Eevonne did not expect that Dash would suddenly become so sincere. Everyone who was present also did not expect it. Suddenly, Eevonne has nothing to say anymore. She turned her head over to look at Kingston. Kingston was looking at Phoebe and Mister Cain.
At that moment, Mister Cain also stood up with a regretful expression and sighed very deeply. "Well... I've never bent the law for selfish gains all my life. My daughter begged me. I was thinking, I don't have anything I would ask for in life anymore at my age, and I just hope that my daughter can live happily. I was thinking that she's just an ordinary employee of the company anyway, it wouldn't matter to just fire her. I have never considered how deeply I would hurt that ordinary employee by doing so. Dash is wrong. But I'm worse! If a person made a mistake by accident or if a young person made a mistake, God would forgive that person. However, once a person like me, who has the power to decide where a person lives or dies, made a wrong decision or if I still continued when I clearly knew it was unfair, then I truly can't be forgiven. I really am wrong and I don't deserve to be forgiven. From now on, I'll resign from being one of the managing directors of the Ford Group. I would also

Speaking of that, Mister Cain looked at Eevonne.
You're a good person. I've seen your ability at work and your achievements since the day you joined the company. It's an old man like me who was too selfish. I'm sorry, my child."
Upon saying that, Mister Cain bent his body and bowed deeply to Eevonne. Eevonne instantly did not know what to do anymore. "Sir...well, Mister Cain...'
"My child...I wish you will rise higher and higher in rank in the Ford Group. Also, I'm very assured. I know that you would never rely on your husband's position to gain personal benefits and oppress others. You are truly a person who's down-to-earth and willing to work hard. Kingston did not judge you wrongly and did not pick the wrong wife for himself. I will not worry this way. It would be the best development for everyone in the Ford Group to behave like you. My child, you are the pride of Ford Group! I, myself, also feel proud! Thank you for teaching me a lesson today! From today...I'll go home and retire."
He said it so sincerely and there was a catch in his throat. There was plenty of reluctance and remorse in his toe. Anybody could tell how good his attitude was. Upon saying that, he turned around and left.
Eevonne called out to him from behind him with a catch in her throat as well. "Mister Cain, you've indeed made a mistake. I'm particularly angry at you as well. Perhaps God won't forgive you, but we're too far away from God. There are way too many people that He had to be in charge of as well, so maybe He had long forgotten about us. Therefore, even if God doesn't forgive you, I...forgive you!" "What?" Mister Cain thought that he had misheard it. "I forgive you! I'm willing to forgive you!" Tears were welling up in Eevonne's eyes. She has always been a soft-hearted girl. After she saw others playing tricks, she also got the courage to go head-on with others until the very end. However, she was weak against others who truly and sincerely repent. Who in this world would not make mistakes? Everyone would make mistakes. Eevonne, herself, had once made a severe mistake. If Kingston and Sabrina had not tolerated her and given her courage, how could she have her achievements at that moment?
Besides, Mister Cain has been diligent all his life and truly has never harmed others for his own benefit. This was the only time and it was because he loved his daughter too much. Therefore, Eevonne chose to forgive him.
"My child..." Mister Cain said.
"Do you know why? As an employee, I hate you. However, personally, I'm especially envious of your daughter for having a father like you. She is too blessed with happiness."
