After Everleigh finished eating, she asked Hilda to clean up the guest room. Having had too much to drink, Alexander had become chatty, no longer retaining his former debonair character.
"Mr. Trevino, you'd better get a bigger house. Otherwise, if we come here, we won't have a room to stay."
Abraham laughed, "Sure, sure, in this case, I should change to a bigger one." He had had such a plan before, but then he shelved it because Everleigh had gone abroad and the house seemed more empty.
Now that everyone was together, it was high time to move to a bigger house.
The ladies helped their boyfriends to rest. On the other hand, Christopher insisted on staying and talking with Theodore.
The ladies couldn't resist, so they left the two men to chat with each other. The women then went downstairs to play cards.
Upon hearing the sound coming from downstairs, Theodore and Christopher opened their eyes.
"Go ahead, what do you want from me?" Theodore's face was red and his eyes were bloodshot. However, his tone remained cold as usual
Christopher sat up. He had to give it to him, Theodore was really perceptive. "Why else would I be looking for you? Lincoln just sent a message. Something is happening in Haviden City and he wants us to go there. I think it's best if Everleigh stays behind this time."
"Do you know who it is?"
"The surname's Godfrey, but Lincoln didn't go into detail." Christopher burped when he finished speaking, his breath reeking of alcohol.
When Theodore heard the surname Godfrey, his first thought was of Helen.
That day at the villa, he'd really seen Helen's figure. It was Everleigh who'd said his grandmother had died, and he'd seen how Helen had died.
"When do we go over?"
"Tomorrow. I'll go there with you then," Christopher said in a low voice. He thought about it and decided to go there himself.
Otherwise, Lincoln would not have much to say over there.
"Okay. Keep this from Everleigh." Theodore didn't want her to worry about him.
"I don't want her to know either. After all, this matter is still dangerous." Christopher did not know who the other party was and wanted to keep this matter under control.
Theodore shared his thoughts.
The next day, the group sat down for lunch. Theodore had to go out of town to handle his business, so he told Everleigh to take care of herself.
"Okay, will you drive there yourself?"
"Mm, Moses hasn't returned yet," he replied in a deep voice.
She didn't say anything, as it concerned his work.
Theodore and Christopher left together, but they didn't say anything along the way. Everleigh wondered why Christopher would ask for time off work for no reason.
Hence, she went to ask Erine, to which Erine replied that Felicia had asked him to do something and he would come back soon.
Everleigh realized that this was a Meyer family matter, so she didn't probe into it.
Theodore and Christopher arrived in Haviden City. Christopher looked at Lincoln. "How is it? Did Derick come out?"
"Now, this is a real bummer. This guy seems to be doing it on purpose. He didn't come out at all." Lincoln was worried that something might have happened to the other guy. He wanted to take a look, but Derick didn't come out at all this time.
"It's good that he's still here. Let's go in and pay him a visit," Christopher said.
A group of visitors came to the villa where there were many people milling about. As the people in the villa watched the newcomers, they all assumed vigilant expressions. "What are you doing?"
"Sir, we don't mean anything else, we just want to visit the owner of this place."
"Our master is not seeing anyone. Please see yourself out."
"Wait, we want to know what your master's last name is."
"Master's last name is Hughes. Sir, you have overstayed your welcome and we've done you the honor of not throwing you out. Please read the room," the butler stood in the middle and spoke harshly.
