Everleigh was really worried about them. She couldn't help but ask, "Then tell me, what's going on?"

Selena smiled bitterly. "To be frank, I used to consider dating Theodore. He is handsome and rich, and is the best backer for an actress like me. But later, I found out that you were with him, and I was jealous of you."

Everleigh pursed her lips and said nothing.

Selena continued, "After I saw what happened to you, I realized that there was no possibility between Theodore and me. His heart was full of you."

"Why do you choose Leon now? Is it because he's Theodore's relative?" Everleigh asked in reply.

Selena shook her head and admitted, "No, Leon was an accident. He cared for me very much on the set. I have to say that such a man is the best. Every woman hopes to replace a man who loves her, and I am no exception. Especially when I see your two children, I want to replace a man who loves me more."

Everleigh's eyes flashed slightly, and she had an unspeakable feeling in her heart.

The relationship between her and Theodore wasn't as perfect as Selena had imagined.

"Later on, you told me about Leon's history. Only then did I realize that I really loved the wrong person," Selena sighed.

"Selena, maybe he has turned over a new leaf?" Everleigh could see that Leon really liked Selena.

Otherwise, why would he end up in such a battered situation because of her, especially since he had been with so many women?

Selena's eyes were wet, and the bitterness flowed to her heart. She also wanted to know if Leon would really change, but she didn't dare to bet.

After all, a woman's youth was the most important thing in her life. Selena didn't want to become a grieving woman for a man.

She couldn't accept such a thing.

That was why she was afraid. She envied everything about Everleigh, but none of that would happen to her.

"It's also the first time that I've seen Leon in such a haggard condition. Selena, don't you want to give him a chance?" Everleigh asked.

"He doesn't need a chance. Leon and I can only be in the past. Once a cheater, always a cheater. I admit that I am not that charming enough to change him," Selena answered.

Everleigh finally understood. At the end of the day, Selena had no confidence in herself. When she was a child, she was not like this. Why was she now...

"Why didn't you say what you thought earlier? I can help you." Everleigh felt even more sad. They were sisters, but they were in two different worlds.

Selena blinked, and there was faint sarcasm in her clear eyes. "What do you want me to say? Leon's character is unacceptable. Not to mention you, but even Dad will not accept it. It's not easy for me to be with him, don't you know that?" She scoffed.

Everleigh was speechless.

She could only blame Leon for being a playboy. No one would have a good life after marrying him.

"Then, what did you guys talk about today..."

"We negotiated. We will walk our own paths in the future, and neither of us will disturb each other." Selena's expression instantly turned calm as she said this.

Perhaps, she should also let go of her feelings.

"Will you regret it?" Everleigh couldn't help but pry.

"Maybe, or maybe not. After all, love is hard to guess. However, I'll go abroad later, and maybe I'll have other encounters. It's difficult to say." Selena pretended to be relaxed and responded. Everleigh was relieved to see her thinking like this. If Selena was in a bad mood, Everleigh wouldn't mind if she went abroad.

When they returned home, they did buy a lot of food, but it was too late. The two children had gone back to rest.

The next day, Everleigh went to work. As soon as she entered the office, she saw Christopher and Wilson sitting together, chatting. When they noticed her, they both stopped talking. "Dr. Trevino," Wilson greeted.

"Mr. Godfrey, why are you here?" She asked curiously.

In her mind, she remembered the fight between him and Yvonne on the street the previous night, and she had some speculations. Could it be that Wilson was there to get even?

"Dr. Trevino, is it convenient for us to have a chat? We won't go far, just to the cafe next door."

"Let's do it at noon. I have patients to visit in the morning," she answered as she put down her bag and changed into a white coat. Then, she picked up the medical records and was on her way to do the rounds.

He was not anxious because he knew that she would be swamped, so he agreed, "I'll come to you at noon."

"Alright."

He nodded and left.

After he left, Christopher looked at her with concern. "Do you really want to meet him?"

"Of course I do. I want to hear what he has to say," Everleigh uttered.

"I'll go with you. I'll sit in the seat next to you." He was too worried. Wilson was totally different from what he appeared on the surface. It was hard to say what kind of outrageous things he would do. She would have no chance, even if she wanted to shout for help.

"If he can replace me, do you think he won't be on his guard?" She did not continue.

Christopher's face was stiff. He took her mobile phone directly and fixed the positioning system. He reminded, "Call me when you get in. I want to know what you are talking about. If it is not good for you, I can help you."

"Okay." She agreed without hesitation as she too didn't know what this man wanted to do.

It was a good thing to be more alert.

It was soon noon, and Everleigh had already eaten in advance, just in case she wouldn't have an appetite there.

After arriving at the cafe, Everleigh ordered a glass of lemonade. Several security guards stood behind Wilson.

When they saw her coming, they went out as well.

"I'm sorry for being late, Mr. Godfrey," she apologized as soon as they met.

"I know that being a doctor is very busy, but Dr. Trevino, I still can't understand it. Isn't it good to be a doctor? Why do you like to poke your nose into other people's business?" He still had a gentle smile on his face, but the words he spoke were cold and piercing to the bone.

She listened to his words with some confusion. "Mr. Godfrey, I don't understand the meaning behind your words. I'm just doing my job."

He picked up the coffee on the table and took a sip. The smile at the corner of his mouth disappeared, and his cold eyes looked at Everleigh like a sharp sword.

"Dr. Trevino, we don't have to play riddles anymore. Now that you've met Xavier, you should know everything," he stated.

Her expression remained solemn. She breathed a sigh of relief in her heart. Since she was here to negotiate, she felt a lot more comfortable. After all, it was better than to reveal something or say something wrong.

"Mr. Godfrey, you know everything. You even know that I've met your son. Are you monitoring Xavier or me?" She retorted.

Wilson's eyes were gloomy, and his voice became icy. "How much do you know?"

"Originally, it was a suspicion as it was also a matter against me. I don't know anything about him, but since you've come to me today, I've figured everything out. Xavier is your sacrificial victim, right?" Everleigh articulated.

Wilson's eyes were gloomy. He sneered, "Don't you know that? You don't need to ask."

"That's not the same. I can only be sure about it with your confirmation," she continued.

"You know that I was the one behind it back then," he responded tentatively.

There was a hint of slight surprise in Everleigh's gaze.
