Said I didn’t Love Him But I Lied

Theodore ran over, trying to stop her. However, all he could do was watch helplessly as she jumped off the cliff.

Everleigh burst into tears. “Aunt Missha…”

“Missha.” Saniogo was also in tears. He shouted at the foot of the mountain, but all he got was an echo.

No one remembered how they lived through the night. Alexander called the authorities to find Missha’s body.

After an hour, her body was found. Everleigh and Saniogo were devastated to see the motionless body.

“Aunt Missha.”

“Carry it back.” Saniogo waved his hand. His eyes were slightly red, but he refused to let his tears fall.

Alexander nodded and ordered the men to take Missha back.

The news of her death spread around Ocpeace City. Everyone knew that she was the eldest daughter of the Jenkins family and she was someone capable who could grow her business abroad.

No one expected that she would die so suddenly.

Everleigh and Theodore came to her grave and looked at the picture of her that had a bright smile.

Her eyes were swollen as she had cried a lot. She regretted the words she said that day.

Saniogo looked into her remorseful eyes and said, “Everleigh, don’t blame yourself. She knew that once things were exposed, this would happen. She made her decision.”

She was in a daze. When she looked at Saniogo, she could not understand.

When did he start…

“Go home. A dead person can’t come back to life. No matter how bad it is, we have to accept reality,” he said in a low voice.

Perhaps, he had already let it go.

He was used to such events in life.

“Uncle, you…”

He waved his hand, indicating that she should stop talking. Then, he turned around and left.

“Everleigh, Dad is sad, but he will be the first to let it go as well.”

“Really?” Everleigh asked in disbelief.

Alexander smiled wryly. “Yes, he will.”

The two looked at each other and did not say anything else. Then, Cecil walked over from the other side.

She grabbed Alexander’s hand and said, “I’ve arranged everything. Let’s go.”

“Everleigh, let’s go. Alastair and Adrienne are waiting for you.” Theodore put his arm around her shoulder and comforted her.

She smiled lightly, nodded, and left with him.

Three days later, Elvir came back from abroad. The first thing he did was to come to the Trevino family home.

Everleigh took a few days off. Thus, she was resting at home.

Seeing Elvir’s face covered with scars and him limping as he walked in, she felt even more sad. “I’m sorry.”

“It’s fine. Don’t worry about my leg. I will be fine after a while.” He knew that she was blaming herself for whatever happened. That was a risk that he had to bear with the job. Furthermore, it was good enough that he survived.

He would not ask for more.

“I came to tell you something.”

She knew what he wanted to say. “I know what’s going on.”

“No, there is one thing you don’t know. You know that Missha killed your father, but you don’t know why she killed him,” he responded seriously.

She thought about it carefully and it seemed to be true.C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

“Take a look at this.”

She picked up the document and looked at it, only to find that it was a paternity test.

“What’s this?”

“Missha is not a child of the Jenkins family, but the daughter of a friend of Master Jenkins. They adopted her because they didn’t want her to be bullied,” he explained word by word.

It was like a thunderbolt out of a clear sky for her.

What was happening?

This was straight out of a drama.

Everleigh was completely lost.

Elvir continued, “I found out during my investigation. You can ask your uncle about this. He knows it but has never told anyone. Missha liked your father and could not accept that your parents were together. That was the reason why she did something to the plane. Your mother was supposed to fly abroad on her own, but your father surprised her and got on the plane. As a result, both of them died.”

She listened and did not know how to react.

Both of them died?

She was dumbfounded at this whole plot.

“What happened after that?”

“Later, Missha was devastated because she caused this. She wanted to make up for it after. When the family members objected to the idea of her going abroad, she insisted on going, but that was how Jenkins Group became what it is now. She had to suffer a lot which was possibly why she went on the wrong path.”

She did not understand what it meant to be on the wrong path.

He raised his head and looked puzzled. He added, “She smuggled jewelry and sent Wilson to do it the last time. That was why she agreed to arrange a plastic surgery for him. However, Wilson’s selfishness put her in trouble. She wanted to retrieve the jewelry but Theodore found out, which caused this.”

Everleigh was even more surprised. She did not expect Missha to be involved in smuggling jewelry.

She really underestimated her aunt.

She thought of Missha’s last words, about how she did not want to have anything to do with Welment in her next life.

So that was what happened.

After settling Elvir down, Everleigh went to find Saniogo. She had a feeling that he knew something.

He had guessed that she would come over. Thus, he had already ordered his men to prepare things for her.

“Uncle, did you know I was coming?”

“Elvir came back. Of course you’ll come to find me next. If there’s anything you want to ask, just say it.” Saniogo picked up the teacup on the table and asked.

She was silent for a moment. “Did you know about Aunt Missha’s feelings for my father?”

“Ever since she was young, she was the closest to your father. I thought they were just close siblings, but I slowly discovered how she looked at him differently. I told your grandpa to find Welment a wife. Your father fell in love with your mother at first sight. They got married soon after. Later, I noticed how Missha was trying to make things hard for your mother. I gave her advice but she was stubborn. When your parents died, she realized that she was wrong.”

Hearing his words, she had mixed feelings in her heart.

“Then… Did you know about Aunt Missha not being a Jenkins?”

“Yes, I heard from your grandfather when I took over the company. However, at that time, I thought that since we were already a family, I didn’t think there was a problem with us not being biologically related. I did not expect her to develop feelings for Welment.” Saniogo’s eyes were dim, as if he said something that should not be said.

Everleigh kept quiet as well. Since that was the case, there was no point in asking further questions.

In the evening, Theodore came to pick her up. He brought up the wedding all of a sudden.

She was a little surprised. Why did he bring this up?
