Ch. 2721..2730

Chapter 2721 In order to make his daughter happy, Mister Cain abused his power to bend the law for the first time. He felt that firing an ordinary female employee was truly not a big deal. It was just something as easy as waving his hands. Who would have expected that this woman was actually Kingston's wife? They even had already obtained their marriage license.

At that moment, Mister Cain was stunned. His mouth was wide open and he was unable to say anything for a long while. In the end, a kind of terror, that did not quite match his age, grew in his eyes Mister Cain knew Sebastian's character very well.

Sebastian had never bent the law for his own selfish gains, and he absolutely never allowed his own subordinates to do such a thing as well! This matter has alerted Kingston, which was the equivalent that it alerted Sebastian. After that, whether the Cain family would still have a place in the Ford Group or not was up in the air!

The old man's gaze went from being unwavering initially to having a slight sense of fear, and then he said in a pleading tone to show that he has softened his attitude, "King-well, Mister Yates, it's like this—"

"Cain, let's hold your matters first." Kingston cut off Mister Cain without showing him any mercy at all.

That was basically equivalent to giving Mister Cain a slap in the face. He had a mixed expression on his face and then he smiled awkwardly. "Alright..."

Kingston turned his head around and stared at Deacon, who was already stunned silly, with a sharp gaze.

Deacon said, "Mister...Mister Yates, they said that mistakes done in ignorance can be forgiven. I...didn't know that Eevonne is your... your wife. If I had known that she was your wife, even if you were to lend me some guts, I also wouldn't dare to..."

Actually, there was nothing wrong with what he had said. Also, it was an incomparably sincere sentence. If he had known that Eevonne was Kingston's wife, he would not have come to his turf to create trouble. He had embarrassed himself so much that he wanted to find a hole in the ground to hide inside. At that moment, there was an additional person, who was Kingston. It looked like he was going to be finished right there that day, and the chances of him being doomed were much higher. He heard that Kingston was very good in combat! He was a special bodyguard that had been following Sebastian for many years.

Kingston laughed coldly. "Mister Lowe! Such a big company like the Ford Group has never divided people into different classes.

Even if it was the time when the true master of the Ford Group, Sebastian, was running the company, he also would eat at the same restaurant as the rest of the company's employees. The people who sat and ate at the restaurant would consist of the janitor lady and also Sebastian, the person with the highest power in the Ford Group. The dishes that they would be eating would come from the same pots and pans! I have never expected that a rather small- scale downstream company like yours that's within the medium range would actually divide people into different classes!"

"I...I didn't." Deacon appeared slightly wronged. He was taking the initiative to be friendly to Kingston. However, it seemed that Kingston was not going to buy his actions.

Kingston sneered again, "since you don't give people into different classes, then why would you explain to me that if you had long known Eevonne was my wife a long time ago, you wouldn't have come to expose her? In other words, what you meant was that if Eevonne was really not my wife and was simply an extremely ordinary employee of the Ford Group, you would have never let her go. If you're not dividing people into different classes, then what could it be?"

"I—" Deacon replied.

"Also!" Kingston suddenly cut Deacon off. His voice was also as cold as a cold sword. "Eevonne is a recognized good employee in the Ford Group. She has never harassed you, Mister Lowe. She is working diligently and properly in her company, so why did you travel the distance from your city to come over and openly slander my wife? Why is that?"

Deacon was stammering for a long while and was unable to say anything.

"Therefore, you have to compensate US with a fee for not doing anything the whole morning but keeping you accompanied here!

Also, since I'm the one who is asking you for compensation, it won't be as little as a couple of million dollars, what I want is ten million!" "Ten...ten million?" Deacon was completely frozen.

Chapter 2722 Kingston did not look at Deacon, he just looked at the human resource manager without any expression on his face. "Go on then.

Get the company's lawyer to come over and immediately issue a demand letter to Deacon's company. If he is three days late for payment from the deadline we set, we will increase the compensation to twenty million. If he is five days late than the deadline we set, the compensation amount would be increased to forty million. By that extension, if he is a week late, it will be increased to eighty million. If he is another ten days later, the compensation would be increased to one hundred million!"

