Chapter 414


    Cecil and Theodore looked at each other tacitly. He asked, "Christopher doesn''t know about this,


    right?"


    "Yep, I didn''t tell him." Everleigh nodded. Just thinking about it made her feel uneasy. If Christopher


    found out about it, he might cause some trouble.


    Theodore suddenly felt a sense of triumph. It turned out that Christopher didn''t know about


    everything. This time, Theodore had the upper hand.


    "Go ahead then. I''ll look for you tomorrow," he said softly; there was obvious delight in his tone.


    The corners of Everleigh''s mouth twitched when she realized that he was behaving just like a child.


    She shook her head helplessly and said nothing more.


    After Theodore had left, Cecil took out her phone and sent Everleigh a video.


    "This video might be useful to you." She then put her phone back into her purse and gave her a


    smile.


    Everleigh raised her eyebrows; she knew there was another meaning behind her words. She


    wanted to check the video but Cecil stopped her. "Not now. You can watch it when things be


    critical. I''ll leave now. See you tomorrow."


    She smiled charmingly and her eyes were shining.


    Everleigh didn''t know how to react. When would Cecil finally take things more seriously? She


    pondered to herself.


    She was really annoyed.


    As she entered the house, everyone had already left, and only the servants were there cleaning up


    the ce. Felicia was sitting alone on the sofa.


    Everleigh walked over to her. "Felicia..."


    "You can head upstairs first. I''ll wait for you right here." Felicia spoke in her usual tone, which gave


    off a cold feeling.


    Everleigh was startled as she didn''t know how she was feeling.


    Seeing that she wasn''t moving, Felicia took a deep breath and said, "Saniogo wants to talk to you


    about Cynthia. Everleigh, don''t worry, you have the support of the Meyer family. No one will dare to


    bully you. Go ahead."


    Everleigh felt even more ufortable after hearing her words. Every time she got into trouble, the


    Meyer family would always be by her side. She felt really sorry about it.


    "Alright, thanks for your understanding, Felicia."

    Felicia didn''t respond. Instead, she took out her phone and looked at something.


    When Everleigh arrived on the second floor, she saw that Yeezoo''s family, Luqman''s family, as well


    as Saniogo and Alexander were all there.


    "Everleigh," Alexander called out as he walked towards her. He used his eyes to point towards a


    room.


    She smiled to show him that everything would be fine.


    Melissa''s eyes immediately turned red when she saw Everleigh enter the room. She stood up and


    pointed at her while berating her, "Everleigh, it''s all your fault! If it wasn''t for you, how would my


    daughter be so humiliated?"


    If Yeezoo hadn''t stopped her, she would have rushed forward to give Everleigh a p.


    Everleigh stood straight and gave her a cool look, but her face was as calm as a millpond, as if she


    wasn''t involved.


    Cynthia had already woken up and was sitting on the bed, sobbing. She was filled with hatred for


    Everleigh as usual.


    "Aunt Melissa, this doesn''t make sense. Why was it my fault that she got into trouble?" Everleigh


    asked calmly.


    "How dare you deny it? You were with her when it happened!"


    "Many people were there with her as well. Weren''t her three friends with her too? Besides, she was


    the one who brought the drinks over. I didn''t even touch them. If you don''t believe me, you can


    check the security cameras," Everleigh defended herself firmly, sounding reasonable.


    Yeezoo''s eyes red with anger as he questioned, "Everleigh, are you trying to say that someone


    set her up?"


    "No, Uncle. No one set her up, she brought it upon herself. There''s no one else to me."


    "Uncle, I think we should carry out a proper investigation. It''s Yasmine''s first time attending a


    banquet here, so there''s no reason for her to do such a thing. If she did, wouldn''t it be a p to her


    own face?" Linggon suddenly spoke up for her.


    Everleigh was a little surprised. She didn''t expect anyone from the Jenkins family to stand on her


    side, especially those from Luqman''s family.


    "That''s right, Melissa. It''s better to make everything clear first. We can''t just bully Everleigh simply


    because she''s just returned," Fenna added.


    Saniogo and Alexander sat aside, observing the situation.


    It was not that they didn''t want to defend Everleigh, but they knew that she could handle the


    problem on her own. She didn''t need their help at all.


    However, the way Luqman and the others just helped her was making things really suspicious.


    "Shut up, all of you. You''re not the ones who are being looked down upon by others!" Melissa


    shouted.


    "Melissa, Cynthia was just being careless after all. She knew what kind of asion it was, but she


    still messed around with those trashy, wild friends of hers," Fenna continued disdainfully.


    Everyone knew how crazy Cynthia was in nightclubs.


    It was not the first time such an incident had happened. Fenna felt that it was really shameless for


    Melissa to try and put the me on others.


    Hearing what she said, Cynthia could no longer control her emotions. She covered her face and


    cried out, "Just shut up, everyone..."


    "What has been done, has been done, and yet you''re not willing to take any criticisms?" Fenna


    muttered softly.


    Saniogo shot a nce at Luqman. He then lowered his head and scolded her, "Don''t talk so much."


    She then said nothing more.


    Meanwhile, Everleigh walked towards them and said coldly, "Cynthia, we both know the truth. I


    know that you''ve hated me from the very moment I returned, but I didn''t expect you to make a move


    tonight. Did you really think that I would be the one feeling embarrassed if something happened to


    me? Wouldn''t the Jenkins family be more humiliated?"


    Cynthia covered her face and cried, feeling even worse than before.


    "What do you mean by that? Are you so sure that Cynthia did it to herself? She''s the real victim


    here!" Yeezoo defended her.


    "She tried to set me up and ended up failing, harming herself. Cynthia, do you really think that I had


    no idea you put something in my drink? Unfortunately, you took the wrong ss. Otherwise, such a


    thing wouldn''t have happened."


    Everleigh sounded bold and assured, but her heart was full of guilt.


    She couldn''t make it obvious that Cecil was the one who did it, otherwise she would be in trouble.


    Cynthia lowered her head. At that time, she was so furious that she didn''t notice which ss Shirley


    had given her. She thought that it was hers, but it turned out to be...


    Wait a minute...


    "You''re saying that I took the wrong ss, but what about Sisley? Did she drink the same drink


    too?"


    Cynthia''s words had just confirmed that she had done it herself.


    Yeezoo''s face darkened.


    "You rebellious girl, how dare you still ask?" He raised his hand and pped her across the face.


    Cynthia was stunned.


    Her mind went nk.


    The sound of the p echoed throughout the room.


    Melissa quickly stood in front of her and shouted, "Why did you hit her?"


    Yeezoo lifted his hand again. Not only did he want to hit Cynthia, he also wanted to hit his useless


    wife. Both of them deserved a good p.


    "Yeezoo," Saniogo chided, looking displeased.


    Hearing his eldest brother''s voice, he immediately put down his hand. "Saniogo, I''m sorry, I..."


    "This child is indeed wrong, but you should just give her a good lecture. There''s no need to hit her."
