Selena's turbulent emotions made Everleigh feel upset. She understood that her sister was upset because she was humiliated by the Allen family. Regardless of her love for Leon, she felt that her self-esteem was trampled upon by others.

Keeping this thought in mind, the anger in Everleigh's heart also surged up. She didn't need to mind her manners after what they had done. She copied Selena and pushed Leon out of their house. "Get out of here, all of you. Don't ever take a step in here anymore."

When Theodore and Leon saw Everleigh's expression, their faces were full of shock. Selena was stunned by her actions as well.

"Leon, I agreed to let you stay at the beginning because I saw your determination, but now, your parents have insulted my father and upset Selena. Isn't this your fault?"

Hearing this, Leon's eyes widened. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but Theodore came over. "You all head back first. It won't do you any good if you keep staying around here," he persuaded in a deep voice.

Leon looked at Selena, reluctant to leave. When he saw her crying, he felt even more guilty.

He was the one who had made her sad because he didn't defend her.

He turned and left. Caelan and Lorell followed him out as well.

The farce in the house had finally come to an end. Selena crouched on the ground and burst into tears, showing her vulnerable side.

Everleigh sat beside her and hugged her. "Don't cry. You'll meet a better one."

"Everleigh..." Selena turned and hugged her, crying bitterly. She felt a sharp pain in her heart.

Everleigh's eyes turned red as she hugged her sister tightly.

Upon seeing them, Abraham glanced over and said, "Theodore, join me in the study."

He nodded and followed him to the study. Abraham sat on the chair with a stern look on his face. "You've seen what happened with the Allen family. Our Trevino family can't be connected by marriage with them, but I hope you can clarify this with Leon. In the future, Selena will not have any contact with him. Her company is now within his range, so I will give him compensation money."

Theodore understood that he was trying to get rid of any ties with Leon.

"Dad, you may want to think about this. There's nothing wrong with Leon. It's his parents who are the cause of all these."

Abraham shook his head. "It doesn't matter now. I only have one daughter, and everything belongs to her in the future. My biggest wish is for her to replace a person who loves her truly."

Theodore's eyes dimmed. It was indeed the Allen family's fault. No matter what, they shouldn't have come to the Trevino family and made a fuss. He understood why his mother had such a temper: it ran in their family.

"Dad, I understand that Selena is upset, but can you give Leon a chance? I believe he will still speak up for her, right?"

Abraham was silent for a moment. Leon had indeed helped her.

"At least don't make Selena leave Leon's company now. Don't worry, I'll make it clear to Leon that today's incident won't happen a second time," Theodore said firmly; it was also the last resort for Leon. He had seen the changes in Leon, and there was still plenty of room for improvement. He couldn't give up like this.

Abraham didn't speak for a long time. "Alright, I'll believe you this once, but if it was to..."

"I will personally help Selena dissolve the cooperation agreement, so you don't need to worry about it."

Abraham's eyes darkened as he looked at Theodore and nodded.

Leon had been living here for so many days; Abraham understood his character well enough. If he could, he would agree to the two of them being together. Unfortunately, after what had happened that night, the plan was foiled.

When Theodore came out of the study, Everleigh had just walked out of Selena's room.

"How was it?" He asked her.

"She is calm now, but it's inevitable to be sad. Right, what did my father say to you?" She was concerned about Abraham's thoughts, as he had been subjected to a humiliation just then. Theodore put his arm around her shoulder and led her to the living room.

"Dad wants Selena to leave the company. The company is still within Leon's range. He wants to completely break off the relationship with the Allen family." Hearing this, Everleigh understood her father's decision.

His daughter had been wronged, and she was in the hands of the Allen family. It was hard to guarantee that they would not make trouble for her in private.

"I rejected it."

"Huh? Why? Isn't it a good idea to leave?" Everleigh was very surprised to hear his answer.

Now that they were separated, it would be the best outcome.

He looked at her helplessly. "Your actions were just to help Selena vent her anger, right?"

"Yes, Leon was wrong to bring his parents here. He knows my father's heart condition. If something bad happens to him, I'll be the first to look for him." She believed that she was not at fault.

He understood how she felt. "I understand. It was indeed inappropriate for Leon to bring them over. I'll take care of this matter."

"You... You're sure you won't take Leon's side?" She looked at him with suspicion. She assumed that he was up to something.

Theodore didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He couldn't interpret Everleigh's expression, and besides, he wouldn't put Selena further in harm's way.

"Alright. I'll report to you if anything happens. Is that okay?" "It depends on your performance. If you do anything behind my back, I will push you out like how I did to Leon." She pretended to be fierce and went upstairs to have a rest.

He looked at her back and a faint smile appeared on his face. However, it didn't take long for it to recede. He stood up and went to look for Leon.

That day was deemed to be a sleepless night.

Leon did not go back to the Allen family, but instead went to a bar.

Caelan called Leon numerous times, but he didn't want to answer the calls. Theodore had guessed that Leon wouldn't return to the Allen family, so he went straight to the bar to look for him.

Sure enough, when he pushed the door open, he saw him.

"What are you doing here?"

"I'm here to tell you something, but I don't think it's a good idea since you are in a bad mood."

"Is it about the Trevino family? What did Abraham say?" Leon was anxious.

Theodore raised his eyebrows. It didn't seem like Leon had had much to drink. He walked over and sat beside him. "Why did you bring them to the Trevino family home?" "I didn't intend to take them there. They went to replace them privately. How could I let them trouble Selena?" Leon was very distressed when he mentioned this.

"Abraham is thinking of compensating you and making Selena leave your company. What do you think about that?"

Hearing this, Leon's whole body trembled. "Theodore, are you in favor of it?"

"It's not so much that I'm in favor of it as he has this plan. I helped you ease it off. As for your parents..."

Hearing his answer, Leon breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Selena did not leave, he still had hope.
