After he asked that question, Marcus already knew what was going on. His parents should be talking about the matter of Yvonne condemning Eva at the Ford Group. Perhaps once Eva was released, she told her parents, and her parents made a call to Marcus’ parents. After all, she was a pampered girl. She could not stand suffering a tiny bit of disadvantage at all. After she had a little disadvantage, she had to tell her parents.
Without waiting for his parents to reply, Marcus took over the phone that was in his father's hand and listened to what the person on the other end said. On the other end of the call, the woman was complaining in tears. "Sir and madam, our family, the Yerbury family, had been utmost loyal to the Shaw family. Our family of three followed the three youngest masters and had been taking care of them since their childhood. We have taken meticulous care of them. We truly have done our duty with our very best. We only have one child, Eva. She had just returned to the country, and once she returned to the country...Sir and madam, you have to seek justice for our Eva. To think that back then, for the sake of the old madam, Eva's grandfather truly had given up his life..." She sobbed.
"I know, Mister and Missus Yerbury," Marcus said at that moment.
On the other end of the call, Eva's mother stopped crying. Instead, she asked cautiously in fear, "Ah, is that Master Marcus? Master Marcus, is that you?"
Marcus was still very polite, but he had anger raging within. "I am Marcus, Missus Yerbury." "Master Marcus, Eva is just a little eager. Do you know why Eva would be eager? She didn't want you guys to worry for her anymore. She had simply secretly gone on a blind date. Little girls would have moments when they’re mischievous. Has she done anything heinous that warrants her to be sent to the police station? She is a child from a family of maids after all.
Nobody cared and loved her. If a girl from the top most noble family in the world had secretly gone over to Mister Ford’s office to check it out and mistaken him for someone else, it may turn out to be a good story. Everyone would think that this girl is very cute. Cute and also naughty, and was particularly bold. Look at that! This girl was able to do what others can't. After all, she is different from the ordinary family. What happens when it's Eva in this story instead? We are from a family of maids. Could it be that children whose families were maids can't make a single mistake in life? Once she has done something slightly out of line, she has to be directly sent to the police station?"
Towards the end, Eva's mother cried with immense grievance and her voice was getting louder and louder.
Marcus was speechless. At that moment, he had nothing to say. After all, he was the one at a disadvantage. Even if Eva was wrong, since her mother had already said it like that, what else could Marcus say? It seemed like what Eva's mother had said made sense as well. One day, if Sebastian’s child, Aino, was to barge into someplace, as long as someone knew Aino's identity, nobody would blame the cunning little queen. Marcus would be the first who would not blame her. Could it be due to the differences in status? Perhaps.
Marcus felt guilt. Even if the person who had sent Eva to the police station was not him but Sebastian, he still apologized very sincerely, "I'm sorry, Mister and Missus Yerbury. We didn't take good care of Eva. Now that Eva is in the hands of the Shaw family, you don't have to be worried anymore. We will not mistreat Eva."
"There's that Yvonne Yates as well!" Eva's mother suddenly said in anger.
"Missus Yerbury..."
Before he replied, Eva's mother got more and more furious on the other end of the call. "Who the hell is she? How old is she? She is not even the same age as Eva! Even if she is the Shaw family's young lady of the house, how can she show off her authority like that? How many days has it been since she got into the Shaw family? The Yerbury family had already been with the Shaw family for almost a hundred years! We have been serving and taking care of the Shaw family for generations! We have an inseparable relationship with the Shaw family!"
