Ch. 2621..2630
Chapter 2621 Kingston looked at Eevonne’s other two cousins again.” Eevonne owes you money, right?” Both of them had been stunned the whole time, and they did not know what to say. They were also afraid that they would be dragged away by the police if they had said something wrong. It was when they heard Kingston asking them that question that regained their senses as if they had just woken up from a dream.
“Yes, yes, yes! You’re absolutely right. Eevonne owes us money, and she did not pay us back! That is indeed true! She did owe the bank money, but she did owe us money as well! She owes us money, but she did not pay us back. Is that not being a shifty non-payer? She is a non-payer!” “You’re right, Eevonne is still a non-payer!” said Eevonne’s cousin frantically.
He was extremely happy. Was the man in front of him a fool? Was he helping Eevonne or them? How fun! The cousin looked at Eevonne with a smug expression. What he meant to tell her was that the helper that she got was shooting her in her foot!
Kingston also saw her cousin’s smug expression. “You’re her cousin, right?” Her cousin nodded. “Yes, I am Eevonne’s cousin!” “Do you have an informal written agreement for the money that Eevonne owes you?” asked Kingston.
“Hmph! Of course, I do. All things monetary have to be clearly recorded even if it was between siblings.
How could I be careless about this kind of thing? Of course, there is an informal written agreement,” he blurted out without knowing that it was a trap.
“Please produce the informal written agreement !” said Kingston.
Eevonne’s cousin immediately took out the agreement from his pocket and handed it to the police. “Do you think I won’t have the agreement on me? I’m sorry. You’ve miscalculated this. I’ve been carrying the agreement with me everywhere I go. It’s simply for the sake of guarding against shifty non-payers like you! Despicable jerks!” “This is not right!” The police officer looked at him seriously. “In this informal written agreement, the amount went from thirty thousand dollars to fifty thousand within two years. This interest is against the law!” Kingston sneered. “Hah!” Eevonne’s cousin was speechless . He suddenly realized that he had walked into a trap, but it was already too late.
He laughed coldly. “This is my aunt’s family. When I lent the money to my aunt back then, it was for the sake of saving her life! 1…how is it that I’m still wrong when I’ve saved a person’s life?” “Saving a person’s life is not wrong! However, what else was written in that agreement ?” Kingston kept pressing on. “Not only did you write how much money she has to pay you back in the agreement, but you also wanted her house! May I know what are you doing here today? Are you here as a guest at your aunt’s house? May I know if anybody would act like you if the person is a guest? You’ve raised your hand at your own cousin to the point that police were alerted. Are you here as a guest? Of course, not. Let me tell the police what you’ve come for. You’re here to take ownership of the house. Am I right?” “She owes us money but she didn’t pay us back, so of course, I’m here to take the house away from her. Even if we are cousins, we still have to settle the accounts properly, don’t we?” “You’re right! However, did Eevonne really not pay back the money she owes?” Kingston asked. “Sure!
Pay us back then! Pay us back immediately! As long as Eevonne pays back the money she owes us, we certainly won’t take away her house! However, if she didn’t, don’t blame me for being rude!” At that moment, no matter how much Eevonne’s cousin wanted her house, he also couldn’t say it out loud in front of the police. He could only bite the bullet and let Eevonne return him the money.
However, he knew that Eevonne could not pay him back. He was feeling fortunate and was waiting to see Eevonne make a fool of herself. He wanted to see how Eevonne, a person with a huge debt, could take out fifty dollars in one go!
Eevonne smiled miserably. “Kingston, all of my money is with my mother. I…” At that moment, it was absolutely impossible for her mother to take the money out and embarrass Eevonne’s cousin. However, Kingston smiled calmly, and then he took out a deposit slip of fifty dollars from his pocket and handed it to her. “Eevonne, take this to pay your cousin.”
Chapter 2622 Eevonne was speechless. She did not say anything for a long while. Tears just kept streaming down her face.
It was after a long moment that she said with a catch in her throat, “Kingston, I…I won’t borrow money from you. I would never borrow money from anyone from now on! Thank you.” “Silly!” Kingston shouted!
“This is not the time to talk about integrity. Take it one step at a time for all matters and solve them one step at a time as well. Everything has to be completely resolved today! Since you trust me, then listen to me. Be good. Take this fifty thousand dollars!” Kingston looked at her extremely seriously.
“Kingston…” Eevonne replied.
