Ch. 2581..2590

Chapter 2581 That was the difference in everybody's character.

Eevonne looked like a ferocious person who loved to quarrel with others. She seemed like she would never conform with the group, and she was even said to be a psycho. However, deep down, Eevonne was an incredibly soft and weak person who did not know what to do. That was what led her to be continuously passive and end up being looked down upon by others. On top of that, just like what she had said, she had indeed once been vain.

However, Sabrina was different. Sabrina's circumstance back then was actually a hundred times harder than Eevonne's.

However, she was incredibly determined deep down. She could clearly recognize that had not done anything wrong. As long as did not do anything wrong, she would never compromise, and would never submit to anyone. However, Sabrina never argued with anybody. Sabrina was able to endure everything. She was able to use her silent resistance to subdue anybody around her.

Eevonne, however, did not have the charm to subdue others like that. When others talk about her mistakes, she would be swayed. However, how many people like Sabrina could there be in this world? There was only one in the entire South City, who was Sabrina herself. Only Sabrina could live her life in a proud and unyielding manner in that kind of environment.

There were plenty of people in this world, and the vast majority of them were weak. Eevonne, for example, was one of them.

However, even if she had millions of flaws and was not that likable, she was good-natured. Also, she was serious in her work.

Those were already enough.

If her boss had not noticed that she was good-natured and serious in her work, how could he possibly keep her in the company for three years? Her boss, like many other bosses in the world, was no fool.

Kingston let out a deep sigh and said to her, "Eevonne, after we've been discharged and after my things over here had been taken care of, I'll take you to meet that friend of mine. She is a person who had once been in a situation that was ten times worse than yours. After you've met her, you may find your emotional support."

"What does she do for a living?" Eevonne asked curiously.

"She's an architectural designer," said Kingston.

"I see. You're working under her, aren't you?" Eevonne asked again.

From his appearance, Eevonne felt that Kingston looked like a contractor. In fact, she still had no idea what exactly Kington did for a living.

Kingston thought about it, and then he nodded. "Yes."

"Mm-hmm. Alright. I wonder if an architectural designer like her would be willing to be my friend," she said with low self-esteem.

Kingston hugged her. "Eevonne, you have to be confident, understand? Even if she is not willing to be your friend, so what?

Don’t care about her then. You don't owe anybody anything. You're not mooching off her anyway, so it doesn't matter! You certainly have to be fine with it! You are you! You're unique."

Eevonne immediately laughed miserably. "Kingston, do you really think of me like that? Гт unique? Don't you think that I am so horrible, so useless, and hot-tempered?"

Kingston looked at her seriously. "Of course not! You do have merits. You said so yourself that you're very intelligent in terms of acceptance and learning, you pick things up very quickly, and you're very serious when you're working. These are all your merits.

"Besides, you had already been working in that company for so many years. You should have already accumulated a lot of experience, right?

"Even if you had already resigned, you should be able to find a decent job and you'll no longer need to fake a diploma anymore, right? Oh, yes, what kind of job did you get after that?"

"After that, I...," Eevonne stammered.

Kingston could not help but ask, "what happened after that?"

Eevonne looked up at Kingston with great effort and firmness. " Kingston, I have no intention to borrow money from you. Don't worry, I won't borrow money from you! After that, I...owe people a lot of money."

Kingston was speechless.

Chapter 2582 Kingston laughed a little awkwardly. "How...how did our topic...get to this point where money is involved?"

He had a kind of illusion for a moment. Could the girl in front of his eyes be a professional scammer and an expert at that? All the things that she told him with such deep feelings while crying inconsolably were actually just a story. It was just for the sake of tricking him into pitying her, trusting her, and protecting her.

Could it be that she was trying to cheat him out of his money in the end? Therefore, when she said that she would not borrow money from him, she was actually just playing hard to get.

Thinking of that, Kingston could not help but laugh. In that day in age, scammers truly were appearing everywhere continuously without any end. There were all kinds of them and they had all kinds of tricks. If that girl in front of him was truly like that, then would Kingston not have been like the pig that was being led to the slaughter?

'Haha! That's interesting.' Just a moment of awkwardness later, Kingston returned to being calm as he looked at Eevonne. He wanted to see what kind of tricks the girl would use next.

