Saniogo sat on the sofa, thought for a moment and asked, “Why did you decide toe back?”
“Cynthia is working in thepany, and has been managing itwell, so I’ve decided toe back and take a break. Iwill return in a few days. With the advanced technology and high-speed inte right now, it’s easier for me to manage things,” Missha replied with a smile.
It seemed that she was very happy to be back.C0pyright ? 2024 N?v)(elDrama.Org.
He frowned slightly.It wasn’t because he didn’t trust her decision, but it was just that Cynthia wasn’t really suitable to lead thepany. She was short-tempered, and liked to cause trouble.
Everleigh didn’t say anything about it.She couldn’t care less about Cynthia’s matters.
“Are you sure?” Saniogo asked.
“She’s just leading a few employees;she doesn’t really have much power. Thepany is so big. As a youngdy, if she wants to lead the wholepany, everyone has to trust her.” Missha understood his concerns.
Hence, she exined it to him.
“Everleigh, since you’re here now, why don’t you stay for dinner?”
“Sure,” she agreed directly.
When Alexander returned home and saw Everleigh, he was rather surprised. He didn’t know why she was there.
“Everleigh,” he greeted.
“Alexander, you’re back just in time for dinner,” she responded with a smile, looking as friendly as she was before.
He nced at Saniogo, trying to ask him what was going on.
His father made eye contact with him, signaling him not to say anything.
During dinner, Missha was talking about her life abroad, andthe atmosphere was very harmonious.Halfway through the conversation, she suddenly thought of something.
“Everleigh, where are stair and Adrienne? Why didn’t you bring them here to meet me?” She asked.
“Oh, they have to go to school.I’ll bring them over during the holidays,” Everleigh exined. In fact, she only learned about Missha’s return when she received her call. Otherwise, she would still be on duty at the hospital. Once again, Christopher had to help her with her shift.
Missha smiled.“Alright then.Tell me when they’reing over.I’ve bought them some gifts.”
Everleigh didn’t want to receive any gifts from them anymore, as they were simply too expensive.
After dinner, Saniogo asked Everleigh to follow him to the study room, as he wanted to talk to her.
She had the same thought in mind, too.
“Everleigh, about the previous incident, there’s something I want to tell you about. I know…”
“Uncle Saniogo, I’m sorry. I’ve wronged you before I even made a proper investigation. I wanted to apologize to you, but I didn’t have the time. I’m using this opportunity toe over and apologize,” she apologizedsincerely. However, her excuse sounded really awkward, as it wasn’t that she didn’t have the time.
She just didn’t know how to go over and apologize.
She had previously argued with him so badly, but now, she had toe over and apologize. Fortunately,she didn’t say anything too hurtful during their argument, or else, it would’ve been really embarrassing.
He wasn’t expecting to hear such words, so he didn’t know how to react for a moment.
He wanted to exin what had happened back then, but didn’t expect to hear an apology from her.
“Have you found out everything about it?” He asked.
“Just a little bit, but it’s all thanksto Elvir. If he hadn’t gone out to investigate first, I wouldn’t have been able to find any clues,” she told him the truth.
Saniogo nodded.“Elvir is a righteous man. If not, he wouldn’t have let you know that I had gone there that day.”
“Why did you ask him to investigate then?” Everleigh asked him back.
He took a deep breath.“You know Elvir’s background, don’t you? He’s actually a decent man, and is the most suitable person to do the job. Besides, the public has been treating Welment’s death as an ident. If they found out that it was a murder, it would cause a lot of trouble. That is why I’ve asked him to investigate it secretly.”
She nodded and said, “I understand now. Uncle, thank you for your persistence for so many years, otherwise…”
“My father once told me,as the eldest brother, I have to take good care of all my younger siblings. However, I have let them down. Your father was the most promising one among all the siblings. He was a genius in business. Unfortunately, he passed away at such a young age. As for the other brothers, Luqman and Yeezoo, you know what kind of people they are,” he said, as the smile on his face grew even more bitter.
For so many years, no one had known his struggles. Fortunately, he had a sensible son, Alexander, who had helped him a lot.
At least there was a person he could count on.
Everleigh had never understood Saniogo’s thoughts.
She also never knew that he was under so much pressure. In the past, she wouldn’t have had such feelings, but she had experienced everything herself.
Especially after she had be a mother, her thoughts for children grew even stronger.
“Uncle, I will continue investigating my parents’ deaths. I’m here to apologize today. It’s my fault that I didn’t make it clear,” she said.
He waved his hand. “I’ve already forgiven you the moment you stepped into this house. You didn’t grow up in the Jenkins family, so I don’t me you for not knowing everything. Juste back more often so the house wouldn’t feel so empty.” As he spoke, he raised his head and looked around the study room. It really looked cold and empty.
“Annie is back, isn’t she? I believe you know that she has feelings for Alexander, right?” She changed the topic.
“Annie isn’t suitable to be the daughter-inw of the Jenkins family. I used to ept her, but after a few incidents, my impression of her has changed,” Saniogo sighed; his tone was filled with emotions.
Everleigh was silent for a moment. She didn’t want toment on it, as it was Alexander’s personal matter.
When they went downstairs together, Annie hade back, and was having a good chat with Missha.
When she saw Everleigh walking down, she was slightly surprised. “Miss Trevino.”
“Miss Lawson, where did you go?Why didn’t I see you when I arrived just now?” Everleigh greeted her.
“I just went out for a walk,I didn’t expect Aunt Missha toe back,” Annie replied.
Everleigh was rather staggered that Annie addressed Missha as ‘Aunt Missha’.
Despite this, Missha didn’t seem to mind it, as if she had confirmed Annie’s status in the Jenkins family.
Everleigh pursed her lips and didn’t say anything.
On the other hand, Annie seemed to have remembered something. “By the way, Miss Trevino, why did you attend the auction with the eldest daughter of the Meyer family? I wanted to ask you about it, but I didn’t have the chance to do so.”
Missha was shocked to hear it. “Was it the auction that was held by a foreign organizer? Saniogo, didn’t you attend it?”
“Nope.” He responded straightaway, and his eyes glittered with shrewdness.
Missha was even more confused. “Saniogo, that piece ofnd is important to us as well. Why didn’t you participate in it? I’ve also heard that it was won by the Godfrey family.”
Annie sensed that there was something wrong with Missha’s tone, so she remained silent. She was previously criticized by Saniogo for cutting into their conversation. If she did it again, she might cause some problems for herself.
“To be honest, the price was too high. Even if Mr. Jenkins went to the auction, he might not have…”
“Annie, did you give up just because of the price?” Missha asked. She wasn’t really angry because of that matter.
Since they had already lost it, there was nothing else she could do.
It wasn’t like they would die if they didn’t get thend.
Annie waspletely embarrassed. “Yes.”
Missha paused for a moment and continued, “I wanted to invest in the project too when I was abroad, but I could only give upas we didn’t have thend.”