“Take it!” Eevonne knew that since things have already turned out this way, and since she has already completely fallen out with her cousins, she has to make this move. Otherwise, she would hurt not only herself but Kingston as well.
With her face covered in tears, she accepted the slip from Kingston and handed it to her cousin, “This is for the thirty thousand dollars that I owed you. You asked me to pay back fifty thousand dollars to you in two years. I’ve paid you back now. You have nothing more to say, right?” “That won’t do! You’re late!” Her cousin seemed to have forgotten that he had already exceeded the maximum limit in terms of the interest that he wanted to collect, which was against the law.
He pointed at Eevonne once again. “The due date for repayment was a month ago. You’ve dragged it for a month, so you’ve long made a violation. I want to take your house myself now. This is a fair trade!
Besides, my aunt has already agreed. Eevonne, your words mean nothing in this house. This is my aunt’s house, she’s the one who has the final say! We must take this house away!
It was already at the final moment, so of course, her cousin would fight to get as much as he could.
“Fine! You’re truly something else. You really are a person who won’t easily take action without a clear target!” Kingston looked at him and sneered before he said again, “Didn’t all you kept insisting that I am a contractor? Since I am a contractor, I certainly know more about real estate than all of you. Let me teach you about property law today!” As he said that, Kingston looked at Eevonne’s younger cousin, who had outstanding looks, was eloquent, and was well – educated . “You’re a high-achieving graduate from a top college. Why didn’t you tell your cousin beforehand that a homestead can’t be treated as goods and be used for trades and gifts?” Eevonne’s younger cousin was speechless. She knew. Of course, she knew that a homestead could not be sold and could not be transferred to someone else. It could only be used as a permanent residence. However, her aunt did not know that.
Her silly cousin , Eevonne , who has strong vanity, even more so, did not know that. However, she never expected that his man named Kingston also knew so much.
“This is a homestead! This is the homestead that generations and generations of farmers have lived in!
This is not a commercial property! Eevonne’s family can only live here for generations, but they absolutely don’t have the right to sell it off. Even if they were to forgo their conscience and sell the house to you, and even if they had already taken your money, if they were to take you to court one day and forcibly seize their house, they could also win the lawsuit. Do you understand?” Kingston sneered and looked at the man, who was Eevonne’s cousin.
He stammered for a long while and was at a loss for words.
Kingston, however, did not intend to spare him. “Besides, you’re really openly robbing her now! You’ve already said so just now that it’s against the law to force your way into someone’s house. Then, is it breaking the law when you forcibly rob someone of their house?” He turned his head around and looked at the police.” Officers, what do you think?” “Of course, it’s the law to rob someone of their house!” Eevonne’s cousin was so frightened that both of his legs were trembling. At that moment, he truly was afraid. He only knew that his aunt had always loved him very much. As long as it was something that he had asked for, his aunt would exhaust every way to satisfy him. Both he and his sister have the best aunt in the world. All of the neighbors envied them very much.
Therefore, he felt that it was justified for wanting his aunt’s money, beating up his aunt’s daughter, and then wanting to have his aunt’s house. He knew that his aunt would certainly protect him.
Therefore, at that moment, he turned around and looked at Eevonne’s mother. “Aunt… Hurry up and save me. I…” Eevonne’s mother looked at her very sternly. “Eevonne, what do you want to do? This is your cousin!
How can you not care about your relatives at all?”
Chapter 2623 “Cousin?” Eevonne sneered while tears streamed down her face. Immediately after that, she reached into her bag and took out a series of test results she got from the hospital, and then she handed it to her mother. At the same time, she was also speaking to all of her relatives.
“Mom! I have been hospitalized at a hospital in the county town for a week. During that time, the doctor conducted a full body checkup on me. I would like to ask you, Mom, can a checkup at the hospital be considered the result of an injury assessment? I was bleeding from several places on my head because I was beaten up! I have several places on my body with soft tissue injuries. I have been discharged from the hospital now, but I still have bruises all over me. Mom! Aren’t you afraid that those kicks from my cousin would destroy my organs? Aren’t you afraid that he would kick me to death?” “You…how did they beat you up so severely?” her mother said haltingly.
“Weren’t you right there at that time?” Eevonne questioned her mother with a cold expression.