Eevone smiled sadly. "I quit my job so abruptly. In fact, I was instantly kicked out of the company where I had worked for three years in an incredibly wretched manner. At that time, I only had around four hundred dollars left to my name, which was only enough for me to spend half a month at best. I still had to take the bus every day to submit my resume and search for a new job. I had to spend tens of dollars every day searching for a job. My paycheck that month still had to be sent to my money for her treatment. You may tell me that since I had already lost my job, my final payment shouldn't be sent home anymore. However, you have no idea what my family's situation was, Kingston. My father is an honest and simple man. Not only is he honest, but he is not a hardworking man as well. It is no wonder why my mother and her family looked down on people like my grandma and my father. My grandma is lazy. My father has never succeeded in doing anything. He tried to start a small business, but he suffered losses eight out of ten times. Once he lost money, my father would be thinking from whom he could borrow some money, when he had no one else to borrow money from anymore, he would shamelessly borrow money from my maternal grandmother and my mother's brother and sisters. He kept thinking that my mother's family should be helping him. My family was poor, to begin with. On top of that, my mother was sick. If I didn't send some money to let my mother get her treatment, firstly, my mother wouldn't be healed, secondly, I also truly didn't want to be disgraced in my maternal grandmother, uncle, and aunts' eyes."

She sighed. "I had been kicked out of the company, but I didn't dare to tell my family. I still sent money home as usual.

Also, I had no way to secure a job for six months during that time. During those six months, I borrowed money from all of the only few friends and former colleagues I had. I had borrowed about five hundred dollars and I had also borrowed more than a thousand dollars. It wasn't that much in total. It was just about four thousand dollars. However, that could not sustain the salary that I sent to my mother every month. Later, I began taking out a cash advance on your credit card. The total amount that I had taken was six thousand dollars."

Chapter 2583 "However, the debt of ten thousand dollars was truly a colossal burden for me, a person without a job. Also, it was snowballing."

"What was the reason that you couldn't secure a job in six months? " Kingston asked in confusion. "Logically speaking, you already had three years of working experience. You were so diligent as well. It should be very easy for you to find a job."

Eevonne laughed at herself. "Logically speaking, it should be really easy for me to find a job, especially the fact that I was a girl.

It should be very easy for me to find all sorts of jobs. As long as one is not picky. The girls from my village who left to work could bring as much as ten thousand dollars of savings back to their homes. I kept thinking that I had already had an office job for three years, so I already had enough experience. I was already an office lady through and through. I certainly had to find a decent job.

Just like that, I spent six months searching for a decent job. I had no income for six whole months, and I still had to send money back to my mother every month. Kingston, do you know how regretful I am now?"

Kingston was speechless. He still had not even figured out if the girl in front of him was telling him a story in an attempt to cheat him out of his money or if she was telling the truth.

Eevonne did not notice the suspicion that Kingston had for her. She let out a long sigh. "Do you know, Kingston? If life can be like the novels, with things like time traveling and reincarnation, I would reincarnate as myself ten years ago. I don't fantasize that I could go to high school or college after I graduated middle school. My grades were truly not bad, but I don't fantasize about that kind of matter as well. I just want to go back to ten years ago when I just graduated middle school. I truly won't be as vain as I was in the past. I won't care so much about being looked down upon by others. I would endure the humiliations for the greater good, carry the simplest luggage on my back, and go to work in the big city. I would do the most basic job, and with my intelligence, I would still be promoted by the factory manager. However, I certainly won't repeat what I previously had done and quit after just a few months. I would take one step at a time and do my job well. I was promoted by my superior at my first job. I didn't need the fake diploma. If I could hold that position for three years, and master all the things and skills that I should learn, it would be much easier for me if I were to quit and find another job."

She continued. "Also, I wouldn't insist on working as an office lady when I search for a new job. I would just be a team leader at the factory. With my actual and practical skills, I would still have a chance to be promoted. Even if I didn't, so what? Greatness can come from any type of profession. At the very least, I wouldn't be so vain and have much psychological burden. I won't have to pay for the consequences of my vanity. It's only when a person keeps his or her feet on the ground and produces results by taking one step at a time that the person would truly be respected by others. The main thing is that the person could really make money. Unlike me in the end, who can't find a stable job all the while. Not only did I not make any money, but I even owed a lot of money."

Speaking of that, Eevonne looked at him with her face covered in tears. "Kingston, do you think there's a way to reincarnate in this world?"

