Abraham was no fool; he knew what had happened to her.
"Do you know what Selena is doing?"
"I heard she got into a new play and is at the stage of filming," Everleigh replied, not wanting to tell him about Selena's situation.
He frowned and asked, "Does she have a boyfriend?"
She raised her head; she didn't know how to answer his question. Selena came over and happened to hear this question.
"Yes, I have a boyfriend and he's a scriptwriter. Dad, I'll take you to see him when I have time."
He turned around and asked, "A scriptwriter? Can he afford to support you financially?"
"Dad, his family does business in transportation. It's just that he wants to chase after his own dream," she explained.
Hearing this, Everleigh was a little surprised, "Have you met his family?"
"Well, I've seen them, but not in a formal meeting," Selena replied with a slightly distressed and aggrieved look in her eyes.
Everleigh frowned. What kind of expression was that? Weren't people in love supposed to be happy? Why was she looking like this now?
Abraham also noticed her expression and let out a soft sigh. "As long as you're happy," he said.
The corners of Selena's mouth twitched as she tried to suppress the sadness in her heart.
They no longer asked any more questions.
Everleigh called Theodore to ask if he knew anything about Jorben's family. Right at the moment when he asked her what was going on, he immediately understood before she could give him an explanation. "Wait, I'll look into it right now," he said. Then, he hung up the phone.
At the same time, he called Leon. He should have the right to know about this matter. After all... He had also invested in Selena's new play.
He said it was for the sake of profit, but everyone knew that he did it for her.
It didn't matter how much money he had to spend. As long as he could support her, he was willing to do it.
After Leon knew about it, he conducted a full-fledged investigation and found out that Selena was treated poorly when she met Jorben's mother.
Leon passed on the information to Everleigh right away because he didn't want to be involved anymore.
After finished reading, Everleigh asked Selena, "What does Jorben's family think of you?"
"Why are you asking about this? I'm marrying Jorben, not his family." It's obvious that Selena did not want to answer that question.
Seeing her reaction, Everleigh was sure that the members of Pratt family were not nice to her.
"Selena, there is no use pretending to be happy. Why do you have to mistreat yourself if you aren't happy? You are already a grown up woman. Can't you differentiate who is good and who is bad to you? When I left, you were angry with me for so many years; that's how proud and arrogant you are. Why can't you be more considerate towards yourself when it comes to your own happiness?"
Selena lowered her eyes and didn't know what to say.
Everleigh patted her on the shoulder and said, "Selena, think about it. This will only happen once in your life. I don't want you to have any regrets." After saying that, she got up and left.
She had already spoken her mind. Whatever decision Selena planned to make, it was up to her.
After Everleigh left, Selena burst into tears, not knowing whether it was because of herself or her sister's words.
At the hospital, Everleigh was going through with her usual routine, and Christopher looked for her in a hurry.
"Everleigh."
"What's wrong? Why are you in such a hurry?"
"Derick sent a message," he said solemnly; his face looked cold.
Her face darkened. She asked, "Where is he?"
"He was taken away. When our people arrived, they happened to bump into Wilson's men. There was no one in the house at all. It's as if he had disappeared."
"Where could he be?" She did not believe that a person could disappear into thin air. Someone must have been there, or he must've found something wrong and ran away.