Speaking of that, Kingston smiled. "I know. You can disagree with me, Mister Cain. We'll simply see you in court then. I think with the Ford Group's power, we won't need too long to fight with a mediocre downstream company like yours. It'll just take three years. I think that if the Ford Group were to spend three years going to court with you, we can forcibly drag you on until you're finished, can't we? To the Ford Group, we would be the party that filed the lawsuit, so it'll be enough for our company to form a special department to deal with your company. Your company, on the other hand, won’t need to think about whether you would survive or not in those three years. You can directly let your company die. Our company won't go after a company that has gone bankrupt, closed down, and died. Don't worry."

Kingston's tone did not seem like he was making a joke at all. He was very serious. This trick was what he had learned from Sebastian. It was called crushing the opposite party in one go, making him never dare to be smug like a clumsy troublemaker again in the future. As expected, after Deacon heard what he said, he immediately cried in fear. Yes, he was a director of a company and was also considered to be someone powerful.

Three hours ago, when he had just entered the Ford Group, he was still so spirited and so quick to show his strength. When he was in front of Eevonne, in particular, he simply was crushing her. who would have expected that at that moment, Deacon, a grown man, would be crying so hard that his face was covered in tears?

Deacon sobbed and snorted. "Mister Yates, I...I didn't know that Eevonne is your wife. I really didn't know. I didn't mean to offend.

If I had known that Eevonne was your wife, how could I possibly treat her like that? I hope that a great man like yourself would forgive the faults of a petty man. Mistakes done in ignorance can be forgiven. I'm begging you, please. Alright?"

Everybody has a common issue. That was if a person was in a desperate plight, the person would try just anything. At that moment, Deacon had already forgotten that Kingston had also questioned Phoebe just a moment earlier. He simply sang the same old tune again.

Eevonne was Eevonne. she has always been herself. Could it be that just because her identity has changed from being a grossroot to the wife of the company's director, all of them would not dare to bully her anymore? He even had the cheek to say that mistakes done in ignorance can be forgiven. Could it be that the grassroots deserved to be bullied by others? Those people actually came to her door to fight with her. She clearly had already worked very hard, amended all of her mistakes, and she clearly was already doing a great job and had already produced results, but she still had to be thoroughly interrogated by others?

"Because you didn't know that Eevonne is my wife, even when Eevonne working in your company was already a matter from ten years ago, even when she had never looked for you and talked about how you used to manipulate her, you still came to the internal part of the company to expose her! Mister Lowe! Did you feel your action is profoundly righteous? Is it your life goal to put a girl, who once contributed to your company, who has now transformed from an ugly duckling into a beautiful swan through ten years of hard work, who finally could stay in this city, back into the deepest ends of hell again? Are you very proud? You're so shameless, arrogant, and smug! You look so ugly that you can just have yourself killed! However, if you want to die, don't die in the Ford Group! It's bad luck for US. Once you've gone out of the Ford Group's entrance, you can die anytime!"

Chapter 2723 What he said was extremely harsh! If it was someone else who heard what Kingston had said, the person might truly take it to heart and end his life. Kingston knew that his words were harsh as well. However, what did it have to do with him? He did not kill anybody or set any place on fire, so if the person were to die, then that person deserved it! He was simply that harsh!

Deacon was the first one to drive others to the brink of death anyway. Since he had already made up his mind to force a young girl to a dead end and force her to death, then he should be the first to die!

"Don't wail at our company anymore. You can either get out and die or go home to wait for the demand letter to be delivered.

Also, while you're at that, get the money for US prepared." Kingston looked at Deacon without any expression on his face.

"Mister Yates..." Deacon said.

"Usher the guest out!" Kingston was incomparably straightforward.

Deacon grabbed the corners of the table with both his hands. "No. Ее- I mean, Missus Yates, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Seeing that I...

seeing that I used to be your boss, could you...save my life? I'm begging you."

Eevonne looked at Deacon calmly. "Mister Lowe, I have never begged you to save my life. Even when I was at my worst, when I was hugging my legs and crying by myself on the streets, or when I had no way out anymore and wanted to die, I had never begged you to save my life. Not only have I not begged you, but I've never looked for you and asked you to make up for all the unfair treatments you've shown me back then, what I never would have expected was that you actually hunted and came after me to the point of coming to my company. I already have so many people in the company testifying for me that I didn't falsify anything, didn't lie to the company, and my performance at work is very outstanding. However, you still wouldn't let me go. Have you ever thought about it? Are you simply not going to stop until I am dead? I won't hope that you can save my life. I'm only asking for you to not hunt me down. Can you promise me that?"

