Everleigh shook her head. "Nothing. Let's go back now, I'm a little tired."
Theodore's eyes dimmed. Without saying another word, he started the car and headed to the Trevino family's home.
The next morning, Everleigh was woken up by Adrienne's crying.
She knew that something was wrong, so she hurried downstairs without even changing her clothes.
When she got downstairs, she saw Melissa swearing like crazy. She looked nothing like an elegant, graceful lady.
Adrienne was scared out of her wits. She hugged Abraham's legs tightly as she cried loudly.
Hilda and the security guards were trying to chase her out of the door.
"Everleigh, you little b*tch! Are you trying to ruin my whole family?"
"Shut up! Drag her out, and call the police!" Abraham shouted furiously. If Adrienne wasn't holding his legs, he would have given Melissa a kick.
Selena was awakened by the noise too. She came down in a daze and asked, "Who is this person?"
"Aunt Melissa, please stop this nonsense." Everleigh's deep voice rang out, and everyone there immediately went silent.
Seeing Everleigh walking over, Melissa became more infuriated. "It's all your fault! My husband and daughter were thrown in jail because of you! And you're even stopping Saniogo from doing anything! You little b*tch, why didn't you go to hell together with your parents?"
Abraham and Selena were both enraged when they heard her words, especially Selena. She had said something like that before, but now that she was hearing someone else say it, it sounded really hurtful.
"Madam, do you know what you're talking about? We have the right to sue you," she shouted unhappily.
"Sure, come at me! Throw us all in jail, you d*mn b*tch!" Melissa couldn't control her anger. Her face looked incredibly ferocious.
Everleigh turned her head and glanced at Adrienne. There were tears in her eyes, but she was trying her best to control it.
Alastair, on the other hand, was staring at Melissa with his cold eyes.
If she continued swearing and cursing at them, he would not let her go.
"Aunt Melissa, to be honest, Uncle Yeezoo and Cynthia asked for it. I've never wanted to take anything away from you, but all of you are constantly trying to put me in trouble." Everleigh's eyes were slightly cold. She wasn't showing any sympathy for her at all.
People like Melissa took everyone for granted. If Everleigh showed them any kindness or sympathy, they would think that she was afraid of them.
"If it wasn't for you, would they even be jailed? Everleigh, you shouldn't have appeared in the family from the very beginning."
"Well, since I've already appeared in the family, there's no use quarreling with me right now. Aunt Melissa, you're a member of a prestigious family after all. Why can't you understand such simple logic?"
"Don't you dare scare me or suppress me with your status. Let me tell you something. Now that I'm here, I'll make sure that you won't step out of this door until you release my family." Melissa sounded like a complete virago who had lost every bit of her elegance.
Everleigh's lips curled up as she glanced at Abraham. "Dad, do you know her?"
"I know her parents. Melissa is an aggressive and bad- tempered woman. If it wasn't for the overindulgence of her parents, she wouldn't have become a woman like this," he replied in a low voice.
When Melissa's family and Yeezoo's family were first connected through marriage, it was just like a fairytale. However, as time passed, it was impossible for them to return to the past.
Yeezoo was never a favorite in the family. However, since the two of them were madly in love, Melissa's parents couldn't go against it. Moreover, Yeezoo was still a part of the Jenkins family after all. His family was somewhat reputable, so her family reluctantly agreed.
"Oh, so Cynthia's bad behavior runs in her family." Everleigh suddenly said, as if she had finally understood everything that was going on.
Hearing that, Melissa was even more displeased. "Of course my daughter needs to be loved, unlike you, you orphan. No one likes you, and no one cares about you. An orphan like you doesn't have the right to talk about Cynthia. I know, you're just jealous of her, and that's why you want her dead, right?"
When Everleigh heard it, she found it ridiculously hilarious.