Her mother was speechless. At that moment, Eevonne was actually very saddened. She still cared for her mother, after all. However, she could also tell that no matter what she did, her mother would still be caring for her own family instead. In fact, that was hardly surprising. Those people were her mother’s closest relatives. They were her siblings. Eevonne’s mother and her siblings have a very close relationship. It was just like the relationship between Eevonne and her brother. That was something inseparable.
Eevonne envied her mother very much for having such a strong and united relationship with her family.
In the future, Eevonne and her brother also have to rely on each other like that. Eevonne felt relieved when she thought of the fact that her mother and her mother’s family could rely on each other to survive. In any case, nothing good would ever come from forcing others to do something. Even if she forced her mother to be close to her family, the York family, her mother would not be able to do it. Since it could not be done, then she might as well just let go. This way, the help that Kingston had given her would not be in vain.
“Mom, I’ve made up my mind.” Eevonne’s tone suddenly became gentle. “This house in this village can’t be sold or transferred to someone else, but you have the right to stay here forever. Within these couple days, I will go to our county town and have my father, my brother, and myself removed from the certificate of title to this house. I’ll leave you as the sole owner of this house. You can let whoever move in as you pleased. As for the money, I’ll just give the fifty thousand dollars to my cousins. They are your loved ones, after all. It’s good to keep the riches within the family. Just take it as… me repaying the favor for giving birth to me and raising me. Mom, your family loves you so much, and I, on the other hand, am so terrible. I have a butt load of debt, and on top of the fifty thousand from Kingston, the total amount that I owed is one hundred and sixty thousand dollars. Also, my reputation … is so tainted. Since this is the case, let’s just sever our mother- daughter relationship. From now on, I will not come back to this house anymore.” “You…” Eevonne’s mother uttered.
Her voice suddenly was choked up. “Where can you…go if you don’t come back to this house?” “I’ll go look for my father and also my brother. We don’t have a place to stay anymore in the future, so I guess we might have to wander around for a while. After all, I will first spend three years clearing my debt. In the future, I’ll just wander out there with my father and brother. You and your family can rely on each other. I also have to find my loved ones from the York family to rely on, don’t I?” Eevonne’s mother was speechless.
Eevonne did not look at her mother anymore. “Officer, now these three hard pieces of evidence are here with me. My cousin has loaned me money with illegally high interest , he has beaten me up, and he has also forcibly taken our house from us. All three of these combined are enough to put my cousin in prison, right?” “No…no, Eevonne. I am your cousin. You can’t be so merciless to me, can you?” With a miserable expression on his face, her cousin began to plead with her.
Eevonne sneered. “Do we still have a familial relationship?”
Chapter 2624 Eevonne’s cousin was dumbfounded by her question and he could not come up with any response for a long while. “I…well…” Once again, Eevonne looked at her mother, who also had nothing to say and just looked pitiful.
Eevonne truly could not bear to see her mother like that.
After a pause, she sighed. “Forget it. I won’t pursue any of these matters anymore. The money and the house is all yours. Mom, let’s do it today. Let’s take our certificate of title to the office and I’ll first have my name removed from it. As for the other things, where it’s beating me up or collecting more money from me, I won’t pursue any of the matters anymore. Since the police are here, let’s go and have our names changed in the certificate of title.” Without waiting for her mother to say anything, Eevonne turned around and looked at her cousins again. “Since the house and the money are yours now, I will be letting go of the fact that you had beaten me up, which you were supposed to be imprisoned for. As for me, once I’ve moved away, I won’t be coming back to this village anymore. Therefore, both of you should take care of my mother for the rest of her life. You knew my mother’s situation as well. Her body is weak and she is easily sick, so I hope you can put more effort into caring for her. I’ll be counting on you guys.” Eevonne’s words were extremely sincere. However, as soon as finished her sentence, her cousins exclaimed in unison, “That won’t do! We have our own parents. Why should we take care of our aunt for the rest of her life? We won’t be responsible for taking care of her. It’s unheard of in this world that a niece and nephew have to take care of their aunt. This is not required by the law as well!” Eevonne’s mother was speechless. Eevonne sneered.
