"Ruth is my maternal aunt's daughter. She is also a true relative of the Shaw family. But what about Eva? Everybody knew that the Yerbury family were maids of the Shaw family for generations. Which person from high society would be willing to humble himself to marry a daughter of a maid?
Unless that man was willing to do so himself and they are truly in love, then that would work. However, how can my grandpa tell if that person is willingly doing so? Only Eva, herself, can fight for this kind of love. How can my grandpa just carelessly agree? My grandpa knew it best that family status was something that had been existing since ancient times. It existed out in the open in the past, but it's in an invisible form now. This was something that can't be helped.
"In the end, my grandpa truly could not think of a way anymore, so he could only let little Eva and her parents go abroad together. It's considered as letting her further her studies and become a better version of herself. Eva's parents also know that letting Eva become a better version of herself, grow up abroad, adopt the mindset and receive education abroad, and attend the best college was considered a shortcut. In the future, even if she were to return to the country, in terms of status, she would be considered of a higher class than others. Therefore, they went abroad with my brothers. When my brothers came back this time, Eva and her parents originally also wanted to come back as well.
However, if they were to do so, nobody would be around to handle all sorts of matters over there, so Eva's parents couldn't come back."
Yvonne nodded. "I understood, but the question is, why did Eva suddenly return at this moment?"
Marcus shook his head. "I am not too sure..."
There was a pause before he looked at Yvonne apologetically. "Yvonne, no matter what, Eva is a part of the Shaw family. We can't let her stay at the police station. I will have to first bail her out."
Yvonne nodded. "Mm-hmm. Hurry up and bail her out sooner then."
"Alright. My wife is the most understanding." Marcus kissed Yvonne on her forehead.
Without any further delay, after Marcus quickly dealt with some documents, he drove to the police station. When he got to the place where Eva was detained, Marcus saw that his three brothers were also there. "Keegan, Caelus, and Lokni, why are you guys here?" Marcus asked with confusion.
In the past couple of days, his three brothers had been staying at the hotel. Once the flight tickets and paperwork for leaving the borders had all been settled, they had to immediately leave the country. They were not allowed back in the country if there were no urgent matters. Marcus had never expected that his three brothers would actually know that Eva was back. They even knew she was at the police station! At an instant, Marcus was suspecting that Eva's return this time had something to do with his three brothers.
However, Marcus never expected that his eldest brother, Keega, immediately scolded, "You still had to cheeks to talk about it! Eva has returned to pay her respect to Grandpa. It's just that her flight was delayed. As she had not returned to South City for more than twenty years, she asked the driver for directions after she got off the plane. She then heard from the driver that Sebastian was the one who had been handling every matter of the Shaw family, so Eva just wanted to go and thank Sebastian. In the end, do you know how your good wife scolded her? She cursed her a slut! Eva is considered our sister!" Keegan was very confident.
Marcus could not say anything as well. He could only pick the most important question to ask. "Where is Eva?"
"She will be out soon after all the paper is done." Just as Keegan finished his words, Eva walked out of the detention room.
When she saw Eva in a wretched state, Marcus immediately called out, "Eva?"
"Marcus..." Eva burst out crying with
grievance while running and jumping into Marcus' arms at the same time.
Marcus was speechless.
