When Cecil noticed her suspicious and worried expression, she continued, "The outskirts of Ocpeace City have also been affected, especially the women's prison, which collapsed. Diana escaped." Everleigh finally understood why Cecil had that expression. Diana had escaped.

That meant that she would definitely seek revenge on the Hayes family.

Cecil shook her head. "She was not the only one who escaped. There were a few more who haven't been caught. Thaud has sent his people to investigate it, but they still had no clue about where she had escaped to."

After saying that, she was even more distressed. She would not feel at ease until Diana was caught. The last incident had made them worry enough. If it happened again, it would make them suffer more from their anxiety.

"Didn't you tell Alexander?" Everleigh looked grim because this matter was difficult to deal with.

Cecil shook her head and said helplessly, "How could I? I almost killed him last time. I didn't have the nerve to tell him."

Everleigh looked down and said nothing. In fact, even if Cecil told him, he would not reprimand her.

After all, he was not an unreasonable person. Besides, he hoped that Cecil could face it together with him, rather than hide this matter from him.

"Then I'll ask Theodore's men to search as well," Everleigh said in a low voice. Although the members of the Hayes family were capable, they couldn't do it in a high-profile way. The more people who joined the search, the better.

"Thank you, Everleigh." Cecil knew that she would help.

Everleigh was very helpless when she saw her triumphant look. "Knock it off. You were just waiting for me here, aren't you?"

"Don't say that. Even if I didn't tell you, you would still help me secretly when you replace out about this. I just made it clear. Is it necessary to make a fuss about it?" Cecil understood her friend very well as if she was Everleigh herself.

Although they would argue, they still cared about each other.

This was also the reason why the less time they spent with each other, the deeper their friendship went.

The two of them chatted for a long time before leaving the coffee shop. Everleigh headed straight for Theodore's office because his time in the disaster zone had caused his work to pile up quite a bit. This problem couldn't be solved in a few days. He didn't even know that she had come over.

It was only when he took a rest that he saw her lying on the sofa.

He was surprised. "When did you come over?"

"I've been here for an hour. Weren't you working? I didn't bother you when I saw you were busy." If he hadn't spoken, she would have fallen asleep.

The days of being languid were really good. She could sleep whenever she wanted to and do whatever she wished.

He stood up with a smile. He immediately draped his coat over her shoulders.

"It's getting cold. Put it on for your nap. When I've finished my work, I'll take you out for dinner."

She nodded, turned around, and fell asleep.

It was really good to sleep in a quiet environment.

Later, she was awakened, and she followed Theodore for dinner.

In the restaurant, he ordered all the delicious food for her, as if afraid she wouldn't eat her fill.

She was surprised, "What are you doing?"

"I'm worried that you are not eating well. Leon seems to be addicted to cooking, but his cooking skills are still bad." He had experienced it in the morning. He wouldn't say that it was bad. It was just plain and not delicious.

She agreed, "You're right. I want to eat more. I don't want to taste the food by Leon when I go back."

However, they could perceive Leon's sincerity for Selena, and she was also being considerate of him. She knew that he had a hard time cooking, so she would often help him out in the kitchen. According to Hilda, she rarely cooked recently. Every time she went to the kitchen, she felt like she was the third wheel.

She felt awkward whenever she went in.

Halfway through the meal, Xavier suddenly appeared.

"Both of you just came back from the disaster zone. You're celebrities now, so you must have worked up an appetite, huh?" His cold voice sounded.

Theodore and Everleigh both looked over and saw that he was looking at them with a smile on his face.

"Why are you here?"

Xavier pointed at the empty seat beside Theodore and said, "I noticed your car. I just wanted to have some food before going back." Yantsey understood and led him to the chair.

He waved his hand at the waiter, indicating that he wanted to order a meal.

"You don't need to order anymore. There is a lot of food here." Everleigh was not a person who liked wasting food.

Xavier shook his head. "You two can definitely finish all you have ordered. I'll order for myself."

He ordered a few dishes for himself, as well as for Yantsey.

"I've received news today that Wilson has invested all his money into Lanado City, but because of what happened here, all of his money is gone," Xavier said calmly.

It was as if they were gossiping about strangers.

Everleigh's expression froze. "No way, how could he be so unfortunate?"

Theodore had already told her that Wilson sold his shares, and he also told him what he should do next. Now, all of Wilson's money was gone.

She vaguely recalled that people were saying that the place was supposed to be developed when she was in Lanado City. However, because of this earthquake, there was nothing left anymore.

At that time, she was still thinking about who was so unfortunate to have bought this land. Now, she knew who that person was.

It was Wilson. God must have seen that he had made too many mistakes, so he was punished heavily.

"I know," Theodore responded in a low voice. He heard of this matter from the volunteers when he was still in Lanado City.

Xavier stared at him in surprise. He was even more curious as to who had told Theodore about this issue.

Yantsey had said that Theodore didn't even bother to take care of this.

"Wilson is desperate. He may be trying to target Godfrey Group. Be careful."

"It's impossible for him to have a chance to make a move." Xavier had already made preparations. If Wilson dared to touch the shares of Godfrey Group, he would definitely make him pay for it. Theodore narrowed his eyes. He curled his lips into a smile as he suddenly realized that Xavier had finally learned when he needed to be ruthless.

Theodore and Everleigh were preparing to return to the office after the meal. Xavier wanted to go back too. He wanted to ask his brother if he knew anything about Wilson. There was needless to say anything more now.

"People would do absolutely anything when driven into a corner. You should make the necessary preparations as soon as possible to avoid conflict." Theodore kindly reminded him before leaving. Xavier nodded and understood what he meant.

Everleigh and Theodore walked back as they ate too much and didn't want to feel so full.

"Did you follow Wilson?"

"The last time I heard it from the volunteers was when I was in Lanado City. At first, I didn't know who it was, but I knew it was him the moment they mentioned his family name."

She nodded and said with a smile, "What do you think he will do next?"

He paused, and he looked straight ahead. There was a trace of coldness in his gaze as he slowly spat out his words, "Wilson will do everything he can to recoup his losses."
