Chapter 264
Mrs. Godfrey's angry voice echoed in the room, ringing loud in everyone's ears.
Everleigh stood up to her, her eyes cold as ice.
"Mrs. Godfrey, you have used such a way to destroy my reputation. Are you not also ignoring my existence?"
"Whatever I did does not justify whatever you’ ve done. You've caused Helen's death; how dare you stand here and talk to me in this manner?" Mrs. Godfrey hated the sight of Everleigh.
It was all this woman's fault that her son treated her like an enemy.
"Mrs. Godfrey, statements should be backed up with evidence. You are saying that she killed Madam Helen, but there is nothing to support your statement." Dr. Harrison also stood up and protected Everleigh behind him. He wouldn’t want anything to happen to her.
She felt touched at the sight of Dr. Harrison standing up for her.
"Tell me then, how did my mother-in-law die without any reason?"
"A heart transplant surgery always has its own risks. Your son was well aware of this fact, but he still signed his consent nevertheless. No one wanted to see Madam Helen's parting, but you should not blame others for this," Stainley said firmly as he stood up.
No matter what, they knew that they were on the right side.
Everleigh would certainly not be punished for this, just based on mere words.
Mrs. Godfrey saw that they were all angry with her, so she stretched out her fingers and pointed at them, her hands trembling.
"Well, aren't you all on the same side. Trying to bring me down, are you? Well, I'll show you what I'm made of." Mrs. Godfrey was burning with anger as she turned around and left.
Mr. Lawson looked at her retreating figure worriedly. He couldn't possibly guess what she would do after this.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for Mrs. Godfrey to stop the hospital's resources and funds, making Mr. Lawson even more busy. There were too many shenanigans like this, so it was meaningless for him to drive Everleigh out of the hospital at this point.
That would make him one who broke his promises.
Mr. Lawson called Theodore several times but no one picked up. He was at a loss.
Being the middleman sure was hard as hell.
When Christopher came to the hospital and learned that Everleigh had come back, he was overjoyed. However, he looked extremely haggard, as if he hadn't slept in days.
"I thought you went to a nightclub? Why did you end up in this state? Did the girls' beauty make you become like this?" Everleigh's questions further deteriorated his bad mood.
"Don't even mention it. I have been waiting there for days but to no avail. I even ran into my sister there. You can't even imagine how embarrassed I was. I won't be going there for the time being." He couldn't help but be angry about that.
He wasn't there to have fun, but to handle serious matters. He still had his dignity after all.
Everleigh was surprised. She didn't expect him to have met Felicia by coincidence.
"So, you're saying... You haven't found it?"
He nodded, looking dejected and helpless. He then looked up and added, "Tell my sister to not freeze my credit card, otherwise I can't even go to the nightclub to help you investigate."
"It's not that I don't want to help you. I just think that I don't have any say in this." In the past, she was still the so-called daughter-in-law of the Meyer family and had a little say about things. However, they were not really married. What should she say about this?
"I..." Before Everleigh finished her words, her cell phone rang. It was a call from Felicia.
Well, never talk about others behind their backs.
"Hello."
"Everleigh, are you free? Let's meet up." Felicia was still commanding. She glanced at Christopher, and was relieved to see that he didn't seem to have heard her.
"Alright."
"Who is it?"
"Your sister."
"If she's looking for you, you must tell her about my credit card, otherwise, I really can't afford to help you." He grabbed her hands and looked at her pleadingly.
Everleigh ignored him. She took off her white coat, put it aside and grabbed her bag. She then told him if he wanted to get his allowance, he had to take good care of the patients. Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.
"Alright, alright." Upon hearing this, he felt much more relieved. After all, money was the most important thing to him.
Felicia was already at the restaurant when Everleigh arrived. Documents were spread out on the table, meaning Felicia took time out just to meet her.
"Miss Meyer, sorry to have kept you waiting."
When Felicia heard her voice, she frowned and asked, "What did you just address me as?"
"Miss... Miss Meyer..." Everleigh felt that she had used the right title. She wasn't really married to Christopher, so she shouldn't be addressing her as her sister or by her name, like he did.
"Don't you have a marriage certificate with my younger brother now? You're the daughter-in-law of the Meyer family. You should at least know this," Felicia remarked sharply. Obviously, she was very dissatisfied with the address.
Everleigh bowed her head and remained silent.
Felicia realized that she was speaking in a rather harsh tone. She then said, "That brat, he went to the nightclub. Do you know about this?" "I do. He's there for business." "I don't really care, but I want to tell you that this boy is a cunning one, so I cut him off. If you want to give it to him, you can. If you don't want to give it to him, you can keep it for yourself. It's not good to live in the Trevino family anyway. Feel free to come back and visit. My parents still miss Alastair and Adrienne," Felicia said everything in one breath, then handed Everleigh a credit card.
She didn't come to her senses after a long time, but she knew that Felicia wasn't angry.
"I'm sorry, Felicia. I..."
"Someone from the Meyer family is here." A woman’s voice came from the door. Felicia and Everleigh looked over in the direction of the voice.
There, Mrs. Godfrey and Josephine were together.
Josephine stood behind, posed elegantly as she said, "Everleigh, you're here too."
Everleigh pressed her thin lips together, and didn't mean to answer.
Felicia frowned and asked, "Who are they? Are you familiar with them?"
"Not at all!"
"Exactly what I thought. Don't bother with people whom you are unfamiliar with. The Meyer Family doesn't just talk to anyone." Felicia's voice was not loud, but it was as cold as ice.
She didn't show any respect at all.
This was especially true for Josephine.
No matter how polite Josephine was, she still couldn't take such humiliation. Her eyes instantly turned red as she remarked in an aggrieved tone, "Everleigh, although you're angry with me, you can't..."
"Miss Allen, Miss Bailey, if you don't have anything else to say, please leave. We would like to catch up." Felicia interrupted Josephine, seeming to be extremely impatient.
It was as if Josephine was a fly that kept hovering around.
"What... What's with your attitude?"
"What's your attitude then, Miss Allen? I was in the middle of talking to my sister-in-law. I don’t recall creating any nuisance to the both of you. Seeing how both of you came here straight away, did you know that we were here?" Felicia looked at Josephine dangerously, causing her to flinch. She didn't even dare to look into her eyes.
