Cynthia couldn't bear to see Annie being criticized like that. She looked at her cousin and said, "Alexander, why are you talking to Annie like that? She was just worried about me. Besides, she is likely to join our family in the future. Aren't you a little too harsh on her?"
"Cynthia." Annie's face blushed as Cynthia had exposed her secret. She was really embarrassed about it.
She liked Alexander for sure, but it just couldn't be said out loud in front of everyone.
Alexander's eyes turned cold, and he didn't say a single word.
"That's enough. I'm not here today to learn about your relationships. I just want to know, do you really want my shares?" Yeezoo spoke.
"You have two options, and the choice is yours." Saniogo had made up his mind.
No one could change his mind anymore.
Yeezoo nodded in dissatisfaction. "Fine... Well played!" Then, he walked straight out the door after saying that.
When Cynthia saw him leave, she followed him
out too.
Apart from the servants, only Annie, Alexander and Saniogo were left in the living room.
Annie sat on the sofa and felt a little uneasy. "Mr. Jenkins, I'll go up now."
"Sure, rest well." Although Saniogo wasn't pleased with her actions, he didn't say anything about it.
After all, she was a guest from the Lawson family. There were some things that simply couldn't be said.
The butler knew that Saniogo wanted to talk to Alexander alone, so he turned around and left with the other servants.
He wanted to give the father and son some privacy.
"Dad... What are we going to do about Uncle Yeezoo?" Alexander asked.
"Just do as I say. I'd rather compensate him for the breach of contract than to give him more profit." Saniogo was firm with his decision. He would never use the company's funding to cover the losses.
Alexander sighed softly, "Dad, I feel that Aunt Missha is just causing us more trouble." "You can't blame her either. She is abroad, so she doesn't know anything," Saniogo replied indifferently. Since Yeezoo had already been released, there was no reason to put him back in jail again.
Alexander turned his head and looked at Saniogo's face that was full of worries and troubles. His hair was even whiter than before.
He looked much better a few days ago.
"Dad, is it because of Everleigh's matter?"
"Yeah, Everleigh isn't wrong. After all, anyone could be a suspect back then," Saniogo said as he let out a soft sigh. His eyes were filled with mixed emotions.
Alexander understood her standpoint as well, so he didn't look for her all the while.
He wanted to investigate everything thoroughly before showing her the results.
The night passed in the blink of an eye. Everleigh slept soundly. After washing up the next morning, she brought Alastair and Adrienne over to the hospital to visit Xavier.
She wasn't on duty that day, but she still went to the hospital.
Theodore was there as well. He brought quite a lot of snacks with him, including one of Xavier's favorite foods.
Everleigh smelled blue cheese as soon as she entered the ward. "Who's eating that?"
"It's Xavier's favorite food. He was once scolded badly by Madison just because he ate it. From then on, he never dared to eat it again," Theodore explained.
She had never expected such a thing to happen. Besides, it was just some food after all; it wasn't something bad.
Theodore placed the blue cheese on the countertop, and the entire room was filled with the smell of the stinky blue cheese.
"Mommy, it's really stinky!" Adrienne pinched her nose and exclaimed.
Everleigh also felt that the smell was a little unpleasant. If it continued spreading, the nurses on duty would definitely warn them.
"I think you'd better take it out. Otherwise, when the nurse comes in later, she might be unhappy about it," she advised.
Theodore nodded and placed it in a corner to be taken away.