Chapter 2584 "No, there's no way to reincarnate in this world," Kingston said gently.

Eevonne sobbed and cried even harder. "How great would it be if I could be reincarnated? How great would it be to be reborn? I would study well and go to college. I certainly would work hard at my job. I would never do those vain things anymore. I would never compare myself to my cousins anymore. Never again. However, it's all too late now. It's too late now!" She sobbed.

"Is it too late?" Kington interjected her and asked calmly.

"What do you mean, Kingston?" Eevonne asked.

He shrugged. "Silly girl. You're not even thirty this year. You're still so young, so how could everything be too late? Everything that you said was just common mistakes that a young person would make. I told you that there are many people in this world who have made mistakes but don't even realize their own mistakes their whole lives. Therefore, they would never correct their mistakes their whole lives. For example..."

Speaking of that, Kingston thought of Lily, Selen, and Mindy. All these girls were far vainer than Eevonne and even more vicious than her. Two of the girls wanted to pay a small price to trade for a huge victory and to forcefully take what was not theirs. To put it bluntly, they were simply doing things for their selfish reasons and to satisfy their vanity.

In order to satisfy their vanity, those girls no longer had any limits, so much so that they did not even hesitate to harm another person's life. In comparison to them, Eevonne's tiny bit of vanity simply was not even worth mentioning.

In just a few minutes, Kingston had almost already thought it through. His instinct was telling him that the girl in front of him did not seem like she was lying to him. If she truly was lying, she would not have made up this kind of story. The majority of her story was about her blaming herself, and she did not make herself very pitiful. She was always facing her flaws head-on. Besides, even if the girl was lying to her and was trying to make up stories to cheat him out of his money, so what?

At that moment, Kingston still had not revealed his identity. In that small county up north, nobody knew that he was a wealthy person. He then made up his mind that he would never lend money to this girl no matter what. That would be fine, would it not?

If everything the girl said was true and he did not lend her a hand at that moment, she truly might fall into the abyss.

The girl was right. The story of a mistreated girl rising to the top only existed in fairytales. In the fairytale, even if any mishaps were to happen to the girl, a prince would come to her rescue.

In reality, the majority of girls, especially girls who came from the village to work in the big city, were suffering all sorts of injustice like Eevonne. The majority of them wanted to live with their heads held high and wanted to take the lead for once, but they often got the opposite of what they wanted.

Who in this world did not have a little bit of vanity? Everybody has it.

Sabrina was the only girl in the entire South city who was so mentally strong that even if she was dressed like a beggar and dragging a duffel bag that was broken beyond repair, she still appeared in front of Sebastian without any fear. Sabrina was the only girl like that in the entire South City "For example, what, Kingston?" Eevonne asked seriously, tilting her head.

"You have to remember that you're a pure, kind, and brave girl that is hard to come by. You're very brave," Kingston comforted her.

He did not tell Eevonne about the nasty things in South City that happened to Sabrina. All those nasty things in the wealthy families were not something Eevonne could encounter, she was already very weak at that moment, so why should he tell her all that?

Chapter 2585 Besides, if he had told her, Kingston's identity would also be exposed. He did not want his identity to be exposed in front of Eevonne.

"Kingston, you're really nice. If...how great would it be if I could meet you five years earlier? You looked like a rough guy, but your thoughts are very delicate. You know how to comfort others, and you're mentally strong. If I had met you five years earlier, I may not be so lonely, and I may not walk step by step into the abyss," Eevonne said in a desolate tone.

Kingston was shocked. "How did you walk step by step into the abyss? What's...the abyss?"

He was afraid that Eevonne would say those words. The words of going astray and working those disreputable work or being a mistress to some old man. Without knowing the reason, Kingston was very afraid that Eevonne would say such a thing.

Eevonne, who originally still had tears in her eyes, smiled playfully. "Actually, if it's based on your outlook on life, it's nothing. Firstly, I didn't do anything that was harmful to my body. Secondly, I have never been kept as a mistress by anybody. What I mean by falling into the abyss is..."

Hearing that, Kingston smiled in relief. As long as that never happened!

"When you say you fell into the abyss, you can't be saying that you had tricked others out of their money right?"

Those words carried double meanings as well. He was trying to ask Eevonne in a roundabout way if she was here to cheat him out of his money.