Deacon was speechless.

"Up until now, 1 still don't know why you leave the countless matters of your company aside, and you insist on getting rid of me so viciously? Г11 ask you the same thing, have I done something as heinous as digging up your ancestor's grave?" As Eevonne said that, she was already crying.

If Kingston had not rushed over in time, she truly would have been finished off right there that day. A person's mind truly could be so vicious that there was no limit at all. Since he was able to be so vicious, why did he ask for mercy? How ugly!

"I know that I'm wrong. I'll never dare to do it again. There are elderly and children in the family that depend on me. I even have two children studying abroad. My wife's health is not too good as well. I...the reason I did this was that I truly wanted to obtain the Ford Group's orders too badly. However, you...you're working in the Ford Group. I was really disgusted when I saw that. The main thing is that I'm afraid you would secretly pull some tricks and create trouble for me in the future when we're collaborating.

Therefore, I was thinking to be heartless and get rid of you. This way, our upcoming collaboration with the Ford Group will be good for several years. I can't let the future of my company be all ruined in your hands. The other thing is..."

Speaking of that, Deacon glanced at Dash, who kept looking down and not saying a word. Throughout the entire time, Dash had never raised his head. Nobody could see what kind of expression he had at that time, when Deacon thought about it, he did all that because he was more or less egged on by Dash at that time. It turned out that Dash's determination to get rid of Eevonne from the Ford Group was no less than his. He seemed to have been used by Dash!

"Dash!" Deacon suddenly called out. "why are you not saying anything? Don't you forget that I initially did not know that Everyone was working at the Ford Group. It was because I heard you telling me that Eevonne is working in the Ford Group that we came over together. Don't you have anything to say now that we're at this moment?"

Dash still kept his head down and did not say a word.

Kingston, however, shouted unexpectedly, "Mister Long, he is asking you a question. Lift up your head."

Chapter 2724 Dash shuddered. It was not that he did not want to lift his head. He simply did not dare to.

"Dash Long!" Kingston suddenly shouted angrily. "Lift your head up!"

Dash turned his head around to look at Phoebe and then secretly glanced at Mister Cain again.

"Since you have the guts to come to our company to create trouble, you should have the courage to face all these!" Kingston looked at Dash aggressively. "My wife is a pushover, but I'm not easily bullied! At my age, this is my first time seeing a person from a company from the downstream sector, a person who came to our door to beg for food, coming to threaten US. Aren't you putting the cart in front of the horse? You are living off US, but you still want to drive us out?"

Dash was speechless.

"Lift your head up!" Kingston ordered again.

Dash had no choice but to lift up his head to look at Kingston and Eevonne. It was at that moment that everyone saw Dash's face was so red that he really looked maroon in color. He was truly ugly!

"M-Mister Yates, I...I have no idea..." Halfway through his sentence, he suddenly realized that he was a fool. These words have already been spoken by Phoebe and Deacon.mWas he going to say it the third time? Would he not be making a fool of himself then?

"You didn't know that Eevonne has a husband or did Eevonne not tell you?" Kingston asked sarcastically.

Dash was speechless. To be honest, Eevonne had told him and she repeatedly emphasized to him that she would not pester him anymore and she already has a boyfriend and was going to be married soon. However, he did not believe her. In Dash's mind, he had always felt confident. He was already very outstanding himself. He was so outstanding that his annual salary was about ten million dollars and his girlfriend was from an eminent family in South City. How many outstanding men like him were there in the entire country? It was truly a huge bargain for Eevonne when she dated him back then!

After he broke up with Eevonne, even if Dash were to think using his big toe, he would also be able to figure out that it was impossible for Eevonne to find another man better than him. Even if it was a man just like Dash or even a man slightly less than him Eevonne would not be able to get close to the man as well, let alone a man who was better than Dash. He was that confident! He originally thought that if he appeared by Eevonne's side as the director of a company, Eevonne certainly would look at him longingly, follow him, and pester him like a fangirl. However, Eevonne did not act that way. He did not even see the information that they used to know each other from Eevonne’s eyes. In Eevonne's eyes, Dash was a stranger to her. That was a huge blow to Dash. Later, Dash personally saw the calmness and competency when Eevonne was handling business matters.

