"What did you say?" Everleigh looked at her.
Selena's expression changed, and she realized she had made an indiscreet remark. "Didn't you hear what I said? I don't have a sister like you. It's your own ability that you managed to climb up to the Meyer family. I don't intend to benefit from it. Don't ask me to go to your wedding. I don't want to go." All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.
Everleigh only thought that Selena was angry with her. When she was about to say something, a voice suddenly came from behind the screen, directly interrupting her words. "What wedding? Why hold a wedding ceremony for a fake marriage?"
Both of them were flustered.
At this time, Helen came out from behind the screen of the corridor, looking anxious. She said, "Everleigh, don't scare me. You are just having a meal with their family. Why are you talking about a wedding?"
"Grandma?" Everleigh was taken aback. "Why are you here?"
Before Helen could speak, another tall figure appeared from behind the screen. "Grandma, why did you come out on your own? Everyone is waiting..."
Theodore's voice came to an abrupt halt the moment he saw Everleigh. His eyes were filled with shock.
As their gazes met, Everleigh pursed her lips and subconsciously clenched her fists.
"Mr. Godfrey?" Selena's voice which sounded suspicious came from the side. She looked at Theodore and glanced at Everleigh again. Crossing her arms, she frowned and said, "What kind of show is this?"
"It can't be such a coincidence that you are also having dinner here, can it?" Everleigh was the first to speak, with a cold tone.
If she remembered correctly, Helen had previously invited her to the Thanksgiving banquet of the Godfrey family. They were supposed to hold it in another hotel, which was very far away from here. It was not this hotel at all.
The corners of Theodore's lips twitched slightly, revealing an extremely reluctant arc.
He knew that no matter how he explained, he couldn't explain the current situation. Grandma had made her own decision, and he had to be the scapegoat.
"Everleigh, as you can see, it's just a coincidence," Helen didn't see anything wrong between the two and tried to ease the atmosphere. "I know you are busy attending your family's banquet, but you are indispensable here too. You are my attending physician. What am I going to do if something happens? That's why I also booked this place."
Everleigh looked reluctant and said, "Grandma, you don't have to explain. The hotel is not owned by my family. I have no right to stop you from holding the Godfrey family's banquet here. I have something to attend to, thus I can't accompany you now. Have a good evening then."
After saying this, she took Selena's arm and said, "Selena, come back with me."
"Stop it." She shook off Everleigh's hand and watched the fun. "I think Madam Scott seems to have things to say to you. Everleigh, it's impolite of you to just walk away."
At this moment, Helen straightened her back. Ignoring Theodore's obstruction, she grabbed Everleigh's hand and asked, "Everleigh, are you really going to have a wedding with that kid from the Meyer family?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Theodore's face turned pale.
If it was in the past, he would be angry, unwilling, and would personally question the woman in front of him.
However, what happened seven years ago was like a huge obstacle in front of them. This obstacle was personally built by him. What right did he have to ask her who she was going to marry?
Everleigh frowned, but she still said patiently, "Grandma, when the wedding date is settled, the Godfrey family will definitely receive the invitation. I will send it to you personally."
Christopher and Everleigh had known each other for so many years. One had a secret that could not be revealed, and the other had no will to get married. Marriage was a formality for both of them. With marriage as the outer shell, and family as the inner shell, there was nothing wrong with it.
However, Helen's expression changed immediately. "How can you do that? Even if it's for the sake of the two children, you absolutely shouldn't get married to the Meyer family."
"Grandma, they are my children."
"They are also children of the Godfrey family! Everleigh, don't think that I don't know anything." Helen was anxious and turned to glare at the butler, "Why don't you take it out?"
"What do you know?" Everleigh didn't understand.
"These two kids belong to you and Theodore. I recognized them at first glance. What's scary is that you refused to admit it, thus I specially sent someone to do the DNA tests."
"What?" Everleigh's expression changed dramatically.
The moment the butler took out the documents, Theodore snatched it from him. His mind went blank when he saw the results on the results.
The results of the paternity test showed that Alastair and Adrienne were indeed his children.
"Everleigh," Theodore looked at her with ecstasy on his pale face. "Alastair and Adrienne are my children."
Everleigh's knees went limp. She staggered back suddenly and leaned against the wall.
How could it be?
She had thought about ten thousand ways to confirm the identities of the two children, but she had never thought that it would end up like this.
The children's birth father was Theodore. The shame of this news was far greater than happiness. Yet, this news was revealed to her by others, and it was in public.
"That's impossible!" A harsh voice could be heard from the other side of the booth's doorway.
Madison suddenly came out. She walked up to Theodore and snatched the DNA test from him. "How could those two children be the children of the Godfrey family? There's definitely something wrong with the DNA test!" She said angrily.
"What are you talking about?" Helen gave her a hard look and said, "I'm the one who sent people to do the DNA test. There's nothing wrong with it!"
"It's impossible." Madison's expression darkened. "Those two children are b*stards who don't even know who their father is. Our Godfrey family will never allow Everleigh into our family."
It was as if dirty water was poured onto Everleigh's body.
When the feeling of humiliation reached a peak, she calmed down. Under the dispute between Helen and Madison, she asked coldly, "Mrs. Godfrey, how can you be so sure that my two children
have nothing to do with Theodore?"
Madison froze. "Do... Do you need me to tell you that? Seven years ago, you did that kind of thing..."
"Enough!" Theodore shouted. He glared at Madison so hard that his eyes were about to bulge out. His eyes were bloodshot, as if he had endured it to his limits.
Everleigh looked at him and laughed with selfmockery. "What kind of thing? I don't have a good memory. Please help me recall it, Mrs. Godfrey."
"You..."
"Shut up." Although Helen didn't know what had happened, she didn't give Madison a chance to speak at all. "If you say one more word, you'd better not step into our family's door from today onwards!"
"Mom!" Madison couldn't believe what she had heard. "You've been manipulated by this woman! Are you trying to kick me out just to let her join the Godfrey family?"
Seeing that her daughter- in- law was so unreasonable, Helen was so angry that she almost fainted. She felt dizzy and took Everleigh's hand to comfort her. "Everleigh, don't be afraid. I'll support you."
Everleigh was terribly calm, and her words were clear. "Even if you give me ten lives, I wouldn't dare to take a step inside the Godfrey family's door. Grandma, didn't you say that you would support me? Then, I'll tell you what exactly happened to me seven years ago. Please speak up for me then."
