Chapter 92
"I haven''t seen Felicia be so generous to somebody before."
Christopher held the key to the house with two fingers, and his words were full of jealousy. "When I
was in college, I asked her for a house to move into, and she gave me a single apartment. You are
now living in that house. She''s so stingy."
Everleigh looked at the key and felt dazzled. She immediately put the leather bag into Christopher''s
arms and said, "I don''t want this. Take it and give it back to your sister. It''s too valuable."
"It''s okay. You can take it," Christopher said calmly. "The apartment you''re living in now is too small.
You can just move in with me."
"No, I can''t."
"If you don''t want to live there, I will," Christopher threw both keys into his pocket brusquely and
said, looking sideways, "The apartment you are living in now is too small. This one''s close to
Adrienne''s school. You''d better move in there. Felicia chose this house as it''s nearer to the
children''s school and the hospital."
"There''s no need."
"Don''t refuse so quickly. There''s a reason why I told you to move over and live with me."
''What is it?'' "To keep it a secret and lower the opponent''s guard."
Everleigh was slightly stunned as she looked at Christopher.
A rare serious expression appeared on his casual face, and his eyes were a little cold. "No matter
whether Josephine did it or not that time, one thing is certain now; it has something to do with
Theodore. Everything that happened to you after you returned to Ocpeace City has something to do
with him too."
"So?"
"So now, you have topletely dissociate yourself from him. While ensuring your own safety, you
have to slowly investigate the people around him, whether it''s Josephine, Mrs. Godfrey, or anyone
else. I''ve always felt that what happened back then is not that simple."
Christopher''s words made Everleigh look more and more serious.
After calming down that day, she also felt that what happened that year was not just rted to
Josephine alone. She didn''t have the ability to n everything perfectly.
Although it was only ten minutes'' walk between the school and the hotel where they had the dinner,
it was on the most bustling street. However, she did not see a single person on her way back to
school that night. There were no street vendors, cleaners who worked in the middle of the night, or
even outcasts.
It seemed that the street had be an empty city, which was a problem that Everleigh couldn''t
figure out in these past seven years.
The person who schemed against her couldn''t just be a small fry like Josephine.
When Everleigh thought of this, she clenched her fists and said seriously, "Okay, I''ll take Adrienne
and the others and move in there."
In the evening, the sun was shining on the floor-to- ceiling windows, casting its glow upon the
grassywn.
In the dining room of the vi, the servant served thest dish. Apart from the clinking of cups,
tes and bowls, there was almost no other sound in the dining room.
The three people at the table were extremely quiet, but no one felt that anything was wrong about it.
Mrs. Godfrey took the lead in putting down her cutlery and wiped the corners of her mouth slowly.
The servant next to her quickly put away the te in front of her and poured a cup of tea for her.
"At the end of this month, there will be a birthday party for Vanessa Collins of Meyer Group. I
received the invitation, but I am going to Ivend at that time, so I can''t attend. Theodore, take
Josephine with you to the party." Josephine didn''t say anything. Her eyes were filled with
anticipation when she looked at Theodore.
Even though Theodore had already revealed her identity as his fiancee to the public, there were
only a handful of people who knew her, and she had never attended any formal asions with
Theodore.
In the banquet of Meyer Group, the Meyer family was on par with the Godfrey family in Ocpeace
City. At that time, all the aristocrats in Ocpeace City would gather together. This was the perfect
opportunity for her to open up a new prospect.
Theodore replied with a ''hmm'' and agreed.
Mrs. Godfrey nodded with satisfaction and gave Josephine a look, indicating for her to take
advantage of the opportunity.
She never thought that this daughter- in-w was a suitable match, but she was very satisfied with
what a good girl Josephine was as she had always listened to her. Therefore, she was happy to
promote the rtionship between the two of them and push Josephine to the public.
The daughter-inw of the Godfrey family must be able to withstand everyone''s scrutiny.
"I''ve finished eating. I have some business to attend to in thepany, so I''ll be leaving first,"
Theodore said as he put down his cutlery. As he stood up, he buttoned up his suit and gave Mrs.
Godfrey a slight nod with a straight face.
"Can''t you sit for a while after eating?" Mrs. Godfrey was a little unhappy. "Every time youe or
go, you''re in a hurry."
"Later, I have to go to Xavier''s ce and visit him. I heard from the doctor that he was not willing to
rehabilitate again."
At the mention of Xavier, Mrs. Godfrey frowned slightly, but it was unknown as to whether she was
upset or worried. At her age, hiding her emotions was what she did best.
Josephine and Theodore left together.
After the car left the manor for a long time, the car was very quiet. Josephine looked at Theodore''s
face and said, "When you visit Xavierter, I''ll go with you."
"No, he hasn''t been in a good moodtely and can''t see any outsiders."
"Oh, alright then."
Josephine had seen Xavier''s temper before. It was just a courtesy for her to ask him if she should
go. In fact, she didn''t want to deal with such an unstable person at all.
When she thought of the man''s gloomy eyes when she first met him, she felt all the hair on her body
stand on end and felt a chill run down her spine.

After a moment of silence, Josephine asked carefully, "About what Mom just said, for the birthday
party for Vanessa Collins of Meyer Group, you don''t want to go, do you?"
Theodore didn''t like to attend banquets. In his opinion, these were all unnecessary social
interactions. He didn''t need to rely on this kind of social interaction to maintain his business. It was
rare for him to actually attend any banquets he''d been invited to.
"If you don''t want to go, then forget about it. The doctor asked you to rest more. I''ll ask someone to
prepare a gift and send it to them in our stead. I think the Meyer family won''t mind."
Originally, Theodore didn''t want to go. He''d only promised Mrs. Godfrey because he didn''t want to
exin himself further. However, now that he saw Josephine being considerate and caring about
his own health, he felt a little apologetic.
He held Josephine''s hand and said in a calm tone, "It''s okay. You just need to prepare yourself and
attend the party with me at the end of the month. Thank you for your hard work."
"It''s not hard at all." Josephine let out a sigh of relief as a gentle smile spread across her face. "As
long as I''m with you, everything I do is not hard."
Looking at the gentle and elegant face in front of him, for some reason, Theodore subconsciously
compared her to another face. The two of them weren''t actually on the same level. That face was
beautiful, mboyant, and independent, but the one in front of him was weak, gentle, and
dependent.
Many men would be attracted to the first one, but no matter how beautiful and independent a
woman was, if she was a fickle lover, she would only be a venomous snake.
It was enough to be bitten once. He would not pursue the matter of being bitten by a venomous
snake, but he would absolutely not forgive the venomous snake.
Thinking of this, Theodore''s face darkened a little, and his dark eyes became more and more
determined.