Eevonne looked up at Kingston. "How did you know, Kingston?"

Kingston was dumbfounded and was unable to say a single thing for a long while.

Eevonne, however, did not notice something was different about him. Instead, she continued, "I didn't cheat money out of other people. Instead, I took a cash advance on my credit card again."

Kingston was speechless. It was after a long while that he asked, " You don't even have a serious job. How did you manage to apply for a credit card?"

Eevonne shrugged. "People often say that making one wrong move would lead to all the wrong moves after all. I am a very real example of that."

She turned her head back to look at Kingston and then smiled with her eyebrows raised. "I was unable to secure a job for six months after I was kicked out of that company, and even the money in the credit card was all spent. When I couldn't even pay my debt, I also thought about looking for a job at a factory at that time. However, it was already too late at that time. The only way I would pay the debt and send money to my mother was to continue faking my diploma and lie to get a high-paying job."

"So you continued faking your diploma? Then, you found a job that is to your satisfaction?" Kingston asked.

Eevonne nodded miserably. "I found it, and it was a job in a high- end office building downtown."

Kingston could not help but laugh. "Eevonne, you truly have your ways to trick others. However, this also was enough to show that you're very intelligent and you have great adaptability. The most important thing was that you already had a certain level of practical experience, didn't you?"

Eevonne laughed at herself. "There's still something else that is even more out of your expectation."

Kingston became curious, "oh? What is that? Tell me?"

At that moment, he truly was like listening to a story. He was extremely interested in Eevonne's matter.

She shrugged. "I was courted by a white-collared worker in the new company."

Kingston was speechless. That was truly out of his expectation. His face, for some reason, suddenly became tense.

It was just that Eevonne did not see it. she looked like she was in pain as she had already fallen back into a painful memory. "It's just that this relationship made me..."

Chapter 2586 Kingston already figured it out. "Did you go through a breakup after that?"

That was not hard to imagine. If Eevonne did not have a breakup, she should have already been a mother with a child at that moment, would she not? It would also be impossible for her boyfriend or husband not to save her when she was beaten up by her relatives in front of her house.

Following that, Kingston comforted her. "Silly girl, how many people in this world could actually work out with the first person they dated? There are plenty of good men in this world. That boyfriend is nothing."

He even wanted to tell her that there was a good man right in front of her. It was just that the man was slightly older. However, Kingston was a meticulous person. He could not say something slightly inappropriate when someone was going through a difficult time.

Eevonne, however, laughed. "Yes, there are plenty of good men in this world. You, for example, are a good man that is hard to come by. It's just a pity that I've met you too late."

She looked at Kingston. "Kingston, did I frighten you? Don't be scared. I won't fall in love with you, much less borrow money from you. Don't worry. It's already a blessing for me to meet a friend like you in this life, a person whom I can pour my heart out to, who doesn't despise me, and doesn't think of me as a psycho. I don't dare to ask for too much anymore. Initially, when you saved me while my cousins were pulling my hair and beating me back up, I saw that you are truly a rough laborer. I was thinking if you're a homeless laborer, I'll follow you. I'll marry you. Even if we had to wander to every end of the world, even if we had to stay in a shed for the rest of our lives, I would be willing. That's because I'm truly too lonely by myself. I'm too lonely. However, you brought me to stay in such a nice hotel after that. I then thought that you probably aren't a homeless person or a laborer and whatnot."

"Then what kind of person do I look like to you?" Kingston asked with interest.

Eevonne hung her head and her tone had the usual kind of humility as she said, "You're probably a contractor, right? Maybe not one with a huge team, but you should at least be a contractor who is leading more than ten people, right? That's because I could tell from the way you speak that you're not like a laborer. You should be someone who communicates with others often. If I had guessed it right, you probably haven't gotten your payment, so you're here in our county waiting to ask the big boss for your payment. The reason you took on a construction contract in our county at that time was so that it would be convenient for you to look for your cousin. Am I right? Your cousin came to work and was tricked by others, and then she went missing. Is that right?"

Kingston laughed. He did not deny it. "How did you know?"

This time, Eevonne laughed. "No matter what, I'm a person who has worked in the big city for a few years, and I was working in an office as well. Even though I have failed, I have more or less a little bit of experience in judging people."

Kingston nodded. "Kind of."

