Deep Love Hidden From Him
Chapter 596

Alexander and Everleigh looked at each other and didn't speak.

In fact, Cynthia had the same thought as her father. They cared too much about their own benefits; perhaps their family affection had long been gone.

During meal time, no one mentioned Cynthia because they were afraid that Everleigh would be upset. Although she was already used to it, every time Cynthia was present, arguments were bound to arise. The more they made a fuss about it, the more meaningless it would be.

Saniogo asked Everleigh to come to the study, mainly to ask how she was doing.

"Uncle, if you have any questions just ask directly."

"Alright, I just want to ask what is happening between you and Theodore. Consider it a parentmeeting for him the last time he visited us. As for the Godfrey family..." He was filled with anger when he mentioned them. Wilson had done so many wrong things, and he still obstinately refused to admit it.

He really didn't know what she was thinking.

Everleigh suddenly realized and understood what

he meant.

This was a huge matter concerning her marriage.

However, this could also be considered an acknowledgment of Theodore, right?

"Neither of us has any plans on this yet."

"No plans? What's that about?" Saniogo's expression turned a little angry when he heard her words. Could it be that that brat, Theodore, didn't intend to be with her?

She noticed his anger and said with a chuckle, "Uncle, I haven't finished investigating my parents' incident yet. It's not suitable for us to get married now. Besides, you have heard about Wilson. I can't be at ease if I don't get rid of him."

Sure enough, Saniogo's expression relaxed when he heard her explanation. It wasn't wrong to say something like that, but that didn't count as a reason to not get married.

"What about you? Is this your plan, or his?"

She was silent for a moment and said in a low voice, "It's both of us. My main purpose now is to replace out the cause of my parents' death. We should talk about other things later."

He knew that she still held a grudge about her parents, so it was normal for her to have such an idea.

"Alright then. It's up to you. Also, I have already prepared your dowry for you." There was a trace of reluctance in Saniogo's eyes when he said these words.

He was very fond of her. This child was not pampered or spoiled, and she also had her own perspective on things. This also further proved how well the Trevino family had educated her.

It hadn't been long since she came back and now, she was already going to get married. He was a little reluctant to marry her off to someone else.

"Uncle, there's no need for a dowry. Theodore won't mind either."

"That won't do. Your dowry is to give you your position in the Godfrey family in the future. I can't let anyone say that there's no dowry prepared when the daughter of the Jenkins family is getting married. I'm afraid you'll be looked down upon," Saniogo said seriously.

It seemed that that matter was not up for discussion. It was essential, especially with the Jenkins family. Wouldn't it be a joke if they didn't have a dowry?

Seeing him like this, Everleigh was dumbfounded. Thus, she was no longer stubborn and let him be.

However, the conversation between the two of them had been heard by Cynthia at the door.

Her anger was ignited the moment she heard that a dowry had been prepared for Everleigh. "As expected, this b*tch is really here for the money," she thought to herself. How could Uncle be so foolish?

"Cynthia, what are you doing here?" When Missha went upstairs, she saw her standing at the door, and her expression didn't look good.

Cynthia turned around; the anger in her eyes had yet to subside.

In the study, both Saniogo and Everleigh heard them, but they didn't say anything. They got up and walked out.

At the door, Cynthia felt a little nervous. "I'm going out to meet my friends."

Missha was not blind. She could see her expression clearly. She was about to speak when the door opened.

"Where are you going this late?"

When Cynthia saw the serious look in Saniogo's eyes, she was stunned. "I... My friends called and asked me to go out to have fun."

"Don't get too close with those friends if you can, lest they ruin you. Go back and rest." Saniogo's words not only satirised Cynthia; they also belittled her friends.

Cynthia lowered her head, and the anger in her eyes grew deeper. Her friends were viewed as bad people but Everleigh's weren't.

"Uncle, what do you mean?"

"Do you need me to review what happened to you in the past again?" Saniogo berated her coldly. Everyone in the corridor froze in shock.

They all knew what he meant by 'the past'. It was the matter that happened at the Jenkins family banquet.

Especially Cynthia, she felt extremely aggrieved. Tears brimmed in her eyes and she clenched her fists. "Uncle, you can't be partial to others. My friends are the bad ones, but Everleigh's are nice? Her friend almost killed my cousin. Why didn't you say anything about that?"

When Saniogo heard this, he became furious. "What do you even know? Your cousin has his own considerations when he does things. Do you ever think about what you're doing?"

"Uncle, you're being biased!" Cynthia shouted angrily. Why would they not be lectured for their business but she would be scolded badly?

Saniogo's eyes narrowed but he didn't intend to retort. He was indeed biased. One was his son and the other was his brother's child. He would always be very concerned about Everleigh no matter the circumstances. Cynthia was absolutely spoiled and everything she did was disgraceful.

Missha noticed how angry he was and quickly went to smooth things over, "What are you talking about? Your uncle has never been biased."

"Aunt Missha, I'm not being narrow-minded. It's him who's been targeting me on purpose ever since Everleigh came back. Everything now belongs to her. Even the dowry is ready for her. How can I not be angry? I don't even know whether this b*stard is really from our family or not. I..." Before she could finish her words, Saniogo raised his hand and slapped her across the face.

The slap was so hard that she fell directly to the ground, and her cheeks swelled up instantly.

The entire corridor echoed with the sound of the slap.

Alexander happened to hear a sound when he went upstairs, so he hurried over. What came into sight was Cynthia sitting on the ground covering her face with her hands as she looked at her uncle in horror. Saniogo, on the other hand, was staring at her in fury. His entire body trembled in anger.

"You... Cynthia, you unfilial child. Get the hell out of here!" He roared angrily, which scared her so much that tears rolled down her cheeks.

Everleigh stood aside but did not speak. She thought that no matter what she said at that moment, it would only deepen Cynthia's hatred for her.

Cynthia covered her face. She was afraid of Saniogo's rage but at the same time, she loathed Everleigh.

If it wasn't for her, something like this wouldn't have happened.

Everleigh stood straight and looked down at her. Her eyes were filled with disappointment.

Cynthia was agitated by her gaze. "Why don't you go to hell, Everleigh? This is all because of you. Are you satisfied that I'm being isolated by them now?"

Alexander frowned, displeased, as he listened. "Cynthia, if you say another word, I'll throw you out."

"Did I say anything wrong? That you and your father think she is a child of the Jenkins family? Or did you let her in on purpose to snatch our family's property?" Cynthia went mad all of a sudden and blurted everything that came into her mind.

This made Saniogo feel even more disgusted.
