"How could I be so blind to marry this damned son of a bitch back then? I've even given birth to such despicable things!
Gosh, I truly deserved to be damned!" Eevonne's mother shouted angrily at the top of her lungs over the phone.
Kingston was stunned when he heard over the phone. Eevonne was not lying at all. Even at that moment, after her daughter was badly beaten up by her family, not only did she not feel sorry for her, but she kept saying that her daughter was a despicable thing. Kingston was so angry that he did not know what to say anymore.
Before he said anything, he heard noises coming from the other end of the phone call.
"Aunt, don't waste time talking to that jerk! Ask Eevonne, that damned thing, to get the hell away from us as far as she can, and don't come back anymore in this life! We find her so disgusting!” It was a woman’s voice.
Kingston could figure it out without thinking much that she must be Eevonne's fat cousin.
"I don't mean to criticize you, but I've thought that your daughter truly is a despicable thing since she was a child, and I wasn't wrong. She actually lied to you for so many years! It'd be better if she were to just die out there. If she were to come back again, just directly beat her to death!"
"No, my dear sister, there's no value to her if she was beaten to death! It'll be better to just marry her to some single man. We can even get some money out of that." This was
a boy's voice that sounded slightly childlike compared to the woman’s voice earlier.
Since he addressed the woman as his sister, then he should be the son of Eevonne's maternal aunt. That child could actually say such a thing as marrying Eevonne to an old single man for some money. That was enough to prove that all these people had never treated Eevonne as their relative and their older cousin. They truly did not treat Eevonne as a human from the bottom of their hearts. All these words were extremely harsh to Kingston’s ears when he was just an outsider, let alone Eevonne herself.
"Madam, don't you feel upset at all listening to such words that humiliate your daughter?" Kingston asked her over the phone.
