Although Everleigh did not finish her sentence, Stainley knew what she meant.


    “How are things between you two?”


    Everleigh yed dumb. “Who? What do you mean?”


    After noticing that she did not want to talk about it, he did not pester her and changed the topic.“Nothing, let’s eat. You should eat a bit more.”


    When they were studying abroad,Everleigh never mentioned Theodore. If Stainley had not seen them dating when they were in college, he would never have known that they were together.


    After lunch, Everleigh and Stainley left the cafeteria together.


    It was in the afternoon.She had a dispute with the production team earlier. Hence she was not in a hurry to go back. She found a shaded area in the hospital garden and rested there.


    “Thank you, Stainley. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t be able to have lunch. The cafeteria food is pretty good.”


    “If you like it, you cane here for lunchafter this.”


    “I don’t think that’s a good idea.None of the crew are supposed to enter the cafeteria.”


    “It’ll be fine,” Stainley exined,“The dean of Jackson Hospital is worried that the crew members will disrupt things in the hospital. Yet, you’re a doctor,so I just need to tell the dean, and you’ll be able to go in.”


    Initially, Everleigh wanted to refuse his offer.After all, it was not good for her to receive special treatment. However, she recalled that stair, who seemed indifferent to everything, lovedchicken chop. In the end,she epted the offer shamelessly. “Thank you.”


    “You don’t have to be so reserved around me.”


    They were chatting whena figure walked to them. It was a middle-aged man in a suit.He scanned the surroundings before going toEverleigh.He asked, “Are you Miss Everleigh Trevino?”


    Stainley and Everleigh were taken aback.


    Everleigh asked, “Who are you?”


    “Our Madam wants to see you. Are you free now?”


    “Madam?”


    Everleigh scrutinized the man and frowned. She had a nagging feeling about it.


    Everleigh followed the man to the hospital’s underground parking lot. When the elevator door opened, a cold breeze brushed her calf, and it made her tremble.


    The man stopped two meters away from a carand extended his hand towards it. “Madam is waiting for you in the car.”


    Everleigh followed his direction and nced at the car.


    It was a ck Porsche, and the windows were tinted. It was impossible to peer into the car, but the passenger could see everything clearly.


    Everleigh opened the door and spotted the figure in the car. She could guess what was going on.


    “Miss Trevino, it’s been a while.” In the car, Madison sat upright.It had been seven years, but she still looked elegant and dignified.


    Everleigh had one hand over the door, andher back stiffened. “Mrs. Godfrey?”


    “Miss Trevino, are you going to talk to me like that?”


    Madison’s voice was cold and a little arrogant. Everleigh came to her senses and frowned. She got in the car and closed the door.


    She took a deep breath and asked, “Mrs. Godfrey, what can I do for you?”


    “We met over seven years ago, right?Miss Trevino, you’re still as beautiful as ever. I heard that you’re working in a hospital? You’re a chief surgeon, right?”


    Her tone was light,and it was apliment, but her attitude remained unchanged. It was the same as seven years ago,and it was clear thatMadison did not think highly of Everleigh.


    Everleighposed herself and replied calmly, “Mrs. Godfrey, you’re not here to catch up, right? Stop beating around the bush.”


    Madison sized up Everleigh and retorted,“Why do you think I came looking for you?”


    “I broke up with Theodore.”


    Everleigh was being very straightforward. She returned Madison’s gaze and continued frankly, “We broke up seven years ago. You should know that better than anyone else, so I don’t understand why you came looking for me.”


    Madison sneered, “You denied everything right from the start,huh? If it was anyone else, I’m pretty sure that they wouldn’t know how to react, andthey’ll probably think that they’re overthinking.”


    “…”


    “Miss Trevino, you should know that Theodore is getting married, right? You should know his fiancee too. Well, she’s your friend, so shouldn’t you keep your distance from your friend’s fiance? Or is it okay for you to flirt around with your ex?”


    “What do you mean?” Everleigh furrowed her brows, and she looked a little angry.


    “Drop the act. I heard the rumors circting in thepany. If you didn’t go looking for Theodore,I believe that he wouldn’t have anything to do with you. I came here today to tell you to stay away from him.”Belongs to ? n0velDrama.Org.


    Madison’s remarks were overbearing, and she was belittling Everleigh.Evidently, Madison could not care less about Everleigh’s feelings.


    Everleigh tried her best to suppress her anger because Madison was an elder. However, Everleigh lost it when she heard that, and she was disgusted. Her face darkened, and she retorted, “Mrs. Godfrey, I see you haven’t changed, and you’re still so full of yourself.”


    Madison scowled and snapped, “What did you say?”


    “Whenever there’s a problem, you’ll assume that you and Theodore are not at fault, andyou’ll me others. What made you think that I went after him? Where’s the evidence?”


    “Evidence?” Madison snorted,“Why would I need to verify such a trivial thing?”


    “Well, didn’t youe looking for me for something so trivial? You’ve wasted my time, but you didn’t even apologize.So these are your manners, huh?”


    “You… ”


    “Calm down. I’m not done.” Everleigh took out her wallet and took out two one-hundred-dor bills, and handed it to her.


    Madison’s face changed, and she hissed,“What are you doing?”


    “Isn’t this how you do things? This time, you don’t need to give me a cheque to leave your son. I’ll pay you to leave me alone, so don’te looking for me after this. Thank you.”


    “You… ”


    “I have something else to do.Goodbye.” Everleigh ced the money on the seat.Before Madison could react, Everleigh turned to open the door and got out of the car.


    Suddenly,someone got out of the car behind her, andthe sound of high heels echoed in the parking lot. “Everleigh, stop right there.”


    Everleigh stuffed her hands in her pockets andstopped. She did not look back and asked coldly, “Is there anything else?”


    “If you ever meet Theodore again, I’llmake you pay. I know you don’t have anything to lose,but what about the Trevino family? You’re going to abandon them? I heard that Trevino Group is trying to expand thepany.”


    Everleigh’s face darkened, andher hands balled into fists in her pockets.


    She knew Madison’s character.Seven years ago,she knew that Madison was a woman of her words.


    A series of footsteps approached Everleigh, and Madison’s voice was colder than ever. “It took a lot to get Theodore to leave you and return toGodfrey Group.I’ll never allow a woman like you to disrupt his perfect life.”
