Said I didn't Love Him But I Lied

Chapter 107 That Was Her Fate "You are?" She asked.

"Can't you recognize my voice?" At the other end of the phone, even though the man's voice sounded young, it gave her a heavy feeling. It sounded as if it cfrom the abyss, suffocating her.

The voice was both familiar and unfamiliar to Josephine. She had heard it before, but she only heard it once a long tago. At that time, it was also the man who took the initiative to call her. He only said one sentence. "My brother needs a woman who will stand quietly behind him. You are a suitable choice. I am very satisfied." "Mr. Xavier?" Josephine hesitated to speak the nin her mind.

"Don't be so courteous. Soon, you will becthe legitimate Madam Josephine of the Godfrey family, who is also my sister-in-law. You can just callXavier." His polite words did not evoke even the slightest bit of enthusiasm. On the contrary, it sounded even colder than before.

The person on the other end of the line was Xavier, Theodore's younger brother, who was also the second son of the Godfrey family. Before Theodore took over the Godfrey Group, Xavier was the carefully educated heir by Mrs. Godfrey. If it wasn't for the accident seven years ago, he would be the president of the Godfrey Group now.

"Xavier," Josephine braced herself to change the appellation. She thought that she was good at interacting with the relatives of Theodore, but when she faced Xavier, she still felt powerless, even though it was just a phone call.

She added, "When Theodore went to visit you earlier, I wanted to go with him, but I heard that you're not in good health, so I didn't disturb you." "It's alright. I don't really like to see outsiders. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future." His cold and indifferent words made Josephine's greeting seem a bit unnecessary.

There were many rumors about Xavier in society, but they were all buried in the past seven years. People's memories were always very short, and the young man who had once been known as a business genius had long becunknown. The Godfrey family hardly mentioned Xavier, and the servants were no exception. Theodore would visit him from tto time, but Mrs. Godfrey acted as if she didn't have this son. Every tTheodore mentioned him, she would be unhappy. Josephine had sent someone to investigate in private, and the results of the investigation made her want to avoid this second son of the Godfrey family even more.

Depression, aggression, and self-harm; these were all diagnosed by the doctors. Xavier's residence was also far away from the downtown area. He had to change his caretakers several times a month, and many of them were seriously injured at his place, but the news was suppressed by the Godfrey family with money.

Thinking of this, the hairs on Josephine's body stood up on its end. She shivered and said stiffly, "Well, Xavier, why did you suddenly call me?" "We will meet at two o'clock tomorrow noon. I have something to talk to you about." Josephine froze for a moment. "Me... Alone?" "Yes, and you will not tell my brother." "That isn't quite appropriate, is it?" No matter what, Xavier was Theodore's younger brother. If Josephine, Theodore's fiancée, met Xavier alone behind his back, it would be bad if someone with ulterior motives were to spread the news. Xavier sneered. "It's not quite good for my brother to know about what happened seven years ago as well." Josephine's face changed.

Seven years ago? "I don't know what you're talking about," she gritted her teeth. "You do." Xavier didn't speak further. "I'll send you the tand place." "Hello?" Looking at the call that was hung up, Josephine's expression was extremely complicated. When she thought of the graduation party of the Foreign Language Department seven years ago, she felt anxious. She didn't do anything. She just heard sthings by chance, and she didn't care about it. What Everleigh encountered had nothing to do with her.

However, judging by Xavier's tone, he seemed to know everything that had happened seven years ago like the back of his hand. Josephine panicked.

It was already deep into the night.

In the bedroom on the second floor of the Godfrey Mansion, the sound of water in the bathroom stopped abruptly.

With a clatter, the door was pulled open by a wide palm. The man was wearing a bathrobe, and the tanned skin of his chest that was still dripping with water could be seen.

After taking a cold shower, all the mad desires were finally driven away, leaving only calmness.

Theodore sat by the bed and lit a cigarette. The wound on the back of his hand showed signs of infection after being soaked in the water. Every movement would affect his nerves, and the pain made him even more clear- headed. His phone was ringing by the bedside. It was from his assistant.

"Mr. Godfrey, the banquet of the Meyer family has just ended. I informed Mrs. Meyer that you were not feeling well and had gone back first. Mrs. Meyer also expressed her condolences." "Got it." "Mr. Godfrey, you should rest early." "Moses," Theodore said as he held his phone. His cold eyes were filled with a layer of frost.

"Is there anything else you needto do?" said Moses.

"Find out when they got married and how their lives abroad are." Moses was stunned for a moment. "Yes." Planning your weekend reading? Ensure you're on 00005sfor uninterrupted enjoyment. The next chapter is just a click away, exclusively available on our site. Happy reading!

Moses no longer needed to ask who he was supposed to investigate. Since Dr. Trevino appeared, them boss's abnormal behavior revolved around her. The reason why he was in a bad mood that night should be due to Dr. Trevino as well. Who would have thought that Mr. Christopher's wife was Dr. Trevino? Hanging up the phone, his cigarette was burnt to the end. His fingers were almost burned as he was in a daze. Theodore's brows twitched as he put out the cigarette in the ashtray.

Outside the French windows, the full moon hung high in the sky. The loneliness of the late night covered the hustle and bustle of the entire Ocpeace City. Even the nightclubs closed one after another, leaving only those 24- hour convenience shops with lights on.

Christopher put a glass of hot milk on the bedside table and patted Everleigh's arm familiarly. He said in a low voice, "Get up and drink the milk before you go to sleep."

Everleigh opened her eyes, looking sleepy and impatient. When she saw Christopher, she immediately closed her eyes again and even turned her back to him. She wanted to sleep. A fair and slender leg was exposed under the silk cover, showing that she completely ignored him. Christopher rolled his eyes speechlessly. He pulled the quilt over her, tucking her in. He huffed, "You really don't treatas a man..." "There's water and milk on the bedside table. Drink it yourself if you are thirsty." Christopher didn't bother to care about her anymore. He simply got up and walked out. When he reached the door, he paused and looked back at the bed. "He hasn't touched any woman for so many years. He is really infatuated with you. I couldn't do it if it were me." The figure on the bed didn't move at all, as if she had fallen asleep long ago. Christopher stopped at the door for half a second and then left.

Everleigh did not open her eyes until the light at the door had completely disappeared, and the door slammed shut with a light sound. She stared at the dark gray curtainsapsent-mindedly. What Christopher had just said echoed in her mind. Even though Christopher didn't tell her that Theodore lost control because he was drugged by Josephine, as a doctor, she could tell that something was wrong. In addition to anger and shame, she couldn't deny that she really felt a little guilty.
