Theodore frowned. It was obvious that there was a hidden meaning behind her words.
"Did you find out something?"
"The hospital gave me a call at noon, saying that the investigation team has confirmed that it had nothing to do with me. Now, they have officially sued the woman for defamation. Tell me, she was still crying so badly in front of the camera this morning, and now they have confirmed that I'm innocent. Isn't it embarrassing for her?" Everleigh explained.
Hearing that she was happy, his heart was finally at ease.
"What are you planning to do next? Do you want to have dinner tonight?" He wanted to know her plans and strategies.
She chuckled, "Did you think that I would be sad?"
"I'm just worried that you will overeat because you're too happy, and get gastric pain again," he teased her.
Her smile grew even wider. He rarely made such jokes in the past, but now he had really changed a lot. He actually knew how to make her happy.
"Don't worry. I have a big appetite today, so I can eat as much as I want."
Theodore knew her well; he could tell that she was genuinely joyful.
He then said nothing else.
Everleigh wore a long white dress that day. She looked elegant and graceful. Her eyes were even more mesmerizing.
In the living room of the Jenkins family home, Luqman, Yeezoo, and their families were all sitting on the sofa. They were rather curious as to why Alexander would suddenly treat them to dinner.
"Saniogo, is there something wrong with Alexander? Why did he suddenly invite us all for dinner?"
"It's his idea, I don't know what is going on too," he replied; he didn't understand either.
However, Cynthia didn't care about it. She had seen the news that day, and it made her really satisfied.
She would never believe that Everleigh could still work at the city hospital after the whole incident.
On the other hand, Linggon put down his teacup and said, "I heard that something bad has happened to Yasmine. It's about some misdiagnosis that has led to a big fuss."
Tve received the news too. It seems she has been suspended from her duties at the hospital," Fenna chimed in.
Despite saying so, they weren't concerned about it at all.
It sounded just like a casual chit-chat.
Saniogo's brows furrowed. "When did this happen? How come I didn't know about it?"
"Master, you've been in the study room for the whole day, so it's normal for you to not receive this news," the butler reminded him.
Saniogo looked back at him; his eyes were full of worry.
Cynthia, on the other hand, said coldly, "Well, I guess karma is real. Maybe it's her arrogance that let her down this time."
"You shut up," Saniogo chided.
She crossed her arms and didn't say anything else. She thought she was just saying the truth, and that there wasn't anything wrong with it.
Shortly after, Alexander and Everleigh came in together. She had put on some light makeup, which made her look very lively.
She didn't look like a person in trouble at all.
Seeing her walking over, Saniogo asked hurriedly, "Everleigh, what's the matter? Why are you accused of misdiagnosis?" "I'll explain it to you later. Uncle, can we have dinner yet? I'm starving." She didn't want to talk about it just yet; she wanted to save the best for the last.
She didn't seem to be bothered by it, so he didn't ask anymore questions.
Since Alexander invited the whole family over for dinner, he had certainly prepared a plethora of dishes. When Cynthia saw that there was exotic food like frog legs and foie gras, her appetite dropped instantly.
"Alexander, if you're treating us to dinner, at least buy food that's edible and appetizing."
