When the banquet was about to end, the butler came in a hurry and said something in Helen's ear.
Helen frowned slightly and said, "He left early? Is he alone?"
"No, Mr. Theodore left through the back door and avoided everyone. I saw him holding a person, but I didn't see who it was as the face was covered."
Helen frowned even more when she heard that. She seemed to have thought of something and she looked around the banquet hall. However, she did not see the figure she wanted to see. She suddenly smiled.
"Alright, don't worry about him. Just let him do what he wants."
"Do you know who Mr. Theodore has taken away?"
"Does it need to be said?" Helen looked into the distance meaningfully. "Some people go for wool and come home shorn, then lose the bait along with the fish."
Following Helen's gaze, the butler saw Mrs.
Godfrey and Josephine talking in the distance, but he didn't know who Helen was referring to.
"You're saying that Madam Godfrey is..."
"You don't need to call her Madam in the future." Helen's tone was a little grim. "A lot of things have happened recently. I think she has stayed in the Godfrey family for too long and has been indulged too much. She can't even tell right from wrong."
"After all, Mr. Allen is her nephew. It can't be Madam Godfrey who did it, right?"
"She was the one who led the wolf into the room, wasn't she?"
Helen snorted coldly. Her eyes were full of shrewdness and wisdom. "This little trick won't be able to fool me."
The butler said thoughtfully, "Would you like to greet Miss Yvette?"
Helen waved her hand and said with a calm face, "It's okay if they break off the engagement. Let the young people handle their own affairs. This little monkey, Leon, hasn't made us feel at ease since he was a child. I've never thought he would win this marriage from the beginning."
Hearing Helen's words, the butler said nothing else.
Helen had been alive for so long, so she had seen everything. What happened that day might be ridiculous or shameful in other people's eyes, but it was nothing to her.
Through these trivial matters, she was even more convinced that it was not suitable for certain people to stay in the Godfrey family.
After the banquet, the cars in Swallow Manor left one after another, and the whole manor gradually quieted down.
Everleigh was in a deep sleep.
In a daze, she felt very cold and was very uncomfortable. She also heard a lot of noise. After a long time, she felt as if someone had called her name, and then she fell into a familiar embrace.
The familiar feeling convinced her further that this was a dream, the usual dream of the past seven years.
She was awakened by the chirping of birds outside the window.
The curtain wasn't closed properly and a glimmer of light came in through the gaps of the curtain. It shone on her face and her pajamas. She sat up while holding her aching temple.
Everleigh subconsciously reached to the bedside to take her mobile phone, but it wasn't there.
When she turned around and saw the white marble ornaments on the bedside, she was stunned for a moment. Only then did she realize that she was in an unfamiliar environment.
"Knock, Knock!" The door was knocked from the outside.
She became alert in an instant. She clutched the quilt and looked at the door.
With a creak, the door was pushed open from the outside. The maid opened the door. When she saw Everleigh sitting on the bed, she was stunned. "Dr. Trevino, are you awake?"
Everleigh looked at her warily and asked, "Where is this?"
