Everleigh had told Theodore before that no matter what would happen in the future, she would always be by his side.

However, he always sacrificed himself to protect her. Although his actions were touching, from a medical point of view, it was actually his biggest weakness.

He smiled bitterly. He had a sudden feeling that it was actually not bad that there was a person who was willing to stand in front of him, fighting for him. Perhaps it was time for him to trust a woman who was willing to sacrifice for him.

"Everleigh," he called her affectionately, then kissed her softly on the lips.

Words couldn't describe the deep love that he had for her at that moment.

She was startled by his sudden action, and her cheeks blushed instantly. She felt shy as they were doing it in public.

Suddenly, he received a phone call from Moses. "Mr. Godfrey, can you come over for a while? There's something I need to tell you."

"I'm on my way." He then hung up the phone and glanced at Everleigh.

She nodded to him and said, "Hurry up and go to work, I'll take care of him."

Even if he stayed, there was nothing he could do to help her.

He nodded, turned around and left.

In the office, Moses had been waiting for him for a long time. When he saw Theodore, he quickly said, "Mr. Godfrey, I've received news from Godfrey Group, saying that Wilson has fired a group of employees. Mr. Xavier only has a few men left in the company, and our men can't do anything about it either."

"Ask them to be careful and not expose themselves, and wait for my orders," Theodore instructed in a deep voice.

Wilson was clearly using the chance to get rid of Xavier's connections in the company as he wanted to have complete control over Godfrey Group.

Theodore knew that he was a ruthless person, but he didn't expect him to be so cruel.

In the afternoon, Everleigh received a phone call from Wilson. He wanted to meet her.

She glanced at Xavier who was resting in the ICU, hesitated for a moment, and answered, "Okay, let's meet somewhere near the hospital. I don't have much time." "No problem," Wilson agreed straightaway. Everleigh hung up the phone, asked Christopher to keep an eye on Xavier, and went to meet Wilson by herself.

He was a little worried. "Do you really want to go?"

"He won't do anything bad in public," she sighed softly.

She had thought about it properly. Wilson had been using a lot of connections and help at his company, so he wouldn't want to create more problems for himself. That was the reason she dared to meet him. Christopher paused for a moment and reminded, "Do be careful. If you're really in danger, just send me a voice message."

"It's not that serious. Just call me if I haven't returned in one hour. How does that sound?" She didn't know what to do, so she suggested a plan.

After thinking for a while, he agreed to it.

She went to a cafe nearby. She hadn't been there before, as it was newly-opened.

She noticed Wilson as soon as he walked in through the door. They hadn't seen each other for a long time, and he looked completely different.

He no longer looked gentle and merciful as before. Instead, he was giving off a cold and scary aura, similar to that of Theodore. She was certain that he had become a totally different person. "Sorry for being late, I was busy just now."

"It's okay. What can I do for you, Mr. Godfrey?" Everleigh smiled faintly, and didn't take Wilson's pleasantries to heart.

He ordered a cup of tea, specifically Earl Grey tea. He was neither rushing nor calm, as if he was enjoying his life.

From her perspective, he was just trying to show off.

He wanted to show that he had gotten everything he wanted.

"Mr. Godfrey, I'm really busy, if there's something you want to say, just get to the point."

"It's nothing much, I just want to ask about Xavier's condition. How is he doing?" He sounded concerned, but he wasn't showing any sympathy at all.

She smiled sarcastically, "Mr. Godfrey, you don't have to ask about his condition if you don't want to. You're just making me sad by asking in such an attitude. To me, you're just gloating over his misfortune. Tha man is your son, but it took you so long to finally ask me about his condition."

Wilson wasn't angry with her words.

He had been too busy recently, so he didn't ask much about Xavier.

"I know, all of you will think that I'm an irresponsible father by asking so late, but I have my own difficulties too," he explained in a cool voice, without showing any care for Xavier.

Everleigh, on the other hand, was furious when she heard that.

"Your difficulties? Is it almost killing your own son by harming him? Mr. Godfrey, your heart is made of stone, isn't it?"

She asked in a slightly irritated tone.

Looking at the bad father in front of her, her feelings were indescribable.

His eyes turned cold when he saw her reaction. "Why are you so agitated? It's not like I did it."

She sneered, "You didn't do it? Mr. Godfrey, you can deny it, but you know the truth. Xavier isn't dead, but he has a heart disease, and will die at any time. Thus, you don't have to rack your brain to try and harm him."

Upon hearing that, Wilson's eyes flashed slightly, but it disappeared in the next second.

"Miss Trevino, I've come to ask you about Xavier's situation, but I also want to tell you that I'm doing this for Theodore."

Everleigh laughed sarcastically, "Doing it for Theodore? After everything that you've done to hurt him, you say that you're doing it for him? Mr.

Godfrey, your way of expressing love is really special."

He didn't mind that she was mocking him. He knew his intentions well in his own heart.

"Miss Trevino, you're a parent too so you should know that you have done many things for your own children. You can think that I'm unreasonable, but I'm not wrong," he responded in a firm tone. It made her replace it even more ridiculous.

He wasn't wrong?

He tried to kill his younger son for his eldest son, but he claimed he wasn't wrong? She really couldn't keep up with his peculiar way of thinking.

"Mr. Godfrey, I'm afraid your eldest son will only hate you more instead of thanking you if you continue doing this. The two of you are the most cruel parents I've ever seen. Madison wanted to control Theodore in order to help Xavier, while you were willing to hurt Xavier just because you wanted to pave the way for Theodore. Have the two of you ever considered Theodore and Xavier's opinions? Are these things what they really want?" Everleigh wasn't familiar with Xavier, but she knew Theodore very well. In the past, he wanted to join the government so badly, but he ended up in the world of business.

A man like Wilson had no rights to justify his own actions like that.

She felt that she was about to blow up in anger if she continued talking to him.

He sat on the chair, holding a cup of tea in his hand. His bulging hand veins were clearly visible.

He was suppressing his anger secretly.

She grabbed her purse and was about to leave, but when she took a few steps forward, she stopped and said, "Mr. Godfrey, if you still have compassion left in your heart, please stop doing this."

It was her honest advice.
