Chapter 509


    Everleigh had told Theodore before that no matter what would happen in the future, she would


    always be by his side.


    However, he always sacrificed himself to protect her. Although his actions were touching, from a


    medical point of view, it was actually his biggest weakness.


    He smiled bitterly. He had a sudden feeling that it was actually not bad that there was a person who


    was willing to stand in front of him, fighting for him. Perhaps it was time for him to trust a woman


    who was willing to sacrifice for him.


    "Everleigh," he called her affectionately, then kissed her softly on the lips.


    Words couldn''t describe the deep love that he had for her at that moment.


    She was startled by his sudden action, and her cheeks blushed instantly. She felt shy as they were


    doing it in public.


    Suddenly, he received a phone call from Moses. "Mr. Godfrey, can youe over for a while?


    There''s something I need to tell you."


    "I''m on my way." He then hung up the phone and nced at Everleigh.


    She nodded to him and said, "Hurry up and go to work, I''ll take care of him."

    Even if he stayed, there was nothing he could do to help her.


    He nodded, turned around and left.


    In the office, Moses had been waiting for him for a long time. When he saw Theodore, he quickly


    said, "Mr. Godfrey, I''ve received news from Godfrey Group, saying that Wilson has fired a group of


    employees. Mr. Xavier only has a few men left in thepany, and our men can''t do anything about


    it either."


    "Ask them to be careful and not expose themselves, and wait for my orders," Theodore instructed in


    a deep voice.


    Wilson was clearly using the chance to get rid of Xavier''s connections in thepany as he wanted


    to haveplete control over Godfrey Group.


    Theodore knew that he was a ruthless person, but he didn''t expect him to be so cruel.


    In the afternoon, Everleigh received a phone call from Wilson. He wanted to meet her.


    She nced at Xavier who was resting in the ICU, hesitated for a moment, and answered, "Okay,


    let''s meet somewhere near the hospital. I don''t have much time." "No problem," Wilson agreed


    straightaway.


    Everleigh hung up the phone, asked Christopher to keep an eye on Xavier, and went to meet


    Wilson by herself.


    He was a little worried. "Do you really want to go?"


    "He won''t do anything bad in public," she sighed softly.


    She had thought about it properly. Wilson had been using a lot of connections and help at his


    company, so he wouldn''t want to create more problems for himself. That was the reason she dared


    to meet him.


    Christopher paused for a moment and reminded, "Do be careful. If you''re really in danger, just send


    me a voice message."


    "It''s not that serious. Just call me if I haven''t returned in one hour. How does that sound?" She didn''t


    know what to do, so she suggested a n.


    After thinking for a while, he agreed to it.


    She went to a cafe nearby. She hadn''t been there before, as it was newly-opened.


    She noticed Wilson as soon as he walked in through the door. They hadn''t seen each other for a


    long time, and he lookedpletely different.


    He no longer looked gentle and merciful as before. Instead, he was giving off a cold and scary aura,


    simr to that of Theodore. She was certain that he had be a totally different person.


    "Sorry for beingte, I was busy just now."


    "It''s okay. What can I do for you, Mr. Godfrey?" Everleigh smiled faintly, and didn''t take Wilson''s


    pleasantries to heart.


    He ordered a cup of tea, specifically Earl Grey tea. He was neither rushing nor calm, as if he was


    enjoying his life.


    From her perspective, he was just trying to show off.


    He wanted to show that he had gotten everything he wanted.


    "Mr. Godfrey, I''m really busy, if there''s something you want to say, just get to the point."


    "It''s nothing much, I just want to ask about Xavier''s condition. How is he doing?" He sounded


    concerned, but he wasn''t showing any sympathy at all.


    She smiled sarcastically, "Mr. Godfrey, you don''t have to ask about his condition if you don''t want to.


    You''re just making me sad by asking in such an attitude. To me, you''re just gloating over his


    misfortune. That man is your son, but it took you so long to finally ask me about his condition."


    Wilson wasn''t angry with her words.


    He had been too busy recently, so he didn''t ask much about Xavier.


    "I know, all of you will think that I''m an irresponsible father by asking sote, but I have my own


    difficulties too," he exined in a cool voice, without showing any care for Xavier.


    Everleigh, on the other hand, was furious when she heard that.


    "Your difficulties? Is it almost killing your own son by harming him? Mr. Godfrey, your heart is made


    of stone, isn''t it?"


    She asked in a slightly irritated tone.


    Looking at the bad father in front of her, her feelings were indescribable.


    His eyes turned cold when he saw her reaction. "Why are you so agitated? It''s not like I did it."


    She sneered, "You didn''t do it? Mr. Godfrey, you can deny it, but you know the truth. Xavier isn''t


    dead, but he has a heart disease, and will die at any time. Thus, you don''t have to rack your brain to


    try and harm him."


    Upon hearing that, Wilson''s eyes shed slightly, but it disappeared in the next second.


    "Miss Trevino, I''vee to ask you about Xavier''s situation, but I also want to tell you that I''m doing


    this for Theodore."


    Everleighughed sarcastically, "Doing it for Theodore? After everything that you''ve done to hurt


    him, you say that you''re doing it for him? Mr.


    Godfrey, your way of expressing love is really special."


    He didn''t mind that she was mocking him. He knew his intentions well in his own heart.


    "Miss Trevino, you''re a parent too so you should know that you have done many things for your own


    children. You can think that I''m unreasonable, but I''m not wrong," he responded in a firm tone. It


    made her find it even more ridiculous.


    He wasn''t wrong?


    He tried to kill his younger son for his eldest son, but he imed he wasn''t wrong? She really


    couldn''t keep up with his peculiar way of thinking.


    "Mr. Godfrey, I''m afraid your eldest son will only hate you more instead of thanking you if you


    continue doing this. The two of you are the most cruel parents I''ve ever seen. Madison wanted to


    control Theodore in order to help Xavier, while you were willing to hurt Xavier just because you


    wanted to pave the way for Theodore. Have the two of you ever considered Theodore and Xavier''s


    opinions? Are these things what they really want?" Everleigh wasn''t familiar with Xavier, but she


    knew Theodore very well. In the past, he wanted to join the government so badly, but he ended up


    in the world of business.


    A man like Wilson had no rights to justify his own actions like that.


    She felt that she was about to blow up in anger if she continued talking to him.


    He sat on the chair, holding a cup of tea in his hand. His bulging hand veins were clearly visible.


    He was suppressing his anger secretly.


    She grabbed her purse and was about to leave, but when she took a few steps forward, she


    stopped and said, "Mr. Godfrey, if you still havepassion left in your heart, please stop doing


    this."


    It was her honest advice.