Eevonne was no longer the same person in the past. In Dash's mind, he actually felt a sense of defeat. This sense of defeat made him feel exasperated and made him so crazy that he dug out all of Eevonne's embarrassing matters and made them publicly known in the Ford Group. The reason he planned to do that was that he had always watched Eevonne fail, be dejected, be lost, and be ugly beyond measure.

However, he had never expected that Eevonne would take the initiative to admit to the Ford Group about her past mistakes and her relationship with him. In that case, Dash became even more passive! The more passive he got, the more exasperated he was. In the end, he was so furious that he did not even realize he was already in a confrontation with Eevonne. He simply wanted to stomp on Eevonne and let her be the public enemy, when that happened, Eevonne certainly would prostrate at his feet and beg him, ‘Dash, the man I like and love the most in this life is you. I know I am not worthy to be with you. Гт not asking to be your wife. I'm not hoping that you can marry me in a spectacular manner. I know I'm not qualified for that. I only hope that you can pity me. Let me be a pitiful worm by your side. I love you too much, Dash. Just take me in, alright?'

Chapter 2725 'Just take it as I'm begging you.' Dash wanted to see Eevonne in that state very badly. Therefore, step by step, he kept forcing Eevonne aggressively.

Eevonne, on the other hand, had always been taking whatever he threw at her calmly, and was easily able to think of a way to fight back She even expressed that it would not matter if their company did not collaborate with Dash, she clearly was driving him away. At that moment, that pitiful person in the past, who was extremely humble, already had the guts to drive him away directly. She even dared to reject him.

At that time, Dash's fury was already raging like a tsunami. He almost did not consider anything else anymore. He simply wanted to crush Eevonne, and then subdue her. He simply wanted to make Eevonne an obedient servant at his feet. Therefore, he had to shamelessly collaborate with the Ford Group and also forcefully call her directly or talk to her face-to-face over and over again to make Eevonne leave the company. He directly slandered Eevonne by saying that it was because she still liked him that she was unwilling to let go. Even when Eevonne had repeatedly stressed that she already has a boyfriend, he had never believed her! Even if she truly had a boyfriend, he certainly would just be a common worker! In comparison to Dash, how could that man possibly fight against Dash?

Besides, Dash also had help from Ford Group's Mister Cain, as well as his girlfriend, Phoebe, so it would be a piece of cake for him to get rid of Eevonne. Not only did he want to get rid of Eevonne, but he even wanted to block every way out for Eevonne. He wanted to publicly embarrass Eevonne at her workplace and let me be at her wit's end, and then obediently submit to him. He wanted to let Eevonne know that he could be in control of her life and death.

However, never in a million years, not even if he had cracked his head, would Dash expect that Eevonne truly has a boyfriend. Not only did Eevonne have a boyfriend, but the boyfriend that she got was even more outstanding than him.

He had more of an imposing air and was more powerful than Dash. If Eevonne's boyfriend wanted to crush Dash, he truly would do it in a jiffy.

"What's the matter, Mister Long? Do you need to think that long to answer my question?" Kingston did not have the intention to let Dash go at all.

Dash said, "No, Mister Yates, it's not like that. I actually was quite... good in the past. I'm very outstanding in every aspect. Everything that I got today was what I've fought hard for. I'm not that bad. Maybe I've suffered too much when I was pestered by Eevonne back then, so I have a deep grudge. I...am sorry. I shouldn't have been like that. Everything is my fault. Mister Yates..."

Seeing that Kingston was unmoved, Dash turned his gaze toward Eevonne again. "Eevonne, well...seeing that we used to date, seeing that we—"

"If I had known you're such a vicious person with an incredibly dark side, I never would have dated you, Dash. I regret it very much now for choosing you back then. I feel my husband now is ten thousand times better than you. Mister Long, you don't have to apologize anymore. It's actually useless even if you had said it. You're the person who brought Deacon in. He has to compensate our company, but what about you? what do you plan to do? Could you be thinking that because your girlfriend's father is one of our company's managing directors, you would be let off the hook? Oh yes, speaking of your girlfriend, I suddenly remembered something."

At that moment, Eevonne glanced at Phoebe very innocently. "I'm sorry, Miss Cain. Your father is a managing director of the company, but so is my husband. In terms of family relations, I seem to be a little higher in rank than you. You, as well as your father, probably don't have the right to fire me."

After a pause, she said again, "I have to tell you about something. Your boyfriend is someone I've dumped and did not want. Sorry about that."