"Therefore, if you are a homeless laborer, I feel I would be just right to be with you. I won't have any psychological burden as well. I would be very happy to have someone who could give me warmth and company. However, you are a contractor. You're smart, you have your own ideas, and you even have your own workers. I feel that I am not worthy to be with you. I could not help but feel inferior. You might think that we've only met for a couple of days and I am already considering the issue of whether I want to marry you or not, so could a person like me be crazy about men? In fact, Kingston, I truly am. My life is in such a terrible state.

I don't have any friends and family, and even my mother despised me. Her family even beat me up in front of her. I no longer want anything anymore. I just want to have a person to love me for the rest of my life. That would be enough, of course, people like me certainly can't find a good partner. At this point in time, I don't have any wild wishes anymore. I just want to have someone by my side for the rest of my life. It doesn't matter to me if I had to live the poorest life or live in a mud house. It doesn't matter anymore."

"What kind of dating life have you had that made you so disappointed?" Kingston asked, feeling sorry for her.

Eevonne's story was not finished, but Kingston had to admit that he truly was attracted by her story.

Chapter 2587 In fact, there are all sorts of people in the world. Everyone has stories that they could not finish telling. Everyone has their difficulties. Listening to someone else's story quietly in a foreign land was not a bad thing for him. He truly wanted to listen to her story deep down.

Also, when he saw the girl cry at this moment, cried even harder the next moment, and then calmed down again in the following moment, Kingston felt that the girl was quite cute. Up until that point, Kingston could actually tell that the girl did not make any major mistakes. However, she has been reflecting on herself and has been feeling guilty. She even kept emphasizing that she had no friends and family.

Kingston was thinking that if he took such a girl to Sabrina, she would certainly feel that this girl was so pure and cute. He did not mean that if the girl had a boyfriend, had cohabited with someone, or something like that, then she would no longer be pure. The pureness that Kingston was thinking of was of the mind and not the body. At the very least, even if the girl were to tell him next that she had lived in cohabitation with her boyfriend and had broken up after that, Kingston would still think that this girl is very pure and kind.

"In fact, at the root of it all, it was still my fault. It's really my fault, " said Evonne, she was unable to lift her spirits at all when she said that.

She looked up at that sky and sighed."Since the beginning, when you first meet a person, you weren't even showing him your true self, so how could he be sincere to you? That boy was quite nice." "He found out about your fake diploma, so...he broke up with you? " Kingston asked.

Eevonne shook her head. "That wasn't the only thing."

"You went to the new company and you encountered the same situation as your former company?" Kingston asked.

"It's not like that," said Eevonne, and her expression clearly became relaxed. "The new company was downtown. I had to take a bus to work every day. Unlike my former company in the suburbs, the majority of the staff in the new company were very tolerant.

They didn't have such strong ideas about hierarchies, and they also did not have such a strong sense of superiority. Perhaps it was because the young people working downtown were mostly from all over the country, and they were all incomparably outstanding. There was a clear difference between them and the people from the factory in the suburbs. At first, nobody asked or investigated me about my fake diploma. On top of that, I had three years working in an office, so I had a great experience in managing sales orders. Therefore, at first, everyone got along with me quite well. On top of that, you knew it as well, I was rather vain, to begin with. I was afraid that others would look down on me, so I bought many beautiful clothes to dress myself up. Even if I already had a debt of almost twenty thousand dollars at that time, I still pretended to be rich. The benefit that I got from living my life while pretending to be rich was that a manager in the planning department in our company initiated to invite me to dinner.

That boy was two years older than me. He was very handsome, and he came from the same province as me. It's just that his house was on the southern end, and it was about five hundred kilometers away from my hometown. Because we came from the same province, we felt a sense of familiarity when we talked to each other. Therefore, our relationship progressed faster. He was that kind of sunny and positive kind of person. As for me, on the other hand, to be honest, I was very tired. I had to hide the truth from him about everything. No matter if it was my family background, my academic qualifications, or the fact that I was struggling hard to repay the money I owed, I did not dare to tell him at all. In order for him to like me, I even often pay for my own share when I go out on a date with him. I would also send him some gifts. Because of that and also because I still had to send money back to my mother every month, as well as repay my debt, my income was still unable to match my expenses. For that, I asked my company for a raise. It was at that moment that I was exposed once again in my company.

II

Chapter 2588 Kington asked in confusion. "How were you exposed?"

