Deep Love Hidden From Him

Chapter 545

Alexander was stunned by her question. "Oh, I'm here to see if there's any lemonade. I've been staying up late recently, and my metabolism has been slowing to a crawl."

Nodding, Cecil then asked someone to pour him a glass of lemonade.

"Cecil, about your brother..."

"My brother will be fine. He has always been a strict person. How can he be manipulated easily by others?" Although she said it easily, her heart ached as if it was being grabbed.

Though he did not expose her, he picked up on the sorrow in her eyes.

It was good for her to be in a state of self-denial, at least it could support her faith.

In addition, she would let others know that nothing bad had happened to Lenold.

When they came out of the kitchen, Felicia's eyes had turned red. It was not rocket science to surmise what had happened.

At that moment, all four of them were in silence.

The silence was broken when Thaud and Diana arrived.

They were taken aback by their arrival.

"Everleigh, you're here," Diana squeezed out a greeting. It wouldn't hurt to be polite.

Everleigh nodded and asked, "When did you come back?"

"I heard about Lenold last night, so I came back immediately." Diana's gentle voice came through, and the concern in her voice was obvious.

However, her words took a different form in the ears of Cecil and Everleigh. They assumed that she couldn't wait for him to be in trouble.

Diana couldn't read their minds, but she turned to look at Alexander. She had met him, the eldest of the Jenkins family, before.

Looking at his handsome features, she had an idea.

"You're one of the members of the Jenkins family, yes? Hi, I'm Diana. Have you ever heard of me from my sister?" Diana extended her hand in a very generous manner.

She put on a genuine smile.

However, Alexander glanced at her hand and said coldly, "Miss Hayes, shouldn't you be concerned about the safety of your brother first at this moment?"

His words embarrassed her.

"Some people just like the attention," Thaud mumbled from the back, and everyone could hear the sarcasm in his tone.

After hearing what he'd said, Diana couldn't help but feel humiliated.

"I... I just don't want to neglect the guest."

"Those who are here are all my friends. They don't care about these unnecessary greetings. Diana, go back to your room if you have nothing else in mind," Cecil said unpleasantly.

Diana bit her lip and her face filled with grievances. She turned around and went upstairs.

Felicia had encountered countless people, so she was all too clear about what Diana was thinking.

"Cecil, this sister..."

"Sister? No way. She's just a child who was fostered by the Hayes family." Cecil was leaning against the sofa and was displeased by Diana's presence.

Everleigh gently tapped Felicia, signaling her not to speak of it again.

Felicia understood as well. She sat on the sofa and didn't say a word.

It was almost noon when Jaseh returned. When he saw the visitors in his house, he knew what

was going on.

"Dad, how is it?"

"The government has found some clues and they know that your brother is active abroad. At least now we can ensure that he is still alive," he said with slight excitement.

Hearing this, Everleigh was delighted and asked, "Do... Do you know the exact location?"

"It's at the border of Maniville, but it's still dangerous, and it's hard to get in." Hearing this made him feel a little sad. If it was in an ordinary place, they would have already sent a plane to find him, but it was also a place where the law was absent, and it could be chaotic.

When Felicia heard the news, her heart was ignited with hope. At least they received some clues about him rather than having no information at all.

Everleigh turned to look at her. When she saw the emotions in her eyes, her heart sank a little. She was afraid that Felicia would take action on her own and search for Lenold herself.

"Uncle Jaseh, since we know where he is, I'll go back first and send people to look for him."

Without waiting for the others to speak, Felicia had already left.

Cecil watched as she walked away. She couldn't

help but praise her brother's taste in women.

Felicia was a good person.

"Miss Meyer is a loyal person." Thaud admired Felicia very much. When he recalled her arrival the previous day, he was more or less stunned.

"Dad, are you satisfied with this daughter-in-law?" Cecil asked with a smile.

Jaseh nodded. The smile in his eyes grew even wider. He thought of his son's attitude, and thought that it was already good enough for him to have a wife, regardless of who the person was.

Felicia was well known in the business industry, especially during the time when she'd competed with Wilson. It was a clear- cut victory for her. Everyone knew who she was.

As a father, he was genuinely happy to see her attitude towards Lenold.

"Cecil, you should know that in your father's eyes, it's already a miracle that someone is willing to marry Lenold. The requirements won't be too much," Thaud joked.

The atmosphere in the room was very harmonious.

Alexander and Everleigh looked at each other.

They were both happy for Lenold.

Cecil sent Everleigh and Alexander to the door. He said to her, "I will send people to that place as I have friends there."

"Thank you."

"Aren't we friends? 'Thank you' sounds weird." He didn't like such words.

He was willingly offering help to her. Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Hearing what he said, Cecil felt a little strange, but she couldn't point out what was strange about it.

Everleigh wanted to laugh when she saw her reaction. She assumed that Cecil was not the sharpest tool in the shed and didn't know what he meant.

On their way back, Alexander looked at Everleigh and asked, "What questions do you have for me?"

"I don't. If you want to go for Cecil, now is the best time. I have been with her for so many years, and I know her temperament very well. In other words, no matter who is dating Cecil, they don't deserve her. However, if it's you, I can accept it. That's because if you didn't treat her well, I can at least scold you."

He chuckled. "That doesn't sound like a bad idea," he thought.

He had never met anyone like Cecil; at least she was the first amongst the rich and powerful families.

She had a straightforward personality and was loyal to others.

He was grateful to her for his reconciliation with Everleigh.

After they had left, Thaud went back to his room. He overheard Diana's phone call with someone. "How's everything going? Is everything ready?"

"Okay, I'll be on my way. Listen, gather all the shares of the Hayes family for me."

When Thaud heard about the Hayes family's shares, his eyes widened. He took out his phone to send a message to his assistant.

He needed her to find out what was going on with the Hayes family shares.

As soon as he sent the message, Diana opened the door and saw Thaud. Panic filled her eyes.

"Why are you here?"

"Had I not stood here, wouldn't I have missed out on the juicy news? Diana, you are a cold-blooded person who wants to hog other people's property." He didn't hide his hatred for her at all.

He should have been more alert.