Chapter 2726 Dash and Phoebe both looked at Eevonne together with their faces flushed. Phoebe said, "Eevonne... Miss York, no...

Missus Yates..."

Eevonne smiled calmly. "I know what you meant in the past. Dash is your boyfriend. You don't allow your boyfriend to have such a mediocre ex-girlfriend like me, and you have a sense of jealousy as soon as you see me. Even if I was already an ex-girlfriend. Even if I was already someone in his past. You're still unwilling to let me go. It is also because you feel that stepping on me is as easy as stepping on an ant, so it didn't matter to you. In any case, you simply can't stand the sight of any one of Dash's ex-girlfriends. You feel disgusted and you think they are an eyesore! Therefore, even if you knew from the very beginning that I was very hardworking at work and I have never lied to the company, you didn't care either! You are the daughter of the company's director. You’re a young lady from an eminent family!

You're willful! You have the power to decide whether a person lives or dies! Isn't that right?"

Phoebe was speechless.

"Miss Cain, have you ever thought that you're wrongfully accusing, slandering, defaming me and you're dragging my name through the mud? You and I don't hold any grudges against each other. It's just that my former boyfriend is your current boyfriend. Do you have to viciously put me at a dead end for this? On what grounds can you do that? I'm sorry, Miss Cain, but you'll be receiving a letter from my lawyer. Just wait for the court summons then! There's also another thing!"

Eevonne looked at Mister Cain again. "Mister Cain, I've contributed to the Ford Group. You've fired me without any rhyme or reason, should you be giving me a hefty sum as compensation? Since it's something you have said, you must certainly fulfill it. Please first pay me a huge amount of compensation! After this, I will still come to the company to work.

Because I'm Missus Yates. Because out of my husband's twenty percent of shares, ten percent of it is mine. Nobody can stop me! I also have to tell all of you something that I had never told before! On the first day I got off the plane and came to this city, the person who came to the airport to pick me up is the true master of the Ford Group, Sebastian's wife, Sabrina!"

Everyone present was stunned as soon as she said that, who was Sabrina? Everyone present knew Sabrina, but only very, very few people have met her. Very few people have met Sebastian, let alone Sabrina. However, Eevonne was able to say in front of so many people that Sabrina was the one who went to pick her up at the airport. Eevonne did not have the guts to lie about this.

Eevonne looked at everyone present coldly. "I know I've made mistakes in the past. I know that I'm not perfect. I know that I've used to lie. I know! I have pestered my ex-boyfriend in the past! I have a million flaws! However, I am not that bad to the point of breaking the law, right? I'm not even punished by the law! Also, I've already been working very hard to change! I clearly knew that Kingston and my relationship is enough for US to die for each other. I clearly knew that even the true director's wife of the Ford Group also came to personally pick me up. However, I have never thought of relying on their connections to get into the Ford Group, and enjoy all of you looking up to me! I have never thought about it before! I started working from the most junior position, a tally clerk. When I joined the company, I used my identity as someone who only studied until middle school. I have never lied to anybody in the Ford Group! After I met Dash for the first time, I've already confessed to the company about everything very honestly. That's everything! At that time, the high-ranking executives of the Ford Group had a discussion! The company collectively thought that my past did not matter much. On the contrary, the company thought I was very brave and I was very efficient at work.

Therefore, the company has decided that I won't be fired! Mister Long! Mister Long!"

Chapter 2727 "They would rather give up your company than let me go! Do you understand that?"

Dash was speechless. If Deacon was so embarrassed that he wanted to hide in a hole on the ground earlier, then at that moment, Dash was the one who was feeling as embarrassed and ostracized as Deacon did. His face was already extremely hot, and like a rising bun, every layer of his face was about to explode.

Eevonne kept looking straight at him. "Just because I used to date you, you repeatedly forced me, and you played tricks to corner me over and over again! Is there a difference between what you did and how I pestered you back then? I kept pestering you back then because I could not move on from you! What about you? How despicable and nasty are you right now? Cross your heart and ask yourself, is your conscience clear?

Mister Long!"

"Enough!" Dash suddenly lifted his head. His face has already become purplish-red in color, but his expression was very sincere.

