Deep Love Hidden From Him novel Chapter 204

"That's enough!"

The study room was eerily quiet, leaving only Theodore's cold deep words reverberating in the vast space.

Everleigh stopped unbuttoning her shirt suddenly. When she saw him coming out from behind the desk, she couldn't help but take two steps back, clutching her collar.

When Theodore saw this, he asked, "What are you afraid of?"

The gloominess in his eyes was something that Everleigh had never seen before. She retreated as if it was a natural reflex. The moment her calf hit the leg of the sofa, Theodore took a big step forward, closing in on her.

"Ah..."

With a scream, Everleigh fell backward. Before she could come back to her senses, a huge shadow loomed over her head and enveloped her.

She struggled in horror. "Let me go!"

Theodore was very strong, and he pressed down on her shoulder, pinning her to the sofa and rendering her unable to move.

A suffocating question came from above Everleigh. "Didn't you say that you could do anything for the sake of the Trevino family? Things are about to happen, but do you regret it?"

Everleigh's expression went stiff. The moment she looked at the man in front of her, her heart seemed empty, as if all the good things from the past were hollowed out all of a sudden.

Thinking of the declining stock price of the Trevino Group, the denouncement of the board of directors and most importantly, the fact that her father was still being interrogated and detained in the police station, Everleigh laughed bitterly in her heart. She slowly closed her eyes and stopped struggling.

If this was what Theodore wanted, she would give it to him.

"As long as you don't harm the Trevino family again, I'll do as you please."

There was no emotion in her words. She was like a marionette, like a walking corpse without a soul or thoughts. She laid on the sofa as if she was waiting for someone to cut her open.

Everleigh had her eyes closed, so she couldn't see the anger in Theodore's eyes.

When Theodore saw that the woman beneath him didn't seem to have any intention of struggling, he felt as if something was stuck in his chest. He wished he could dig out her heart and see what it was made of.

She could act without hesitation for the sake of the Trevino family. It was as if there was nothing in the world that she would care about other than them. It was so callous that it made one's heart grow cold.

"Everleigh, how valuable do you think your body is?"

An indifferent mockery came from the top of her head. The moment Everleigh opened her eyes, her shoulders suddenly felt light.

Theodore shook off her hand and said coldly, "Get out of here."

Everleigh gritted her teeth and stared at him.

"My father..."

"Get out!"

Theodore's cold voice echoed in the room, and every word was so cold that it made people tremble.

Looking at Theodore's cold and indifferent back, Everleigh felt that everything she wanted to say was stuck in her throat. The humiliation was overwhelming, almost engulfing all of her self-esteem. She regretted coming here impulsively. Right now, all she wanted to do was escape.

She did not know how she left the study room. Her mind was in a state of panic and disarray, and her steps were unsteady.
