Chapter 16
Evelyn held her forehead in pain, looking helpless. “Don’t speak nonsense, he was my lifesaver.”
At that moment, the wind lifted her hair, and Reed leaned in, softening her expression. A hint of tenderness flashed in her eyes as she asked, “And what about me?”
Evelyn pushed her head away and said coldly, “Mr. Peterson, it’s time to work.”
“Evelyn, take a break, please,” Reed said with a tired expression.
After graduating from university, she went abroad for further studies with the support of Reed. It was only in the past two years that she returned to her home country and worked her way up from a junior staff member to a project department manager.
Evelyn was very grateful to him, but that was as far as it went.
If possible, she hoped to save some money after repaying the debt and then live a retired life of traveling around the world.
Instead of constantly working in the workplace and waiting until your body collapses before thinking about going out, it will be too late.
At that time, Evelyn’s mother called.
Evelyn quickly hung up the phone, and the next second, she dialed again.
Watching the constantly vibrating phone, Reed blinked and advised, “Evelyn, you have to deal with it. Avoiding it won’t solve the problem.”
Evelyn looked helpless and said, “After all, they were my parents.”
Reed looked serious and said, “Since you can’t bear it, I will help you solve it, as long as you say one word.”
Evelyn’s style was well–organized, so her approach was to focus on winning hearts.
They could sell someone and still count the money for him.
Maybe he could solve it?
Immediately, she decided to give up on the idea. She didn’t want him to see her embarrassed side.
Evelyn hesitated for a moment, but still answered the phone. Evelyn’s mother’s angry voice came through, “Evelyn, why didn’t you
answer the phone?”
Evelyn sneered, “Mom, wanting money with this attitude won’t do.”
Evelyn’s mother paused for a moment and then gritted her teeth, saying, “Daughter, we are going to discuss the marriage with the
in–laws tomorrow. Your brother’s wedding is such a big event, as his sister, you should at least lend a hand.”
“Tomorrow I will go together, send me the location.” After saying this sentence, he immediately hung up the phone.
The next day was a rainy day.
When Evelyn arrived at the hotel, both parties had already sat down to discuss.
As soon as Evelyn arrived, the in–laws immediately put on a smile.
Father–in–law greeted, “So this is Evelyn, impressive, becoming a manager at such a young age.”
Evelyn’s mother smiled happily, thinking that Evelyn was just there to show face.
Unfortunately, to their disappointment, today I came to ruin the party.
When the elders spoke, there was naturally no reason for Evelyn not to respond, so she exchanged a few pleasantries.
Next, let’s get down to business.

Father–in–law raised his hand and made a gesture of the number eight, with a smiling face, and said, “If you want to marry Eileen, at least you have to reach this level.”
Evelyn’s face immediately changed when she heard the previous offer of 33,000 dollars
. However, after learning about her job, she quickly opened her mouth wide like a lion.
Blood is thicker than water.
Evelyn’s mother readily agreed, and her younger brother nodded along beside her.
They didn’t contribute to this money at all.
Evelyn stood up and began the battle mode.
She sneered, and her laughter shattered the calm on the surface, causing both sides to immediately change their expressions.
Evelyn’s mother glared and scolded in a low voice, “Evelyn, what are you doing?”
Evelyn crossed her arms in front of her chest, assuming a nonchalant expression. Upon hearing the news, she deliberately raised her voice in astonishment and exclaimed, “Mom, so you’ve been saving this much money? You can just take out 130,000 dollars like that?”
Evelyn’s mother, hindered by the presence of her in–laws, couldn’t erupt and had to conceal her anger with a smile, which looked extremely distorted.
She tugged at Evelyn’s clothes and lowered her head, whispering, “It’s not much money, what’s wrong with helping your brother a little?”