"I'm sorry, Eevonne. I've failed you. I was too cocky. I thought that I could control you. I thought that I could trample on you however I wanted. If you fought back, even if it was just a little, I would feel that I would lose face. Therefore, I kept making things difficult for you. I kept pushing the limit. Actually, I've also realized later on that you were drastically different from before and you've changed a lot. I...to be honest, I even like you a little. Don't blame Phoebe anymore. The reason she targeted you like that was that she realized I was a little distracted by you. I even actually called out your name in front of her once. She was so shocked that she had a huge fight with me. In fact, I was very shocked as well at that time. How could I call out your name without realizing it? I have been reluctant to admit that I have fallen for you once again. I hate that I'm such a loser. The more I hate myself, the more I hate you! I hate that you messed up everything for me. Therefore, I kept wanting to take you away from my thoughts and drive you out of the bottom of my heart. That's the reason why I kept making things difficult for you over and over again and forcing you to a dead end. I'm the one who got Deacon here as well. The reason I got Deacon to come over was that I wanted to make myself realize clearly that you have not changed at all and you're still an incredibly nasty person after Deacon exposed you. I wanted Deacon to come forward and testify against you so that I can completely get rid of you from my heart. However, it's at this moment that I realized clearly that I am wrong. All of these are my fault. We've already broken up. We don't owe each other anything anymore. I shouldn't have closed in on you like that anymore. I shouldn't have gone overboard with how I treat you, and I shouldn't have forced you so viciously into a dead end."

Speaking of that, Dash actually smiled miserably.

"In the end, not only did I fail to force you into a dead end, but I pushed myself into a dead end. Eevonne, you've also shown me once again how you've changed, your ability, and your strength. To be honest, you've already exceeded me greatly. Regardless if it's mentally or professionally, you've exceeded me. I, on the other hand, was even worse than a clown. I've shot myself in the foot. I'll accept my punishment. No matter how much the Ford Group is going to fine me, I won't refute. I'll resign as soon as I return to my company and I'll leave the fashion industry from now on. I certainly will learn from this painful lesson, and I'll be a righteous person in the future. At the very moment and at this place, I won't be asking anyone to forgive me."

Upon saying that, Dash looked at Phoebe again. "Phoebe, I've failed you. You're a good girl. I'm the one who made you feel jealous of Eevonne. I've also implicated your father. I'm sorry. If you guys wanted to punish someone, punish me then. It's all my fault. Eevonne is a very strong and good girl who has the courage to make corrections. We've gone overboard with how we treated her."

In the end, Dash looked at Eevonne and Kingston again. "Phoebe is innocent in this matter. Spare her, alright? I will immediately break up with her."

Upon saying all that, he looked at everyone present calmly and firmly, and his eyes landed on Eevonne in the end. After that, he stood up and bowed deeply to Eevonne. "Eevonne, I'm sorry."

Chapter 2728 Eevonne did not expect that Dash would suddenly become so sincere. Everyone who was present also did not expect it.

Suddenly, Eevonne has nothing to say anymore, she turned her head over to look at Kingston. Kingston was looking at Phoebe and Mister Cain.

At that moment, Mister Cain also stood up with a regretful expression and sighed very deeply. "WelL.I've never bent the law for selfish gains all my life. My daughter begged me. I was thinking, I don't have anything I would ask for in life anymore at my age, and I just hope that my daughter can live happily. I was thinking that she’s just an ordinary employee of the company anyway, it wouldn't matter to just fire her. I have never considered how deeply I would hurt that ordinary employee by doing so. Dash is wrong. But I'm worse! If a person made a mistake by accident or if a young person made a mistake, God would forgive that person. However, once a person like me, who has the power to decide where a person lives or dies, made a wrong decision or if I still continued when I clearly knew it was unfair, then I truly can’t be forgiven. I really am wrong and I don't deserve to be forgiven.

From now on, I'll resign from being one of the managing directors of the Ford Group. I would also..."

Speaking of that, Mister Cain looked at Eevonne. "You're a good person. I've seen your ability at work and your achievements since the day you joined the company. It's an old man like me who was too selfish. I'm sorry, my child."

Upon saying that, Mister Cain bent his body and bowed deeply to Eevonne. Eevonne instantly did not know what to do anymore.

"Sir ...well, Mister Cain..."

"My child...I wish you will rise higher and higher in rank in the Ford Group. Also, I'm very assured. I know that you would never rely on your husband's position to gain personal benefits and oppress others. You are truly a person who's down-to-earth and willing to work hard. Kingston did not judge you wrongly and did not pick the wrong wife for himself. I will not worry this way. It would be the best development for everyone in the Ford Group to behave like you. My child, you are the pride of Ford Group! I, myself, also feel proud! Thank you for teaching me a lesson today! From today...1'11 go home and retire."

