Everleigh looked up and saw Selena's phone screen, and there were photos of a report. On the bottom right corner, Theodore's name was signed and an official seal of Godfrey Group was stamped. "Open your eyes. You're the one who made all these sh*t happen!"

The signature was like a hammer, slamming heavily on Everleigh's heart, making her stiff all over. She couldn't say a word of rebuttal, and her brain was buzzing.

It really was Theodore's doing. She couldn't be more familiar with that handwriting.

She should have known earlier that he wasn't the Theodore from seven years ago, who would give in to her.

He was the president of Godfrey Group, and he had been dominating the business world of Ocpeace City all these years. He was not the kind of person who would give in easily. He would get what he wanted by any means, and he would never let others get what he couldn't have, even if the cost was to destroy it.

'Which one of you is the family member of Abraham?" A voice came from the police hall.

Everleigh and Selena looked up almost at the same time.

Everleigh moved her lips a little but did not make a sound.

"I am," Selena looked at Everleigh coldly and said, "If you really know what's best for the Trevino family and Dad, you should leave Ocpeace City and never come back."

Leaving those harsh words behind, Selena walked into the hall with her high heels.

After she left, Hilda helped Everleigh to her feet.

Everleigh's mind was in a whirl. The moment when she stood up, she felt like the sky and earth were spinning. Looking at Selena's distant figure, she felt dizzy and almost couldn't stand steadily. Hilda helped her up in a hurry and asked worriedly, "Ms. Everleigh, are you alright?"

Everleigh forced a smile and said, "I'm fine, Hilda."

"Ms. Eveleigh, don't take Ms. Selena's words to heart. She is a person with a sharp tongue, but a soft heart. She was anxious about Master Abraham which caused her to act like this. There must be some misunderstanding." Everleigh almost didn't listen to what Hilda said.

She pulled out her arm that was being held, turned away and walked out of the police station.

"Ms. Everleigh, where are you going? Aren't you going to see Master Abraham?"

Everleigh seemed to have heard nothing, leaving Hilda's voice behind. Her mind was full of the signature on the report that Selena had shown her just now.

The Ocpeace City Welfare Association was founded by the government and was established with the alliance of more than 50 large households. It had always aimed to perform social charity, contributing to society at the same time as developing their businesses.

Theodore was one of the representatives of the association, and also the one holding the greatest amount of authority in his words. Therefore, it was self-evident for Theodore's words to hold a lot of importance.

"Sorry, the number you've dialed can't be reached for the time being. Please try again later..."

She couldn't get through to Theodore. Everleigh was dejected, and she dialed Moses's number immediately. "Where's Theodore?"

At the other end of the line, Moses was obviously stunned. "Mr. Godfrey? He is on a business trip."

"Is he really on a business trip?"

He even sent a public report the day before, so how could he be on a business trip today? Who was he playing?

"You... You knew about it?"

"Yes, I know everything." Everleigh held the phone tightly and tried to make her voice sound calm. "I'm going to replace him now, so tell me where he is!"

Moses sighed and said, "Mr. Godfrey has been staying in the Godfrey Mansion during this time. He didn't mean to keep it from you. The main reason is that he doesn't want..."

Before Moses could finish, Everleigh hung up the phone immediately.

She started the car, stomped on the gas pedal, and drove out swiftly.

The scenery on the street outside the window was slipping by rapidly. The car's navigation system reminded her of the speed limit, but Everleigh turned a deaf ear to it. She pushed the car to its limits and rushed past the yellow light, which only had two seconds remaining.

The engine sound could be heard from the street. Half an hour later, with a rapid brake, the white car had stopped at the front gate of the Godfrey Mansion.

Everleigh went into the mansion smoothly. As Theodore's doctor, the security at the entrance recognized her car and let her pass without saying a word. After parking, Everleigh broke into the villa.

There was no one in the living room. On the sofa, a figure was playing games with his legs crossed. When he heard the noise behind him, he turned around with a surprised look on his face. "Everleigh? Why are you here?"

With a cold expression, Everleigh asked bluntly, "Where is Theodore?"

Leon was stunned for a moment. He pointed in the direction of the study room on the second floor and said, "He's on the second floor. Why are you..."

Before Leon could finish, Everleigh went upstairs without a word.

This time, the study room on the second floor was filled with the faint fragrance of medicine.

In front of the bookshelf, there was a large desk on one side of the wall. The documents were piled up into a mountain and only the man's head could be seen from behind the desk.

Theodore was focusing on the data of the computer. His brows were slightly twisted and his eyes were cold and distant.

"Bang!" The sound of the door opening echoed through the room for a long time.

He frowned slightly and raised his head.

It was about five meters away from the door of the study room to his desk. Within that distance, their eyes met, and the air between them seemed to solidify. On the glass-frame cabinet opposing him, he saw Everleigh and his eyes flashed with joy.

"Theodore, why are you doing this?"

Everleigh's icy voice broke the stagnation of the air and dispelled the subtle joy in the man's eyes.

Theodore's brow furrowed. "What did I do?"

"Do you want me to repeat what you have done to you?" Everleigh walked in front of the desk and it was the only thing between them.

From the other side of the desk, Theodore saw the fury in her eyes.

"If you have any dissatisfaction with me, you can come at me. Why did you set up a trap to frame my father?"

Everleigh's whole body was trembling and her face went pale due to anger. "Will you be satisfied after destroying me and the Trevino family?"

"What the hell are you talking about?" Theodore's frown deepened and his expression turned cold. Judging from Everleigh's expression, he could guess that something big had happened to the Trevino family. "What else do I have to say? I've misread you. I even believe that you would give in." Everleigh's chest heaved violently due to her overpowering emotions, as if something had been hitting at her heart, making her suffocate.

From the time he used to provoke her through her relationship with Yvonne, and even the time when he took advantage of controlling her work transfer to the countryside, she should have known.

In order to achieve his goal, this man would do anything.

When Everleigh saw Theodore's indifferent expression, she felt as if a basin of cold water had poured down and frozen her heart.

Instead of getting angry, she laughed and took two steps back. With a calm face, she began to unbutton her shirt.

"What are you doing?" Theodore stood up immediately.

Everleigh undid the button while ridiculing him, "No one knows better than you. The Trevino family is my weakness. You can threaten me and I would promise you anything. You don't have to go through so much trouble. Don't you want me to sleep with you? I'll do it!"
