Said I didn't Love Him But I Lied

Chapter 425 Here Comes the Troublemakers Theodore's eyes dimmed a little. Ever since Everleigh got together with him, she had never lived through a day comfortably, and now, things got even worse. He had almost ruined her reputation as a doctor.

"Just focus on the investigation, I'll be fine." Her gentle and comforting voice echoed in his ears.

She knew what was in his mind.

Sometimes, when two people were together, they could still read each other's thoughts without saying much. They were the best example.

She rested at hfor the whole day. In the evening, it began to rain. Looking at the misty sky, she felt really uneasy.

Adrienne and Alastair seemed to have sensed her discomfort, so they didn't dare to speak.

Abraham who was sitting on the sofa said, "Are you worried that something bad might happen?" "There's this bad feeling in my heart, I just can't get rid of it," she said with a dull face. For the whole day, she hadn't received a text from Theodore.

She was really worried.

The matter was rather serious. It would be great if it could be settled privately, but if things got out of hand, it would be really troublesome.

The night gradually fell, and the message she had sent to Theodore was like a rock sinking into the sea. There wasn't any reply at all.

She couldn't rest well for the whole night. Instead, she listened to the pitter-patter of the rain outside. Her heart was trembling like the raindrops dripping on the roof, and the uneasiness in her heart was getting really strong. Her eyelids were twitching the entire time.

It wasn't until dawn that she could finally close her eyes and sleep.

When she woke up, it was already past eight o'clock. She felt a little hungry and went downstairs. Before she walked down the stairs, she saw Abraham resting on the sofa, watching the news on the television. The news reported that a group of people were protesting outside Theodore's company. They were the family members of the deceased.

Crying and shouting sounds were constantly coming out from the TV, "Giveback my son's life! He was still so young! Do you think you can solve this problem with money?" Sof them were even holding banners at the entrance of the company.

Reporters were swarming forward, trying to capture the expression of the victim's family.

Everleigh leaned on the stairs railing and clenched it tightly. Her face was turning pale.

"Miss Trevino." Hilda walked out with a cup of tea and was shocked to see her.

Abraham quickly turned around as he heard her name. He glanced at Everleigh who looked anxious and said softly, "Cand sit down with me." Her eyes stared straight at the TV without even blinking.

On the television, Theodore walked out of the company, exuding the aura of a true leader. His deep gaze was ice-cold as he looked at the old lady sobbing in front of him.

The reporters were taking a bunch of photos, but none of them dared to step near him.

He walked over and looked down at the woman who was wailing on the floor. He sneered, "When your late son volunteered to participate in the trial, he signed an agreement with us, and it's legal and legitimate. What are you trying to achieve by crying over here?" "It's impossible! If he did sign a contract, why don't you show it to us? Do you really think that you can compensate us just by giving us smoney?" His expression turned even colder when he heard her words. "Well, if that's the case, you don't want the money, you just want your son back, right?" "I..." The old woman choked on her words.

Everyone knew that nothing else could be done besides financial compensation after a person had died. Now that the incident had beca big deal, even if Theodore wasn't affected, he might not compensate the family anymore.

His eyes narrowed as the corners of his mouth curled into a smirk. "Madam, feel free to sue me, but if you dare slander me, I won't let you go so easily. Since all the reporters are here today, letmake an announcement. I'll be holding a press conference in three days to explain everything in detail. As for you, I won't give you any money for now." After finishing his sentence, he stood there tall and straight.

After his eyes swept through every single person that was present, he turned around and walked back in.

When the reporters saw him entering the building, they wanted to follow him in to ask more questions, but were stopped by the security guards.

The old lady and the other family members continued crying badly. No one knew if they were crying because of the volunteer, or because of the money. Abraham grabbed the remote control on the table and turned off the TV. He then looked over at Everleigh and asked, "What are your thoughts on this?" "Since Theodore will surely treat her well, the old lady has no reason to cause a scene. Plus, does she have no idea that every volunteer must sign an agreement?" Everleigh frowned. She noticed that there was something odd with that woman. Especially after Theodore mentioned that he wouldn't give her the money, the old lady was just startled and didn't seem to be agitated at all. Logically speaking, she should've been very nervous or distressed. After all, it was a rather huge amount of money.

Abraham smiled and said, "It seems that you've finally understood everything." "I must really thank Theodore for the books that he has previously given me. A few of them are about psychology." She breathed a slight sigh of relief, and a faintly noticeable smile appeared on her face.

That old lady was the breakthrough that they needed.

"The weather today is quite nice. Why don't you go out for a walk?" He looked at the clear blue sky; chirping sounds of birds could be heard.

The sky was exceptionally blue after the rain, and she felt much better.

She looked out the window and figured that she should really go out for a stroll. She went upstairs, dressed up and was ready to go out.

Abraham, on the other hand, was enjoying his tea at home, all alone.

"Dad, aren't you going to the company today?"

Just a heads up: is the only place to read the complete version of this book for free. Don't miss out on the now next chapter-visit us now and continue your journey! "Nope. Alastair handled all the matters in the company yesterday." When Abraham talked about his grandson, his eyes were filled with love. That child was indeed a promising talent. With him around, Abraham felt much more relaxed.

Everleigh didn't have much thoughts when she heard about it, though she was delighted to hear that her son was capable.

After she left home, she took her phone out and called Felicia.

Felicia wasn't surprised to receive her call. She sounded indifferent as usual, "What do you needto investigate?" "How do you know?" "The news about Theodore was broadcasted live, so of course I saw it." Everleigh's face becserious. She had a sudden feeling that Felicia was unfathomable.

"Can you helpinvestigate the old lady's background? Also, can you check on the people who have been in contact with her recently?" "I can give you all the details by tonight. I've already sent my men out." Felicia's calm voice cfrom the other end of the line.

Everleigh once again concluded that Felicia was exceptionally intelligent. Not only did she expect the phone cal, she had already started the investigation. It wasn't a surprise that Christopher was so afraid of his two sisters that his heart would shiver whenever they spoke to him.

"Well, you don't have to worry. Even you are finding it suspicious, so Theodore must have surely thought about it too." Everleigh knew that he would definitely discover it, but she just wanted to help him out.

Felicia could more or less guess what she was thinking about, and she felt rather uncomfortable. Was she helping Everleigh cheat on her brother? She pondered. Although, she admired her quite a lot.
