Still Wanna Escape After Stealing My Heart? novel Chapter 2386

Marcus did not answer Yvonne's question. Instead, he furrowed his brows as he was unable to figure it out. "Why did Eva return to the country? Why would she appear outside of Sebastian's office? What's going on?"

Yvonne said with angry grunts. "I find it very strange as well! Since her family is so close to our family, why didn't they come back to take a look when Grandpa passed away? Was it just because they were the people who had saved Grandma's life? That said, how did Eva's grandfather save Grandma's life?"

Marcus sighed. "A few decades ago, which was when my grandpa was young, the Shaw family had always been in the military and politics. At that time, he had been stationed at the borders all year round, and he had offended plenty of criminals surviving at the borders of those lawless regions. Those kinds of people were very cruel. They were no match for my grandpa, so they thought of ways to abduct my grandma. Back then when Eva's grandfather was not the Shaw family’s housekeeper yet, he was his follower. My grandpa had taught him combat skills, marksmanship, and so on. Eva's grandfather was very gifted in this aspect and he was also very bold. After my grandma had been abducted, it was Eva’s grandfather who had infiltrated the criminal's end on his own. He pretended to be a timid person and blended in for a period of time. After that, he risked his life to rescue my grandma. Just as he brought my grandma to a safe area, Eva's grandfather was killed by the criminals." Yvonne was in tears as she heard that. " This...this is so touching. In this day in age, there's actually still...such a loyal servant?"

Marcus smiled. "That’s right. Other than having wronged Aunt Gloria and her mother, my grandpa had always been very just and fair to others, especially those around him. He had always given the Shaw family's relatives the biggest help. He was the same to Eva's grandfather as well, so her grandfather had always been grateful to my grandpa. Otherwise, he wouldn't have given his life to save my grandma when she is in a tough position."

"This way, Eva's family is also considered to have shown a great kindness to the Shaw family, right?" Yvonne’s tone had a touch of helplessness.

Marcus nodded. "Otherwise, why did you think when my grandpa sent my three brothers abroad, he let Eva’s parents follow along as well? On the surface, it was said that they were to take care of my three brothers. In fact, he also wanted to let Eva have a good education and a better starting point in life so that she could have a better future. Think about it, three generations of his family were the Shaw family's maids. Even if they were in the country, no matter how much my grandpa was to take Eva as his own granddaughter, send her to the best college, and live comfortably, what about that? She still can't get into high society in South City and Kidon City."

Yvonne sneered. "Must she get into high society? Could it be that just any lesser won't do? How many people are part of high society? There are more than twenty million people in South City and only a few of them are in high society. The majority of them are ordinary people! Could it be that those ordinary people don't deserve to live? Are they not worthy of marrying and having children? Gosh!"

Marcus wrapped his arm around his wife." This is what you think. This is also what I think. My grandpa, included, was thinking like that as well. However, Eva's parents were not thinking like that. Back then when Eva's grandfather had passed away, my grandpa had made a promise to Eva’s parents that he would agree to any way they wanted their kindness to be repaid. Eva's parents did not ask for anything else, but they just wanted to let their daughter get into high society. They wanted to change their daughter's destiny so that she was able to marry a rich young man in South City or Kidon City and bring honor to the Yerbury family from then on.

"At that time, my grandpa was also in a very difficult position as well. If they said they wanted gold, silver, and precious jewelry, my grandpa would be able to give it to them. However, to let Eva get into high society and marry an elite from South City or Kidon City would only work if the other party was willing. Eva was even different from Ruth, Jennie, and Lori. At least Jennie was the daughter of my grandma's sister. She was truly my family's relative."
