Malvolio looked at Eira in puzzlement. "You...what is that?"
Eira opened the bag. "Malvolio, look."
The bag was filled with shiny gold and silver jewelry. Malvolio immediately thought of something. "Eira! Tell me, did you do something bad out there?"
Eira smiled. "Malvolio, why don't you try and think. Even if I wanted to do bad things, where can I go to do i t? If I wanted to rob a jewelry store, how can I do it when I am still at such a young age?"
Malvolio thought that it made sense. After all, his sister was still a child. He softened his tone and asked, "Then, where did you get all this jewelry? Are these real? They are toys, right?"
Eira shook her head. "No, my dad...Delmont was the one who had given these to me."
Eira’s mother spoke up, trembling and in tears." Malvolio, Malvolio, you absolutely can't let that d*mn man snatch your sister away. You have to listen to me.
I am not crazy. I am not crazy. Do you believe me, my son?
"Back then...back then when that man wanted to divorce me, your sister was still at the age when she needed formula powder. I had no money to raise your sister, so I begged him to either give me more living expenses or take Eira away. This way, at least the child would not suffer. However, do you know what that man says? He refused! He said if he were to take Eira with him, it would affect his alone time with that woman. He said he and that woman wanted to have a child of their own. If he were to bring Eira over, then what would she be?"
Speaking of that, Eirwen cried so hard that she was barely able to speak. "At that time, he had just been separated from the child. The child was still so young, but he was not willing to take her in. Now, he suddenly came back and wanted to take her child away? He certainly doesn't have any good intentions. Also, Malvolio, I saw it in the papers two days ago that the thing of that d*mned man, Delmont, his fashion company had been carrying many unexplained financial burdens because they had failed to be listed. His company may be going bankrupt. That means he i s not going to be that rich anymore in the future, so why did he come to forcefully take Eira away?"