In order to not let the responsibility of taking care of his aunt fall on him, Eevonne’s cousin kept arguing anxiously, “At the very least, I can’t. I’m a man. I will first have to take care of my parents. On top of that, my wife, your cousin-in-law, is the only daughter in her family. Therefore, the responsibility of taking care of her parents is also on me. All of these are required by the law and we have to take care of them. How would I still have any energy to take care of my aunt? Not just the matter of taking care of her, but it’s also not our responsibility to pay to let her get treatments , isn’t it? She has her own son and daughter. Why should we be the ones to spend our money for her to get treatment ? Even if we were to take this to court, it would also be impossible that the judge would decide that her niece and nephew should support her for the rest of her life! What a joke! Do you really think that we don’t know the law? Eevonne, listen up, don’t you even think that you can just run away. Even if you have severed your mother-daughter relationship with your mother, that wouldn’t be legal as well. You still – have to take care of your mother! You’re dumping the elder person in your family onto my family. What a joke! You could just not take care of her! As long as you’re not afraid of being shameful and also being a disgrace! However, you can’t dump this pile of shit on us! No way in hell!” Just a few minutes ago, she was still his closest aunt. She was still his aunt who would give him anything he wanted and the aunt who would rather let her daughter be beaten up just to protect him.
“Tigrillo! You…” At that moment, Eevonne’s mother looked at her nephew with her face covered in tears. Was that the nephew that she loved to the moon and back and was even her favorite? Ever since he was a child, Eevonne’s mother has given all of the good things to her nephew and not her children. In the end, what she got in return was her nephew calling her a pile of shit.
At that moment, her heart was torn into smithereens.
However, her nephew still sneered and looked at her,” Aunt! I finally understood what a brilliant plan your family has! All these years, you’ve been loving me and caring for me for the sake of letting your daughter push you away completely and let us take care of you for the rest of your life. “Aunt! You’re simply dreaming! This plan of yours truly is extraordinarily brilliant. You truly have been married into the York family for thirty years! Your noble selflessness has been completely worn out by the York family. You’ve become as shameless as the York family now. You’re just as lacking in shame and as despicable as them! However, aunt, i’ll let you know that this is not going to work on me! You can let whoever you want take care of you for the rest of your life. You can let whoever you want pay for your treatments!”
Chapter 2625 “I’ll say it again. This pile of shit can never be pinned on my sister and me. From a legal standpoint, we truly have no obligation to take care of you, this pile of shit! You’re just our aunt!” “You…you…you heartless son of a bitch!” Eevonne’s mother said.
Eevonne, who was standing at the side, kept sneering when she saw that. To be honest, she never expected that her cousin would turn his back on her mother so quickly. It looked like her mother had loved and spoiled him too much that he did not value her, his aunt, at all. Even the few police officers could not stand it anymore.” They said that even a fair judge can’t judge the matters among a family.
Family matters are the hardest to manage. However, I have noticed the root of the problem as well.
This indeed is a dispute among a family. However, as an aunt, you’re too biased toward your maiden family, aren’t you, madam? It’s good that you have a good relationship with your siblings. That’s a great thing for the family. However, you’re simply using your daughter’s dignity, hard-earned money, and even her life to please your family! That’s not having a good relationship! Your ingratiation was deemed to be something that you should be doing in your family’s eyes! However, when you needed them, they ran off quicker than a bunny! Now, I have to ask all of you, are you going to settle this as a family matter or do you let us, the outsiders, handle it as our official business? If it’s a family matter, then we can look the other way and it’ll be best if you can reconcile. If you were to let us do our jobs, then I have to tell you, madam, your nephew has committed several crimes. With these three crimes combined, I think it’s already enough for him to be sentenced. Why don’t you think about it?” The police officer’s words were extremely clear. This was a family matter, but they, too, could not tolerate it anymore. It was clear that it was her family who was being a bully in this entire matter! At that moment, Eevonne’s mother was already crying inconsolably. While crying, she kept saying over and over again, “I’ve really loved you guys for nothing! I’ve loved you guys for nothing! You bunch of things without any conscience! I did not love my daughter and I was so cruel to her, but I didn’t want to mistreat you guys. However, all of you are actually so heartless in the end! Hurry up and get the fuck out of my house! No, no, no. Where’s my daughter? Where’s my daughter? Eevonne, where are you?
Eevonne, you can’t cut ties with me! Eevonne, don’t leave.” Eevonne’s mother kept shouting at the top of her lungs over and over again in fear and hopelessness.
However, at that moment, Eevonne was just standing in the corner behind the door to the house and was crying inconsolably.
Kingston was the only one standing next to her mother.
He bent over and asked Eevonne’s mother calmly.” You’re only thinking of your daughter at this moment. Isn’t it already too late?”
