When Eevonne's relatives saw that she was so firm, they were stunned for a few seconds. They had not seen Eevonne being so firm ever since her matter was revealed. She has a huge debt. After she ran home from the big city in a dispirited manner, she had always been very cowardly. She had never tried to explain herself when her mother hit her or scolded her. She has never talked back when her older relatives were criticizing and cursing at her. She did not even fight back then her cousins beat her up so recklessly.
However, at that moment, Eevonne's attitude was so firm. Her expression seemed like she was ready to fight them to death. All of her relatives were actually a little frightened. Even the people who were standing outside the gate and watching the incident also became quiet. It seemed like there was a twist in this matter.
At that moment, the police officer also looked at her younger cousin and asked very seriously, "Miss, you have to answer the question honestly. You have to know that defamation is a crime in our country!"
"I...he, well..." The girl, who had clear articulation and was speaking eloquently earlier, was so flustered at that moment that her face was reddened and she could not say anything.
However, she also had no choice but to say, "I...I have never seen it with my own eyes, and I .have also never heard it with my own ears. I..."
"Since you've never seen or heard it yourself, how did you determine that I have a family? How did you determine that I've done poor-quality constructions? How did you determine that I am a small contractor who fled to evade clearing my debt?" Kingston pressured her.
"I..." She spoke haltingly and was so frightened that tears streamed down her cheeks.
Kingston sneered disdainfully. "You've made it all up. It was all thought up by yourself. Your imagination is truly rich enough. As expected of a high-achieving graduate from a famous college, who has a clear and logical mind and outstanding looks. Your mind truly is different!"
Eevonne's younger cousin’s face was completely reddened by his remark, but she had no way to refute it. At that moment, the cousins who were behind her were also dumbfounded.
Looking at that situation, the police immediately understood everything. One of them shouted, "She has created trouble in public and deliberately defamed someone! Detain her!"
She was so frightened that she immediately started shouting. "No! Mom, save me. Aunt..."
"Hold on!" Kingston said suddenly.
