Deep Love Hidden From Him novel Chapter 34

Everleigh was very familiar with that voice. She did not have to check the mirror to know who it was.

Selena was still wearing a white coat. She folded her arms and sized up Everleigh. She scoffed, "If I hadn't met Mr. Godfrey today, I would have believed it."

Everleigh frowned and asked, "Believed what?"

"Drop the act." Selena's eyes glowed dangerously, and she sneered, "You think that you can seduce any guy with that pretty face of yours? You have two kids, and you're the shame of the Trevino family. It's Theodore we're talking about, so do you think he'll want someone like you?"

Selena's comments were ear- piercing. Everleigh clenched her fists and asked in disbelief, "Selena, since when were you so rude? Who taught you that?"

Her younger sister was a quiet child. When she left, Selena was still in high school. After seven years, Everyleigh could barely recognize her sister.

"What does it have to do with you? It's the ugly truth." Selena glanced at Everleigh scornfully and added, "Josephine is Theodore's fiancee. I recall that you were her best friend, right? So that's how you know him..."

Selena was implying that Everleigh was cheating on her best friend.

Everleigh's face darkened. "It's not like that."

"Then what is it?"

"This has nothing to do with you." Everleigh was unwilling to bring up her past. Evidently, Selena was scheming against her and Theodore.

"Nothing to do with me? You're keeping your mouth shut because you're ashamed of what you did, right? I can't believe that you're even going after your best friend's man. Everleigh, I underestimated you. Fortunately, the Trevino family kicked you out before you did something worse."

Selena's sarcastic remarks pained Everleigh. It was tormenting, but Everleigh never showed it.

A hint of anger crept into Everleigh's calm eyes. She put down her arm and stood upright. "Are you done?"

She was taller than Selena. Therefore Selena could feel the intimidation coming from her.

Selena retracted her footstep and asked, "What are you doing?"

Everleigh stared at her coldly and pointed out, "Look, my relationship with Theodore has nothing to do with you. You know that he's getting married, so you should keep your distance. You keep bringing up the Trevino family's reputation, so you should practice what you preach. You're the daughter of the Trevino family and a celebrity, so if you have the time to mock me, why don't you mind your own behavior?"

Selena was at a loss for words.

"Before I do something worse? You're trying to flirt with a man who has a fiancee. If Dad finds out about this, you'll be kicked out of the Trevino family too, right?"

"You're threatening me?" Selena's face changed and she hissed, "If you tell Dad..."

"You should know better." Everleigh glanced at her coldly before walking past her. As Everleigh passed Selena, a gust of cold wind lifted Selena's coat, making her shiver inexplicably.

Everleigh's footsteps faded, and Selena came to her senses. She realized that something was wrong. Everleigh threatened to report it to their father but she had no evidence. Moreover, Selena did not do anything!

Everleigh tricked her?

Selena's face darkened.

That woman was horrible! She had not changed!

After returning to the set, Everleigh immediately packed up her things to go home. She was relieved when she did not see Theodore on the set. She left after saying goodbye to the staff members.

It was in the evening when she left the hospital. It was in the suburb. Hence it was not easy to hail a taxi. Everleigh waited for a long time by the road but she did not spot any taxis. Therefore, she followed the navigation on her mobile phone and walked to the nearest bus stop.

The nearest bus stop on the map was over three kilometers away. It took Everleigh half an hour to reach it on foot. When she arrived at the stop, it was getting dark.
