Deep Love Hidden From Him

Chapter 193

It was very quiet at the dining table. Theodore wasn't usually a talkative person. He ate slowly, without saying a word. Since childhood, he had been taught to always be quiet by his family.

However, because Everleigh had lost her mom very early on, the relatives and elders in her family were particularly tolerant of her, so she developed a free and unrestrained personality. What she couldn't stand the most was a dull atmosphere.

Thinking about the things that happened when she woke up there, she asked Theodore about it. "How did I end up sleeping here last night?"

Theodore replied, "You don't remember?"

Everleigh shook her head and said with hesitation, "I didn't drink any alcohol."

"Then what's the last thing you remember?"

"Last thing I remember?"

Everleigh thought about it carefully and said, "I remember that I sent a waitress to the lounge. She sprained her ankle and then I sat with her for a while. Later..."

After that, she felt as if she had fallen asleep. Then, she could not recall what had happened after that at all.

Theodore was deep in thought. His cool and calm expression darkened slightly and his brows furrowed.

Everleigh asked carefully, "So... What's going on?"

"Nothing, don't you remember? You fell asleep."

"Is that so?" Everleigh looked at Theodore suspiciously. She felt that something wasn't quite right.

If she had really only fallen asleep, she wouldn't have been this deep asleep.

She wanted to ask more, but Theodore's phone suddenly rang. Hence, she had no choice but to swallow her words. Since Cecil was there the previous night, Everleigh had to ask her why she left her there alone.

Theodore went to the living room to answer the call; he deliberately walked a little further away.

"Hello?"

"Mr. Godfrey," Moses' voice came from the other end of the line. "Last night's surveillance footage was destroyed by someone. We can't find out who took Dr. Trevino and Mr. Allen to the room, but we can confirm that Mr. Allen was indeed drugged. The initial results of the blood test have come out."

"What is it?"

"It's a kind of knockout powder, which is very common on the black market. Generally speaking, after taking it, one will be unconscious for a long time. Mr. Allen had a small dosage, so he woke up early. As for Dr. Trevino... She didn't have a blood test, so we don't know how much she had taken."

Upon hearing this, Theodore looked in the direction of the dining hall.

Through the glass door, he could see Everleigh's back. She was eating intently, completely unaware of what had happened the night before.

Thinking back to how she hadn't woken up the whole night, Theodore said, "There's no need for blood tests anymore. She had probably taken quite a bit of it. Are there any side effects?"

"I don't think so."

"Then that's fine. Is it confirmed that the surveillance footage can't be recovered?" Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.

Moses' tone was very cautious. "The camera was broken, so it couldn't record anything.

Thus, nothing can be recovered."

Theodore's brows furrowed slightly, and his eyes turned cold. "Check out the names of all the participants from last night, especially the waitresses."

The other party was stunned for a moment. "All of them?"

For the sake of Helen's health, only the relatives of the Godfrey family were invited to the banquet. However, there were so many people in the family, and if they included the waiters and waitresses, then it was like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Theodore didn't say anything, but the chill seemed to be transmitted through the line. Moses felt it on the other end of the phone and he quickly responded, "Yes, I'll go check it out right away."

After breakfast, the black Mercedes-Benz left Swallow Manor.

On the first floor of the main villa of Swallow Manor, a pair of binoculars witnessed everything.

"Madam, it's time to have breakfast," Helen's butler, Owen, told her. She put down her binoculars and happily sat down.

"What did I say? The marriage between

Theodore and the Bailey family will definitely not happen."

Owen, who was carefully arranging the food at the side, also smiled when he heard this. "How can you be so sure? At the birthday banquet yesterday, Mr. Theodore didn't say anything, and Miss Bailey also came. She even came as his fiancee."

Hearing this, Helen curled her lips, and her face was full of contempt and disdain. "Come on, what kind of fiancee is she? Furthermore, the engagement ceremony has not been held, and she doesn't even have an engagement ring. She only said it verbally. Moreover, Theodore's mother discussed it with the Bailey family over a meal when I was not in Ocpeace City."

When it came to this, Helen's face was full of dissatisfaction.

Owen consoled her. "She's Mr. Theodore's mother, after all. She has the right to make the decision regarding his marriage. Besides, Mr. Theodore didn't object at that time, did he?"

"That was then, but now, it's different."

Helen said with a smile, "Didn't you hear what Lily said just now? How they had breakfast together early in the morning, and how harmonious it was? This is the way to live life. What was he doing with the one from the Bailey family?"

Helen didn't like Josephine, so she couldn't find any likeable thing about her.

Owen said helplessly, "But it's hard to deal with this matter. He can't break off the engagement with the Bailey family for no reason."

"What's so hard about it?" Helen's eyes darkened and her weather-beaten face was calm and unruffled. "What happened last night must have had something to do with her. Get someone to keep an eye on her; you don't have to say anything to her. When the time comes, send everything she did to her father."

Similarly, the Bailey family wanted to curry favor with the Godfrey family. However, Josephine's father was not as bold as his daughter. Once he knew what his daughter had done, he would be scared out of his wits. How would he dare to mention the engagement again?

Owen nodded and said with a sigh, "I haven't seen you care so much about something in many years."

"Is that so?" Helen asked noncommittally.

"Since the incident from years ago, you have almost never interfered in these matters at home..."

When he mentioned what happened 20 years ago, Helen's expression became a little gloomy.

Upon seeing that, Owen knew he had made an inappropriate remark. "I shouldn't have said so much."

However, Helen just frowned. After a moment of silence, she said, "It's a pity that she has not fought for it in so many years. She also came last night, but most of the guests didn't know that she was here. She is quite sensible."

Hearing this, Owen was stunned for a while before he realized who Helen was talking about.

"I've always heard that she's a good-tempered person. If it wasn't for her child, she wouldn't have acted like that this time. It's really because you've been giving in to Madison all these years and she's become a little bit more arrogant."

"The child's health has always been poor, hasn't it?"

"Yes, congenital heart disease. Although it's not serious, one has to take good care of it."

Helen thought of something and said, "Go find the experts at home and abroad to see if it can be cured. It's almost the holiday season, so ask someone to send something to the child."

Owen was stunned for a moment, and then he said, "You mean..."

This was more than merely sending a gift.

For so many years, Helen had not treated Yvonne well, which made all the people in Ocpeace City think that Madison was the Mrs. of the Godfrey family. Now, it seemed like everything was going to change.
