Said I didn’t Love Him But I Lied

The photos were captured in a dim alley. It revolved around a half-naked woman. She was in a mess as she leaned against a red rubbish bin. Her eyes were not focused and she was covered in dirt.

A few people near the front picked up the photos and the hall exploded.

“What is this?”

“Is this Everleigh?”

“Oh my god, when did this happen? There’s more than one guy. Was Everleigh…?”

…

“Is that child…”

Before the relatives could say ‘a r*pist’s child’, Everleigh crouched down and covered Adrienne’s ears hurriedly. She held Adrienne in her arms and was unwilling to let her daughter see or hear anything.

Everleigh was trembling and her knees almost gave way. She lowered her head desperately and avoided everyone’s gaze. She was unwilling to let anyone compare the woman in the photos to her.

As soon as she glanced at the photo, she immediately knew that it was from that rainy night seven years ago.

She remembered everything clearly. When she woke up the next morning, she was in a dirty alley. The stinking red trash can, the dead-end alley with planks and glass, a muddy puddle and she was in a mess…

Although her memory was hazy, everything around her suggested what she experienced the previous night.

The thunderstorm seven years ago was replaying in her head. The puddle reflected figures that were approaching her. Their lecherous laughter rang in her ears continuously.

Her mind went blank and her ears were buzzing.

“Everleigh, what’s going on?”

Selena’s surprised voice rang behind Everleight. Selena had no idea about the photos. She asked someone to pick up the twins to embarrass Everleigh. Yet, the matter escalated and it turned out for the worse. The Trevino family was humiliated.

Abraham’s face was dark. The butler immediately ordered his men to clean up and retrieved all the photos.

However, so many people saw them and it was impossible to shut their mouths.

The crowd was gossiping. Selena was embarrassed and frustrated.Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

“Everleigh, go on! What have you done?” Selena shouted.

“Miss, you should explain,” the butler advised.

“Everleigh, are you trying to ruin our family?”

“You shouldn’t have come back! You even had a fatherless child!”

“How could you be so shameless? Do you want to annoy Dad?”

Concurrently, Everleigh held Adrienne in her arms. She buried her pale face in Adrienne’s shoulder and dared not look up. All the criticisms rang in her ears.

However, her head was replaying the phone call she received seven years ago. “If you ever come back, the whole world will know what happened on that rainy night. I’ll keep an eye on you.”

“I’ll keep an eye on you.” Those remarks echoed in her mind.

That was the second incident since she returned to the country. She was being watched. If she stayed, there would be countless incidents until they destroyed her.

Who could it be? Who could it be?

She was helpless, afraid and embarrassed. Countless emotions crushed her. Her vision blurred. She felt like she was in the depths of an abyss. Countless people were throwing rocks at her. They were trying to drown her and bury her alive.

“Adrienne, why did you run? Daddy and I couldn’t catch up.”

A sweet voice suddenly rang in the noisy hall.

Everyone followed the direction of the voice. Immediately, they spotted a tall man. He was dressed in a tailored suit. The cutting and materials of the suit made his legs look very long and straight.

“Who is that?”

“I don’t know him. I’ve never seen him before.”

The man’s eyes were cold. His cold demeanor made others hold their breath. The man was holding a seven-year-old boy. The boy was handsome and his big eyes were very composed.

The boy was the one who spoke.

Selena’s face lit up instantly when she noticed the man. “Mr. Godfrey.”

She met Theodore once at the collaboration dinner. Although she knew that he would rarely attend parties, she was hopeful and still sent him an invitation. It never occurred to her that he would attend.

Theodore did not even spare Selena a glance. After entering the hall, his gaze was fixated on the trembling figure that was hugging the little girl.

Everleigh raised her head blankly and revealed her miserable face. She stared at Theodore in a daze. Her hair was a mess and she looked like a clown. The crowd surrounded her like they were at a circus.

Theodore was pained when he saw her.

He should resent her.
