Said I didn't Love Him But I Lied -
Chapter 428 Found That Person
Everleigh turned around and smiled as she said, "I will bring them there when this is over."
"Tell me in advance when you are coming over. I need to prepare some gifts. It's an official meeting after all. We can't be empty-handed." "We are family. There's no need to be so polite."
When Alexander heard the word 'family', he felt a little excited. She used to say this in a polite tone, but this time, it was very natural and casual.
It really sounded like a real conversation that a family should have.
"Great." He nodded. He didn't know if that was a response to her words or a compliment for her attitude.
When she returned home, Alastair and Adrienne were sitting on the sofa listening to Abraham as he told them a story. It was just an ordinary story, but the two listened attentively with much interest.
"Miss Everleigh." Hilda held a plate of fruits in her hand as she looked at Everleigh, who was standing at the door.
"Hilda, pour me a glass of lemonade." She ate a little too much that night, thus she wanted to drink it for better digestion.
"Mommy, you are back." Adrienne ran over, hugged her legs, and raised her chubby face.
"Yes, I'm back and I brought you some snacks." Everleigh raised the bag in her hand. Saniogo asked her to bring it back. He said that children would like it very much and that he would buy them new snacks next time. She didn't say anything and took it home.
Hilda put the snacks on the plate for them to have a taste.
Abraham noticed that Everleigh's face was full of smiles and asked, "It seems like the problem has been solved."
"No, I even ran into some trouble. Dad, I'll go up and make a call."
"Okay." He didn't ask further questions. Theodore's methods were tough. Even if he was in trouble, it wouldn't cause any huge impact on him.
Everleigh called Cecil as soon as she returned to her room. The first thing Cecil said when she answered the phone was, "You only remember me when you are in trouble."
"You saw the news, didn't you? Aren't you worried about me?" Everleigh asked, pretending to be angry.
However, Cecil wasn't going to let her off the hook. She said coolly, "It's not that you are in trouble; it's Theodore who is. It's not even been a day or two, but he's gotten in trouble. Why should I call you?" Hearing her words, Everleigh was speechless. Cecil didn't like him, just like she didn't like Leon.
"Everleigh, the new company has been established. You have your status there and I'm happy for you, but you can't do anything for him."
"It's me who developed the medicine, thus if something happens, I'm the one who will be held responsible. Cecil, the situation this time is different. The old lady who caused trouble this morning has died. Except for us, the outsiders still don't know about it. Once they know, Theodore will become a murderer," Everleigh said in a heavy tone.
Cecil listened to her and was silent for a long time before she asked, "What are you going to do?"
"I want to ask your brother for help. The old lady had a fight before she died. I know that their team has equipment that can be used to look into the matter. I want to..." Before she finished her words, Cecil said angrily, "It's all for Theodore again."
"Then, are you going to help him or not?" Everleigh asked helplessly.
"I'll ask him later," Cecil answered quickly this time.
Her help this time was for Everleigh's sake. Otherwise, would Theodore ever be worth her help?
"The sooner, the better. I'm worried that the person is already running away. It'll be hard to replace him."
"Got it," Cecil said and hung up the phone.
On the other side, a photo of the person who had an argument with the old woman before she died appeared on Theodore's phone.
He stared at the photo with a sullen face. The man in the photo was tall and sturdy. He had a big head and ears, and his whole body exuded a murderous aura, which made people shudder.
"Where is this person now?"
"We found him. But... he was injured when we caught him and now, he is in the hospital. He refuses to speak no matter what we asked," Moses said indignantly.
Theodore's eyes turned cold, and the corner of his lips curled into a sinister smirk. "Other than bribing him with money, the other thing Wilson will do is to threaten the person. However, it looks like this person doesn't seem to have a family." "Yes, his name is Sandom Meaker, and he has always been working for Mr. Godfrey." Moses didn't know of his background until Sandom got caught.
"And... Sanchez's death last time may also have something to do with him," Moses added.
It was just a suspicion without any definite evidence.
Theodore's face darkened as anger couldn't stop welling up in his eyes.
Wilson was cruel enough to do such a thing and now, he held back a trick.
"Let's go. I'll meet up with Sandom personally when I go to the hospital." Theodore stood up and went to the hospital.
Moses followed behind.
The hospital that Sandom was admitted to was not a city hospital, but a first-class hospital, where a lot of bodyguards were guarding the place. He was tied up tightly and could not even struggle a bit.
"Let go of me." Sandom's angry voice sounded like he wanted to tear the room apart. When Theodore walked in, his powerful aura made Sandom's anger fade away. He watched helplessly as Theodore stepped in.

Theodore walked up to him. His deep gaze was as cold as an iceberg when he looked at Sandom in silence.
"What do you think you are doing?" Sandom spoke, feeling a bit uneasy looking at him.
"Sandom, is it? How much did Wilson pay you for the job?" Theodore stretched his hand out, pulled out a chair from the side, and sat down in front of him.
Sandom looked at him in surprise and asked, "Do you know who I am?"
"Is it strange that I know you? Wilson is my father. How can I not know what kind of person he is?"
Hearing this, Sandom didn't say anything. He knew that Wilson and Theodore didn't get along well with each other, but it was also because of this that he didn't want to say anything.
"I know your mouth is tight, thus I won't ask any questions. I just want to know what you told the old lady that made her cause trouble at my company."
"Didn't you say that you wouldn't ask anything?"
Theodore laughed lightly, and the ridicule in his eyes grew stronger. "She's already dead so you can say whatever you want. Can't I know what Wilson has planned to ruin my reputation?" Sandom laughed. His voice became louder as he laughed. His face was so chubby that his eyes looked small.
"Now that you know it was your father who did this, why do you ask me? At worst, you can call the police and I'll end up in prison. That's all." Sandom was not a fool. He had seen all kinds of things, thus how could he be fooled by a few words? The very first day he came here, he knew that he would not have a good ending.
Seeing that he had already thought of a way out, Theodore wasn't surprised. He stood up and said, "Since you've made it clear, I won't question you any further. By the way, how's your mother?"
Sandom's expression changed. "What did you say?"
"Your mother is sick. She's still in the hospital."
