Christopher suddenly realized that Theodore's thinking was exceptional.
"You're indeed a wicked man," he said unhappily.
Theodore's deep gaze was like a projector that could read his mind. "Christopher, you're not stupid either. Are you sure you only noticed a few things in that wealthy family?"
Christopher stood up furiously. What did Theodore mean by 'only noticed a few things'? He had really seen a lot in the Jenkins family, but his comprehension and experience just couldn't be compared to Theodore's. He was simply so intelligent that he even managed to win Everleigh's heart.
He didn't want to be blamed, so he let someone else be sacrificed.
What a genius.
Christopher was enraged, so he rushed straight back to his own room to rest.
That night, the three of them were all upset. The main reason was because they all suspected that the incident probably had something to do with the Jenkins family.
The next day, Everleigh was still in a bad mood. It was obvious that she didn't have a good sleep. When Christopher came to her room, he said, "Let's go. The hospital wants us there."
"Okay." She couldn't meet Missha, so it was better for her to go to work.
Theodore didn't follow them. Instead, he instructed Moses to investigate whether the person had really died two years ago or not.
Moses informed him, "Mr. Godfrey, this person changed his identity and entered the company twenty years ago."
Theodore had a weird feeling, and he became even more suspicious of Missha.
"Can you find his family?"
"It's really challenging, as he's changed his name. It won't be easy to find them."
"I don't care how long it takes. Find him."
"Yes," Moses replied.
Theodore didn't believe that there was no clue about that person at all.
Over at the hospital, Everleigh couldn't focus on work. Christopher had to wake her up from her daydream several times. Finally, it was breaktime. He poured her a glass of water and comforted her, "You don't have to be too sad. I'm just guessing." "Christopher, we've known each other for so many years. How can I not know what kind of person you are? More than half of your 'guesses' are usually the truth." She had figured out the night before that the two men probably already knew what was going on.
However, she didn't want to believe it.
"If your family members did such a thing, what would you do?" Everleigh asked him all of a sudden.
Christopher's expression stiffened. He sighed and answered, "Actually, I don't know either. From an objective point of view, anyone who has done something wrong must be punished. However, from an emotional standpoint, I really don't know what to do."
"Your answer is basically useless."
"What else can I say? Everleigh, no one is perfect. We must make difficult choices in life. If you didn't have a strong relationship with your parents, you can choose to forget about it, but deep down in your heart, is this really what you want?"
She went silent. It was an important decision. She had to choose between morality and family.
The three of them stayed there for a few days, and were about to return home.
Missha called Everleigh and wanted to meet her. She agreed to it.
When they met up, Missha introduced her to several of her close business partners.
Everleigh looked at the foreigners who were all in their thirties. It made her a little uncomfortable.
"Miss Jenkins, I did not expect your niece to be so gorgeous!"
"The children in our family are all very goodlooking," Missha responded proudly.
Everleigh put on a shy smile, feeling quite awkward.
"Miss Trevino, may I ask what line of work you are currently in?" One of them asked.
"I'm a doctor, and I'm actually here for an exchange program," Everleigh explained.
The few of them were surprised to hear that. They couldn't imagine that such a beautiful woman was actually a doctor.
