Chapter 595
Missha nodded. There were some emotions in her eyes, which was seen by Everleigh, but she
didn''t understand what it meant. It was an emotion she couldn''t describe.
After dinner, Missha went back to the Jenkins family home. At night, she invited Everleigh toe
over, and she agreed.
When they walked out of the restaurant, they saw Theodore. "Why are you here?" Everleigh asked.
"I went to the hospital to look for you. The nurse told me that you went out for lunch, so I came here
to look for you." His cold voice was filled with a hint of indulgence. It was as if he knew the ces
she liked.
Everleigh smiled slightly and did not say anything.
They were not in a hurry to go back to the hospital. Instead, they decided to walk back because she
had eaten too much at noon and wanted to burn off some of the food. She suddenly asked, "Have
you had lunch?"
"I''ve eaten. I''m here to tell you something," he said in a serious tone.
She frowned and thought, "What''s wrong with him? Why does he look so serious?"
"There was a problem with the project given to me by stair and Leon. That person has already
run off with the funds. Although I have reported the matter to the police, it''s useless. This money is
long gone."
"Was it the project you had found?" She asked.
He shook his head and stopped in front of her. His eyes were filled with anger. Seeing this, she
couldn''t help but ask, "What''s wrong with you?"
"It''s the Allen family. The person in charge of the project is the Allen family. I originally handed it
over to apany subordinate, but the Allen family set it up. On the one hand, it was to take
revenge on the Trevino family. Secondly, they wanted Leon to know that he is nothing without
them."
Hearing this, Everleigh thought of what her father said when he talked to her that day. He might
have known that there was something wrong with the project, so he talked to her beforehand and
used the excuse that he did not have enough working capital because he was worried the project
could not carry on.
"Then what should we do now?"
"I already have evidence that it''s the Allen family''s doings. Maybe we can recover some of our
losses. In the end, it''s partly my fault. I didn''t pay too much attention to the staff members,"
Theodore said in a cold tone. He was putting the me on himself.
"Let''s not tell them about this matter for the time being. Let''s wait until it''s resolved."
"It''s toote. stair already knows," he said in a low voice. He thenughed bitterly, "I don''t even
know if it''s a good thing for a child to be so smart. He reacted so quickly that even I, as his father,
feel like I''ve failed."
"We all wish for the sess of our children. They are all promising, but you are being so careful.
What on earth are you thinking?" She couldn''t guess his thoughts.
He turned and looked at her with a smile. "In the past, you would''ve been concerned about the
matters of the Trevino family. How can you criticize me right now? Everleigh, did youe up with
a solution?"
She was at a loss for words. He was testing her.
Since he wanted to know, he could just ask her directly. Was there a need to beat around the bush?
"I gave Dad a million dors today."
"I knew it. In the past, you would''ve been flustered," Theodore said with a chuckle.

Everleigh was speechless. She couldn''t keep up with this man''s thinking. Yet, he was so confident
that she would make a move.
In the evening, she went to the Jenkins family home alone. Theodore wanted to go with her, but she
refused because she wanted him to conduct a thorough investigation of the issue involving Leon.
He knew that she was angry, and he couldn''t do anything about it. He might as well wait for the
results of the investigation before apologizing to her.
In the Jenkins family home, when Everleigh arrived, she saw Cynthia sitting on the sofa chatting
with Missha. She was even more relieved that she hadn''t asked Theodore toe over. If it was
only Saniogo and Alexander, she would have agreed to let hime, but unfortunately, with
Cynthia around, they would naturally end up in chaos.
Alexander was sitting on the other side of the sofa, holding his phone, with a faint smile on his face.
She immediately knew what was going on without asking.
He must be chatting with Cecil. Otherwise, ording to his character, he would not be smiling like
an idiot.
"Aunt Missha. Alexander," Everleigh entered the door and called out to them with a smile.
"You''re here. Come and sit down. Your uncle will be back soon, and well have a meal right away."
"Okay." Everleigh didn''t mind. Sitting beside Alexander, she nced at his phone, which showed a
text sent by Cecil. She was asking him to go away.
He quickly put down his phone and looked at Everleigh.
"Alexander, where is Cecil?"
"The Hayes family is having their own family dinner. Therefore, she couldn''te." He rolled his
eyes at her.
He wouldn''t believe that she didn''t know.
Cynthia saw the two of them chatting so happily, and she couldn''t help but roll her eyes. "Are you
here to chat or to wee your aunt home?"
"Cynthia, don''t be so estranged from the family." Missha couldn''t help but say. They had a good
rtionship, and it was also a good thing. Was it necessary to make a mess?
Everleigh and Alexander both fell silent. Neither of them had any good feelings towards Cynthia.
They had always been like this.
At that moment, Saniogo came back, and he saw Everleigh as soon as he entered the door. He
chuckled and said, "You''re here? Why didn''t you tell me? I''ll ask someone to prepare some dishes
for you."
"I came here because I don''t need to be on duty tonight. Where have you been, Uncle Saniogo?"
Looking at his slightly blushing cheeks, Everleigh knew what was going on without asking.
"I was having a few drinks with my friends. I didn''t know you wereing either, or I would''ve been
waiting for you at home," he replied with a smile.
Hearing this, she felt warm in her heart. She knew that her uncle really cared about her, and she
would remember this forever in her heart.
Saniogo went to the kitchen and asked the servants to add another two of Everleigh''s favorite
dishes to that night''s menu.
Cynthia was even more unhappy to see him like this. "Uncle Saniogo, this isn''t the first time she''s
been here. Is there a need to treat her like this?"
"She rarelyes back, so it''s important to have a great meal." He knew what she meant. He had
to admit that he felt guilty towards Everleigh as well. Now that they were back at home, he wished
that they could all be morefortable.
Missha understood what her brother meant and sighed, "Cynthia, don''t say such things. You grew
up in the Jenkins family, so you have enjoyed all kinds of good things, but it''s different for
Everleigh."
When Everleigh heard what she said, she didn''t know whether tough or cry. Her words made her
feel like she was from the suburbs and had not experienced much of the big world.
However, she understood that Saniogo''s words had hinted at his biases towards her. It would
embarrass Cynthia even more if she spoke up.
Cynthia was furious. She sat on the sofa and looked at Everleigh fiercely. She did not mind and
even smiled at her, which made Cynthia go wild.
To her, Everleigh was getting all the attention.
Missha sat on one side and looked at Cynthia''s exasperated look. Her eyes shed, but soon, it
disappeared.
At the dinner table, Cynthia ate a few mouthfuls, then went back to her room.
Missha shook her head helplessly. "Why is this child still like this?"
"It''s Yeezoo''s fault for not knowing how to educate his child. Don''t worry about it."
