Everyone looked over as soon as they heard the voice and they saw two security guards walking toward them while grabbing a woman, whose hair was covered in grass, whose clothes were in a mess, and who was covered in mud all over.
Eevonne also came to the woman. "Mila...it's you?"
The security said angrily, "This woman crawled out from the bushes by the man-made river at the edge of the lawn. I'm guessing she already knew in advance that we're having a grand wedding here today, so she had been squatting there a long time ago. She certainly must be a repeat offender. Missus Yates, please first check all of your valuables. We'll take this repeat offender to the police station now."
"No, no, no, I'm not a repeat offender. I'm not a thief either," Mila explained while stammering incoherently. Her gaze was both humble and sincere.
She tried her best to break free from the security guards' hands while looking at Eevonne. "Missus Yates, you...you know that I'm not a thief. You've met me before, right? Please explain to them that I'm not a thief. I'm an actress. I'm an actress with a little fame now, and I'll become more and more famous in the future. I'm not bad. In the future...I'll slowly and certainly make a name of myself."
When she heard Mila saying that, Eevonne suddenly felt an indescribable sorrow. It was as if she saw the way she was in the past. She also urgently wanted to prove herself to others as well in the past.
Eevonne was feeling slightly disappointed in Mila. " You have your own career and your acting is not bad, why must you keep pestering Marcus? He already told you that he has a wife. Why are you so relentless?"
Eevonne had once pestered someone else as well, so she knew that kind of feeling of not being accepted. Therefore, at that moment, she clearly knew that Mila's actions were quite annoying. However, she did not blame Mila too much.
Mila took a gulp and said with a slight awkwardness," I'm an actress. I wanted very badly to take a look at a wedding venue that is large and grand. I just wanted to gain some experience in my acting. I don't have any other intentions. I can't enter from the main door, so I went to the side of the man-made river and I climbed over from the public restroom over there. I simply wanted to take a look at your wedding venue. I didn't steal anything and I don't have other intentions. Can you not send me to the police station?"
Eevonne sighed. "Forget it. She really is not a thief. She just wanted to attend my wedding but she didn't have an invitation. It's our oversight. Just release her."
The security looked slightly awkward. "Oh. Alright. Alright."
Sabrina and Sebastian, who were standing not far away, looked at each other and smiled. Sebastian then said to Kingston, "Eevonne indeed has grown up quite a bit, which is evident from her tolerance. People often say that tolerance is a virtue. In the future, Eevonne certainly can become your best support. In this case, I'll be quite at ease to let both of you handle the Ford Group."
Kingston smiled and said with satisfaction, "You're right. Eevonne is kind-hearted by nature and she has great tolerance. However, Master Sebastian, we're not that young anymore as we speak. I'm almost turning forty soon. Eevonne is already thirty-two this year. While we work hard for a few more years and maintain the prime of the Ford Group, we also have to consider letting our junior take over the business. When are you planning to let Aino take over?"
Aino was already sixteen years old. She was already in her sophomore year in high school.
Once he thought of Aino, Sebastian smiled helplessly.' This child has no interest in managing and taking over the business at all. However, her younger brothers are about eight and ten years younger than her. They are still so young. Thinking about this just troubles me. However, I also don't wish to meddle with my children. I've made such a huge family business and have such vast properties, but if I can't even guarantee my children to live happily, then what's the use for me to have such vast properties? Therefore, Aino can do whatever she wants."
