Deep Love Hidden From Him novel Chapter 185

Cecil lifted the corners of her mouth and raised her beautiful eyes slightly. "Yes, I'll go and see my old friend."

"Who is it?" Everleigh didn't understand.

"Christopher told me that she has been looking for trouble with you ever since you returned. Does she really think that she can climb up the Godfrey family and become a phoenix? I haven't seen her in many years. I'm going to see what a phoenix looks like."

Seeing the indifferent look in Cecil's eyes, Everleigh couldn't help but tremble.

It was late at night and a black car had just arrived at the airport. It drove smoothly on the airport's highway, and there was a woman's voice in the back of the car.

"My plane just landed." "Yes, I know. I will seize this opportunity as per what you said. I just didn't expect Everleigh to be so capable. She actually involved your mother this time. Madam Scott is really cruel too."

The man on the other end of the line said in a low and calm voice, as if he was not talking about his own mother who was related to him by blood. "It was just an accident. No one expected that woman to appear suddenly."

"This time, she didn't just appear suddenly. I heard that in order to appease her, Madam Scott asked someone to send her an invitation to her birthday banquet. If I remember correctly, she has never attended any formal occasions of the Godfrey family before, has she? Does this mean that her identity has been acknowledged by the Godfrey family?"

"In her dreams! She will never step through the gates of the Godfrey family within this lifetime."

The cold and deep voice startled Josephine, and her hand that was holding the phone also trembled.

After a long while, she heard the voice on the phone, "Don't meddle with things that are none of your business. You just need to do as I say. The drug has been sent to you. Remember to receive it."

Josephine came back to her senses and clenched her phone. "Got it."

Friday night was Helen's birthday banquet. The birthday banquet was held in a private manor in Swallow Valley. As Helen's doctor, Everleigh needed to be present the whole time, in case of any accidents.

It wasn't time for the banquet yet and not all the guests had arrived, but some of them who already had were rich and powerful people from Ocpeace City, who were all wearing expensive clothes.

Everleigh was there to work, so she did not wear a dress. However, it was a banquet after all, so she wore a simple beige professional suit to show her respect.

She was eating in the dessert area out of boredom when a familiar voice came from behind her.

"Everleigh, long time no see."

The moment she heard the voice, Everleigh frowned.

She hadn't seen Josephine since the conflict in Godfrey Mansion last time. What happened that day was so terrible that it was difficult for her to be calm when she saw Josephine again, and to greet her as if nothing had happened.

Since Josephine was already so 'compassionate', Everleigh couldn't afford to be rude.

Everleigh turned around. She wanted to say hello to her, but as soon as she turned around, she saw the person whom she didn't want to see the most, and she suddenly clenched her fists.

It was Mrs. Godfrey who was standing shoulder to shoulder with Josephine. She was staring at Everleigh coldly from a meter away.

When their gazes met, it seemed like the air had condensed, causing everyone to suffocate.

Josephine was the first to speak, breaking the silence. She said in a friendly, yet hypocritical tone, "Recently, I've been on vacation abroad and I only just learned about Grandma's hospitalization. I heard that you saved Grandma, so I thank you on behalf of Theodore."
