"She is just a girl who had just married into the Shaw family. Does she want to abuse us, the maids who had made great contributions, to death? She is not marrying into the Shaw family! She clearly wants to ruin the Shaw family! She wants to ruin the good reputation of the Shaw family that has been maintained for a hundred years!"
Seeing that Eva's mother was in a fit of anger, Marcus did not argue with her. He just went along with whatever she said.
However, Eva's mother was still relentless. "Now that my daughter has moved into the Shaw Residence, what would happen to Yvonne? If Yvonne is in the Shaw
Residence, then my daughter won't stay there. As maids, even if we were to be poor as hell and no matter how lowly our status is, we still have dignity! Has Eva arrived home yet? If she has, get her on the phone. I will ask her to move out! I will ask her to move out now. I will let her come back to us after a few days. From then on, we will no longer have any relations with the Shaw family anymore!"
"Missus Yerbury-" Marcus said.
At some point, Yvonne came to the back of Marcus. She then snatched the phone away from his hand, and said, "It's fine, Missus Yerbury. It's alright to let Eva stay here for a few days. I won't be staying at the Shaw Residence these few days."
"Yvonne, what are you talking about! This is your home!" Marcus said.
However, he heard Eva's mother say on the other end of the call, "Fine! You're the one who said it. My daughter doesn't wish to see you, but we also didn't intend to shamelessly stay in the Shaw Residence! My daughter will book a flight and return as soon as possible. It'll just take a couple of days! I hope the lady of the house can put up with it for a couple of days! You have your birth family to return to in South City, but Eva only has the Shaw family in South City, so please bear with it!"
"I know. I will return to my family now. My husband and in-laws will certainly take good care of Eva," Yvonne calmly said.
After saying that, Yvonne automatically hung up the call.
Immediately after that, Marcus and his parents were all looking at Yvonne. Marcus ’ mother, in particular, said, "Yvonne, my good girl. We didn't have this intention. We can find the best hotel for Eva. She is only staying for a couple of days anyway." Yvonne smiled, looking at her mother-in-law. "Missus and Mister Shaw, I know that you are very nice to me. Marcus also dotes on me very much. I know all that. However, the Shaw family is going through a lot during this period of time. Grandpa has just left this world. There were incidents with Marcus’ three brothers a few days ago as well. At this moment, the Shaw family can’t have any other troubles anymore. Particularly regarding Eva. Three generations of her family were indeed maids of our family. Eva's grandfather had once saved Marcus' grandma's life. We can't forget this kindness, especially after Grandpa had just died. Otherwise, the entire South City would despise us. It's just a couple of days and a week at best. It's not a problem for me to go back and stay at my parents' house, Mister and Missus Shaw. We’re a family. We can discuss everything.
We have to be united now."
Yvonne usually seemed like a little firecracker and a sweet girl, who never worried about anything, who only knew to be doted on by others, and was very ignorant. However, nobody expected that at that moment, she would actually act so sensibly.
Marcus immediately hugged Yvonne. "My wifey, I just knew that I didn't marry the wrong person. I didn't marry the wrong person."
Yvonne's in-laws also hugged her and treated her like their own daughter. "Good girl, good girl. We thank you. What a good girl."
With tears welled up in her eyes, Yvonne waved goodbye to her in-laws and Marcus." Mister and Missus Shaw, dear, I will first go back to my parents' house to stay for a few days. I will return after Eva has left.”
The three of them nodded with teary eyes.
Yvonne grabbed the bag she had been carrying around with her and left the entrance of the Shaw Residence.
At this end, a few people immediately cheered in the car that was parked not far away from the entrance of the Shaw Residence. "It worked! The first step of our plan has succeeded. Can I seduce Marcus without a car in the world now then?"
