Christopher glared at Cecil but remained silent. What he had to do now was to speak to Erine in person. Thinking of this, he could not sit still anymore. He got up quickly and left. He needed to have a talk with her.
He wouldn't believe that he wouldn't be able to make a woman feel touched since he had been so experienced in the field for a long time.
The four of them looked at his retreating figure and shook their heads helplessly. There was only a little hope left.
Everleigh went home to rest after work. A strong man wouldn't even stand working so hard during the day, let alone her.
In the Trevino family's living room, only Alastair and Leon were present. They both had cold expressions on their faces and seemed very distressed.
"Why are there only the two of you?"
"Grandpa took the others to dinner. Uncle Leon and I came back early," Alastair explained. Seeing his mother's exhaustion, he didn't want to say too much.
She went over and sat down on the sofa. She picked up the document on the table and took a glance at it. She saw the words on it clearly.
Leon and Alastair looked at each other; their expressions looked terrible.
"This is the project that'll lose money, right?" She asked suddenly.
Leon and Alastair were both shocked. Didn't she not know anything about business? How could she know it at a glance?
"How did you know that?" Leon asked, surprised.
"Dad took a million dollars from me before. He knew that this project was not good and was worried that he wouldn't have enough capital. Otherwise, he wouldn't have asked me. Leon, have you investigated this matter?" She asked in a low voice. She really didn't know about business, but Theodore did.
It was because he had told her all of this before that she dared to mention it.
Listening to her words, he lowered his eyes and his face was full of bitterness. "I know."
"Then you can take care of it yourself. Alastair will not participate in this matter. He is still powerless after all."
Leon nodded. Of course he understood her intention. At the end of the day, Alastair was still a child. If there was anything, they should just go
after him.
Alastair understood and he did not say anything. Truthfully, he also had responsibility for this project. He was the one to propose it, otherwise, he would not...
"Mommy, I'll deal with it with Uncle Leon. I'm a part of this project too."
Leon listened to Alastair's words and was very moved. He pretended to speak in a crying tone, "Alastair, you are so worth all my love. What you said really touched me, but I still want to say that I will deal with this matter by myself."
Alastair and Everleigh looked at him and knew that he said this deliberately. After all, it happened all because of him. Since he insisted on solving the problem by himself, then they should just let him be.
She was exhausted, so she went back to her room to take a bath. It didn't take long for her to fall asleep on the bed. When she went downstairs in the morning, she saw Theodore sitting on the sofa, talking to her father about who knows what.
She was a little surprised, "Why did you come so early?"
"I'm here to send you to work," Theodore said as he heard her voice.
She was really tired. She wanted to ask the driver to send her to the hospital. Now that he was here, she wouldn't need the driver anymore.
"Well, then Dad, we'll be leaving first. Call me if there's anything you need," Theodore turned to look at Abraham.
Abraham nodded; his face remained expressionless.
When Everleigh got in the car, she couldn't help but ask, "What did you say to my father?"
"What I told you last time. Leon has already taken care of it so I asked Dad to stop interfering," Theodore answered in a low voice.
Elvir shook his head and said, "You don't have to do that. I'll go with you."
Hearing this, Everleigh turned to look at him and said with a smile, "You're worried about my uncle, aren't you?"
"Miss Trevino, you shouldn't expose me like that." He glared at her unhappily. He also wanted to know the truth about this matter. It was related to Saniogo's reputation after all.
He didn't want him to be threatened.
"Then it's decided. We'll go there tomorrow. You can go back and have a good rest and we'll pick you up tomorrow." She couldn't wait, as this was related to her parents.
He nodded in agreement.
After Everleigh arrived at the hospital, she told Christopher about this matter. His people were also sent to investigate so he had the right to know the truth.
He frowned and remained silent, as if he was thinking about something.
"What's in your mind?"
"I'm just wondering why this guy suddenly changed his mind. My men have been looking for him for a long time, but they haven't found him yet." It's not that he suspected Elvir, but it was an important matter after all.
The murderer was also a piece of the puzzle.
She understood what he meant and said helplessly, "It's been so many years and we haven't found many clues. He'd better give us some solid evidence so that we don't take detours."
He did not reply. In fact, he agreed with her words. Whether it was true or not, he would know it if he went there.
The next day, Theodore drove over early in the morning.
