Chapter 123


    There were a lot of outpatients in the hospital during noon time. Everleigh''s schedule had been


    packed since she returned.


    During the interval between patients, Everleigh told the nurse next to her, "Jenny, kindly inform the


    registration office that all patients need to be verified by their real names. I am afraid that someone


    might pull something funny."


    "Yes, there seems to be many cases recently."


    "Yes, the medical director will have a meetingter to talk about this. Let''s not be an example


    for him to use."


    "Okay."


    After a busy afternoon, Everleigh took the interns on her rounds and checked on some of their work.


    By the time she remembered to check the time, it was almost nine o''clock.


    The apartment was not far from the hospital. It was a good location. If it wasn''t for the fact that she


    was a girl who had just graduated from college, Everleigh would not rent the apartment to her at


    one-third of the market price.


    After her car was parked below the apartment, Everleigh called the tenant, Lisa.


    "Sorry, the number you dialed is not avable. Please try againter..."


    She made two consecutive phone calls, but no one answered. She also sent her text messages, but


    there was no reply either.


    Everleigh looked upstairs and suddenly felt a little worried. She then drove her car straight into the


    building.


    She received a text message from Lisa in the afternoon when she was at the hospital. She said that


    she would be home at night.


    The elevator reached the floor and the door of the elevator opened slowly after the "ding". Everleigh


    walked out. She had only taken two steps when she saw what was before her. Her face suddenly


    tensed up and she scolded, "What are you doing?"


    Three middle- sized men sprayed paint on the walls and door of her small apartment. The white


    walls were covered with blood-red paint. At first nce, it was very hideous.


    "It''s none of your business. Stay away. Have you not seen creditors collecting their debts before?"


    The leader of the group, Brock, looked slightly stronger. He warned Everleigh not to meddle in their


    business.


    "Creditors?" Everleigh was very angry. "The girl inside this apartment is a recent graduate. Does


    she owe you money?"


    "A recent graduate?" The men looked at each other and muttered, "Are we at the wrong unit?"


    "No, the unit number is correct. It''s this one."


    "Howe she said it''s a recent graduate? Wasn''t she someone who has two children?" The three


    men did not look very bright. They started discussing the matter with Everleigh present. They


    scratched their heads and were very puzzled.


    Everleigh immediately became alert when she heard ''someone who has two children''.


    They are not looking for Lisa. They were looking for her.


    "Who sent you here?" She touched the phone in her pocket, pressed the emergency rm button


    and took two steps back while dialing, keeping a safe distance from them.


    Their conversation was interrupted by Everleigh, "Who are you? What are you doing here?"


    "I''m telling you, the girl who lives here now is not the one that you''re looking for. The person you are


    looking for moved away."

    "Where did she move to?"


    "She is not in Ocpeace City anymore."


    "Not in Ocpeace City anymore?" The three men looked at each other. Brock snorted, "You seem to


    know a lot. Not in Ocpeace City anymore? Do you think we are fools?"


    "Stop, don''t move, I''ve already called the police," Everleigh took out her phone from her pocket and


    answered in front of the three men, "Hello, this is Block A, Riverbay Road, Century Garden. Three


    men are threatening..."


    "B*tch, how dare you call the police!"


    The three men came straight towards her.


    Everleigh stepped back hurriedly and lost her footing. She screamed as her phone fell from her


    hand andnded at their feet.


    "Don''te any closer!" Everleigh leaned against the wall and upied the position opposite of the


    apartment''s surveince cameras. "There are security cameras here. As soon as the security guard


    sees something wrong, he wille over in three minutes. You can''t run away even if you wanted


    to."


    "Oh, you are Everleigh Trevino, aren''t you?" Brock stood less than one meter away from her and


    looked at her with a dark expression. "It is only right to pay off your debts. Even if you call the


    police, it wouldn''t make a difference."


    "Who do I owe money to?"


    "You don''t owe me money, but you owe someone else. We are reasonable people. We are only


    here because we were entrusted by someone else to collect the debt. You see, these are part of the


    protocol. If you pay us the money, then we can call it a day!"


    "Nonsense! I have never owed anyone money. Who are you talking about?"


    "The Godfrey Group."


    "What?" Everleigh was stunned. "The Godfrey family?"


    "Ring any bells?"


    Everleigh gritted his teeth. It was the Godfrey family again.


    "Bah!" She spat fiercely, took out a bottle of pepper spray from her bag and sprayed it at Brock.


    Brock let out a loud scream and covered his eyes.


    "Brock, are you okay?"


    "You b*tch!"


    One of the men held Brock, while the other tried to throw his fist at Everleigh.


    "Ah..."


    Everleigh screamed and raised her hands to cover her face. There was a loud noise in her ears and


    she could not hear anything.


    With a "ding", the elevator door behind her opened and she was quickly pulled into an embrace.


    She staggered and her cheeks bumped into a broad chest. She did not feel the pain from the


    punch.


    "Ah!" The man''s miserable shrieks echoed in the corridor.


    Everleigh came to her senses and lowered her hands from her head. Only then did she see that the


    man who tried to punch her was on the ground and he held his waist in pain.


    She turned her head and instantly saw a familiar face above her head.


    Theodore.


    "Young... Young Master," one of the three men, who was not injured, suddenly shouted these two


    words at Theodore.


    Everleigh''s heart tightened and her expression changed immediately. After breaking free from his


    embrace, she looked at Theodore warily, "Did you send these people?"


    Theodore, who had just arrived, was confused as well. He asked, "What do you mean I sent them?"


    "They called you ''young master''." Everleigh pointed at the two men on the ground with ghastly pale


    faces. "They sprayed paint all over my apartment and told me that I owe them money. Theodore,


    how big of a grudge are you holding against me? Why are you doing this to me?"


    "I told you, I don''t know what''s going on." Theodore frowned and shouted at the people, "Do I know


    you? Who ordered you toe?"


    Everleigh stood aside with her arms crossed. With a cold face, she looked like she was watching a


    boring y that she had seen before with a cold sneer.


    The only man who was not injured was obviously frightened. His legs went weak and he knelt on


    the ground. "Young Master, you don''t know us, but, but... but Madam ordered us toe and she...


    she said that she wanted us to find a way to drive this woman named Everleigh out of Ocpeace


    City."


    Theodore was very surprised when he heard the word ''madam'' while Everleigh seemed to have


    guessed it. She sneered and her eyes darkened.
