Vanessa sighed softly. Her requirements were not high either. As long as Christopher could settle down and work hard, it was better than anything else.

Her greatest success was to bring up her two daughters. However, her biggest failure was to give birth to a son like Christopher.

She knew that she had never done anything wrong, but why...

Ysabelle understood her mother's concern, "We'll know her identity soon."

Vanessa gave her a sidelong glance and agreed with her decision.

Sure enough, it was not long before Erine's information was investigated. Looking at the things that had happened during her childhood, they knew how bad her life used to be. She thought she could live a good life after returning to the Harrison family, but unexpectedly, Madam Harrison was hard on her, so she moved out.

"She's such a pitiful child." Vanessa's heart ached for her after reading it.

However, that child seemed to be upright and strong. It was no wonder that she had such a good mindset.

Ysabelle deleted the information she had gotten immediately.

She felt that there was no need to keep it. It wouldn't be good if others found out about it too.

The next day, Erine got up early. Christopher's room was opposite hers.

"Good morning."

"Morning, hurry up and eat. I'm on the morning shift today." Erine had no time to talk too much nonsense with him, or she would be late if she didn't hurry up.

He shrugged his shoulders and went downstairs with her to have breakfast.

Although she was in a hurry, she was still very elegant.

When Vanessa and the others came down, Christopher and Erine had already left.

"So early."

"I heard Miss Harrison say that she has a morning shift." A servant brought over their breakfast.

"Mom, Everleigh also knows Erine. If you have any questions, you can directly ask her," Felicia said slowly, mainly because she didn't want her mother to worry. When Vanessa heard that Everleigh also knew her, she was stunned, "How would Everleigh know her?"

"Christopher said that they met when they were abroad. They seem to be good friends."

"That's great. I'll have a good chat with Everleigh when I have the time," Vanessa planned happily and decided. She was a nice girl. It did not matter what background she had as long as they could live a peaceful life. Everleigh also yawned when she came to work as if she hadn't had a good rest for a long time.

"What did you do?" As soon as Christopher entered, he saw her yawning horribly as if she lacked rest.

She lifted her eyebrows and looked at him with a half-smiling smile, "It doesn't matter what I did. What matters is you. I heard that you took Erine home?"

"How do you know that?" He asked in surprise. He did not tell anyone about that matter.

"A nurse overheard your conversation with Erine yesterday. Now, the news has spread throughout the hospital. Christopher, as a friend, I want to warn you not to provoke Erine. She is simple-minded and not the kind of person who takes things casually." She was very clear about his plans.

Even if Erine was strong-willed, she was still incomparable to him.

After hearing what she had said, he felt embarrassed.

"Is that who you think I am?"

"What else can it be?"

He was speechless. Looking at his past, he was indeed not a good person. Besides, he just wanted to ask Erine for help, and he didn't mean anything else. How did he become a villain?

Everleigh looked at him quietly. She was doing that for his own good. Erine was really strong. Otherwise, how could she be an orthopaedist?

"I know. I just asked her to do me a favor. You don't know that Felicia had already brought the girl from the blind date home. If I didn't bring Erine back in time, something might have happened." Christopher was glad that he made the right decision.

Otherwise, he would not know how to explain it to his sister.

Everleigh also knew that he was in trouble, but... She should forget it. Erine was willing to do it.

Thus, she shouldn't say anything else.

In the morning, she left the hospital and went straight to Theodore's company. She wanted to see the progress of the project.

She didn't leave the whole afternoon and only came out of the lab in the evening.

Theodore had been waiting outside for quite some time, "You've finally come out."

"You've been waiting for a long time. Let's go." She smiled apologetically.

He shook his head as he smiled. He wrapped his arm around her shoulders and walked out.

The two of them came to the newly opened restaurant and enjoyed the delicious food. Everleigh was indeed hungry as she did not eat well in the afternoon.

"Eat slowly. I'll have someone send Alastair and Adrienne to our home."

"Why?" She didn't understand.

There was no need to act like that between them.

He said angrily, "What do you think?"

Her face stiffened. She had forgotten that Leon was still at her home.

Before she could speak, she heard the two people who had just come in saying, "Have you heard that Godfrey Group's land seemed to have been seized by someone else?" "I've heard about it. I don't think there's any accurate news either." "Who could tell everyone about this? They're all troublesome people."

Everleigh looked at Theodore, noticing the coldness in his eyes. It was as if he had already known about it.

"Have you known it for a long time?"

"Yes."

She was shocked. He knew that it was 15 billion dollars, but he was not nervous at all.

"You don't have to be surprised. If this auction is that big, then isn't it just to increase the publicity of the land?" He said as he elegantly cut the steak.

He was so calm and did not care about that matter.

She opened her mouth and remembered what Ysabelle had said at that time.

She must have known about that issue a long time ago.

"Your uncle is smart. He can notice the problem immediately. Otherwise, why didn't he hold onto such a good opportunity?"

She was silent for a moment, "What should we do now? Will the Meyer family get involved?"

He shook his head. He didn't know what kind of role Ysabelle was playing in an auction like that.

The only person who knew the truth now was the Meyer family.

Everleigh didn't want anything to happen to the Meyer family. She knew that they treated her with sincerity.

It was also because of this that she was on the Meyer family's side.

"I'm full. Let's go back." She was really worried, and she was not in the mood to eat.

He knew what she was worried about. He chuckled and said, "You don't have to worry. The Meyer family has a huge business, and they're capable. You don't have to worry at all." She glanced at him and left immediately.

Theodore shook his head helplessly, then he paid the bill before leaving.

At that time, Ysabelle also received a phone call from Wilson as he wanted to ask about that too.

She was not troubled. She told him, "I'll be going to Godfrey Group now."
