Chapter 246
Madison covered her right cheek in disbelief.
Helen was so angry that her whole body was shaking. "I've spoiled you for so many years just because I thought that the Godfrey family had let you down. I turned a blind eye to all the troubles you've made. I didn't expect that you would do such a heartless thing!"
"Mom, I really didn't. I..."
No matter how many mouths Madison had, with the previous kidnapping of Yvonne's child, she could not explain it clearly anymore. She had completely lost Helen's trust.
But even so, she would never give up trying to defend herself.
It was a huge crime to instigate r*ping on others!
Madison gnashed her teeth in anger and glared at Everleigh. "What grudge do you have against me? How dare you use your own reputation to slander me like this?"
"I also want to ask you this question. What grudge do you have against me? I was just in love with your son. Why must you take revenge on me in such ways? If there is a chance, I really want to let you experience the same thing."
Everleigh's words were extremely calm, but they sent chills down everyone's spines.
"You..." Madison was so angry that she stamped her feet. She was going to rush up and fight.
While Christopher was standing in front of Everleigh, Theodore held Madison back. "Mom, that's enough!"
"It's not enough. You have been bewitched by this vixen that you believe her every word. I'm being blamed for such a huge crime, can't you see it? I've raised you for nothing!"
Madison couldn't hit Everleigh. Thus, she could only land her slaps on Theodore's body.
The relatives of the Godfrey family were also whispering behind him. The sound grew louder and louder.
Just in ten minutes, the amount of information was immense.
The eldest son of the Godfrey family had two seven-year-old children. The birth mother was the wife of the son of the Meyer family. It was obvious that Helen wanted to take the children and their mother back. She publicly exposed the fake marriage of the Meyer family. However, it happened that Mrs. Meyer confessed that she was r*ped back then, and the mastermind behind the scenes was Mrs. Godfrey...
The amount of information was so immense that it was almost difficult to digest. No matter which information was exposed, it would become the headline of the day's news. The stock market would definitely be affected.
Theodore was being beaten up, but he didn't forget to raise his voice and say, "Christopher, why don't you take her with you?"
Had she gotten what she wanted?
Before this night, all the upper-class circle in Ocpeace City would spread this joke. Since the Godfrey family and the Meyer family were very wealthy, no one would dare to say anything. Even if they did, they would only talk about the Godfrey family's misconduct.
Everleigh was the one who would suffer the most.
She exposed her dark history in front of so many people. Whether it was true sympathy or not, in the end, those rumors would tear her apart, and it would be even more dreadful and cruel than seven years ago.
Was this what she wanted? To make the situation develop beyond his control, to let him watch her suffer. He didn't even have a chance to make up for it.
"Madam Scott, who are you doing this for? With just one slap, do you think you can erase what had happened?" Christopher turned a deaf ear to Theodore's words and looked coldly at Helen. "You asked me why I'm qualified to be Everleigh's husband, then let me tell you. I've saved her life."
The air seemed to have become stagnant, and Everleigh's pale face showed some astonishment.
She didn't know what Christopher was going to say.
He rarely showed such a firm and serious look. He looked around at the crowd and said, "If I hadn't walked past the alley seven years ago, you all can imagine what would have happened."
Theodore's expression froze when he heard these words.
Helen asked with a hint of hope in her tone, "Do you mean that she didn't really get r*ped in the end?"
"Do you think that just because I hurried over in time, this matter should be taken lightly?" Christopher sneered and said sarcastically, "Yes, the children are Theodore's, but what the Godfrey family had done back then decided that these two children would never have anything to do with them ever again. Everleigh and I will send the mastermind behind the incident to prison personally, and they will sit in prison forever."
"Sit in prison forever." These words were deliberately emphasized in a particularly strong tone, and spoken word by word.
As he said this, Christopher's gaze fell on Madison.
"Who are you looking at? Who are you sending to jail?" Madison was so angry that she lost her wits. She completely disregarded her status. However, Theodore was holding her back as she stomped on the ground and pointed at Everleigh and Christopher, cursing them loudly.
"Enough! That's enough!" Helen shouted at her, but it didn't work. The color on her face was fading away at a speed that could be seen with the naked eye.
Everleigh was still in a daze. The warmth from Christopher's hand made her come to her senses. When she looked up, she saw his reassuring eyes, as if to tell her, "Don't be afraid, I'm here for you."
Under such a situation, where she had already ruined everything, how could he still think of such a way to help her? It only meant that he was truly thinking for her.
Whispers could be heard.
"The Meyer family's son is truly lovesick. He's even willing to take two illegitimate children with him."
"That's right. Besides, such a terrible thing happened to her. As she said, it was also done by multiple people. How pitiful."
"That's right. What's the point of saying so much? It's something that happened seven years ago. Where's the evidence?"
"Whether there is evidence or not, it's already a matter of the past." Yvonne glanced at the gossiping women around her and reminded them, "Isn't the attitude of Mr. Meyer the most important?"
The few women who were running their mouths were all flustered. However, the husbands beside them were the first to react. They glared at their wives and yelled at them to shut up.
All the people present were sensible. Whether Christopher's words were true or false, they all had their own opinions.
How could it be such a coincidence that Christopher met Everleigh when she encountered that kind of thing? Even if he did, it was another matter whether he could stop them in time or not.
However, since he said so, it was obvious that the Meyer family didn't care about these things. No matter what happened, Everleigh would always be the Madam of the Meyer family. Hence, when these people were to spread it out in the future, they had to take the Meyer family's reputation into consideration. This was Christopher's real intention.
Sometimes, power was more important than the truth. Power could not change the truth, but it could cover it up.
"Madam... Madam Scott, what's wrong?"
In the chaos, Helen's butler's voice was heard by everyone.
Under the watchful eyes of the public, Helen, who was still in good spirits the previous second, had fallen down. Her chest heaved violently, and she looked like she couldn't breathe.
"Call... Call an ambulance, quickly."
"Madam Scott fainted. Madam Madison, stop cursing!"
"Mom!"
Under the chaos, due to her professionalism, Everleigh wanted to go and check on her out of habit.
However, Christopher grabbed her and said, "Do you even know what's happening? How can you afford to care at this point of time?"
Hearing that, Everleigh's heart skipped a beat.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.