Actually, he wanted to say that the matter of using a fake diploma would sooner or later be exposed. It was just a matter of time.

The best way was not to use a fake diploma and be true to oneself.

However, everyone has their own choices in life. Also, Eevonne already knew she was wrong at that moment. Therefore, Kington did not express his own opinions anymore. He just listened to her quietly.

Eevonne hung her head and her cheeks were slightly flushed. Kingston knew that she has always been a girl with a very strong sense of shame.

She raised her head and looked at Kingston as if she had plucked up all her courage. "When I asked for a raise from my superior and the human resource department, they agreed very happily. However, they made a request of me. They said they could give me a raise, but I had to have a position that matches the raise. If I wanted a raise, they would give the translation work to me in the future. The company would be able to save some costs as well. I am more professional regarding sales orders, after all. As long as I take over the translation work, the company could raise my salary by half of my original salary. At that time, the human resource department told me that it has always been costly for the company to find an external professional translator. However, not only were the salaries for those translators very high, but they lacked professional knowledge of the business. In fact, what the company needed the most was a staff who was well-versed with professional knowledge and could accept and translate the orders from foreign companies at the same time. If I could really do that, the company would be very satisfied. Also, they would be willing to pay a high price. On top of that, unlike my position at that time, I would be able to work independently in my new position when the time comes."

Kingston had a sudden realization. "Your diploma was faked, so you only had a rich professional knowledge, but your Spanish is bad?"

Eevonne laughed at herself. "It wasn't just bad, I completely had no clue at all. I only knew the basic alphabet. The only few terms I had learned in middle school had long been forgotten. How could I translate?"

"So you..."

"I politely rejected," said Eevonne with a miserable smile.

"It's good that you rejected them. How did you expose yourself then?" Kingston asked as he was still confused.

Eevonne bit her lips. "I never expected that the human resource department would be so stubborn. I was also too ignorant so I was fearless. I actually agreed. At the root of it all, I agreed because I truly did not want to be disgraced in front of my colleagues in the company, as well as my new boyfriend. I had no choice but to bite the bullet and agreed."

"You...you said yes? You don't even have any clue about Spanish, how dare you say yes? what did you do after you said yes?"

At that moment, Kingston was quite anxious for her.

Eevonne shrugged. "Yes, you didn't expect that I would be so bold, right? In fact, I was the one who asked for it. Really, Kingston.

Now that I think about it, it's really true that when a person takes a wrong step, the following steps would also be wrong."

Chapter 2589 "I was the one who brought everything on myself."

"Don't say that about yourself, Eevonne," Kingston comforted her.

Eevonne shook her head. "That truly was my unforgivable mistake. I truly had brought it on myself. I originally thought that asking for a raise could ease my financial strain. My salary indeed was raised, and I was promoted, but there was a three months probation period. In those three months, if I could do the job well, only then would my salary be raised as high as the amount that the human resource department had promised me. Also, only then could I truly keep my position. Initially, to the human resource department and my direct superior, that wasn't anything difficult. It was just a formality. That's because, to a person who is proficient in Spanish, it would be the easiest task for them.

However, to me, it was as hard as doing the impossible. However, I didn't dare to ask anybody in the company for help as I was afraid I would give myself away. Later, I paid a fortune to hire a professional translator. Just one single order with only a few pages, I had to spend a few thousand dollars hiring a professional translator to translate for me."

"Gosh, then wouldn't your salary..." Kingston had almost figured out the consequences.

"That's right. The raise that I got not only did not ease my pressure but because I had to spend money to hire an external translator, it made it even more difficult for me to make ends meet. Not only that but there was an even more troublesome matter.

The orders that our company received can't actually be finalized in just one sitting. We needed to communicate with the client a few times, and every time, there would be different revisions. It would be on the lesser end if a single order was revised a couple of times, and it could go as many as five or six times. Even though the majority of the contents were the same, with every revision, I still needed a professional translator to help me translate, when I pay for the professional translator, they wouldn't only charge me for the revised parts just because the majority of the contents were the same. They charge me by the number of times they have to translate. In that situation, my debt accumulated to as high as five thousand dollars after a month. At that time, I was already very tight on money. I was already spending as little as I could on food every day. Also, the matter became a huge burden on my mind that almost suffocated me. The kind of mental pressure was already severely affecting my work. Also, my company started to pick up on something. Every time we received an order, I could not translate them at any time in the company. Instead, I had to bring it home, when I was only one month away from being officially promoted, the human resource department and my superior started to take notice of me. At first, they were only investigating me in secret."

