Chapter 193


    It was very quiet at the dining table. Theodore wasn''t usually a talkative person. He ate slowly,


    without saying a word. Since childhood, he had been taught to always be quiet by his family.


    However, because Everleigh had lost her mom very early on, the rtives and elders in her family


    were particrly tolerant of her, so she developed a free and unrestrained personality. What she


    couldn''t stand the most was a dull atmosphere.


    Thinking about the things that happened when she woke up there, she asked Theodore about it.


    "How did I end up sleeping herest night?"


    Theodore replied, "You don''t remember?"


    Everleigh shook her head and said with hesitation, "I didn''t drink any alcohol."


    "Then what''s thest thing you remember?"


    "Last thing I remember?"


    Everleigh thought about it carefully and said, "I remember that I sent a waitress to the lounge. She


    sprained her ankle and then I sat with her for a while. Later..."


    After that, she felt as if she had fallen asleep. Then, she could not recall what had happened after


    that at all.


    Theodore was deep in thought. His cool and calm expression darkened slightly and his brows


    furrowed.


    Everleigh asked carefully, "So... What''s going on?"


    "Nothing, don''t you remember? You fell asleep."


    "Is that so?" Everleigh looked at Theodore suspiciously. She felt that something wasn''t quite right.


    If she had really only fallen asleep, she wouldn''t have been this deep asleep.


    She wanted to ask more, but Theodore''s phone suddenly rang. Hence, she had no choice but to


    swallow her words. Since Cecil was there the previous night, Everleigh had to ask her why she left


    her there alone.


    Theodore went to the living room to answer the call; he deliberately walked a little further away.


    "Hello?"


    "Mr. Godfrey," Moses'' voice came from the other end of the line. "Last night''s surveince footage


    was destroyed by someone. We can''t find out who took Dr. Trevino and Mr. Allen to the room, but


    we can confirm that Mr. Allen was indeed drugged. The initial results of the blood test havee


    out."


    "What is it?"


    "It''s a kind of knockout powder, which is verymon on the ck market. Generally speaking,


    after taking it, one will be unconscious for a long time. Mr. Allen had a small dosage, so he woke up


    early. As for Dr. Trevino... She didn''t have a blood test, so we don''t know how much she had taken."


    Upon hearing this, Theodore looked in the direction of the dining hall.


    Through the ss door, he could see Everleigh''s back. She was eating intently,pletely unaware


    of what had happened the night before.


    Thinking back to how she hadn''t woken up the whole night, Theodore said, "There''s no need for


    blood tests anymore. She had probably taken quite a bit of it. Are there any side effects?"


    "I don''t think so."


    "Then that''s fine. Is it confirmed that the surveince footage can''t be recovered?"


    Moses'' tone was very cautious. "The camera was broken, so it couldn''t record anything.


    Thus, nothing can be recovered."


    Theodore''s brows furrowed slightly, and his eyes turned cold. "Check out the names of all the


    participants fromst night, especially the waitresses."


    The other party was stunned for a moment. "All of them?"


    For the sake of Helen''s health, only the rtives of the Godfrey family were invited to the banquet.


    However, there were so many people in the family, and if they included the waiters and waitresses,


    then it was like looking for a needle in a haystack.


    Theodore didn''t say anything, but the chill seemed to be transmitted through the line. Moses felt it


    on the other end of the phone and he quickly responded, "Yes, I''ll go check it out right away."


    After breakfast, the ck Mercedes-Benz left Swallow Manor.


    On the first floor of the main vi of Swallow Manor, a pair of binocrs witnessed everything.


    "Madam, it''s time to have breakfast," Helen''s butler, Owen, told her. She put down her binocrs


    and happily sat down.


    "What did I say? The marriage between


    Belonging to N?velDrama.Org.


    Theodore and the Bailey family will definitely not happen."


    Owen, who was carefully arranging the food at the side, also smiled when he heard this. "How can


    you be so sure? At the birthday banquet yesterday, Mr. Theodore didn''t say anything, and Miss


    Bailey also came. She even came as his fiancee."


    Hearing this, Helen curled her lips, and her face was full of contempt and disdain. "Come on, what


    kind of fiancee is she? Furthermore, the engagement ceremony has not been held, and she doesn''t


    even have an engagement ring. She only said it verbally. Moreover, Theodore''s mother discussed it


    with the Bailey family over a meal when I was not in Ocpeace City."


    When it came to this, Helen''s face was full of dissatisfaction.


    Owen consoled her. "She''s Mr. Theodore''s mother, after all. She has the right to make the decision


    regarding his marriage. Besides, Mr. Theodore didn''t object at that time, did he?"


    "That was then, but now, it''s different."


    Helen said with a smile, "Didn''t you hear what Lily said just now? How they had breakfast together


    early in the morning, and how harmonious it was? This is the way to live life. What was he doing


    with the one from the Bailey family?"


    Helen didn''t like Josephine, so she couldn''t find any likeable thing about her.


    Owen said helplessly, "But it''s hard to deal with this matter. He can''t break off the engagement with


    the Bailey family for no reason."


    "What''s so hard about it?" Helen''s eyes darkened and her weather-beaten face was calm and


    unruffled. "What happenedst night must have had something to do with her. Get someone to keep


    an eye on her; you don''t have to say anything to her. When the timees, send everything she


    did to her father."


    Simrly, the Bailey family wanted to curry favor with the Godfrey family. However, Josephine''s


    father was not as bold as his daughter. Once he knew what his daughter had done, he would be


    scared out of his wits. How would he dare to mention the engagement again?


    Owen nodded and said with a sigh, "I haven''t seen you care so much about something in many


    years."


    "Is that so?" Helen asked nomittally.


    "Since the incident from years ago, you have almost never interfered in these matters at home..."


    When he mentioned what happened 20 years ago, Helen''s expression became a little gloomy.


    Upon seeing that, Owen knew he had made an inappropriate remark. "I shouldn''t have said so


    much."


    However, Helen just frowned. After a moment of silence, she said, "It''s a pity that she has not fought


    for it in so many years. She also camest night, but most of the guests didn''t know that she was


    here. She is quite sensible."


    Hearing this, Owen was stunned for a while before he realized who Helen was talking about.


    "I''ve always heard that she''s a good-tempered person. If it wasn''t for her child, she wouldn''t have


    acted like that this time. It''s really because you''ve been giving in to Madison all these years and


    she''s be a little bit more arrogant."


    "The child''s health has always been poor, hasn''t it?"


    "Yes, congenital heart disease. Although it''s not serious, one has to take good care of it."


    Helen thought of something and said, "Go find the experts at home and abroad to see if it can be


    cured. It''s almost the holiday season, so ask someone to send something to the child."


    Owen was stunned for a moment, and then he said, "You mean..."


    This was more than merely sending a gift.


    For so many years, Helen had not treated Yvonne well, which made all the people in Ocpeace City


    think that Madison was the Mrs. of the Godfrey family. Now, it seemed like everything was going to


    change.