He said it so sincerely and there was a catch in his throat. There was plenty of reluctance and remorse in his toe. Anybody could tell how good his attitude was. Upon saying that, he turned around and left.

Eevonne called out to him from behind him with a catch in her throat as well. "Mister Cain, you've indeed made a mistake. I'm particularly angry at you as well. Perhaps God won't forgive you, but we're too far away from God. There are way too many people that He had to be in charge of as well, so maybe He had long forgotten about us. Therefore, even if God doesn't forgive you, I... forgive you!"

"What?" Mister Cain thought that he had misheard it.

"I forgive you! I'm willing to forgive you!" Tears were welling up in Eevonne's eyes, she has always been a soft-hearted girl. After she saw others playing tricks, she also got the courage to go head- on with others until the very end. However, she was weak against others who truly and sincerely repent. Who in this world would not make mistakes? Everyone would make mistakes.

Eevonne, herself, had once made a severe mistake. If Kingston and Sabrina had not tolerated her and given her courage, how could she have her achievements at that moment?

Besides, Mister Cain has been diligent all his life and truly has never harmed others for his own benefit. This was the only time and it was because he loved his daughter too much. Therefore, Eevonne chose to forgive him.

"My child..." Mister Cain said.

"Do you know why? As an employee, I hate you. However, personally, I'm especially envious of your daughter for having a father like you. she is too blessed with happiness."

Chapter 2729 "How great would it be if I have a father like you, who would do anything for me regardless of if it was right or wrong just for the sake of my happiness? I know and I can understand you. You've investigated me, so you know that I've always been diligent and hardworking since I came to the Ford Group. Likewise, I also know you. All these years you've been in charge of the Ford Group, you've never used your power for personal gains. You've never been unreasonable as well. This was your only time. It was for the sake of your daughter. Therefore, I forgive you."

Eevonne was very sincere with her words. Mister Cain respected her very much when he heard that. He looked at Kingston with his face reddened. "Kingston, you really have a keen eye and you've got yourself a good wife. She is very amazing. She is worthy of you. II "Mister Cain, since Eevonne is not going to hold you responsible anymore, just stay on then." Even if Eevonne did not say anything, Kingston also would not hold Mister Cain responsible for his mistake.

They have been working together for so many years, and Mister Cain has always looked after Kingston very much.

Kingston was not in the company for so many years and the responsibility that he held was the least as well. However, Mister Cain has never criticized Kingston and whatnot. Kingston knew everything very well.

"No!" Mister Cain refused resolutely. "I'm old. I indeed should be stepping down. I would affect the development of young people if I stay in this position. In the future, I would still make a mistake again if I got confused for a moment.

So, Kingston, don't persuade me anymore. I've decided to leave. Also, I'll have you take care of my twenty percent of the shares for me for the time being."

"Mister Cain, this..." Kingston said.

Mister Cain smiled gently. "But, Mister Yates, this old man has an unreasonable favor to ask of you. I wonder if you can promise me."

"Go ahead, Mister Cain. As long as it's something I can do, I will certainly promise you!" Kingston said immediately.

"I want..." Mister Cain looked at Phoebe. "I want to let my daughter, Phoebe, start working at the company from the most entry-level position like Eevonne, and then through working hard one step at a time, get a proper job so that she could support herself. Do you think that's alright?"

While saying that, Mister Cain looked at his daughter. "Phoebe, you won't object to my decision, right?"

Phoebe immediately cried. "Dad, I won't object. I'm sorry, Dad, I'm the one who got you in this position. As long as Mister and Missus Yates agree, I am willing to even clean the washrooms in the company."

Phoebe looked at Eevonne and Kingston again. "Mister and Missus Yates, can you...please give me a chance? I promise you that I will certainly work hard. As long as the company wants me, I can start working as a janitor. I'm not afraid of being dirty, having it tough, and being tired! I certainly will learn from you and start getting on my feet by taking one step at a time! Is that alright?"

