Chapter 245 Shut Up
At this moment, the door of the booth behind Everleigh was also opened. The first one to come out was Christopher, followed by Abraham and the Meyers. The two children were also among them. Upon seeing this, Christopher knew what was going on. He immediately handed the two children to Vanessa and said, "Mom, take Alastair and Adrienne in first."
"What happened? Was Everleigh bullied by someone?" Vanessa was still worried and looked outside.
"Mom, come in." It was Felicia who spoke this time. She pulled Vanessa and stopped Abraham. "Mr. Trevino, you should come in too. No matter what happens, Christopher will handle it well." After saying this, she took a deep look at him.
Although she didn't know what had happened, they were related by blood. She and Christopher had grown up together for so many years. They could tell what each other wanted just by looking at each other.
The other party was the Godfrey family. Even without detailed investigation, Felicia could tell that Everleigh had a special relationship with the president of the Godfrey family.
At this moment, it was obvious that it was not suitable to have three families present at the scene.
After sending away his family members and Abraham, and confirming that the door of the private room was closed, Christopher walked to Everleigh and asked, "Are you alright?" Everleigh's eyes were red, and she shook her head reluctantly.
On the surface, it seemed that she was aggressive. But in fact, it was the Godfrey family who made such a scene in the first place.
Christopher stood in front of her and protected her. He glanced at the people of the Godfrey family coldly and said, "If anything happens, just come at me. Why are there so many people bullying my wife at the same time?" "Your wife? How can Everleigh be your wife?" Helen was the first to disagree and refuted immediately.
"Madam Scott, I respect you as an elder. I have tolerated you many times, but elders have to be reasonable too. Everleigh and I are a legal couple. How is she not my wife?"
After saying this, Christopher's gaze fell on Theodore, who was standing behind Helen. He snorted coldly and raised his chin with arrogance. "Theodore, I've seen people who steal other people's lovers, but it's the first time I've seen someone like you, who uses his grandmother to win over a girl. It seems like you just sit around and enjoy the fruits of others' labor."
"Mr. Meyer, you can't say such things. Everleigh's two children belong to our Godfrey family. To put it bluntly, do you even know what's going on with your marriage with Everleigh? If the Meyer family finds out about this..."
Helen had experienced many things. From the time she wanted Everleigh, she knew that she would fall out with the Meyer family sooner or later. However, for the sake of the two children and her grandson, what did she have to lose? "You..."
"Christopher," Everleigh held him back and said in a trembling voice.
His expression softened a little. "Everleigh, don't be afraid of anything. I don't believe it. What can they do now that we are in public?"
"You've helped me a lot already," she took his hand and said, "I've thought about it. They are the ones who should be ashamed, not me." "Everleigh." His expression changed.
At this moment, a lot of people were standing in the corridor of the hotel.
The relatives of the Godfrey family who attended the banquet were all gathered in front of the opposite room. The hotel managers and employees who rushed over to stop the fight were all subservient to the side, and they didn't dare to offend either side.
Everleigh eventually chose this occasion to reveal everything. Wasn't she just looking for trouble for herself?
Theodore's expression changed as well. He gritted his teeth and said, "Christopher, why don't you take her with you?"
Previously, he would never have thought that he would one day let another man take Everleigh away from him. However, at this moment, he had to admit that Christopher was much better than him in taking care of her.

Christopher had been hesitating at first, but when he heard this, his gaze suddenly turned cold. "If Everleigh wants to leave, she can leave. If not, she can stay. Theodore, you and your mother had done something wrong and you don't dare to take responsibility for what you've done, do you?"
The veins on Theodore's neck stood out. "Christopher, is this the right time to talk about this? Don't you know what consequences there will be?"
"Even if I know what the consequences are, I can still bear it with her."
"You can't bear it!"
Theodore was practically roaring when he said this.
"I don't need anyone to bear the responsibility for me. I only want the truth," Everleigh's voice was not loud, but it pulled everyone's attention back to her.
Among the onlookers, most of them were watching the scene, and there were only a few who were really anxious.
Being kept in the dark, Helen didn't know what these young people were arguing about at all. At this time, her face turned pale with anxiety. "What in the world happened?"
Her intuition told her that this matter had something to do with Everleigh going abroad alone while she was pregnant seven years ago.
She was carrying the children of the Godfrey family, and she was also the eldest daughter of the Trevino family. Logically speaking, she shouldn't have snuck away overseas to give birth by herself, nor would she break up with Theodore like that.
However, it had been too long. Even if she let the people around her investigate it, they still couldn't find out the reason. They just thought that the couple had quarreled and split up. Besides, after breaking up, Everleigh discovered that she was pregnant. Everything was an accident.
"You'll have to ask Mrs. Godfrey about this, Grandma." Everleigh was surprisingly calm and said self-deprecatingly, "If I had known about the consequences of refusing Mrs. Godfrey's request to break up with her son, I would have been more wise in my decision."
"Consequences?" Helen looked at Madison, her face already pale.

Seven years ago, Everleigh and Theodore were still young. One was still in college and the other had just graduated. What did Madison do to them?
Everleigh took a deep breath and smiled. "As I didn't agree to break up with Theodore, your daughter-in-law, Madison, had put in the effort to hire a group of people. On one rainy day, I went back to school alone. In the dark alley, I was drugged, and so many people came to tear my clothes off..."
As soon as she finished her words, the audience burst into an uproar.
Helen staggered as well, but fortunately, the butler behind her was quick enough to hold her up.
"What did you say?" Helen looked at Everleigh in disbelief and then looked at Theodore, who was beside her.
"Is it not detailed enough? Do you want me to describe the faces of those people whom I remember in detail? Or do you want me to tell you the number plate of the car parked at the entrance of the alley and let you check the relationship of them with Madison personally?"
Support? Justice?
Everleigh didn't believe it from the bottom of her heart. Now, she understood why Helen had always favored her. It was only because she had already known that Alastair and Adrienne were Theodore's children. It was all because of her children.
What if she wasn't carrying Theodore's child?
At this point of time, was there any room for her to speak?
"Slander, you are slandering me." Madison pointed at Everleigh's nose and was so angry that her face turned purple. "Are you saying that I ordered people to r*pe you? How could you act like the victim after doing such a disgusting thing? I've underestimated you!"
"Enough!" Helen suddenly raised her voice and said, "Shut up!"
Madison turned around and said, "Mom, I really..."
Slap! A loud slap could be heard in the corridor. Madison's explanation was interrupted.
Everyone gasped in shock.