Chapter 2626 It was as if Eevonne’s mother could not hear Kingston taking a jab at her. She just kept wailing and shouting,” Eevonne, my daughter, where are you?” At that moment, even the few police officers felt an indescribable sadness when they saw her like that. One of the police officers could not help but give her a few pieces of advice, “Madam, it’s not wrong at all for a person to love their loved ones, their family, their nieces, and their nephews. That means that you’re a good person and a person who has a conscience and is generous. However, loving your family but not your children is really wrong. They are your children, after all. If you don’t even love her, who else would care about her? So what if she has debt? She didn’t break any laws for having debt. You’ve trampled on your own child like that, so everyone in your family doesn’t treat her as a human. Don’t you feel sad about that? The main thing is that there’s truly no other person in this world who has the obligation to take care of you. No matter how much you love your nephew and how much fortune you’ve given to him, he has no obligation to take care of you. That’s unless you’ve signed the agreement to adopt him. However, you clearly can’t do that now. He is already all grown up. In this world, other than your children, nobody else would have the obligation to take care of you for the rest of your life, madam. Also, do you know how pitiful your daughter is?
Even if she has severed the mother-daughter relationship with you, she still has to fulfill her obligation to take care of you for the rest of your life. Otherwise, she would be held legally accountable . Is she supposed to be doomed just because she was delivered by you? How pitiful she is!” That remark truly made Eevonne’s mother feel extremely ashamed of herself. Even the spectators outside the gate were sighing. They initially wanted to take a look at how Eevonne would be arrested , but at that moment, many people were crying because of what they heard. All humans could feel things as their hearts were made of flesh and blood. Plenty of people simply jumped on the bandwagon just for the sake of jumping on the bandwagon . At that moment, after they had heard and understood the reason and the entire matter, the people outside the courtyard started to discuss it.
“That made sense too. If she is my child, I’ll die from feeling heartbroken! This mother is truly very heartless! Just for the sake of getting a good reputation, she treats the members of her family well and is biased toward her own nieces and nephews. For the sake of getting a good reputation, she humiliated her daughter so horribly?” “Eevonne is quite pitiful. She has such a mother and such a bunch of relatives, so it’s only natural that wants to be able to hold her head up high. She had to hide and lie about everything she did because she was afraid of being laughed at by her relatives. I feel that she is pitiful. Besides, she didn’t simply fool around with a man out there. This man is not married!
Also, why do I feel that he is a capable man? He is wearing shabby clothes and he has a messy beard, but he has a logical mind and he is not afraid of trouble.” “He is an out-of-towner, but he can be so calm here. He’s able to make each and every one of her relatives dumbfounded and was able to defeat all of them. That’s not something that an average person could do.” “This man is very capable ! Eevonne truly did not waste her life living out there in the past few years.
She has a discerning eye. Why do I feel that in comparison to her cousins, she has better judgment?” “Who said she didn’t make anymore? If she didn’t make any money, how can this house be built? It’s also her family who pressured her so much to build such a big house. When she was unable to instantly cough up so much money, she had to borrow money out there. If she doesn’t want to borrow money from people out there, was she supposed to be borrowing it from her cousins, her uncle, and aunts? Do you think that group of cousins, uncles, and aunts of hers are easy to get along with? None of them are easy to deal with!” “Ungrateful jerks! Get the fuck off our village!” “Don’t come to our village anymore in the future! We’ll beat you up every time we see you! I’m warning you, don’t you think that the people in our village can be easily bullied!” “Fuck off!”
Chapter 2627 “Get all these shitty relatives of theirs out of here!” Instantly, the people outside the yard became very rowdy. They simply wanted to protect the village from their own village! All of the relatives from Eevonne’s mother’s family, who were standing in the courtyard , were truly embarrassed at that moment.
Eevonne’s younger cousin, in particular, who was still bossing people around arrogantly half an hour ago, who thought that she was the most talented, the prettiest, and the most outstanding person in the world, was so angry that her face was reddened and was feeling very awkward.
“Does this feel good?” Kingston deliberately asked the group of ungrateful and heartless people in the courtyard while looking at them.
Nobody answered Kingston. All of them were too embarrassed to speak.
