Chapter 100


    Felicia''s vicious expression caused the atmosphere to be frozen.


    "Felicia, there''s a misunderstanding," Christopher smiled apologetically, with azy look on his face.


    "Miss Bailey is our guest, not a pianist."


    Felicia didn''t look at Christopher. She sized Josephine up judgmentally, "Miss Bailey? You seem


    unfamiliar. Do we know each other?"


    These words undoubtedly humiliated Josephine.


    For the Meyer Group''s banquet, the guests were either rich or noble, but there were also people


    who tried to sneak in to get to know the rich and powerful. This was not umon.


    The surrounding guests were all watching themotion as they engaged in a flurry of discussion.


    "She snuck in, right?"


    "To be able to hook up with Mr. Meyer, she''s quite capable."


    "Didn''t you see how dark Miss Meyer''s face was? What kind of hook up is this?"


    Josephine''s face was as pale as paper. She didn''t expect that she would fall into such a humiliating


    situation just by talking to Christopher out of boredom.


    "Miss Bailey," Moses'' voice came from the crowd.


    The next second, Josephine''s eyes suddenly lit up as if she had grabbed onto herst hope.


    "Theodore."


    Theodore walked over from the back of the crowd. He was dressed in a formal suit that was neatly


    ironed, and his eyes were cold and resolute. He was especially eye-catching in the crowd, and


    Josephine''s words drew everyone''s attention to him.


    "Mr. Godfrey is here!"


    "Mr. Godfrey."


    Josephine walked down the stage, lifting her dress. She hurried over to Theodore''s side, wanting to


    affirm her identity. "Theodore, you''re finally here."


    "What''s wrong?" Theodore frowned slightly. His voice was neither soft nor heavy, revealing no


    emotions.


    Josephine couldn''t exin clearly in a word or two, and Felicia didn''t give her a chance to exin.


    She directly asked Theodore, "Mr. Godfrey, who is this?"


    Just as Theodore was about to make the introductions, his dark eyes suddenly narrowed.


    In the crowd on the right, a gracefuldy was pulling a young woman as they rushed over. The


    gracefuldy was the star of today''s banquet, Madam Collins of the Meyer Group. Almost everyone


    present knew her.


    As for the young woman, Theodore couldn''t be more familiar with her.


    Why was she here?


    Their eyes met for a moment in the air.


    Everleigh obviously saw Theodore, but she was only dazed for a moment. Then, she immediately


    turned her face and walked straight to Christopher as if she didn''t know Theodore. She asked in a


    low voice, "What''s going on?"


    Everleigh had just yed chess with Samuel and was surrounded by the elders of the Meyer family.


    She had been taught by her father, Abraham, since she was young and had a good grasp of chess.


    When she was in middle school, she had even won the National Chess Competition.


    Before they finished their game, she was pulled away by Vanessa in a hurry. Vanessa didn''t even


    exin anything, but as soon as they got downstairs, they saw such a hostile scene.


    "Theodore," Josephine said as she grabbed Theodore''s arm anxiously. Theodore came back to his


    senses when he heard her voice.


    Theodore''s gaze fell on Felicia once again. With an expressionless face, he said, "Miss Meyer, this


    is my fiancee, Josephine. I camete, thus I don''t know what''s going on."


    The crowd was enlightened. They had heard that the Godfrey Group had announced the identity of


    Theodore''s fiancee some time ago. However, she hadn''t revealed her face in public for a long time.


    "Your fiancee?" Felicia''s gaze swept across Josephine''s face. Her slightly raised chin carried an


    inexplicable sense of arrogance, as if she was mocking something; this caused Josephine to feel an


    inexplicable sense of guilt.


    Theodore''s brows furrowed.


    "It''s nothing. It''s just a misunderstanding. As Miss Bailey has a fiance like Mr. Godfrey, I think it''s


    impossible for her to be unaware of her words and deeds outside, isn''t it?"


    Felicia''s words almost made Josephine''s blood boil with anger. Her voice was as soft as a


    mosquito''s while exining timidly, "Theodore, it''s not like that. I didn''t do anything."


    "Enough," Theodore nced at the man behind Felicia and recognized him as the famous youngest


    son of the Meyer family. Hence, Theodore immediately understood what was going on.


    Josephine had no choice but to shut her mouth in a grievance.


    The butler rushed over to disperse the surrounding guests. Only Theodore, Josephine, and the


    Meyer family members were left at the scene.


    Theodore''s gaze remained fixed on Everleigh the whole time.


    She was wearing a dark gown with shoulder-length designs. It made her look especially elegant and


    her curves were especially beautiful. Her delicate corbones were so attractive that one could not


    move their eyes away from them. They were firmly grabbing the nces of every man who walked


    past her.


    "Mr. Godfrey, it''s the first time for you to meet my brother, right?" Felicia took the initiative to


    introduce Christopher. "This is my brother, Christopher. Next to him is my sister- in-w, Everleigh."


    The moment Theodore heard the words ''sisterin-w'', his brow furrowed and he suddenly stared at


    both of them.


    Everleigh was also looking at him. When she caught his gaze, she was stunned for a moment.


    While she was in a daze, she felt an arm on her shoulder and heard Christopher''s voice. "You don''t


    need to introduce her. Everleigh told me that she knows Mr. Godfrey."


    "You know each other?" Felicia nced at Everleigh in confusion.


    Christopher smiled at Theodore, "Felicia, Everleigh, and Miss Bailey were best friends. Of course,


    she knows Miss Bailey''s fiance, right?"


    As soon as his words fell, the faces of Theodore and Josephine turned a little ugly.


    Josephine, in particr, showed a ridiculous expression when she heard Felicia introduce Everleigh


    as her sister-inw. How could it be possible?


    They hadn''t seen each other for a while, but she had turned into Madam Everleigh of the Meyer


    family?


    Moreover, she could tell from Christopher''s words that he had already known her all this while. Was


    he ying with her when he teased her the whole time earlier?


    At the thought of this, her face turned paler.


    On the other side, Theodore''s eyes were as cold as ice. "Yes, I know her, but Josephine never told


    me when Miss Trevino got married after studying abroad for seven years."


    At this moment, Everleigh had calmed down.


    She hadn''t expected Theodore to bring Josephine over. Mrs. Godfrey was the one invited to the


    Meyer family''s banquet list. When she saw how close Josephine was holding onto Theodore''s arm,


    for a moment, she felt a stabbing pain in her eyes.


    In fact, he had a good life in the past seven years without her.


    Everleigh looked at Theodore with a decent smile and said gracefully, "Christopher and I married


    abroad. We didn''t hold any ceremonies because we were still studying."


    Hearing this, Theodore clenched his fists tightly. The veins on the back of his hands were about to


    pop out.

    Vanessa had always been by Everleigh''s side, but she didn''t feel anything wrong with the


    atmosphere. She smiled and said to Theodore, "Although the ceremony wasn''t held, Everleigh is


    the daughter- in-w acknowledged by the entire Meyer family. We will definitely hold a wedding


    ceremony in the future. When the timees, Mr. Godfrey, you muste and attend the wedding


    banquet with your fiancee."


    The words "daughter- in-w acknowledged by the entire Meyer family" pressed down on


    Theodore''s chest like a thousand- pound stone. The dull thumping of a drum echoed in his chest.
