Deep Love Hidden From Him

Chapter 181

"What is this?"

Yvonne took the envelope.

Everleigh said, "Madam Scott's apology gift. She knows about the kidnapping case and she also knows that you didn't put the blame on the Godfrey family for the sake of their pride, so she is giving this to you."

Upon hearing this, Yvonne paused as she pulled out the check. She put it back without even looking at it. Her expression was very bad. "Does she think that I'm short of money?"

"Madam Scott is not such a person. She probably just wanted to make it up to you on behalf of the Godfrey family."

"No need. I don't need this kind of compensation." Yvonne's expression fell. "I don't care what the truth of the kidnapping case is. The fact is that Madison's people kidnapped Hansen, but I haven't even received any apology from her until now."

Everleigh's expression turned bitter. "You want Mrs. Godfrey to apologize? That's impossible."

"I'm afraid that that's harder than getting into heaven," Everleigh thought to herself.

Not to mention that Mrs. Godfrey's original intention was not to kidnap Hansen. Even if she had intended to do that in the first place, given her domineering character, she would definitely not yield to Yvonne no matter what.

Yvonne's expression was very ugly. "What do you mean? Do I not deserve an apology?"

"That's not what I meant."

"Enough, I don't want to know what you mean. If I had known that you were on the side of the Godfrey family, I wouldn't have asked you out today."

Before Everleigh could react, Yvonne directly slammed the check onto the table. Her face was livid. "Please take this back and..."

Yvonne took the contract from the table and said, "I will take this. The contract between us will be canceled once and for all. Just take it as I have misjudged you."

"Miss Miller..."

Watching Yvonne walk away, Everleigh was confused. She didn't know why Yvonne suddenly vented her anger on her. It was as if Yvonne had turned into a different person.

When she thought about it, she realized that Yvonne was not the kind of person who had a lust for wealth. How could she accept a check as compensation and behave as if nothing had happened?

If she'd known this earlier, she wouldn't have agreed to Theodore's request, causing Yvonne to misunderstand her.

Everleigh glanced at the envelope on the table out of the corner of her eyes. When she was about to take it, something suddenly came to her mind, as if there was a string connected to the envelope.

How could Theodore not think about the things that she thought of.

Theodore knew that it was impossible that Yvonne would accept the check, but he still asked Everleigh to give it to her. In fact, he was not trying to apologize to Yvonne. He was setting up a trap for Everleigh as he wanted to take this opportunity to draw a clear line between Everleigh and Yvonne's family!

After Everleigh made the connection from Theodore's sudden appearance at her house the previous day, Everleigh was even more certain of her guess. In an instant, anger surged within her. She grabbed the envelope and hurried out.

At the Godfrey Group's headquarters.

Theodore was reading a document in his office.

"Dr. Trevino, Mr. Godfrey is at work. You can't enter."

"Get out of the way."

A harsh sound of the door opening could be heard and the door slammed into the door frame, causing a loud bang. Everleigh rushed straight into the door and threw the thin envelope onto Theodore's desk.

"Theodore, you tricked me!"

Her angry voice echoed through the large office and everyone behind her was shocked and broke out in cold sweat.

Moses stood at the door, not daring to breathe. He stumbled and said, "Mr. Godfrey... Dr. Trevino insisted on coming in. We really couldn't stop her."

Theodore's expression was calm as he glanced at the door. Moses immediately understood his meaning and closed the door, sending everyone away.

Only Everleigh and Theodore were left in the office.

"Have you met up with Yvonne?" Theodore's deep voice could be heard. Across the table, Everleigh heard him clearly.

His calmness made Everleigh angrier and this sentence made her even more sure of her guess. She gnashed her teeth and said, "You asked me to give this to Yvonne not because she would be more willing to accept it. You wanted her to misunderstand and think that I am on the same side as the Godfrey family, so that she would draw a clear line from me!"

Theodore looked at her and parted his thin lips in a mischievous manner. "Yes."

"Despicable!" Everleigh's hands were shaking with anger. "What the hell are you trying to do? What's your advantage in doing so?"

"I've told you a long time ago that you should resign from the job Yvonne gave you."

"This is my job. What does it have to do with you?"

Everleigh clenched her fists and said, "I initially thought you felt guilty, so you went to see Alastair and Adrienne. It turns out that you planned it carefully and tricked me like you would a monkey!"

When she thought of a moment from the night before, she even felt pity for Theodore's unscrupulous mother, Madison, and for him. This made her feel extremely ridiculous.

Theodore's eyes gradually turned ice-cold. This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

"I'll put the check here. I'll find a way to get back the job of the family doctor for Yvonne's family. It's no use no matter how you plan it. Please don't meddle too much in my affairs in the future."

With this sentence, Everleigh made a gesture to turn around and leave.

"Stop right there!"

The cold voice stopped Everleigh's footsteps, but it was only for a moment. She snorted coldly and continued to walk towards the door.

The man's footsteps came from behind. Before Everleigh came back to her senses, she felt a pain around her wrist and she gasped.

Theodore grabbed hold of her wrist. With his tall height, he was able to suppress everyone with his imposing presence. His figure blocked the sunlight shining through the window behind him and the shadow-shrouded air seemed to grow even more oppressive.

"Do you really think that I don't know why you accepted the job from Yvonne's family?"

Everleigh's heart sank. She raised her head in surprise and met Theodore's aggressive eyes.

Theodore's cold eyes appeared to be indifferent under the shade, just like the time when they first met. His eyes were filled with impatience towards her. "Do you really think that you can take advantage of Yvonne and the Godfrey family's feud to get revenge for what happened back then?"

Everleigh subconsciously took a step back, but as soon as she took a step back, Theodore took a step forward. The cold look in his eyes made her heart tremble.

Her legs hit the door behind her and she had nowhere to retreat. Facing Theodore's merciless look, Everleigh gritted her teeth and said, "So it's not that you want me to draw a clear line from Yvonne for my safety. You are afraid that Yvonne and I will join forces and hurt your mother and the Godfrey family!"

Upon hearing this, Theodore's gaze turned ice-cold. He stared at the woman in front of him, as if he wanted to tear open her heart and see if there was still any trace of love left in it.

His cold eyes made Everleigh panic. She subconsciously raised her other hand to push him away, but before she could touch him, her other hand was caught.

With a loud bang, her hand was pressed against the door.

"Theodore, what are you doing?" Everleigh started to panic.

"Yvonne is not that capable, and neither are you."

After that, a shadow suddenly enlarged in Everleigh's eyes. Before she could react, all the sounds in her throat came to an abrupt end and her mouth was sealed up.

"Umm!" Her pupils contracted violently and her brain buzzed.
