Deep Love Hidden From Him

Chapter 452

Benedict was even happier when he heard that the mayor would be there. Now, Everleigh was representing the hospital and she was their hope to bring up their reputation.

They couldn't break it down even if they wanted to.

"Then you'd better go there quickly and not let others wait," Benedict urged. People who didn't know might think that he was the one who was going to meet the mayor.

Everleigh looked at him in disbelief.

He was the dean of the hospital, and it was just too obvious that he was flattering her.

After Everleigh and Theodore left, she couldn't help but ask, "Why was Mr. Lawson so aggressive about it?"

"The machine is going to be implemented in this place so he's definitely going to benefit the most. Apart from here, no other hospitals have this machine," he explained. Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

She understood. The more rare an item, the more valuable it was. She understood his thoughts. No wonder he was so polite to her.

The two of them returned to the company and waited for the arrival of the mayor.

Moses said that they had arrived downstairs and several people had gone out to welcome Talbot.

He led a few people in from the main entrance, and Theodore walked in from the opposite direction. "Congratulations, Mr. Godfrey. Your research was a success."

"Thank you for your praise, Mr. Drake. This way please," Theodore gestured. Talbot nodded and followed him to the office.

Walking into the office, Talbot looked at the decoration inside and found that it looked a little abnormal.

"You guys go and test the machine. I have something to discuss with Mr. Godfrey," he turned and said.

The people behind him nodded and followed Moses out for the inspection.

Only Talbot, Theodore, and Everleigh were left in the office.

Talbot sat on the sofa and turned to look at Everleigh with a faint smile. "Miss Trevino, you are still as elegant as ever even after a few years."

"Have you seen me before?" She asked despite knowing his answer.

He chuckled and replied, "Previously, I knew Theodore had a girlfriend and asked him to introduce you to me. He refused unfortunately, so we missed the chance to meet the last time."

Her gaze fell on Theodore. He, on the other hand, was expressionless. There was no shame on his face at all. "Talbot was young and promising. What if you abandon me after I introduce you to him?"

Upon hearing this, Talbot spat out the tea in his mouth. He coughed for a long time before he regained his composure.

"Theodore, do you not trust me, or do you not trust her?"

Theodore didn't find anything inappropriate about what he just said.

She was very surprised too. How could she not know that he would have such a thought?

Was it because of that reason, or didn't he want to introduce her to the mayor?

That reason really made her speechless.

Talbot was very helpless too. Fortunately, he had been in this field for so many years, so he wasn't bothered much about it.

"I'm here today not only to see the results of your research, but also to talk about Wilson."

"He came to you to find out more about me, and whether our relationship is worth deliberating or not."

"Well, you've faced a lot of troubles here and there," Talbot answered with a smirk, but his eyes were cold.

Theodore pursed his lips and remained silent.

He didn't seem to care at all.

Instead, Everleigh was curious. Why did she feel that Talbot seemed to be gloating over his misfortune?

Not long after, the men who had been sent came back and said respectfully, "Mr. Drake, the inspection has been completed."

"Okay, then let's go back. This is a new company. There will be many opportunities for us to meet in the future."

"Thank you, Mr. Drake, for thinking highly of us. I won't disappoint you," Theodore replied in a deep voice. His tone felt distant, as if they only met by chance.

It was completely different from what the public said.

Everleigh stood behind him and said nothing.

She finally understood. Wasn't the mayor just using this as an excuse to tell Theodore that Wilson had come to look for him? Also, why did she think that Wilson had other motives when he went to see Talbot?

Talbot's arrival, of course, was in the headlines of the news. He paid most attention to the new company. It was also the key to prevent the wastage of talented people.

It was also because of this that everyone had more speculations about him.

No one knew if the two really knew each other. They were all confused.

After Talbot left, he wanted Everleigh's machine to be mass produced. The authorities would help them promote it and even included it in their official certification.

This was an honor that many companies could not get.

Wilson was very angry when he heard about it. He was furious even though he was in the company.

Xavier looked at him and couldn't help but teased him, "That's my brother. No wonder he is so strong and stable in his current position. Mr. Godfrey's insight is really admirable."

"Shut up."

"There's no need to be angry. This is a fact that no one can change," Xavier said. He ignored the anger on Wilson's face; he wasn't scared at all.

He suddenly realized that it would be fun to keep fighting with him like this. Wouldn't it be even better if he was to die of anger one day?

"What's there to be proud of? What did you accomplish now that you're in this position?"

"I don't need any accomplishment. It doesn't matter to me as long as the Godfrey family doesn't go bankrupt. What I have to do is to keep an eye on you."

"Hmph, what's different between you and Theodore is that he won't give up. You only suffered from a setback and turned out like this. Xavier, you're really a good-for-nothing." Wilson's words pierced his heart directly.

Xavier gripped the handle of his wheelchair tightly. His gaze was sharp like a hawk's eye, but his face was expressionless.

"I'm not living for the sake of the Godfrey family, but for you. As long as you die, I'll be at ease."

"Unfilial son, how dare you say that about your father?"

"It's not just me. Even Hansen and Loraine are the same." Xavier threw those words out and turned to leave.

Wilson stared at him with hatred as if he could burn a hole in his face.

In the following days, Xavier specially dealt with

Wilson's right- hand man. Everyone in Godfrey Group felt insecure and was afraid that they would become the next person to be fired.

Wilson couldn't take it anymore. He came to his office and questioned, "Xavier, how dare you!"

"I've always been very bold. It's not your first day seeing me, is it?"

"You... Why did you fire Shaney?"

"Because she is your lover. If I don't fire her, who else can I fire?"

Wilson's face darkened. "What are you talking about? She's my friend's daughter. How can she become so dirty in your eyes?"

Xavier picked up the documents on the table and said casually, Tve seen many dirty things. Why? Do you still want me to demonstrate it again?"

Wilson was so angry. He thought this brat deserved to get a beating.

"Don't look at me like that. In your heart, you still fantasize about the Godfrey family. Otherwise, why would you interfere with Godfrey Group and mess with it?" Xavier knew how angry Wilson was but it was none of his business. The only thing he needed to do was to let him know what the feeling of pain was.

Everleigh was still living a busy life everyday, but the only thing that she didn't want to see was Selena spending the whole day talking on the phone.