Speaking of that, Phoebe suddenly smiled miserably. "It doesn't matter anyway. With my tainted past, I think the company probably wouldn't want me. I won't mind. Even if the company doesn't want me, I'll rely on my own efforts to find a job out there in the future. This is considered me...using my own actions to apologize to Eevonne. I'm sorry, Eevonne. I'm not going to ask for you guys to forgive me."

Upon saying that, Phoebe also bowed deeply to Eevonne. After that, she held her father's elbow and said, "Let's go, Dad."

"Alright!" said Mister Cain.

"Hold on!" Kingston called out to Mister Cain. "I will discuss with the other directors whether Mister Cain is to stay or not, but Phoebe can stay. I believe Phoebe certainly could take over her father's position in the future. I believe our company would certainly have an outstanding female managing director in the near future."

Phoebe looked at Kingston in disbelief. "Is what you said true?"

Kingston smiled. "Of course, it's true."

"Thankyou, Mister and Missus Yates," Phoebe said gratefully.

Kingston, however, smiled. "Eevonne would be shy if you address her as Missus Yates now because we haven't held a wedding reception yet. However, I'll take this opportunity to announce that Eevonne and I will be having a wedding reception!"

Chapter 2730 They would be having a wedding reception? That news came too suddenly for everyone.

Dash and Deacon, who were originally looking for a hole in the ground to hide in, could not help but lift their heads and looked at Eevonne. They have already announced their wedding so their relationship certainly must be true. Both Dash and Deacon were feeling more regretful than the other. They regretted bullying others too much. They regretted that not only did they not give others a chance to turn over a new leaf, but they even wanted to get rid of the person.

What happened in the end? Not only did they not completely get rid of her, but they completely blocked off all of their way out.

Seeing that everyone in the reception room was having a wild celebration, Dash and Deacon left the Ford Group with disappointment. As soon as they got out of the entrance, both of them started fighting each other crazily. Both of them beat up each other into a pulp and they even yanked off a few strands of each other's hair.

From a distance, both Sabrina and Sebastian were sitting in a car and watching everything.

Sabrina said with great disgust, "People say that when women fight, they would yank each other's hair and scratch the other person's face with their nails. Why are these men fighting like that as well? Deacon is already old, after all. He is no match for Dash, but he scratched Dash's face up so much that it looked like he had been clawed by a chicken. Look at the two of them fighting like that, Sebastian. Do you think we've gone overboard?"

Sebastian shook his head. Getting Deacon into Dash's line of sight and then unintentionally letting Dash know that Deacon was Eevonne's former boss were all the things that Sebastian had his men do in secret. Sebastian has always been a ruthless person. It would be impossible for him and Sabrina, even Kingston included, to help Evonne for the rest of her life. If he wanted to treat what was troubling Eevonne, then he must use an aggressive method on Eevonne.

If Eevonne could get through on her own in this battle, then in the future, Eevonne certainly would be invincible.

Sebastian was willing to help Eevonne like that mainly because she had great talent. She has great coordinating abilities and is clever. It was just that she was not resilient and she has low self-esteem and was vain since childhood.

It was not a big problem. Once she has been rid of all those bad characteristics, she would be a person with good potential. Sebastian had already figured it all out that there would only be a few results after getting Deacon involved.

One of them was that Eevonne might become a coward after seeing Deacon, and she would not know how to handle it, which was the worst possible scenario.

However, Sebastian felt that Eevonne was not that bad. The best scenario that Sebastian had thought of was that after Deacon came over, both of them would be surprised when he and Eevonne met each other, but as the boss of the company and also her senior, Deacon should be open-minded. At best, he would mock Eevonne a little after seeing her, but he would still tolerate her and encourage her in the end.

On the other hand, the best way for Eevonne to behave was to not be resentful and furious after seeing Deacon but remain neither arrogant nor humble, and then entertain Deacon professionally and collaborate together with him. That would be the best situation that Sebastian could imagine. He also felt that things might develop in this direction. In that case, everyone would be happy.

What he never would have expected was that a man like Deacon, who was also considered to be a successful person, would be so petty. A human's mind was truly hard to predict. Sometimes it was not that a person's inherent flaws would never be exposed or were nonexistent. Instead, it was just a matter of whether there were appropriate chances or not.

Once some people got the chance, their inherent flaws would be completely exposed.

Deacon never would have expected that Eevonne would become this strong and would not be afraid of him at all from the bottom of her heart! This was originally a very, very big chance for him to work with the top conglomerate in the country, but it was all ruined because of her.
