When Cecil noticed her suspicious and worried expression, she continued, "The outskirts of Ocpeace City have also been affected, especially the women's prison, which collapsed. Diana escaped."
Everleigh finally understood why Cecil had that expression. Diana had escaped.
That meant that she would definitely seek revenge on the Hayes family.
Cecil shook her head. "She was not the only one who escaped. There were a few more who haven't been caught. Thaud has sent his people to investigate it, but they still had no clue about where she had escaped to."
After saying that, she was even more distressed. She would not feel at ease until Diana was caught. The last incident had made them worry enough. If it happened again, it would make them suffer more from their anxiety.
"Didn't you tell Alexander?" Everleigh looked grim because this matter was difficult to deal with.
Cecil shook her head and said helplessly, "How could I? I almost killed him last time. I didn't have the nerve to tell him."
Everleigh looked down and said nothing. In fact, even if Cecil told him, he would not reprimand her.
After all, he was not an unreasonable person. Besides, he hoped that Cecil could face it together with him, rather than hide this matter from him.
"Then I'll ask Theodore's men to search as well," Everleigh said in a low voice. Although the members of the Hayes family were capable, they couldn't do it in a high- profile way. The more people who joined the search, the better.
"Thank you, Everleigh." Cecil knew that she would help.
Everleigh was very helpless when she saw her triumphant look. "Knock it off. You were just waiting for me here, aren't you?"
"Don't say that. Even if I didn't tell you, you would still help me secretly when you find out about this. I just made it clear. Is it necessary to make a fuss about it?" Cecil understood her friend very well as if she was Everleigh herself.
Although they would argue, they still cared about each other.
This was also the reason why the less time they spent with each other, the deeper their friendship went.
The two of them chatted for a long time before leaving the coffee shop. Everleigh headed straight for Theodore's office because his time in the disaster zone had caused his work to pile up quite a bit.
This problem couldn't be solved in a few days. He didn't even know that she had come over.
It was only when he took a rest that he saw her lying on the sofa.
He was surprised. "When did you come over?"
"I've been here for an hour. Weren't you working? I didn't bother you when I saw you were busy." If he hadn't spoken, she would have fallen asleep.
The days of being languid were really good. She could sleep whenever she wanted to and do whatever she wished.
He stood up with a smile. He immediately draped his coat over her shoulders.
"It's getting cold. Put it on for your nap. When I've finished my work, I'll take you out for dinner."
She nodded, turned around, and fell asleep.
It was really good to sleep in a quiet environment.
Later, she was awakened, and she followed Theodore for dinner.
In the restaurant, he ordered all the delicious food for her, as if afraid she wouldn't eat her fill.
She was surprised, "What are you doing?"
"I'm worried that you are not eating well. Leon seems to be addicted to cooking, but his cooking skills are still bad." He had experienced it in the morning. He wouldn't say that it was bad. It was just plain and not delicious.
She agreed, "You're right. I want to eat more. I don't want to taste the food by Leon when I go back."
However, they could perceive Leon's sincerity for Selena, and she was also being considerate of him. She knew that he had a hard time cooking, so she would often help him out in the kitchen.
