Said I didn’t Love Him But I Lied

Missha looked at Adrienne with a smile. “That’s right. That’s why you should come out more often.”

“Grand-Aunt, you’re the best.” Adrienne grinned, revealing her teeth. She could barely contain her excitement.

Everleigh looked at her and smiled without saying anything.

Soon, they arrived at the top of the mountain. There was a small holiday villa.

Although it was not huge, the scenery was amazing.

“Aunt Missha, when did you get this place?”

“I built this because I enjoy the scenery here. Let’s get out of the car. I’ll bring all of you around,” Missha said while holding something in her hand.

The four of them walked into the villa.

Alastair and Adrienne looked at the decoration in the house. They were very excited about getting to stay there. The interior of the villa was simple and clean.

“It’s nice.” As Adrienne said that, she took out her mobile phone and was about to make a phone call. However, she was disappointed because there was no signal.

“Grand-Aunt, why isn’t there any signal here?”

“We are in the mountains. How can there be a signal here? There are wireless ones over there. Try that over there.” Missha pointed to a corner where there was some wireless equipment.

Adrienne went over there happily.

Everleigh, on the other hand, looked at the other side of the mountain. It seemed like they were next to a cliff.

It seemed dangerous.

“What are you looking at? It’s dangerous here.”

“Why did you choose this place?”

“It’s quiet. Sometimes things can get too complicated. It’s nice to have a quiet place to rest and empty your mind. Your father told me that.” Missha recalled the scene just like it was yesterday.

Everleigh lowered her head and kept quiet.

“Let’s go; it’s windy here. Let’s make something to eat in a bit. I’ll take you around. I was told there are some wild animals around.”

“Okay.” Everleigh nodded.

On the other side, Alexander stopped somewhere far away and did not get close. There was only one road up the mountain. After some thought, he left.

Theodore was busy with his own work. Moses informed him that someone had entered the warehouse and even ravaged through the things. Theodore realized that something was wrong and went over there immediately.

“Did you call the police?”

“We called the police, but we didn’t lose anything,” Moses answered truthfully.

Theodore’s eyes narrowed as he looked at the mess in the warehouse. He knew exactly what was going on.

“What about the jewelry?”

“We transferred it somewhere else. No one knows about it except us.”

“Keep a close eye on the jewelry. They’ll be back,” Theodore said in a deep voice before leaving.

When he walked out of the warehouse, he wanted to call Everleigh, but she did not answer. He thought for a while before going to the Jenkins family house to ask where Saniogo where they were.

Saniogo looked at him and said, “We’ll know when Alexander comes back in a while.”

“Uncle Saniogo, have you found out about Aunt Missha?” Theodore asked tentatively.

Saniogo frowned slightly. “What do you mean by that?”

Theodore took a deep breath and gave him a quick look at his phone. “Uncle Saniogo, this is what I’ve investigated. Wilson went overseas for plastic surgery. The investigation showed that it had something to do with Aunt Missha. Also, Elvir’s death has something to do with her too.”

Saniogo was silent for a moment. He had no intention of saying anything else.

“Uncle Saniogo, I don’t know what you think about her, but I’m telling you, if my investigation is confirmed, don’t blame me for what will happen.” There was a deep look in Theodore’s eyes. Although what he said wasn’t right, he would not let the people who hurt Everleigh’s parents go easily.

Saniogo thought about it for a while. “I know about this, but I haven’t taken action yet. Missha still has something with her.”

Theodore heaved a sigh of relief after hearing his words. If Saniogo really thought so, it was fine. At least he wasn’t trying to cover up for her.

“Uncle Saniogo, how much do you know?”

“The jewelry is missing. I’m looking for them as well,” Saniogo said in a disappointed tone.

Theodore continued to stare at him. “Uncle Saniogo, how much did you find out?”

“I don’t know much, but I did not tell anyone but you.” When Saniogo finished his words, Alexander entered the room.

“Dad.”

“Why did you come back so late? Did you find them?”

“They’re in the mountains in the countryside. There’s a holiday villa there. I only found out about that place today,” Alexander answered truthfully.

Theodore and Saniogo’s expressions changed at the same time as if they had heard something bad.

“Why are you two wearing the same expression?”

“We’ll head over right now.” Theodore was worried about Everleigh and the children. If Missha was to do something, it would be troublesome.

Alexander saw the serious expression on his face and felt like he was not lying. He did not delay for a moment and quickly led them there.

At the same time, Theodore ordered Moses to bring some people with him.

Everleigh coaxed Alastair and Adrienne to sleep.

When she came out, she heard some noise from the living room. She could hear a conversation behind closed doors.

“You’re all good-for-nothings. Can’t you find the jewelry?”

“I’m sorry, Miss Jenkins. We tried our best, but we couldn’t find anything.”

“Keep looking then. Theodore has many warehouses; search all of them!” Missha ordered sternly.

When Everleigh heard her talk about Theodore, she was shocked. She did not know what he had taken away from Missha.

“Miss Jenkins, it’s not that we don’t want to go. Theodore has increased the security in his warehouses. There’s no way for us to enter at all.”

Everleigh stood at the door and continued to listen to them.

Missha sat in a chair, her eyes full of abstinence. No one knew what she was thinking.

“Let me know after you find out where it is. I’ll keep Everleigh here. Theodore will bring them here for her.”

“Yes.” The man was about to leave after saying that. Everleigh wanted to hide, but it was already too late.

“Who is it?” That man roared angrily.

Initially, Everleigh wanted to run away, but when she heard this, she stopped in her tracks.

She looked at Missha who was on the other side coldly.

The two women faced each other. “Why did you do that?”

“I had no choice. Theodore has my jewelry,” Missha said coldly.

Everleigh sneered. Missha made it sound reasonable.

What did she mean by Theodore having her jewelry? She was the one who had done something wrong. Otherwise, why would he take them away?

“Aunt Missha, if you haven’t done anything wrong, why would he take away your things?”

Missha looked at her face coldly and laughed. “Everleigh, you are his daughter, but why is it that you don’t look like him at all?”

Everleigh’s expression froze. She did not understand what Missha was saying.Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
