Said I didn't Love Him But I Lied

Alexander saw a flash of worry in Everleigh's eyes and understood her concerns. "Don't worry, Aunt Missha is nothing like our uncle."

She then grinned and stopped talking.

At the Jenkins family's home.

Luqman, Yeezoo, and their families were all present. After all, their own sister was back, so it was normal for them to visit her.

"Aunt Missha, Everleigh is here," Alexander said as soon as he entered the door.

Everyone looked over to the door, especially Missha. When she saw Everleigh, she was slightly surprised for a moment and reacted quickly. "So this is Abraham's daughter? Wow, she looks just like her mother!" Missha went over and held her hand, looking at her carefully.

Saniogo nodded. "That's right, she's Lillian's daughter."

Everleigh noticed the emotions in Missha's eyes and whispered, "Nice to meet you, Aunt Missha."

"Nice to meet you too..." Missha nodded and brought her over to sit down on the sofa.

Cynthia, who was sitting on another sofa, felt even more jealous when she saw the scene. If it wasn't for Missha's return, she wouldn't have shown up at the house.

She felt that it was all Everleigh's fault. Saniogo used to love her so much, but now, everyone's focus was on Everleigh.

Missha looked at Everleigh and asked, "I heard that you are a doctor, right?"

"Yes, I currently work at the city hospital."

"That's a very famous hospital! Your future must be very bright working over there," Missha said in astonishment, but she was also very pleased.

"She's just a doctor. What kind of bright future can she possibly have?" Cynthia mumbled to herself, but everyone else could hear her.

Saniogo's expression changed instantly as he shot a piercing glare at her. Cynthia's entire body trembled. "Your aunt is praising her. What do you even know about a doctor's job?" Yeezoo chided, trying to give Cynthia a way out. After all, everyone was there to celebrate Missha's return, so no one should start a fight or quarrel.

Everleigh lowered her head without saying anything.

Missha looked around, and her eyes sparkled a little bit. Then, she said with a kind expression, "I'm sorry for not bringing you any souvenirs. I was in a rush to come back. Here, this is for you."

She took out a piece of precious crystal from her bag and gave it to Everleigh.

"I bought this from an auction abroad. Take it. It's something to show my love for you for all these years."

"No, it's too valuable, I can't accept it." Everleigh refused to accept her gift instantly. Although she didn't know much about crystals and gemstones, she could tell that it wasn't an ordinary stone just by looking at it. When Alexander saw that she was refusing to take it, he reached his hand out and put it in her hand. "Just keep it, don't be shy."

Everleigh looked at it and knew that it would be better for her to just accept it. "Thank you then, Aunt Missha."

"You're welcome. I've gifted Cynthia a lot of precious items in the past, but I never got to give you anything. This time, I just want to make it up to you." Missha smiled sweetly.

She didn't know that her words were making Cynthia even more upset.

She had been used to being the only star in the family, so she certainly didn't want to share the spotlight with someone else.

"Aunt Missha, what about mine?" Cynthia asked with a smile. She thought that since Everleigh was given something, she would receive a gift too.

Missha turned around and looked at her guiltily. "I'm sorry Cynthia, I'll definitely bring you something the next time I come back. I was rushing to come back this time, and I'll only be staying for a few days." Hearing Missha's words, not only was Cynthia unhappy, Yeezoo and Melissa were displeased as well.

Melissa knew that the piece of crystal was a precious one. Usually, she would bring the jewelries that were given to Cynthia with her to show off.

Now that they didn't get anything, she obviously couldn't accept it.

"Missha, you are known to be fair and unbiased. Why didn't Cynthia get anything this time? Are you playing favorites right now?" Melissa questioned.

Her words made Fenna very dissatisfied. She retorted, "Now you're just being unreasonable. Cynthia has received tons of gifts from Missha, hasn't she? Plus, Linggon didn't get anything this time either, right? What do you mean by playing favorites?"

"You... Why must you get involved in everything?" Melissa glared at her in annoyance.

Fenna wasn't planning to back off either. Why must Cynthia get everything she wanted, and the others just couldn't?

She didn't care about the gifts. She'd just had enough of Melissa and Cynthia's attitude.

Everleigh and Alexander exchanged looks. They were both helpless.

"Melissa, what do you mean by that? You know how much I love Cynthia. For so many years, I haven't given anything to Yasmine. What's wrong with giving her a crystal right now?" Missha's tone was cold, and there was a hint of anger in her eyes.

Perhaps they could sense that Missha was getting unhappy, so both Melissa and Fenna shut their mouths up.

"Melissa, Fenna, forgive me for saying this. I know the both of you just can't get along, but why can't you two try and pretend to get along when everyone is here? Yasmine belongs to the Jenkins family, so no one else can bully her. What makes you think that you have the right to do so?" Missha's face turned cold, revealing her strong and powerful aura.

Melissa and Fenna were both only housewives of rich families. How could they even be compared with Missha?

In terms of character and personality, they were far behind.

Saniogo sat aside without saying a single word the whole time. He knew that Missha wasn't a woman who could be intimidated easily, so he naturally didn't have to do anything, she could handle it all by herself. "Missha, that's not what I meant. I just want you to be fair, I..."

"Be fair? We've owed Welment for so many years. Why didn't you say or do anything about it? If it wasn't for Saniogo's persistence, would you have taken advantage of his shares?" Missha's gaze was so sharp that it could pierce through everyone's heart.

Yeezoo was the first one to feel ashamed. "Missha, must you be so harsh when you speak? We're doing everything for Welment's own good."

"Since it's for his own good, then you should treat Yasmine well. Let me make myself clear in front of everyone here today. If anyone dares to cause trouble for Yasmine ever again, I will definitely not let them go so easily," Missha snorted coldly.

Everyone from Yeezoo and Luqman's families shut up.

Especially Cynthia. It was the first time she had seen Missha so angry.

She didn't dare to speak.

Everleigh sat on the sofa and remained silent. It seemed that she should really show up less often at the Jenkins family home.

"Everleigh, are you hungry? Let me ask them to serve the food right now." Saniogo seemed to have seen through her thoughts.

"Alright."

"Oh, I almost forgot to tell you. I'll be living here for three days before I leave." As Missha turned around to talk to Everleigh, her previous cold look had disappeared, and all that was left was a pair of lovely eyes. Everleigh smiled and said, "Okay, I'll come here to visit you for the next few days."

Missha's expression was just like the one in the photo. The only difference was that she looked much calmer. There weren't even any wrinkles on her beautiful face.

Then, they all sat down at the table and ate. Alexander and Linggon filled Everleigh's plate with food, and she thanked them both. Speaking of the two of them, Everleigh actually liked Linggon more. Looking at the scene, Cynthia was even more agitated.

She would definitely not let her go that easily.

Missha talked a lot about her life abroad, as well as the overseas company.

"Mm, with you in charge, there's nothing I should worry about," Saniogo said. "What are you talking about? I'm just doing it for the Jenkins family's properties."
