Chapter 404 She Looks Like Her Mother Adrienne hoped that Everleigh could go with them. That way, she could have someone to talk to when she was bored.
"I need to go to work today, so you guys have fun with Grandpa. Don't make a fuss and listen to him, okay?" Adrienne pouted. Every tthey went out, her mother would say the sthing. She had heard it so many times that her ears were going to be callused.
"I know, Mommy. Do you have to say that every time?" Everleigh licked her lips and said nothing, knowing that Adrienne was impatient.
"Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on them. You don't need to nag." Abraham had heard enough of those words as well. If they kept on talking, it would be a waste of time. Seeing that he was getting agitated, she did not say anything more.
In the hospital, Everleigh was busy as usual. Soon, the day had passed. When it was almost tto get off work, her calm heart began to feel irritated.
Just as she was about to leave, she received a call from Alexander.
"Are you ready?" "Must I go?" She asked helplessly.
He chuckled and said, "Don't worry. I'll be there, and I'll make sure you don't have a hard time." She figured that he was right. If someone made things difficult for her, she would not tolerate it either. With that in mind, she asked him to cand pick her up.
"I'm already here. Cout, I'll bring you to get a change of clothes." He had already arranged everything. Everleigh did not say anything, but she knew that no matter what reason she cup with, he would definitely find a way to bring her to the gathering.
As soon as she walked out of the hospital, she saw Alexander standing on the left, dressed in a suit and leather shoes. His handsface showed no trace of impatience. "You must've waited long." She called out as she walked over.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe turned to look at her with a smile on his face, "Not at all, let's go." She smiled and followed him into the car.
However, they did not notice the pair of eyes in the car on the side of the road, watching them like an eagle. Even when they disappeared from the entrance, the gaze did not waver.
Moses, who was sitting in the driver's seat, wiped the cold sweat on his forehead with a tissue. What was Miss Trevino doing? Why did she get into another man's car? Furthermore, the man she left with did not seem like an ordinary person.
Could Miss Trevino be two-timing? Theodore retracted his gaze and ordered coldly, "Find out who that man is." "Mr. Godfrey, Miss Trevino is not the kind of person who would cheat," Moses said cautiously.
Theodore gave him a sharp glare, causing Moses' entire body to tremble. "I'll investigate it right away." Theodore's face darkened as he lowered his gaze.
He trusted Everleigh, but that man looked familiar, and he felt that he had seen him somewhere before. Meanwhile, Alexander brought Everleigh to a boutique. She chose a black dress which resembled a less extravagant version of an evening gown.
The shade of black made her fair skin appear even more delicate and pure.
Her hair was tied up casually, and her nobility instantly showed.
He looked at her, and an image of his aunt appeared in his mind. She had shown the sexpression back then. With Everleigh's appearance, no one would believe her even if she said that she was not part of the Jenkins family. "Do I look okay?" "Yes, you look very beautiful." He did not hesitate to compliment her.
He was just telling the truth.
She knew that he would not lie, so she felt a little uncomfortable.
The two of them got into the car and set off for the Jenkins Manor. Everleigh was nervous.
"Are the Jenkins' easy to get along with?" Her voice piped up in the quiet car.
She knew that her question was rather sudden, but Abraham and Cecil's words from the night before were still echoing in her ears.
Alexander's hands clenched the steering wheel unconsciously, and there was a glimmer of light in his eyes. "Luqman and Yeezoo are our uncles. No matter what they say later, don't take them to heart, okay?" He said gently, with a little of worry laced in his voice. Everleigh simply laughed and said nothing. Sure enough, the struggles of the rich were not much better than that of a regular person.
After that, the two of them were silent all the way to the Jenkins Manor.
When they walked in, the people in the living room all cast their eyes towards her.
Out of the lot, two people in particular widened their eyes as soon as they saw Everleigh, as if they had seen someone they should not be seeing.
She took in each of their expressions and displayed a flawless smile.
When Saniogo saw her, he quickly walked over and took her hand. His eyes were slightly red. "Yasmine, are you tired?" "I'm not tired. There weren't many patients today." Everleigh could see his concern for her.
With an uncle like him, she did not feel too upset.
Saniogo nodded and gave her hand a gentle pat. "Chere, I'll introduce you to your other uncles and aunts." She followed him in.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe saw several people sitting on the sofa. They all looked similar to Saniogo; the only difference was that one of them had a fierce look, while the other had bleary eyes with dark circles. As she thought about it, she concluded that it was caused by a high libido.
She understood then why the Jenkins family had left Saniogo in charge.
Neither of them were suitable for business. "These are your uncles, Yeezoo and Luqman." "Hello, Uncles." Everleigh called out softly.
Both of them nodded, but remained silent.
Saniogo frowned slightly, somewhat dissatisfied with their attitude. "This is Melissa, Yeezoo's wife, and your cousin, Cynthia. This is Luqman's wife, Fenna, and this is your other cousin, Linggon." "Hello, nice to meet all of you." "Nice to meet you too." Cynthia responded with a smile. Her voice was sweet, but jealousy flashed across her eyes.
Everleigh saw it clearly. It seemed that she was not very welcthere.
"Hello, Yasmine," Linggon said with a polite smile. He then fell silent.
Melissa looked at her and smiled, "She looks a little like Lillian. Saniogo, are you sure she's a Jenkins?"
Everleigh turned her gaze to her Aunt Melissa. Her makeup was dignified, and she was attractive for her age. However, her words were rather artful, and they overshadowed whatever good personality she had.
Saniogo knew that they would complain because he had found Yasmine.
"I've been investigating it since Welment had the accident. I found Yasmine a few years ago, but oun family was unstable then, so i couldn't bring her in. Now that the storm has passed, I'm acknowledging her as one of us.
What's wrong with that?" His voice was neither haughty not humble. Instead, there was an air of splendor to it.
"Uncle, you're right. It's not wrong to acknowledge her, but let's just hope that you aren't mistaken. After all, the Jenkins family is a part of the Four Greatest Households. If someone was to have any bad intentions, wouldn't it be like letting the fox guard the henhouse?" Cynthia's sweet voice rang out. It was very comfortable to listen to, but the last sentence was deliberately directed at Everleigh. Everleigh remained silent the entire time.
