"Even my nephew can't bully her as well! I will fight him as well!"
Kingston nodded. "That's how it should be. If a mother doesn't protect her daughter, then who else would protect her?"
Eevonne's mother nodded with tears streaming down her face. "Mm-hmm. I got it. That's right, Mister Yates. Eevonne's going to be leaving with you, so please take care of her, and I would like to thank you in advance."
"There's no need for that, madam. I am the one who should be thanking her. Besides, when she gets to the place, she still needs to rely on her own effort," said Kingston.
"Don't worry. I won’t make a fake diploma anymore this time and I won't cheat anybody anymore. I've already figured it out. I’ll work one job in the morning, and then after I get off work, I'll deliver food at night. I won't let myself be too tired. I'll just work from eight in the morning to midnight every day. It's going to be a little tough this way, but I can still persevere. I hope I can pay back eighty thousand dollars in a year! That's my goal! I have to work hard!" Eevonne said with full confidence.
Kingston and Eevonne's mother looked at her with an encouraging gaze. At that point, the matter relating to Eevonne's family has come to an end. All the things that should be taken care of were handled well. As for those relatives, Eevonne also let them off the hook. If her mother has the intention to reconcile with them, there would still be a way. It was after everything was properly arranged that Eevonne bid her mother farewell, took her luggage with her, and left her house together with Kingston.
Unexpectedly, there were a few neighbors at the gate with money in their hands and were waiting for Eevonne.
She looked at her neighbors in confusion." Sir, what are you .doing here?”
"Eevonne, all of us have actually mistaken you. We're all neighbors who live so close to each other. We shouldn't have belittled you when your family is in trouble. We should've helped you instead. This is not much money. It’s just five thousand dollars. Just take it to pay your debt."
Eevonne was speechless.
"Me too. There’s me as well, Eevonne. You know that the three children in my family are still studying, but we’ve just managed to sell some corn a couple of days ago. It’s not much, it's just one thousand five hundred dollars, but even a tiny bit of money would help. Just take this to pay back the money you owe. Forgive me. I've been too annoying in the past..."
