Said I didn't Love Him But I Lied

Judging by Elvir's looks, he would not even be able to get through the hotel's main entrance if he wanted to find evidence of the cheating husband.

"I've been investigating this case all these years, but I haven't made any progress. I can't possibly just sit here living off the past gains," Elvir said with a righteous look. Christopher was very surprised that this man still had guts.

Just as Elvir finished his words, his phone rang. "Hello?" He answered.

He listened to the other end of the line.

"I'll be right there," he said as he ran off with his phone.

Everleigh and Christopher felt a gust of wind blow past, and Elvir had already disappeared from the room.

It was only then that they knew why the office looked shabby. This man wasn't staying there at all. It looked like he only went there to sleep.

"Let's go. He said he was waiting for more news too, so we should wait and see. I'll continue with my investigation and find out which factory it was." Christopher tried comforting her. This man seemed to be a little unreliable.

On their way back, neither of them spoke. Everleigh's heart sank to the bottom. She didn't expect it would turn out like this.

She was confused as to how Saniogo had taken a liking to Elvir at that time that he entrusted the job to him.

"Don't worry. I'll go back and investigate Elvir's background."

"Well, it has already turned out to be like this. There's no need to rush." Everleigh took a deep breath to calm herself down.

Deep in thought, Christopher turned to look at her with a meaningful look and he stopped talking.

She arrived home at noon. Before she entered the door, she saw Alexander walk over and he greeted her, "Everleigh."

"Alexander, why are you here?" She looked at him strangely. Shouldn't he be at home?

He smiled slightly. Under the sunlight, he looked like a teenager from every girl's dream, making people unable to turn their eyes away from him.

There was a time when she had to admit that he was the dream lover of many people.

"It was Alastair who asked me to pick you up. He said that you might come back at noon," he came over and said.

She thought of Alastair and chuckled, "Okay, let's go."

When she returned to the Jenkins family home, she noticed that Cynthia and Linggon were both there, and Alastair and Adrienne were sitting next to Saniogo, laughing happily.

On the contrary, Cynthia's face was full of hatred.

Everleigh frowned and asked, "Why are they here?"

"I don't know. Maybe they arrived when I went to pick you up." Alexander also frowned and he didn't look comfortable.

Everleigh's identity was a little special now. It was better for her and her kids not to show up.

"Dad," Alexander called.

Everyone on the sofa looked over, especially Cynthia, who looked very unhappy. "How old are you? You already have two children. You didn't go sleeping around and causing all sorts of trouble, did you?" Hearing this, Everleigh stopped and looked dismayed.

"Cynthia, what are you talking about?"

"Yes, Cynthia. What are you talking about?" Linggon felt that she had gone too far.

After all, she was a member of the Jenkins family. Wasn't it too much for her to speak like that?

"Am I wrong? She's so young and yet she already has two children. Although it's a trend to get pregnant before getting married, you shouldn't just follow the trend like this," Cynthia said with a smile. At the same time, the look of sarcasm in her eyes didn't seem to fade at all. Instead, she felt that Everleigh was even more despicable.

It was the same for the children she gave birth to.

Alastair and Adrienne were very unhappy to hear her words, especially Alastair, who clenched his little fists tightly. This was far more despicable to hear than to call a child illegitimate.

Saniogo felt the same way too. His face was gloomy. Just as he was about to yell at her, he saw Everleigh rush over and she slapped Cynthia in the face.

"Cynthia, I can bear with whatever insults you throw at me, but I will never tolerate you when it comes to this matter. What disgusting mindset you have at such a young age. I won't even bother talking with you about the current 'trend"," Everleigh stared at her furiously, her cheeks red with anger.

An aura of ruthlessness and ferocity radiated off her body.

Alexander and Saniogo were both shocked when they saw her attitude, but they both agreed in their minds that her actions reflected their anger.

Cynthia really deserved a slap.

The words that she spoke didn't even go through her mind first. How did Luqman educate her?

Cynthia was startled by the slap and wasn't able to come back to her senses for a long time. "You..."

"It's indeed following the current trend. Think about it. What Aunt Cynthia did before can't be compared to my mommy. Taking off your clothes in public, Aunt Cynthia, you're really trendy." Alastair's voice was cold, without any childishness that a boy his age should have.

It was more like an adult speaking.

"You... You're just an illegitimate child. What do you know... Ah!" Before Cynthia could finish her words, she felt another sharp pain on her cheek.

Everleigh glared at her condescendingly, and the indignation on her face became stronger. "I dare you to say it again."

"Cynthia, don't go too far." Alexander stood up and scolded her.

Cynthia covered her face with tears in her clear eyes. She stood up, faced Everleigh, and said to her, "What right do you have to hit me? You are just a shameless sl*t and you gave birth to illegitimate children." Everleigh was so angry that her whole body was shaking.

Adrienne listened to Cynthia's words and burst into tears. "Mommy, let's go home. I don't want to stay here..." She sobbed.

Everleigh quickly turned around and comforted her. "Okay, okay, let's go back now. Don't cry."

"Adrienne, don't cry. There's nothing to cry about," Alastair also comforted her, but the hatred in his eyes was apparent.

Cynthia felt much better when she saw them like this. "You're just a bunch of illegitimate children. How dare you come and deceive the Jenkins family? Get out of here now..."

Slap! The crisp sound echoed through the room.

Everleigh and others all watched the scene that unfolded in front of their eyes.

Even Linggon couldn't believe what he saw.

"Un... Uncle," Linggon muttered.

Saniogo's face was more sullen than ever and his eyes were filled with intense displeasure.

Cynthia's face swelled up. She had tears in her eyes but didn't dare to cry out in pain. She felt more shocked rather than the pain on her face. She couldn't believe that her beloved uncle would slap her.

"Cynthia, do you my words go in one ear and out from the other? Or do you think Everleigh is easy to bully for you to humiliate her like this?" Saniogo said, word by word.

His eyes were like a knife which pierced fiercely into Cynthia's heart.

"I... I didn't..."

"Everleigh is part of the Jenkins family. There is no doubt about this. If I ever hear you telling her to get out of here, don't blame me for driving you out of the Jenkins family." Saniogo's voice was firm, leaving no chance for negotiation. It as as if he had given an order.

Everyone who heard him couldn't help but shiver.

Everleigh looked at him and her heart felt complicated.

She could stand being bullied and insulted, but she would never allow anyone to hurt her children.
