"Mister Long, if there’s nothing else, I'll be hanging up now."
Upon saying that, Eevonne took the initiative to hang up the call without even giving Dash the chance to refute.
Unexpectedly, as long as she hung up the call, her phone rang again. She initially did not want to answer it, but she saw that it was Sabrina who was calling. Eevonne immediately answered the call, "Hello, Sabrina. What can I do for you?"
At the other end of the call, Sabrina was apologetic. "Eevonne, we were in a hurry when we were talking to you just now, and we didn’t even invite you to stay for dinner. Sebastian and I feel very sorry. Eevonne, come over to have a meal with us on Sunday, alright?"
After Eevonne heard that, she felt incomparably touched. "Sabrina, thank you. It's not that I don't want to go to your house to have a meal with you guys. It's just that every Saturday and Sunday, I have to spend one day going to Yvonne's parents ' house and helping them do as many chores as I could. Then, I have to spend the other day going to Kingston's parents' house to keep them accompanied.
Kingston is not at home all year around. The four elderly people are very lonely."
Sabrina was very relieved. "That's true. If it weren't for you, there's really no telling how the four elder people are going to live their lives. Look at me. I already have three children. My mother is also getting older and older. Ruth also has to take care of her two children, and she had just delivered her third child. Our visits to the Yates family are not as regular as yours. You are a good girl. All the best!"
Actually, the main intention for Sabrina to call Eevonne was not to invite her over for a meal. She had already invited Eevonne multiple times before, but Eevonne has always rejected her very firmly. Sabrina knew that she was not willing or maybe she felt uncomfortable, so she did not force her anymore. The reason Sabrina made that call at that moment was actually to strengthen her encouragement to Eevonne. She wanted to thoroughly build Eevonne's confidence and make her become a person with a truly strong mind. That was because Sebastian had just discussed something with her.
"Sabrina, Eevonne is really quite good. Both you and I know that she has a million flaws, but she is very simple by nature. She is very soft-hearted. A soft-hearted person like this is the easiest to be affected by others. She had gotten strength from us today and was like she had gotten a new life. However, as time goes by, if she faces some external pressure again or was gossiped about by others, she might still waver and still not know what to do. She would lose her sense of direction."
Sabrina nodded with concern. "Yes. This girl is too kind. Regardless if it was her fault, she would be the first to get nervous and to think if it was her fault. I've actually thought about this kind of situation before and I've boiled it down to two points.
Firstly, it was the seeds of inferiority and self-blame that her mother had planted in her as she was growing up. Whenever anything happens, she would feel that it was her fault. Secondly, it was the company that she once joined when she first made a fake diploma. When I heard from Kingston about all the situations she experienced in that company, I was thinking, wasn't the boss of that company too good at treating people differently, and wasn't he too excessive in brainwashing others? Actually, no matter how bad Eevonne’s interpersonal relationships with others were, her capability at work was as clear as day. Why did he have to crush her confidence and self-esteem? Since they feel that she is not qualified, not good, and not valuable to the company at all, then why was she never fired in the three years she spent working for that company? It was very clear that they knew the value that Eevonne had created for them! They knew it very well. They knew Eevonne’s ability very well, but they still oppressed her like that, which caused Eevonne’s confidence to be so broken that she almost became a psycho. This is truly too infuriating!"
Sabrina became incredibly furious when these matters were mentioned. Seeing how irritated his wife looked, Sebastian said casually, "Therefore, whoever started the trouble should end it. Eevonne would still need medicine for her mind to see if she could recover from this trauma, wouldn't she?"
Sabrina was stunned and she glanced at Sebastian. "You mean..."
