Chapter 676 It Was Missha Elvir snorted. "I call it 'doing the public a good deed and defending the marriages of other families'." Everleigh felt her laugh bubbling up. Doing good for the public? Wasn't he signing himself up for a sure-fire way to bring trouble upon himself? Obviously, he had been beaten up by someone else.
In the evening, Alastair, Adrienne and Theodore cover together. Alastair put down his bag and began to pore over the documents.
Everleigh couldn't help but feel pleased to see that her son was able to handle matters at such a young age. Then she looked at Adrienne, who was stuffing her face with food.
"Alas, why is there such a big gap between the two of them?" Theodore listened to her words with sconfusion.
"Isn't that nice of Adrienne?" "As a girl you should be self-reliant, lest you lose your ability to live when a man can't be relied upon." This was what Everleigh had thought when she was a child.
Hearing this, Theodore gave Alastair a meaningful look. "It doesn't matter. If her husband doesn't provide for her, let Alastair do it." Alastair sat on the couch and listened to Theodore's words. His hand halted for a moment.
"She has to learn to stand on her own two feet. I'll have a wife and children to support in the future.” Alastair's words were simply astonishing.
Theodore and Everleigh were a little surprised. Alastair hadn't said that before.
Adrienne turned her head and looked at him. "Nope, I'll stay in your house and won't budge." Alastair rolled his eyes at her. Couldn't his sister have gotten a little more aspiring? Such an idea was not good at all.
Adrienne's childish and angry voice made Everleigh laugh. It was surprising that she had such an opinion.
The following day, Theodore took Alastair and Adrienne shopping. It was a rare vacation, so he wanted to get something tasty.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAfter they left, Everleigh received a call from Elvir.
"Yes?" "I found sclues in Qusay's belongings; I'm coming over to show you now." "Great." Hearing his words, Everleigh was a little excited.
She didn't know what the clues meant.
However, having a clue was good; it was better than nothing.
When Elvir cin, he saw Missha enter before he had a chance to speak.
"Everleigh..." Before Missha could finish her words, she saw Elvir standing to the side. Her expression stiffened as she asked, "You are... Elvir?" "Long tno see, Miss Jenkins." "It's really you. I haven't seen you for so many years. You've really changed a lot, I don't even recognize you," Missha said, astounded.
When Elvir first cto the Jenkins family, he had been a handsyoung man. Who would have thought that he had turned into such a different man? Elvir's showed a bitter smile. "True, everyone has changed a lot. Only you haven't changed much, Miss Jenkins.” "I'm getting older. Even if I take good care of myself, I can't compare to the younger ones." Missha reached out her hand and touched her face.
She could feel how much she had changed these days.
Everleigh looked at Missha, who in fact looked really bad.
This time, she cback looking a little sickly.
"Of course not. Miss Jenkins, you are as elegant as ever." Elvir was telling the truth.
After so many years, she was no different from before.
She remained beautiful.
However, no one could have foreseen the change in her heart, and she was no longer the snoble lady as before.
"That reminds me, why are you here? Everleigh..." "I had an accident, so Mr. Carter cto visit me. Speaking of which, thank you, sir, for your kindness." Everleigh made up a story off the top of her head.
She couldn't tell Missha that it was because of Qusay.
"Thank you so much, Mr. Carter.” Missha did not doubt it. After all, they were friends, so it was normal for him to visit.
As she tried to speak, Missha's mobile phone rang. It was her secretary calling.
"What's wrong?" "Okay, send it tonow," Missha instructed and hung up the phone. She looked at her niece guiltily. "Everleigh, I have to make copies of the documents. I'll cback later." "Of course." Everleigh nodded in response.
After Missha left, both of them didn't mention Qusay. They knew that Missha would cback at any time.
"Mr. Carter, please sit down and have sfruits. My aunt is always busy." "No problem." Elvir was in no hurry. He sat down, picked up a banana, and started eating it.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for Missha to cback. She was walking a little anxiously with a few sheets of paper in her hand and her face slightly flushed.
"Aunt, what is this?" Everleigh picked it up and looked at it. It was in French, sof which she didn't even recognize.
Even though her French was good, when it cto vocabulary in business, she really couldn't understand it. "It's an important document. I need to sign it and send it to them," Missha said as she got her pen and signed it. When she wrote the date, the number 13 cout looking like a B.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThere was also a tick behind it.
Seeing this, there was a change in Everleigh's and Elvir's expressions; their eyes filled with disbelief. "Aunt, what's the number you wrote?" "The number 13. It looks weird, huh? I learned it from someone else. I didn't think it would form a habit," Missha answered without looking up.
Everleigh's expression beceven more odd. Elvir's eyes were as cold as ice, and his solemn expression did not change in the slightest.
After Missha finished writing, she called her secretary and made scomments. Afterwards, she noticed that Everleigh's face was pale. She frowned and asked, "What happened to you? Why do you look so awful?"
"Nothing, it's just a little headache. Aunt, if you have anything to do go ahead," Everleigh sand and rubbed her head, as if she was afraid that her aunt wouldn't believe her. Missha was still ill at ease. "Are you really okay?" "I'm really fine. I've been like this for the past few days. I get a headache everyday at this time. Dr. Harrison has already said that it's from being overstimulated." Missha saw that Everleigh didn't look like she was lying and believed it. “Well, if you're not feeling well, call the nurse quickly." "Don't worry, Mr. Carter is here," Everleigh explained.
Missha nodded to Elvir and then left the ward.
He walked to the door and watched Missha's back disappear completely into the hallway before he turned around.
"Did you see that?" Everleigh asked, her face grave.
He nodded. He had wanted to talk to her about it. "I noticed a reference to the Jenkins family on the back of Qusay's check. I suspect that it has something to do with them." Everleigh smiled bitterly. Now, it was confirmed that the Jenkins family was involved, and that person was probably Missha.
"Mommy." Adrienne's voice interrupted their conversation.
Everleigh put away her thoughts and smiled faintly. "Adrienne, why did you guys cback so late? I'm starving." "It was Daddy who wanted to get you the latest dessert, so we took stcoming back," Adrienne explained.
Everleigh's heart warmed when she heard this. “Where is it?" "It's with Daddy."
