Chapter 681
Everleigh was very helpless. Fortunately, the place was large enough, otherwise it really couldn't fit so many cars.
When the two got out of the car, they caught everyone's attention.
Many people knew Theodore. As for Everleigh, she had appeared once at a Jenkins family party, but she hadn't been seen since.
However, the two looked like a perfect match when they stood together. They were a handsome man and a beautiful woman. They matched each other very well.
The two walked into the hall. Alexander and Cecil were standing in the doorway. When they saw them coming, they walked over quickly and said, "You are finally here. Come and greet the guests."
Everleigh looked at Cecil in her dark blue gown, then at Alexander's outfit. They were a matching pair, too.
Were they trying to tell everyone that the Hayes family was going to join with the Jenkins family in marriage?
"Sorry, I'm also a guest," Everleigh cleared her throat and said seriously.
Cecil's face changed gradually. "You're not from the Jenkins family, are you?"
"Not anymore. I'm from the Godfrey family." After saying that, Everleigh put her arm around Theodore's shoulders.
He also cooperated by placing her head on his shoulder.
Alexander smiled and said, "Okay, go on in. Alastair and Adrienne are inside."
"Thank you." Everleigh raised her eyebrows at Cecil and couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Cecil couldn't help but glare at Alexander. "What's wrong with you? Why didn't you help me out?"
"Why were you making fun of her?" He stared at her with doting eyes.
She turned her head away and said nothing. However, the smile on her face didn't fade as the guests arrived one by one.
Alexander knew she was a sensible person and didn't sweat the small things.
Everleigh and Theodore found their children.
Saniogo held their hands separately and was talking to others of his age. He never stopped smiling. Those who did not know the truth might have thought that these two children were his grandchildren.
"Grand-Uncle, I want to eat that cake." Adrienne had had her eyes on the cake for quite a long time. If it wasn't for the fact that Saniogo kept talking to others, she would have gone to take it.
"Okay, I'll get it for you now."
Saniogo's attitude stunned the other business partners. Who would have thought that this big shot would do such a thing for a child?
Everleigh wanted to go pick up her daughter because she didn't want the child to disturb others.
"Don't go. Uncle is willing to do it himself." Theodore held her back. How could he not understand her motives?
No one could control what Saniogo wanted to do. He was silently announcing that everything in the Jenkins family had been handed over to Alexander, and he wanted to retire.
As expected, Saniogo handed Adrienne a plate of cake and also helped her wipe her mouth. It was obvious that he just didn't want to talk to those people too much.
"Mr. Godfrey, when did you arrive?" Suddenly, a voice interrupted their conversation.
Everleigh turned her head to look at the person in front of them. It was none other than Theodore's business partner, so it wasn't convenient for her to stay here.
Just as she was about to turn and leave, she was pulled back by Theodore.
"My wife and I just arrived not long ago."
When she heard these words, there was some confusion in her eyes, but Theodore's eyes were filled with happiness.
lt was a blessing to be able to introduce your wife in an open and honest manner.
On the other hand, Christopher and Erine had already arrived, and Cecil told them to go find Everleigh. It was hard to guarantee that there wouldn't be acquaintances at such a birthday party, and it wouldn't be convenient to chat with them then.
When they went over, they happened to see Missha chatting with other ladies, including Yeezoo's wife.
There was a gleam in Christopher's eyes and he went to Everleigh.
"Everleigh, come over here," he shouted.
She noticed that Theodore was having a good conversation with the others, so she walked over to Christopher.
"What's going on?"NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.
"Look over there." Christopher pointed to Cynthia on the other side. He had just noticed that she had been staring at Everleigh. The jealousy in her eyes could be seen clearly.
Everleigh's eyes slightly sank as she said, "She looks at me like that all the time. I got used to it."
"The eyes don't matter. It's fine as long as they're not putting anything into action," Christopher said meaningfully.
Everleigh's lips curled into a smile and she couldn't help but say, "Then, let's test that theory."
There seemed to be some other meaning in her words. Could it be that there were other actions?
At this time, Jaseh and Winifred arrived. They were considered in-laws, so there was no reason for them not to be present at such an occasion.
Everyone gathered together and it was very lively.
This made Cynthia very uncomfortable. The Jenkins family banquet turned into a gathering for them.
This really put Everleigh in the spotlight, but she could only stand aside and watch her in silence.
For so many years, Cynthia had been the princess of the Jenkins family, but now she was being ignored by others. How could she not be upset?
"I'm going to the bathroom. You can talk amongst yourselves for a while." Erine stood up, ready to leave.
"Me too." Everleigh was worried that Erine was unfamiliar with the environment here and she would be scared.
"No, you guys can have a nice talk. I'll go and ask the waiter." Erine was already familiar with the place and left without saying anything else.
Everleigh glanced at Christopher. "Why don't you go with her?"
"She won't like me going with her. You don't have to worry about that." It wasn't that he didn't want to go, but Erine was shy.
Everleigh took a glance at Erine, who walked into the bathroom.
However, she didn't expect Erine to run into Cynthia talking to someone else.
"Do you guarantee this?" "Of course.
Don't worry, it won't happen right away."
Erine's heart trembled. She was very clear about what was going on.
She walked out only after she heard that the people outside had left.
Erine did not go back directly, but instead observed what Cynthia was planning. It would be bad if something really happened.
She clearly saw that Cynthia had added something to the red wine. She didn't know what it was, but she guessed that it wasn't anything good.
Cynthia asked the waiter to take the wine away and Erine took the opportunity to walk over.
"Wait, I'll have one."
"Sure." The waiter was stunned, but he handed the glass over obediently.
Erine went to Cynthia's side after taking the glass and switched the wine with hers when she was not paying attention.
She witnessed Cynthia drinking that wine before she went back to Everleigh.
Everleigh was taking a sip of red wine when she found that Erine had returned. "You're back. Come and sit down."
"Okay." Erine sat next to Christopher with a slightly grim expression on her face.
He noticed that. "What happened? You don't look good."
After a moment's hesitation, Erine whispered into his ear. She had never done this before, but if Everleigh drank it, the consequences would be unthinkable.
"You did a good job," he said with great approval. Some people needed to be taught a lesson so they wouldn't dare to bully others.
"Really? I'm a bit scared."
"Don't be afraid. I'm here." He wasn't worried.
