The butler turned around and was about to leave. However, Alexander wouldn't let him go that easily.
He stood up and stopped him, "Wait."
"Mr. Alexander, is there anything else I can do for you?" The butler asked.
"Butler, you know what kind of temper I have. All these years, I've had great respect for you. Now that my father has his own worries, as his son, I have the responsibility to help him out. Thus, please just tell me what is going on," Alexander said determinedly. He wouldn't give up until the butler told him everything.
The butler knew his temper very well, so he sighed, "Mr. Alexander, I can only tell you that it is related to Miss Everleigh. I'm not really sure about the details. You'd better ask her about it."
Alexander was stunned. Everleigh?
How could it be?
She had always respected Saniogo. How could she possibly do something to hurt him?"
There must be some kind of misunderstanding.
Looking at Alexander's blank face, the butler immediately knew that he was thinking about something, so he turned around and got back to work.
The next day, when she arrived at the hospital, she saw Alexander waiting for her in her office.
"Alexander," she greeted.
"Everleigh, I'm here to ask you something," he said indifferently. There was no need for him to beat around the bush.
She smiled bitterly. She knew exactly why he was there. She pointed to a chair and said, "Have a seat."
He then sat down while she poured him a glass of water. "Everleigh, what is going on between you and my dad? Lately, he's been very unhappy. He didn't tell me when I asked him about it, and you didn't visit him either."
Her gaze darkened slightly. Without saying much, she directly placed a file of the investigation results in front of him.
"Take a look for yourself."
He was shocked. He picked it up and read it. The more he read, the more staggered he was.
He exclaimed in a stern voice, "That's impossible."
She looked at his reaction in silence.
"Everleigh, are you sure about this?" Alexander asked again with his eyes wide open.
"I've investigated three times. What do you think?" Everleigh raised her head and showed a serious look.
Alexander fell silent. He didn't know what to say.
However, he believed that his father didn't do it. When it came to treating siblings well, his father could definitely hold his head up high.
How would he do something to hurt them?
What's more, even people like Yeezoo and Luqman could remain in the Jenkins family.
How could Saniogo treat Welment that cruelly?
"Alexander, the reason I haven't visited Uncle Saniogo for such a long time is because of this. To be honest, I don't even want to believe that he really did it. However, with so much evidence and proof, how can I not believe it?" She added truthfully.
Instead of making things awkward when Everleigh met Saniogo, it was better for her not to meet him.
She had never-ending troubles and problems. She needed some time to calm down.
Alexander pressed his lips and didn't speak. The things that he initially wanted to say couldn't be said anymore.
"What about Elvir? He's been following up with this
matter all this while," he asked.
"He knew about it all along, but he chose to hide it from me. Tell me, how am I supposed to feel about it?"
Once again, he was left speechless.
"Everleigh, I know you might not believe me, but I want to tell you that my father is definitely not that kind of person," he sounded firm.
She lowered her head and didn't respond.
After Alexander left, he went straight to Elvir's office to look for him. Looking at the locked door, he knew that Elvir hadn't returned yet.
Then, he took out his mobile phone and called him.
It didn't take long for her to receive the message from Elvir. Her heart sank a little as she read it. Disappeared?
Why was everything so coincidental? Everleigh couldn't figure it out.
After finishing work, Christopher went over to her office. As he leaned back against the chair and wanted to take a rest, he saw that Everleigh was in a daze, thinking about something.
"Everleigh."
She didn't answer him; she was still lost in her thoughts.
He walked over to her and knocked on her desk. Finally, she came back to her senses. "Yes?"
"What are you thinking about?" He asked.
"Take a look at this," she handed him her mobile phone.
He looked at it and said indifferently, "When did it happen?"
"Elvir sent it to me just now. Christopher, do you think it's possible that the culprit behind the incident found out about our investigations and made these moves in secret? Otherwise, why did nothing happen for so many years, but when I started investigating..." Halfway through her sentence, Everleigh finally realized something.
Christopher had figured it out too.
After she took over the investigation, most of the people involved in the incident had either died or disappeared. The only possible explanation was that Saniogo had done it.
Thinking of it, her face turned even paler.
Her impression of him had worsened a little more.
"Don't worry, Everleigh. I'll check on it again,"
Christopher comforted her.
"Christopher, you're suspicious about it too, aren't you? You also believe that Saniogo didn't do it, right?" Everleigh asked.
His expression turned grave as he answered calmly, "Everleigh, it's hard to say. It may not be as it seems."
She smiled bitterly. If it wasn't as it seemed, then what was the truth?
