Mrs. Godfrey's angry voice echoed in the room, ringing loud in everyone's ears.
Everleigh stood up to her, her eyes cold as ice.
"Mrs. Godfrey, you have used such a way to destroy my reputation. Are you not also ignoring my existence?"
"Whatever I did does not justify whatever you’ ve done. You've caused Helen's death; how dare you stand here and talk to me in this manner?" Mrs. Godfrey hated the sight of Everleigh.
It was all this woman's fault that her son treated her like an enemy.
"Mrs. Godfrey, statements should be backed up with evidence. You are saying that she killed Madam Helen, but there is nothing to support your statement." Dr. Harrison also stood up and protected Everleigh behind him. He wouldn’t want anything to happen to her.
She felt touched at the sight of Dr. Harrison standing up for her.
"Tell me then, how did my mother-in-law die without any reason?"
"A heart transplant surgery always has its own risks. Your son was well aware of this fact, but he still signed his consent nevertheless. No one wanted to see Madam Helen's parting, but you should not blame others for this," Stainley said firmly as he stood up.
No matter what, they knew that they were on the right side.
Everleigh would certainly not be punished for this, just based on mere words.
Mrs. Godfrey saw that they were all angry with her, so she stretched out her fingers and pointed at them, her hands trembling.
"Well, aren't you all on the same side. Trying to bring me down, are you? Well, I'll show you what I'm made of." Mrs. Godfrey was burning with anger as she turned around and left.
Mr. Lawson looked at her retreating figure worriedly. He couldn't possibly guess what she would do after this.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for Mrs. Godfrey to stop the hospital's resources and funds, making Mr. Lawson even more busy. There were too many shenanigans like this, so it was meaningless for him to drive Everleigh out of the hospital at this point.
That would make him one who broke his promises.
Mr. Lawson called Theodore several times but no one picked up. He was at a loss.
Being the middleman sure was hard as hell.
When Christopher came to the hospital and learned that Everleigh had come back, he was overjoyed. However, he looked extremely haggard, as if he hadn't slept in days.
"I thought you went to a nightclub? Why did you end up in this state? Did the girls' beauty make you become like this?" Everleigh's questions further deteriorated his bad mood.
"Don't even mention it. I have been waiting there for days but to no avail. I even ran into my sister there. You can't even imagine how embarrassed I was. I won't be going there for the time being." He couldn't help but be angry about that.
He wasn't there to have fun, but to handle serious matters. He still had his dignity after all.
Everleigh was surprised. She didn't expect him to have met Felicia by coincidence.
"So, you're saying... You haven't found it?"
He nodded, looking dejected and helpless. He then looked up and added, "Tell my sister to not freeze my credit card, otherwise I can't even go to the nightclub to help you investigate."
"It's not that I don't want to help you. I just think that I don't have any say in this." In the past, she was still the so-called daughter-in-law of the Meyer family and had a little say about things. However, they were not really married. What should she say about this?
"I..." Before Everleigh finished her words, her cell phone rang. It was a call from Felicia.
Well, never talk about others behind their backs.
"Hello."
