Everleigh nodded. Of course, she would not go there.
However... It was a little strange. Why hadn't Luqman and the others come over? Logically speaking, there was no reason for them not to attend Cynthia's funeral.
"Why wasn't Luqman there?"
"Haven't you heard?"
"What?" Everleigh asked in confusion.
Theodore kept quiet for a moment before saying, "Before, when you were unconscious, something happened to Luqman. He was beaten up overseas and is still lying in the hospital, but he's abroad. Alexander doesn't want your uncle to know, so he didn't tell him."
She was surprised to hear that. She finally understood why she did not see him during Christmas.
"How is he doing now?"
"I heard that he's much better. We don't know the details. After all, we did not see him in person," he answered truthfully.
She felt that the people of the Jenkins family were really strange. Were they really a family? What about the good times they spent together as children?
How did they become like this?
"Forget it. Alexander doesn't want your uncle to be worried. Besides, something happened to me at that time as well."
Saniogo's life had been tough. His children were fine, but his brothers were troublesome.
It was the day of Cynthia's burial. Everleigh did not want to provoke Yeezoo, so she decided not to go.
It ended up with people saying that she did not attend because she felt guilty.
Alexander really wanted to laugh when he heard this. He could not help but retort, "Uncle, what you said is contradicting. When Everleigh came the last time, all of you said that she was crying crocodile tears. Now that she isn't here today, you accuse her of feeling guilty. Aunt Melissa, tell me, what do you want Everleigh to do?"
His voice was not loud, but everyone heard it clearly. Yeezoo and Melissa looked at each other and did not speak again.
The others looked at them curiously. Everyone there knew that they would find fault no matter what happened. This was just human nature.
Saniogo was dressed in a black suit. He had a complicated look on his face when he stared at Yeezoo and Melissa.
The reason why Everleigh did not attend the burial was because she did not want to argue with them. However, they were criticizing her instead.
It was unreasonable.
"Yeezoo, Melissa, everything has been settled. Let's go back," Missha said in a low voice.
It would be embarrassing for the Jenkins family if this continued on.
Melissa looked at Missha and there was a flash of unease in her eyes. Then, she stopped talking.
What happened to Cynthia had come to an end.
A few days later, Everleigh and Theodore went to see Melissa. Logically speaking, they should not have come over, but the results of Theodore's investigation was that she indeed knew what had happened in the past.
Hence, they had to come over.
When Everleigh appeared, only Melissa was at home. She was already missing Cynthia, but now...
"What are you doing here?" Melissa was surprised by Everleigh's sudden appearance, but her eyes were filled with sarcasm.
"I'm here to ask you some questions, of course,"
Everleigh responded with a smile, but the look in her eyes was cold as ice.
Melissa sat on the sofa with a cold expression on her face. "Do you think you're qualified to ask me questions?"
"Of course I am qualified. Didn't you say that I should have died in that plane? Are you denying it now?"
