Seeing the look on Selena's face, Christopher said with a disdainful smile, "If you were not Everleigh's sister, I would not even admit that you are my sister-in-law. Do you think that everyone can befriend the Meyer Family?"
His harsh remarks had deeply hurt her. Was he trying to say that the only reason he gave her the time of day was because of Everleigh?
Seeing that she was very agitated by his words to the extent that she couldn't even control her facial expressions, Everleigh stepped in and warned Christopher in a deep voice. "Stop saying such things."
"Okay, I'll do whatever you say." He looked obedient. People who didn't know the truth would really think that he loved his wife dearly.
Seeing them like this, Selena was so angry until she had a stomach ache. She snorted and went somewhere else.
After she had left, Everleigh looked at him reproachfully and said, "You went overboard with how you treated my sister."
"Your sister is hostile towards you. Can't you tell?"
"She's my younger sister. Besides, she is not as bad tempered as you think."
Christopher frowned when she defended Selena as he didn't forget how Selena had set her up previously.
Everleigh only ever saw the best in people.
Then, Felicia came over and saw that the two of them were at loggerheads. Her eyes were full of displeasure. She walked over and said, "Did you annoy Everleigh?"
"I didn't do anything, I swear." He looked at the stern look on his sister's face and felt his heart skip a beat.
He feared his sister most when she looked like this.
"Really?" She asked Everleigh, who was sitting beside him.
She was surprised and nodded her head.
Felicia's gaze was sharp and her short haircut made her look more authoritative. Thus, Christopher felt as if he was standing on hot coals. If he could, he really wanted to go to where his mother was, as anything would be better than this.
"Everleigh, if he bullies you, just tell me. I will have the dean suspend him so he gets to stay home and be a babysitter," Felicia said calmly. However, her tone left no room for questions.
Christopher and Everleigh widened their eyes, and her words made things very awkward.
Christopher in particular wanted to hide away so badly. Did Felicia even consider him her brother?
She was clearly on Everleigh's side.
"You invested in the hospital just so you could control me right? Felicia Meyer, you really are cunning..." He did not finish his words and changed what he was going to say immediately to, "Cunningly smart and super decisive when it comes to decision making. I am very proud of you."
He very reluctantly stopped himself from telling the truth at Felicia's glare.
Alas...
Everleigh immediately laughed at his sudden change.
"It's not that serious."
"Just tell me, I know what kind of person he is." Felicia picked up the glass on the table. From the refraction of the lighting, her eyes seemed to be showing how heartless she was.
Everleigh smiled awkwardly, and reaffirmed to her that there was nothing going on and finally, this matter was over.
However, at this time, an uninvited guest came to the door, and behind him was a small crowd.
Everyone's attention was immediately drawn to the other side, and Everleigh and Christopher's gazes met each other in unison.
After that, they got up and walked over.
