Deep Love Hidden From Him

Chapter 468

Everleigh nodded. She didn't deny it.

She was waiting for the police officers to enter exactly after she had finished saying everything.

"Everleigh, do you really want to do this?"

"Uncle Saniogo, are you trying to protect her?" She asked in return.

"No, it's normal to be punished for doing something wrong. I guess you're tired too, so you should go back and rest." His gaze darkened as he stood up and left the dining table immediately.

Seeing that he had left, Luqman thought that there was no point in staying any longer.

Hence, he and his family left.

Alexander patted Everleigh on her shoulder and said, "Don't worry, my dad isn't angry."

"Alexander, forgive me for saying this, but should I put up with all of Cynthia's nonsense just because she's a child of the Jenkins family, and everyone is trying to protect her? Even when I chose to call the police and settle the matter legally, I'm still at fault. Is it just because she's the daughter of the Jenkins family?"

She had finally experienced the relationship within the Jenkins family.

They would do everything to protect their own people.

He lowered his head. "Everleigh, don't think too much. My dad will never be biased and unfair. The last thing he wants is for a strife to happen within the Jenkins family."

"Alexander, it's not that I want to cause trouble. If Cynthia didn't provoke me, I wouldn't have done this today," she replied in a low tone.

She didn't want to make a big deal out of it, but Cynthia's behavior was really intolerable. If Everleigh didn't do something about it, she wouldn't learn her lesson.

When Everleigh returned to the Trevino family's home, she went straight to bed. It was a really exhausting night.

When she woke up the next morning, she received a call from Theodore. He told her that he wanted to do something about Cynthia's incident.

"What are you going to do?"

"Yeezoo has already sent someone to bail his daughter, and he even wants to use his connections to settle the problem in private."

She wasn't surprised. She had expected it to happen. Yeezoo loved his daughter so much, so it was only logical for him to try and save her.

"Even if she is jailed, it will only last for a few months. Are his actions really necessary? Although, once this matter is exposed, let's see who will suffer," Everleigh said.

"He'll suffer for sure, but if I post it online, the public will definitely show great reaction."

She was stunned. "But if you do this, the Jenkins family will..."

"Don't worry, I bet Saniogo will be furious to find out that Yeezoo has done such a thing. Besides, do you think that Alexander will really let her go that easily?" Theodore had no idea at first, but when he started investigating, he noticed that Alexander had also made a move to make sure that Cynthia wouldn't be released.

People like Cynthia really deserved to be taught a lesson.

Thinking back to Alexander's reactions the night before, she didn't say much.

As expected, the whole internet was talking about the matter after it was published online, though everyone was focusing more on Everleigh. Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.

Saniogo was very angry when he saw it, and he gave Yeezoo a call directly. "What's wrong with you? Are you worried that not enough shame is being brought on the Jenkins family?"

Yeezoo's anger flared up as well. "Cynthia is my daughter. How can I bare to see her suffering in prison for months?"

"Yeezoo, aren't you responsible for what Cynthia has become today? She's just too arrogant. She needs to spend some time in there to think about what she has done wrong."

Saniogo was infuriated too.

Alexander had told him the whole story the night before. Everleigh didn't want to harm her; she just wanted her to be locked up for some time to repent. Who knew that Yeezoo was completely out of his mind. He hadn't considered the fact that his actions would affect the reputation of the family badly if they were exposed. If he was found guilty of bribery and perverting the course of justice, he would be in deep trouble.

Even though Saniogo had advised him to give up, Yeezoo was still stubborn, and was determined to find a way to save Cynthia.

He wanted to stick to his plan.

Saniogo was so enraged. He had no choice but to warn Yeezoo that he would definitely not help him clean up the mess no matter how serious things would become.

Theodore had been keeping an eye on Yeezoo the entire time. He received the news as soon as he bribed a police inspector with some money.

In the end, Yeezoo wasn't the only person to be arrested, but the high-ranking police officer was arrested as well.

Melissa had no choice but to approach Saniogo. She sobbed while saying, "Saniogo... Yeezoo is your brother... Can you please help him one last time?"

Sitting in his office and listening to her crying, he felt very irritated.

"Saniogo..." She wasn't planning to give up and continued asking. However, he was still firm with his decision.

Perhaps she noticed that he was determined, so she shouted angrily, "Saniogo, you're a heartless man!"

He then shot her a cold glance. "I'm heartless? What about the two of you? Things weren't even that serious in the first place. You're the ones who dug your own graves, and now you're blaming others for it?"

Melissa became even angrier after listening to his words. "We're doing everything for the Jenkins family!"

"Don't use the family as an excuse. I know what the two of you have been scheming." Saniogo's bright eyes were cold, and he wasn't bothered by her words at all.

Her face stiffened. She was lost for words, and stood there like a statue.

He had always known that Yeezoo was planning to snatch away Everleigh's shares. If Alexander hadn't tried to contain it, Everleigh would have found out about it long ago.

Although he knew that she wouldn't mind, the shares were earned by Welment through blood, sweat and tears. There was no reason to just hand it over to Yeezoo.

Saniogo knew that he could've prevented it from happening, but Everleigh was right. Some people just had to be punished after committing mistakes, otherwise they would never know the bad deeds that they had done.

This time, he had to teach them a lesson.

Melissa rolled her eyes. "Saniogo, no matter how bad and evil Yeezoo is, he's still your brother after all."

"You don't have to say anything else. I've advised him before, but he didn't listen to me. I can't control him, and I'll never control him ever again. If you have the ability, go ahead and pull him out of the situation. If not, then get out. Stop whining over here."

Her crying stopped abruptly, and her tears were stuck in her throat.

He knew that she wouldn't give up easily, so he directly asked the security guards to drag her out.

She was free to do whatever she wanted to after that.

After Everleigh saw the news, she didn't have much feelings about it. She had already resumed her duties, and was working at the hospital.

Christopher poured her a cup of tea. "Your eldest uncle is really efficient."

"What do you want to say again?”

"Nothing, it's just a random thought. Being righteous against his own family members must be really painful. Maybe you should comfort him?" He kindly reminded her.

She didn't refuse. She hadn't seen Saniogo ever since Cynthia was taken away by the police. She figured that it was time for her to go and visit him.

In the afternoon, she went to Theodore's company as they had a lunch date. In fact, she knew that he just wanted to comfort her.

The two of them arrived at the restaurant. Theodore was cutting her steak for her as he said, "Try it. They say it tastes really good."

"Thank you."

"Actually, we don't have to be so polite to each other." He didn't want to hear such words.

She laughed. "I demand you pass me the salad!" She tried to act rudely as a joke.

He then gave her a faint smile in agreement.
