Deep Love Hidden From Him

Chapter 692

Theodore's eyes flashed and his aura gradually grew colder. His tone grew icier as well. "Repeat what you said one more time."

Melissa's eyes were seeing red. It was as if she was not afraid at all. "It's the same no matter how many times I repeat it. Just like her parents, she should have died." Her voice was loud and everyone in the room could hear it clearly.

Saniogo, however, was unhappy. He shouted angrily, "Shut your mouth! Melissa, you should stop being rude!"

He rarely lost his temper, but that day, it was the first time he had scolded Melissa.

All these years, he had never reprimanded his siblings and their spouses no matter what they had done. However, Melissa had really gone too farthat day.

When the people around heard his voice, they all shivered. They looked at his gloomy face and the cold chill in his eyes.

Melissa's body trembled as she stared at him in horror.

"Cynthia is dead. No one wanted this to happen. Besides, Everleigh is the victim as well. If Cynthia had not tried to kill her, the car accident would not have happened. How can you blame it on someone else? Melissa, are you trying to look for an excuse for yourself?" Saniogo's low, cold voice was like a spell which pierced through Yeezoo and Melissa.

Everleigh looked down and said nothing. In fact, she did not mind being scolded. However, it sounded like Melissa knew something she did not.

Otherwise, why would she talk about her father at this time?

"Aunt Melissa, tell me, what have I done? Why is it that everyone is against me?" Everleigh asked in a deep voice.

Hearing her words, Melissa burst into anger. "Yes, everyone hates you. Why did you come back after being missing for so many years? If I had known earlier... I should have let you get on the plane. Then, you wouldn't have come back alive."

"Aunt Fenna, you should stop talking," Missha interrupted her.

Melissa's eyes were misty with tears as she looked at her. She could only forcefully hold back her tears and remain silent.

Missha knew that Melissa loved her daughter very much, but there were some things that she should not say. She turned to look at Everleigh and said, "Everleigh, she's sad because of Cynthia's death. Please don't mind her."

"I know. I will remember what she said. However, I hope you understand this. Just because I didn't say a word doesn't mean that I'm fine. I can understand that you are sad, but if you do this again in the future, don't blame me for whatever I do." Everleigh took a step forward. A hint of cunningness appeared on that innocent face of hers. She stared straight at Melissa, as if she could see through her thoughts.

Cecil and Alexander exchanged looks with each other. It was the first time that they had seen Everleigh like this. She was the most understanding person. Why did she...

There was a slight change of emotions in Missha's eyes when she saw this.

However, Theodore noticed it.

"Alright, Everleigh. Let's all take a step back today," Saniogo said as he tried to smooth things over.Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

Everleigh, of course, would respect her eldest uncle.

She just stood there and looked at Melissa quietly. The latter was confused. Logically speaking, she should have flown into rage or even hit Everleigh.

However, when she saw Everleigh's expression, she did not dare to move.

Yeezoo put his arm around her shoulder and said,

"Lets go."

Just like that, he dragged his wife away.

Missha and Saniogo both glanced at Everleigh. He spoke up, "She's devastated by Cynthia's death. Everleigh, please forgive her."

"Of course I don't mind. Don't worry, I was just giving her a warning."

Saniogo nodded and left without saying a word.

At the entrance, Theodore, Everleigh and the younger ones watched their cars leave. Only then did Cecil ask, "What were you trying to do just now?"

"What Melissa said just now reminded me of something. I wanted to test it out."

Theodore looked down and glanced at her. He took her hand and said, "I know what you're thinking. I'm going to investigate it now."

"Okay." She nodded.

If the previous evidence was pointed at Melissa, it was not unreasonable. What she said earlier meant that she knew that something would happen to the plane back then.

If she had come forward, the tragedies would not have happened.

That was why she said what she just said.

Alexander frowned slightly and said, "Are you talking about what happened to Uncle Welment?"

"Alexander, there are things that I did not share with you. I want to tell you when I have the evidence. However, you should be mentally prepared because... There's a chance that the Jenkins family was the mastermind back then. Do you understand what I'm saying?" Everleigh turned her head and said seriously.

There was not any hint that she was joking.

Alexander's eyes were filled with shock. He was at a loss for words for a long time. He knew that his father had been investigating the incident, but now, he was told that the Jenkins family was behind it. How could he accept this?

Cecil looked at his expression and sighed softly. "Alexander, I know that you have a very strong bond with your family, but I hope that you can understand that not everyone thinks the same."

He took a deep breath and still did not say anything.

"Let's go back and talk about it. We have nothing else to do here." Everleigh looked around and noticed that everyone was looking sad.

They probably would never want to come back to this place for the rest of their lives.

On the way back, Cecil comforted Alexander. She was worried that he would take things too hard, but he was thinking about who would do such a thing.

Everleigh and Theodore went home to rest. They had been busy for the whole morning, so they were very exhausted.

"Everleigh, is everything done?"

"Yes. Everything has been dealt with. All that's left is the burial," she explained and did not mention what happened earlier.

Theodore's heart ached when he heard her light tone.

"That's good. Cynthia's parents seem to be hostile towards you. It's better to stay away from them in the future," Selena said in a worried tone.

Everleigh smiled and said nothing. Sometimes, she would feel that Selena had a good eye.

"It's alright. It's not the first time they behaved like this."

"I think you should visit the Jenkins family less. It's not like they can't live without you." Selena brought them fruits. Since the members of the Jenkins family were so snobbish, it wouldn't matter if Everleigh didn't go there.

After all, she had a place to stay.

Everleigh laughed and said, "Selena, we can't judge everyone the same just because of a few rotten apples. Uncle Saniogo and Alexander are nice to me."

"They are probably the only two who treat you well," Selena responded faintly.

Everleigh was speechless. It was true. Even Missha might not be sincere to her.

Alas... It was hard to tell how people really were inside. Even if they had spent a lot of time together, they might not get along well.

"Selena's words are reasonable. When Yeezoo and Melissa are around, you'd better not go there."
