That was how it was being rich. Since they already had the intention of getting married, they naturally wanted someone who could help out with the business. Otherwise, it would be benefiting someone else. Everleigh was sure that Theodore would not easily let bygones be bygones, but she would not stop him either.

"Uncle, don't you care about me anymore?"

"Who can you blame after doing such a thing? You even tried to set Everleigh up. Cynthia, I've always doted on you, but I never expected you to be so vicious." Saniogo did not want to talk to her anymore. He felt that someone like her did not deserve pity.

He turned around and was about to leave. Just like that, the birthday party was ruined.

He had said beforehand that it would be enough for them to simply have a good meal together as family.

Then, it would not have turned out to be such a mess.

Everleigh and Theodore brought their children home. On the way back, nobody said a word. Even Adrienne was quiet.

Back at the Trevino family's house, Selena and Leon hadn't gone to bed yet. They were waiting for Everleigh and the others to return.

"How is it? Is everything okay?" Selena asked with concern.

Everleigh shook her head, which indicated that she was fme.

"That's good. I'll take Alastair and Adrienne up to rest."

"Alright." Everleigh nodded. Then, she took Theodore back to her room. "Why are you so angry?"

"Should I put up with it even when you're being wronged?" He was a little upset after hearing her words. Was it wrong for him to protect his wife?

She sighed softly. "I'm not saying that you should just keep quiet. On the contrary, I think you've done a great job. Cynthia got what she deserved. I also think that Erine did not do anything wrong. However, slapping her was the same as slapping Uncle Saniogo's face. Although she was wrong, she's still a member of the Jenkins family."

She could see that Saniogo still loved Cynthia very much, but he was disappointed as well. However, he did not say anything because he knew that Theodore cared about Everleigh. Theodore was just standing up for her, so Saniogo could not say anything about it.

Theodore took Everleigh's hand and sat down on the bed. "You... If it wasn't for his status, he would've already beaten her himself. Do you really think that he wasn't angry over what Cynthia had done?"

She knew this as well.

Forget it. Whatever happened had happened. It was pointless to talk about it further.

"Just wait and see. There will certainly be good news tomorrow."

She guessed that the next day's news would be shocking.

The next day, news of Cynthia and the man from the Baker family at the party broke out.

Naturally, netizens commented on this issue excitedly. In a short time, Cynthia became the talk of the town.

When Saniogo saw the news, he exploded in anger. The Jenkins family was utterly humiliated.

"Saniogo, don't be angry. It has already happened. Just let it be."

"Just let it be? How is that possible? The Jenkins family's reputation is ruined." He was not only angry at Cynthia; he was also worried about the family's reputation.

The Jenkins family had a long history. He did not want the family to be ruined in his hands.

Missha turned her head and said in a low voice, "Cynthia was doing well when she was abroad. Why did she become so stupid after coming back?"

He looked at her, "Doing well? Can't you differentiate between acting and competence? Everleigh is a doctor. She understands that she can't do business. On the other hand, Cynthia is a person who pretends to understand even when she doesn't. I don't believe that you never saw through her."

She listened to his words and did not know what to say.

Hence, she decided to shut up.

Seeing that, Alexander did not say anything as well. If they tried to deny it, it would mean that they were guilty.

It was better to let nature take its course. Cynthia should take this as a lesson.

After seeing this, Cynthia could not stop crying. She had never thought that Alexander and her uncle would completely ignore her.

"That's enough. Are you done crying?"

"Dad, why are you yelling at me? Everyone is being mean to me now. Are you really not going to care about me?"

"I don't care about you? You have done something wrong. How can you blame me for not caring about you? Cynthia, even if you wanted to deal with Everleigh, how can you choose such an occasion? Do you think that your uncle is a fool? You humiliated him. Do you think he'll care about you?" Yeezoo knew his brother's personality well. After all, they had been siblings for many years.

The main reason he was able to expand Jenkins Group was because he was credible. Now that there was a scandal, how could he interfere?

Cynthia was scolded and could not refute at all.

If she had known that it would turn out like this, she would not have done such an impulsive thing.

When Everleigh arrived at the hospital, she saw Helen coming over.

"Grandma, why are you here?"

"I came here for a physical examination, so I thought of seeing you as well. I heard about what happened at the Jenkins family banquet. Everleigh, you poor girl." Helen comforted her softly.

Everleigh looked down and chuckled before saying, "Grandma, don't worry. I didn't start it, so I didn't lose anything."

Helen sighed softly. "Everleigh, the struggle for power among the rich has never stopped since ancient times. It's the same now."

"I understand, but I'm not worried. Theodore will take good care of me." Everleigh was confident. She was happy as long as he was by her side.

Helen could tell that the relationship between them was strong when she looked at Everleigh. She felt relieved.

Otherwise, she would have scolded that brat. If he still could not woo his wife, she would have to teach him a good lesson.

"By the way, Grandma, let's have lunch together. There is a new restaurant around here. I'll take you there to have a taste of the food," Everleigh asked as she felt that the both of them had not had a meal together in a long time.

She could not miss the opportunity this time.

Helen was free and had nothing to do, so she accepted the invitation.

They were talking and laughing happily in the restaurant. "Everleigh, I've liked you very much since the first time I met you. Do you know why?" "Isn't it because I am kind-hearted?" Everleigh raised her eyebrows and said proudly.

Helen smiled and replied, "That's one of the reasons. It's mainly because of your character. You're generous and forgiving. You can achieve great things in life."

"Grandma, are you saying that I have the potential to become a successful businesswoman?" Everleigh was a little confused. Although it was not the first time that she had heard such words, she did not have the confidence in doing business.

It was better to be a doctor.

It would be best if she could help the wounded.

"You are not interested in that. If you were, I guess you would have done it already." Helen knew that business was not Everleigh's ambition in life. She was just saying it.

It was good for her to be a doctor. She was kind-hearted and it was a good career.

"Grandma, let's eat." "Alright." Helen knew that she did not want to continue this topic, so she stopped talking about it.

On the other side, Missha went to a house in the suburbs. Looking at the man with gauze all over his face, she asked in a low voice, "How is he?"

"It won't be long before the gauze can be removed," the doctor in a white coat responded.

Missha looked coldly at the person on the bed.

"It'd better be quick. Time waits for no one."
