but he still smiled and greeted them. "It's my duty to serve the elder."
Abraham didn't know what to do with Christopher's smirking face.
At this time, Everleigh got out of the car from the other side, followed by Selena, who was reluctant to come.
After all, it was a meeting of the two families. Even if they didn't get along with each other, sisters would still be invited.
Everleigh walked over and noticed that the situation was not good. She tugged Abraham's arm and said in a low voice, "Even if you don't like him, please give him some respect. Don't keep such a straight face." Abraham scoffed, his face still cold and indifferent.
Just as Selena came forward, Everleigh took the initiative to introduce her to Christopher. "This is my sister, Selena."
He raised the corners of his lips, and his eyes were shining. He took the initiative to reach out his hand. "I've heard a lot about you, big star."
Selena's cold face changed immediately. Her proud and aloof face inexplicably changed into one of shyness. "You can just call me Selena," she said modestly.
As soon as she reached out her hand, Christopher suddenly withdrew his and raised his eyebrows. "I'd better not shake hands with you. After all, you are a star. It's not good for us to be photographed like that." As soon as he finished speaking, Selena's smile froze at the corner of her lips.
Was he playing a trick on her?