“I’ll let you know that I’ve met bullies, but I’ve never met any kind of bullies like you guys! As Eevonne’s relatives, not only did you not help her, but you also kept taking things from her while insulting her at the same time! You even wanted her to be grateful for your insults. Also, this was all while Eevonne’s mother loved you so much. Ask yourself honestly, don’t you feel guilty? Aren’t you afraid of going to hell? Oh, you’re all civilized people, so you don’t believe in things you can’t see and things like hell, don’t you? However, the pride is yours, right?
You should take care of your pride, right?” Kingston’s words were indeed brutal. He simply did not want to show them any mercy at all! He simply wanted to let these people fear him for the rest of their lives and never have the guts to create any trouble in the future. At that moment, the group of people indeed were so afraid of Kingston that they hung their heads.
The tall and well-built cousin, in particular, who was also the most aggressive earlier , was almost going to kneel before Kingston at that moment. Eevonne’s uncle and his wife, as well as Eevonne’s aunt, also kept their heads low. They did not dare to raise their heads at all.
“Get the fuck out of my house now! Fuck off!” Eevonne’s mother shouted while crying as if she had gone mad.
The group of people immediately fled the courtyard at the speed of light as if they were granted amnesty. When they got to the entrance, they even had to endure the spits from the spectators outside the gate. They were truly in an extremely wretched state.
Just within a couple of minutes, those relatives were completely gone. Since the matter was completely resolved, the police left as well. At that moment when the gate was closed, the spectators outside the courtyard were not able to see what was going on inside anymore.
In that huge courtyard, only Eevobne’s mother, Eevonne, and also Kingston were left. Eevonne’s eyes were already so swollen from crying that she could not open them anymore.
Eevonne’s mother kept shouting. “Eevonne, my good daughter, you don’t blame me, right?” Eevonne was having mixed feelings. Did she blame her? She did not know. She was raised by her mother since childhood. When it came to the contribution to the family , Eevonne had to admit that her mother actually contributed as much as her father did. However, does that mean that she did not hate her? All these years when she was growing up, the feeling of being bullied and looked down on by cousins and berated by her mother was truly too painful. Also, once her childhood was over, she could never ever get it back anymore. They said that people with a happy childhood would be able to heal any wounds in the future, but people with an unfortunate childhood would need to spend the rest of their lives healing from past traumas. Eevonne’s parents were both alive and were by her side when she was a child, but she had an extremely unhappy childhood. How could she not resent her mother?
“Mom, we’ve managed to keep our house. In the future, you should stay home and take care of this house. I’ll ask Dad to return soon and I won’t let him work anymore. He is already old and his health is not great. Don’t fight with him anymore, alright?” Eevonne said to her mother calmly after she calmed herself down in the end.
Her mother immediately became happy. “My daughter, are you…not angry at me anymore?” Eevonne did not answer her mother’s question. Instead, she said calmly, “Mom, I want to leave this house and go away with Kingston.”
Chapter 2628 She wanted to follow Kingston as he continued looking for her cousin.
Eevonne's mother’s expression immediately became slightly terrified. "Eevonne, do you...hate me?"
Eevonne answered without any hesitation, "Yes!"
Her mother was speechless.
"However, you are my mother. I have no other way. I also know that you've actually contributed quite a bit to the York family all these years. I hate you, but I still will care for you like a fool," Eevonne answered truthfully.
"That's good then. That's good. I've failed you in the past, and I've overlooked you. 1 won't play favorites anymore in the future,"
said her mother and she smiled miserably, "Forget about playing favorites. In the future, I'lL.cut ties with my family!"
She looked like she had made a painful and firm decision.
Eevonne smiled while feeling at ease. "Mom, they are such a close family to you. when my brother and I were still children, your brother and his wife had been helping our family as well. All of you are so close. The relationships between you and my uncle and aunts are like me and my brother. How can such close relationships by blood be severed? Besides, I wasn't so heartless as well. I didn't send them to prison. Therefore, Mom, if you can reconcile with my uncle, my aunts, and my cousins, then just do it.
I...won't hold a grudge against them."
Eevonne's mother asked in confusion, "My child, you're so tolerant and sensible, you're even willing to forgive your cousins, but why do you still want to leave me? I know Kingston is good. He's especially good. I can tell from the way he handled the matter today that he is very capable. He is a little older than you, but I'm not against you being together with him. Just...don't leave me, alright?" Eevonne's mother was nearly begging her as she looked at her.
