Chapter 272


    Stainley couldn''t understand what Christopher meant.


    How could he forget who Theodore was? He would not be fooled easily, and he had already thought


    ahead of them. Furthermore, he had left thepany in another car so that they won''t be able to


    track him down.


    D*mn it...


    "Where to now?"


    "Lon Bay Vi. Everleigh just called and told me that she was there. From her voice, I can tell she


    isn''t doing too good, and I am afraid that something will happen to her." Christopher started the car


    and was ready to go and find her.


    He was even more anxious because he was afraid that she would die if he arrived toote.


    A speeding car tore through the quiet night, making themps at night look even more chilly than


    usual.


    Both men in the car looked dead serious, and they were suppressing their anger.


    At this moment, Theodore was in the living room in the Lon Bay Vi, holding a ss of wine in his


    hand. He took a small sip, and no one knew what was going through his mind.


    Sounds of people knocking on the door were heard after a while. He didn''t respond at first, but the


    knocking was persistent, and even the servants were woken up by it. They looked at him, who was


    still sitting on the sofa, and called out softly, "Mr. Godfrey."


    "Open the door."


    "Alright." Just as the maid opened the door, two figures rushed in. Theodore turned his head


    towards them and frowned.


    "Theodore Godfrey!" Christopher shouted angrily as he walked in, filling the house with his angry


    bellows.


    His voice echoed in the big room. Everleigh, who was lying on the bed, heard his voice. Her face lit


    up with joy, and she got out of bed with trembling legs and quickly went downstairs.


    "To think that you hid her here. You really went all out didn''t you?" Christopher walked over and


    grabbed him by the cor. His eyes were furious, and he wanted to kill him.


    Theodore reached out to remove Christopher''s hand, and his face was sullen. "Who told you about


    this ce?"


    "If you wanted to keep it a secret, you shouldn''t have done it in the first ce. Didn''t you say that


    Everleigh wasn''t here? How are you going to exin now?" Christopher shouted.


    By this time, Stainley had already gone upstairs. As soon as he walked through the corridor, he saw


    Everleigh stumbling forward. Her eyes lit up with hope when she saw his face.


    "Stainley," she called out weakly.


    "Everleigh, what did that b*stard do to you?" Stainley asked worriedly.


    "Nothing, I''m just too hungry. Let''s go back first." She wasn''t abused. She was the one who didn''t


    eat in the first ce, so she couldn''t me anyone else.


    Meanwhile, Stainley didn''t want to hear what she was saying at that time. He just hoped that she


    would be fine.


    He brought Everleigh down in his arms. As a doctor, Christopher knew very well what she was


    going through.


    "Theodore Godfrey..."


    "Put her down!" Theodore shouted angrily as he stood up stiffly with his gaze fixed on her. It felt as if


    he would hurt anyone who tried to take her away from him.


    He was also quickly walking towards Stainley as he prepared to take Everleigh back.


    Seeing him like this, Christopher snorted coldly. "Theodore, why are you putting on an act here? Are


    you not done hurting her?"


    Theodore looked at him and said sharply, "I never hurt her."


    "No? Then what is this? Did you hold her captive for her own good? Theodore, what were you


    thinking? Were you that heartless seven years ago? You''re hurting her, but you tell everyone that


    you''re doing it for her." Christopher gritted his teeth as he spoke, and his eyes were fixed on him.


    Theodore''s expression froze for a moment. He understood what Christopher was trying to imply, but


    did anything happen seven years ago that he didn''t know about?


    "What are you trying to say?" He asked sternly.


    However, Christopher refused to talk to him anymore. He turned around and looked at the frail-


    looking Everleigh. "Take Everleigh back to the car. She can''t hold on for much longer."


    Stainley nodded as he nced at Theodore before he then walked to the car.


    Meanwhile, Theodore didn''t want Everleigh to leave like this. He started to chase after her but he


    was stopped by Christopher who red at him fiercely, "You are not worthy to be with her." "Wait,


    Christopher, don''t act so weirdly. Did anything happen seven years ago that I should have known


    about? Let it all off your chest now." Theodore had no other ce to vent his anger.


    The incident seven years ago had hurt him so deeply, but he knew that she had suffered as well. He


    wanted to make it up to her by improving their rtionship, and he wouldn''t even mind what


    happened in the past.


    He only wanted her to stay by his side.


    All of Christopher''s sarcasm and coldness appeared in his gaze.


    He flung the investigation results onto the table and said angrily, "See for yourself how your so-


    called fiancee framed Everleigh. You are blind, and you most definitely are not qualified to demand


    anything from her."


    After saying this, Christopher turned around and left immediately without sparing him another look.


    Theodore stood alone in the living room; the lights cast a long, lonely shadow on him.


    When one of the servants saw this, she stood at the door with a horrified look on her face. "Mr.


    Godfrey."


    Upon hearing her voice, he came back to his senses and he read everything that was written on the


    piece of the paper.

    After that, he wished he was illiterate. Every word he saw was like a bomb, causing his brain to


    implode with each letter.


    He squatted down and picked up the sheet of paper. He read it, and it detailed all of Josephine''s


    actions.


    After he finished reading it, he suddenlyughed, and theughter echoed in the empty room. The


    servant was terrified at this sight.


    She had a feeling that Mr. Godfrey was going insane.


    Theodore had a big grin on his face, but deep down he was disappointed with himself. Over the


    years, he knew that Josephine had ulterior motives, but he let it be after thinking that she seemed


    harmless. However, he never would have imagined that she would do such a thing to Everleigh.


    They were such good friends in the beginning, but Josephine had done such a despicable thing just


    because she wanted to be his wife.


    Furthermore, she even put in a good word for Everleigh in front of him.


    Very well. Josephine Bailey had yed him like a fool. Since this was what she wanted, he was


    going to make sure that she got a run for her money.


    Meanwhile, Christopher and Stainley sent Everleigh to the hospital. She had fainted after starving


    herself for too long.


    Then, they took care of her themselves as they were not reassured by the idea of other people


    doing so.


    It was not until dawn that they sent her to the ward.


    Then, Christopher left the ward for a smoke in the garden. He lifted his head to look at the pre-dawn


    sky.


    There were still a few stars glittering up there, which made him feel forlorn.


    "Since when did you smoke?"