"They found out about your fake diploma?" Kingston asked.

Eevonne shook her head. "No, they found that I sold the company's confidential information and the transfer pricing of the company was sold to another company in the same line."

Kingston was shocked. "Th-This is breaking the law, but you didn't do such a thing. They misunderstood you. You were actually just spending money to hire a translator, right?"

Eevonne shook her head once again. "No..."

Kingston looked at her incredulously. This time, his tone was slightly harsh. "Eevonne, don't tell me that in order to pay back the money you owe, you really took the company's confidential information out and sold it to the rival company. This...this is an action that's breaking the law!"

Eevonne raised her head and looked at him. "Kingston, do you think that of me as well? I know. It's my fault. Everybody, let alone you, thought that of me. I didn't even have the right to defend myself because it was truly my fault. At the very least, I was the cause of it all."

Kingston was stunned. "You didn't do that?"

Eevonne looked at him with tears in her eyes, "of course, not. It was the translator I got from the professional translation company that had secretly sold our information at a high price. Later, I also proved the matter, so the translator was prosecuted by law.

Chapter 2590 Kingston finally understood. "Because of that, the company found out the truth that you had no knowledge of Spanish at all and you didn't even have a college diploma, right?

Eevonne hung her head and did not dare to lift it for a long time. She asked softly, "Kingston, do you think that I'm a horrible person?"

Kingston did not know what to say. However, Eevonne continued, " Actually, many girls would be wrongfully accused, ostracized, and oppressed while growing up. However, many girls also could rely on their determination to slowly get back up on their feet and win the respect of others. Also, those girls would still have a clear conscience deep down when they were oppressed and ostracized by others. That's because they didn't do anything wrong. They have always been justified from the beginning to the end. Even if they were once oppressed and ostracized, they are still able to fall in love and meet the people who love them.

"But what about me? I truly deserved it."

Kingston was speechless.

"Kingston, I had been humiliated for three years in the former company, but in the new company, nobody humiliated me.

Everyone was quite friendly to me. However, I still ruined my reputation and image."

At that moment, when he heard Eevonne talking about herself like that, Kingston really wanted to say, 'That's right! You truly brought it on yourself! You have dug a hold for yourself, so it's only right that you jump in yourself.' However, when he saw that Eevonne was pitiful at that moment, he was unable to say any of that at all. That was a girl who was repenting for her past mistakes.

At that moment, she was in so much pain, so Kingston truly could not bear to say anything to her anymore.

Eevonne continued. "I originally thought that the humiliation I had suffered in my former company was enough and was great enough. However, I didn't expect that in comparison to my new company, the former one was just a small case. At least in the former company, I could argue with others. However, in my situation in the new company, I didn't even have any right to refute at all. when my superior and human resources department investigated me and thought that I had sold the company's confidential information to another company in the same field, the people from the human resources department had already restrained me, and they were going to call the police next. Out of desperation, I had no choice but to reveal that my college diploma was a fake.

I didn't know the slightest bit of Spanish at all. I didn't sell the information to another company in the same field. I only brought it out and paid a translator to translate them. When the human resource manager and my superior heard what I said, they were so shocked that they were at a loss for words for a long while. At first, they didn't believe me. They thought that I was trying to use that as an excuse and I didn't want to bear the legal consequences. Later, I personally went to the translation company myself, and then I found the translator that was specifically handling my cases through the company. It was after I had checked his transaction records and his chat histories that I proved that I was indeed not the person who sold the confidential information. It was the translator. Even then, I still couldn't be forgiven by my company. The company suffered a huge loss because of my incident. The director was incomparably furious because of that. He asked the human resource department and my superior to tell me to admit my mistakes in front of everyone in the company and admit that I had faked my diploma in front of them as well.

If I was not willing to do so, then I would have to bear the consequences myself. I was so embarrassed that I wanted to die at that time." 1 "Eevonne, I...I don't know what I should say. I'm even wondering why the matter would progress and end up in that stage? why?"

Kingston asked.

Eevonne smiled miserably. "The reason is very simple. It's because I was vain and I didn't keep my feet on the ground."