Eevonne's sighed, and then smiled. "Mom, why are you like a child? I am your daughter! Even if you were to beat me to death, I can't hold a grudge against you as well. I'm leaving you not because I hold a grudge and I won’t come back to visit you. I owe a lot of money! I have to clear the debt! I still owe Kingston fifty thousand dollars. That's fifty thousand dollars, Mom! There's nothing between Kingston and I. Nothing at all. The reason I have chosen to leave with him was that I want to be able to pay him back as soon as I've made money. He trusted me so much and helped me so much. I can't just do nothing about it, can't I?
We've got nothing to give him as collateral. I have to follow and go back with him, Mom."
Only then did her mother quickly wipe her tears, go from feeling sorrow to feeling happy, and said, "Yes, yes, that's right. We still have to pay back the money to him. My daughter is right! Alright, Eevonne. Go ahead and first return the money to Mister Yates.
My daughter is really so sensible."
Kingston, who was at the side, was quite touched. In fact, from what he has seen, Eevonne has plenty of flaws, but in short, she was still a responsible person. At the very least, her thoughts were positive. She also had never thought of running away from her debt.
Kingston looked at Eevonne's mother and sighed."Madam, your daughter has actually always been a great girl. It's because you've disliked her since she was a child, which led her to be vain, to want to make something of herself more than many people, and also to feel terrified and inferior. Do you understand that?"
"I understand. I understand. I got it. I almost killed my daughter. I won't do it anymore in the future, Mister Yates. I'm already old, but I can promise that even though they are my relatives, if any of those people dare to bully my daughter in the future, I'll fight that person to death."
Chapter 2629 "Even my nephew can't bully her as well! I will fight him as well!"
Kingston nodded. "That's how it should be. If a mother doesn't protect her daughter, then who else would protect her?"
Eevonne's mother nodded with tears streaming down her face. " Mm-hmm. I got it. That's right, Mister Yates. Eevonne's going to be leaving with you, so please take care of her, and I would like to thank you in advance."
"There's no need for that, madam. I am the one who should be thanking her. Besides, when she gets to the place, she still needs to rely on her own effort," said Kingston.
"Don't worry. I won't make a fake diploma anymore this time and I won't cheat anybody anymore. I've already figured it out. I'll work one job in the morning, and then after I get off work, I'll deliver food at night. I won't let myself be too tired. I'll just work from eight in the morning to midnight every day. It's going to be a little tough this way, but I can still persevere. I hope I can pay back eighty thousand dollars in a year! That's my goal! I have to work hard!" Eevonne said with full confidence.
Kingston and Eevonne's mother looked at her with an encouraging gaze. At that point, the matter relating to Eevonne's family has come to an end. All the things that should be taken care of were handled well. As for those relatives, Eevonne also let them off the hook. If her mother has the intention to reconcile with them, there would still be a way. It was after everything was properly arranged that Eevonne bid her mother farewell, took her luggage with her, and left her house together with Kingston.
Unexpectedly, there were a few neighbors at the gate with money in their hands and were waiting for Eevonne.
She looked at her neighbors in confusion, "sir, what are you... doing here?"
"Eevonne, all of US have actually mistaken you. We're all neighbors who live so close to each other. We shouldn't have belittled you when your family is in trouble. We should've helped you instead. This is not much money. It's just five thousand dollars. Just take it to pay your debt."
Eevonne was speechless.
"Me too. There's me as well, Eevonne. You know that the three children in my family are still studying, but we've just managed to sell some corn a couple of days ago. It's not much, it's just one thousand five hundred dollars, but even a tiny bit of money would help. Just take this to pay back the money you owe. Forgive me. I've been too annoying in the past..."
"My family as well. This is three thousand dollars from my family. Eevonne, when I get my paycheck next month, I'll give you a little again."
"I don't have much too. I only got five hundred dollars..."
Eevonne was speechless. Suddenly, she was covered in tears. She shook her head while tears streamed down her face. "No, there's no need for this, all of you. There's really no need for this.
However, I have to thank all of you. Thank you all so much. Your kind intentions are very much appreciated. In the future... In the future, when I return after I've cleared all of my debt, I'll bring all sorts of gifts for all of you. I... I certainly won't act like how I did in the past anymore this time. Thank you."
Upon saying that, Eevonne bowed to all of them respectfully. She then got into Kingston's car. Throughout the whole journey, Eevonne kept crying.
"What's the matter? Are you still feeling aggrieved?" Kingston asked her.
Eevonne smiled. "І...ПО, I'm just happy. I suddenly feel that life is truly great."
