Abraham had experienced the fickleness of life. He believed that one should never take things too lightly, otherwise, things would just worsen.
It would be really hard to explain everything by then.
Everleigh was silent for a long moment. She wanted to say something, but just couldn't.
She understood it, but she didn't want to dig herself into a deeper hole.
The more she explained, the more people would think that she was guilty.
As a result, like what her father had said, everyone thought that she was the one at fault.
He also talked about how chaotic life was living in a wealthy, influential family.
Abraham's phone didn't stop ringing. It was all from the Trevino family's relatives who had called to ask him about the matter.
"Is the news true?"
"Are you all blind? Can't you see that someone is trying to defame her?" Abraham chided.
Those relatives seemed like they were concerned and worried about Everleigh, but the truth was, they just wanted to know if the incident would affect their future.
In the end, he decided to ignore all the phone calls.
Seeing that, Alastair tried to help as well. Unfortunately, he didn't have the influence and couldn't do anything about it, so had no choice but to give Theodore a call.
"Alastair."
"What are your views on the matter on the Internet?" Alastair's deep voice couldn't cover up his child-like tone.
Theodore smirked, "What are your plans?"
"You haven't explained it yet, so I believe that you have an idea in mind. Tell me, and we'll see if it is appropriate." Alastair's mature look didn't match his cute, young face.
He had to admit that Theodore was a capable man. If not, he wouldn't have noticed that Everleigh was being bullied.
"I do have a plan, but your mother might not necessarily agree with it."
"Are you planning to reveal our true identities?" Alastair asked sternly.
It wasn't that he had never thought about it; it was just that he had never talked about it. He wanted to reveal it, but he felt that if he really did so, things would become extremely complicated.
What's more, the most important thing was that it would bring shame to the Meyer family. Everleigh and Christopher's marriage was announced to the public back then, but now, they wanted to reveal that she was actually involved with another man. Wouldn't it be more troublesome if word got out?
Theodore's expression was solemn. He shared the same thought too.
What about the Meyer family?
The Meyer family was also one of the Four Greatest Households. If the public was to find out about it, the situation would definitely worsen.
That was the reason why Theodore didn't take any action yet.
If he wanted to announce it to the public, he would have to talk about it with the Meyer family first.
Suddenly, the father-and-son duo fell silent.
In the evening, Theodore went to the hospital. When he saw that Christopher and Everleigh were both in Abraham's ward, he felt disheartened.
"Everleigh."
"Why did you come over?" She was rather surprised to see him. He just said that he was busy earlier that day.
Christopher crossed his arms and looked at him with a funny look.
"What are you laughing at?"
"I'm laughing at you. When are you going to take action? How can you stay out of this matter when Everleigh is already in such big trouble?" Christopher questioned straightforwardly. He initially wanted to ask them about a solution.
Now that Theodore was there, it saved him a lot of hassle.
He might as well make everything clear there.
"Have you come up with a solution?"
"Yes, but it's not good news for the Meyer family," Theodore finally answered after a long moment of silence.
Christopher's face stiffened. "Wait, are you going to announce Everleigh's true identity?"
"I'm planning to do so, but I have to announce it before you do." Theodore had to announce it before the Meyer family did, or else her reputation would be even worse.
She might even get kicked out of the Meyer family.
