Deep Love Hidden From Him

Chapter 100

Felicia's vicious expression caused the atmosphere to be frozen.

"Felicia, there's a misunderstanding," Christopher smiled apologetically, with a lazy look on his face. "Miss Bailey is our guest, not a pianist."

Felicia didn't look at Christopher. She sized Josephine up judgmentally, "Miss Bailey? You seem unfamiliar. Do we know each other?"

These words undoubtedly humiliated Josephine.

For the Meyer Group's banquet, the guests were either rich or noble, but there were also people who tried to sneak in to get to know the rich and powerful. This was not uncommon.

The surrounding guests were all watching the commotion as they engaged in a flurry of discussion.

"She snuck in, right?"

"To be able to hook up with Mr. Meyer, she's quite capable." Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.

"Didn't you see how dark Miss Meyer's face was? What kind of hook up is this?"

Josephine's face was as pale as paper. She didn't expect that she would fall into such a humiliating situation just by talking to Christopher out of boredom.

"Miss Bailey," Moses' voice came from the crowd.

The next second, Josephine's eyes suddenly lit up as if she had grabbed onto her last hope. "Theodore."

Theodore walked over from the back of the crowd. He was dressed in a formal suit that was neatly ironed, and his eyes were cold and resolute. He was especially eye-catching in the crowd, and

Josephine's words drew everyone's attention to him.

"Mr. Godfrey is here!"

"Mr. Godfrey."

Josephine walked down the stage, lifting her dress. She hurried over to Theodore's side, wanting to affirm her identity. "Theodore, you're finally here."

"What's wrong?" Theodore frowned slightly. His voice was neither soft nor heavy, revealing no emotions.

Josephine couldn't explain clearly in a word or two, and Felicia didn't give her a chance to explain. She directly asked Theodore, "Mr. Godfrey, who is this?"

Just as Theodore was about to make the introductions, his dark eyes suddenly narrowed.

In the crowd on the right, a graceful lady was pulling a young woman as they rushed over. The graceful lady was the star of today's banquet, Madam Collins of the Meyer Group. Almost everyone present knew her.

As for the young woman, Theodore couldn't be more familiar with her.

Why was she here?

Their eyes met for a moment in the air.

Everleigh obviously saw Theodore, but she was only dazed for a moment. Then, she immediately turned her face and walked straight to Christopher as if she didn't know Theodore. She asked in a low voice, "What's going on?"

Everleigh had just played chess with Samuel and was surrounded by the elders of the Meyer family. She had been taught by her father, Abraham, since she was young and had a good grasp of chess. When she was in middle school, she had even won the National Chess Competition.

Before they finished their game, she was pulled away by Vanessa in a hurry. Vanessa didn't even explain anything, but as soon as they got downstairs, they saw such a hostile scene.

"Theodore," Josephine said as she grabbed Theodore's arm anxiously. Theodore came back to his senses when he heard her voice.

Theodore's gaze fell on Felicia once again. With an expressionless face, he said, "Miss Meyer, this is my fiancee, Josephine. I came late, thus I don't know what's going on."

The crowd was enlightened. They had heard that the Godfrey Group had announced the identity of Theodore's fiancee some time ago. However, she hadn't revealed her face in public for a long time.

"Your fiancee?" Felicia's gaze swept across Josephine's face. Her slightly raised chin carried an inexplicable sense of arrogance, as if she was mocking something; this caused Josephine to feel an inexplicable sense of guilt.

Theodore's brows furrowed.

"It's nothing. It's just a misunderstanding. As Miss Bailey has a fiance like Mr. Godfrey, I think it's impossible for her to be unaware of her words and deeds outside, isn't it?"

Felicia's words almost made Josephine's blood boil with anger. Her voice was as soft as a mosquito's while explaining timidly, "Theodore, it's not like that. I didn't do anything."

"Enough," Theodore glanced at the man behind Felicia and recognized him as the famous youngest son of the Meyer family. Hence, Theodore immediately understood what was going on.

Josephine had no choice but to shut her mouth in a grievance.

The butler rushed over to disperse the surrounding guests. Only Theodore, Josephine, and the Meyer family members were left at the scene.

Theodore's gaze remained fixed on Everleigh the whole time.

She was wearing a dark gown with shoulder-length designs. It made her look especially elegant and her curves were especially beautiful. Her delicate collarbones were so attractive that one could not move their eyes away from them. They were firmly grabbing the glances of every man who walked past her.

"Mr. Godfrey, it's the first time for you to meet my brother, right?" Felicia took the initiative to introduce Christopher. "This is my brother, Christopher. Next to him is my sister- in- law, Everleigh."

The moment Theodore heard the words 'sisterin- law', his brow furrowed and he suddenly stared at both of them.

Everleigh was also looking at him. When she caught his gaze, she was stunned for a moment. While she was in a daze, she felt an arm on her shoulder and heard Christopher's voice. "You don't need to introduce her. Everleigh told me that she knows Mr. Godfrey."

"You know each other?" Felicia glanced at Everleigh in confusion.

Christopher smiled at Theodore, "Felicia, Everleigh, and Miss Bailey were best friends. Of course, she knows Miss Bailey's fiance, right?"

As soon as his words fell, the faces of Theodore and Josephine turned a little ugly.

Josephine, in particular, showed a ridiculous expression when she heard Felicia introduce Everleigh as her sister-in-law. How could it be possible?

They hadn't seen each other for a while, but she had turned into Madam Everleigh of the Meyer family?

Moreover, she could tell from Christopher's words that he had already known her all this while. Was he playing with her when he teased her the whole time earlier?

At the thought of this, her face turned paler.

On the other side, Theodore's eyes were as cold as ice. "Yes, I know her, but Josephine never told me when Miss Trevino got married after studying abroad for seven years."

At this moment, Everleigh had calmed down.

She hadn't expected Theodore to bring Josephine over. Mrs. Godfrey was the one invited to the Meyer family's banquet list. When she saw how close Josephine was holding onto Theodore's arm, for a moment, she felt a stabbing pain in her eyes.

In fact, he had a good life in the past seven years without her.

Everleigh looked at Theodore with a decent smile and said gracefully, "Christopher and I married abroad. We didn't hold any ceremonies because we were still studying."

Hearing this, Theodore clenched his fists tightly. The veins on the back of his hands were about to pop out.

Vanessa had always been by Everleigh's side, but she didn't feel anything wrong with the atmosphere. She smiled and said to Theodore, "Although the ceremony wasn't held, Everleigh is the daughter- in- law acknowledged by the entire Meyer family. We will definitely hold a wedding ceremony in the future. When the time comes, Mr. Godfrey, you must come and attend the wedding banquet with your fiancee."

The words "daughter- in- law acknowledged by the entire Meyer family" pressed down on Theodore's chest like a thousand- pound stone. The dull thumping of a drum echoed in his chest.
