Christopher looked at the time and remained silent. He took out his mobile phone to check the GPS on Everleigh's phone, and it indicated that her phone was nearby. He followed the location shown and found Theodore's car.
Then, he sneered. "Let's see what else you have to say this time."
"I advise you not to take action just yet. Her phone being in the car doesn't explain anything. It's better for us to follow him and we'll have a bigger chance." Stainley also got out of the car without anyone noticing.
Christopher nodded as he agreed with Stainley's point. Theodore would most certainly not give out any piece of information at this point, even if he said that he knew that Everleigh's phone was in his car.
They drove out of there. Since they opted to tail him, they couldn't drive Christopher's car. It was better for them to use another car.
After they left, a man came out from the parking spot next to them and left the parking lot.
This person came to Theodore's office and said respectfully, "Mr. Godfrey, they have already left."
"Mm, get another car for me," Theodore ordered, his eyes still on the documents.
"Yes, sir." Moses nodded. He had to take his hat off to Theodore for even considering this fact. He knew that Christopher would not let him off so easily, so he purposely left the phone in his car.
It was of no significance, even if it was proven to be Everleigh's phone.
After Moses walked out, Theodore put down the documents in his hand. He looked at the view outside of the window with a heavy heart.
The sun rays shone on his body, creating a clear shadow.
It was similar to the sky now, very gloomy.
Meanwhile, Everleigh hadn't eaten anything for the entire day. Her only hope was that she would fall ill, giving her an opening to escape.
The maid stood by her side, holding a bowl of oatmeal in her hand. She looked anxious as she said, "Miss Trevino, please eat something, or Mr. Godfrey will definitely punish me when he returns."
"If you don't want to be punished, then open the door and let me go." Everleigh's face was pale, but her eyes were still firm.
The maid was in a difficult situation. "Miss Trevino, please don't make things difficult for me. I'm just a maid."
Everleigh gave a wry smile. She was right. She was just a maid. No matter how hard she tried, she would only make things difficult for others.
"If that's the case, you can take it away. I won't eat it." Everleigh turned her head away and refused to say anything else.
Seeing that she was so stubborn, the maid did not say anything else. With a light sigh, she had no choice but to turn around and return to the kitchen.
When Theodore returned, he saw Everleigh sitting on the sofa watching something in the distance. Furthermore, her expression wasn't very good.
"Mr. Godfrey, you're back." The maid called out from the kitchen.
Theodore's expression was as cold as ice. He walked to her side and said after a while, "Do you really think you can leave by starving yourself?"
"It's none of your business," Everleigh replied in a cold voice, without even giving him a look.
He clenched his fists but couldn't do anything to her.
No matter what he did, she refused to eat. She was held captive, and her mobile phone was not with her. There was no way for her to ask for help.
That was why she resorted to starving herself.
Theodore was working in the study at night. Everleigh was already so hungry that she was trapped in a daze and she laid on the sofa without moving.
The maid tried to persuade her to eat, but it was to avail.
She felt as if someone was hugging her while she was asleep. She opened her eyes and saw his handsome and charming face.
Theodore sent her back to her room. He reached out to touch her face and said in a gentle voice, "Your temper hasn't changed at all."