Kingston smiled gently. "Yes, things aren't great most of the time in life, but there are still plenty of great things existing. However, Eevonne, I have something that's not great that I have to tell you to give you a heads up."
Eevonne was stunned. "What...what's the matter, Kingston? Is it that you're actually broke as well and you needed money right away? I'm sorry, Kingston. I... I've turned away the help that those neighbors have offered me just now. Did it...forget to think that you might not have money on you as well?"
"It's not about the money. You don't have to be in a hurry to pay me back. Just pay the bank first," said Kingston.
"Then...what is it?" Eevonne was even more confused.
There was a pause before Kingston said in a slightly miserable tone. "You can't come with me because I have to continue looking for my cousin."
Chapter 2630 Eevonne sighed in relief. "You've scared me to death, Kingston. I thought it was for something else. It's fine, whichever city you're heading to look for your cousin, I'll go to that city to be a delivery person. I still owe you fifty thousand dollars.
If I don't follow you, there's no telling when we will be meeting next. I...I truly don't have any other things that I can give you as collateral. If you don't let me follow you, aren't you afraid that I...run away? That's fifty thousand dollars!"
Eevonne was thinking who in this world would let her owe them fifty thousand dollars and not chase after her for repayment and was even willing to let her go? Would he not be afraid that she would run away without leaving a single trace and not meet him again in this life?
Kingston brushed Eevonne's nose. "Silly girl. You've worked in the city for more than ten years and you've been through all sorts of things, but how are you still so silly?"
Eevonne truly smiled in a silly manner. "Wh-What's the matter, Kingston?"
"I've even been to your house. I know where you stay. Your parents, as well as your brother, are staying there as well.
Where can you run off to?" Kingston asked while smiling.
"That's true. I didn’t even think of that." Eevonne suddenly laughed happily. "This way, I can go to the city I want and settle down there. I can then find a stable job there and then deliver food at night, can't I?"
Kingston smiled. "Of course!"
There was a pause before he asked, "Do you...want to go to South City?"
Eevonne answered without hesitation, "of course! However, South City is more than a thousand kilometers away from here, and it's also the biggest city in the country. There are plenty of talents there. What can a person like me, who didn't even graduate from middle school, do if I were to go to South city? Besides, I don't even know anybody there in South City. If I were to go there, I might need a very, very long time to get used to the palace. Well, I still have a buttload of debt now, it's better for me to not go. When I've cleared my debt, I will certainly go to South City. That's the biggest city in the entire country and its' the fashion capital of the world. I definitely have to go and have a look. But I'll first go to the provincial capital right now, Kingston. I will stay in the provincial capital for the next three years and I won't move elsewhere."
"If I can help you go to South City and find a job there, well it's not exactly a decent job, but it's an honest and stable job, would you... be willing to go?" asked Kingston.
Eevonne looked at Kingston with surprise. "You...Kingston, you're able to help me get to South City? Do you know someone there? Do you have a way? I truly can't tell."
"I can help you get to South City and find a job," Kingston said once again.
Eevonne bit her lips and the look of surprise on her face could not be concealed. "Kingston, I realized that you're an extraordinary person when you were dealing with my relatives at my house. You're alone in a different village, but you're still able to be so calm. That's not something a normal person can do. Actually, you're not a small-time contractor who is leading about ten people, aren't you? You should be a contractor who has done big projects, aren't you?"
As she said that, she lookedat Kingston's car. "You're just driving an ordinary Waltzwagen, but that's because you're a person who likes to keep a low profile. I've got it right, haven't I, Kingston?"
When she was saying that, Eevonne's expression was a little shy and inferior. That expression was quite cute.
Kingston suddenly laughed. 1 'Haha! Normal Waltzwagen!' Others could not tell from the exterior of the car that he was driving at that moment that it was a high-end car. It was enough to compete with the high-end cars of some famous brands. That was a car that Master Sebastian had given to him.
At that time, Master Sebastian told him, "Kingston, you've been driving me around for twenty years. You have better control of cars than me. Tell me, what kind of car do you want? You can pick any of the top cars in the world."
At that time, Master Sebastian intended to let him pick a supercar that was worth more than ten million and give it to him as a gift.
However, Kingston had never been a person who would become arrogant because he was valued. Also, he was a person who knew his limits very well. Master Sebastian's intention was sincere, and Kingston appreciated it, but he did not dare to take the material object.
