Mabel Quinn looked at Kyle Kinston beside her.
Kyle said, "Let’s go inside and talk, standing out here is not ideal."
Evelina immediately smiled with delight.
Once inside the living room, Kyle dismissed the servant, and Evelina approached her daughter, trying to appear affectionate first. But Mabel stepped back two steps, calmly looking at Evelina, "Alright, Mom, just say what you came to say."
"Mabel, Mom is here today to apologize for what happened before, I was just momentarily overwhelmed back then, that’s why I said those things. Please don’t take it to heart, we’re family, there’s no overnight grudge, right?" Evelina said with a smile, putting on an image of a loving mother.
"Mom, if you just came to see me, then I understand. I’ll get a car to take you back later," Mabel said.
Evelina couldn’t just leave like that; she hasn’t achieved what she came for today, "Mabel, you’re dating Mr. Kinston, why didn’t you tell the family? It made your mom misunderstand everything before."
Mabel remained silent and just stared at Evelina, which made Evelina’s smile grow a bit stiff. Being stared at by her daughter like that suddenly made her feel guilty.
However, this daughter is now someone she needs to curry favor with. As long as her daughter just says a word to Mr. Kinston, all her current difficulties could be easily solved.
"Mom knows that your brother did wrong by you, let him serve some time in prison as compensation to you. But no matter what, we should at least get him a lawyer, a good lawyer’s fees are high. Mom was suddenly demoted to the logistics department in the bank, and the family’s finances are already tight, now it’s even worse..." Evelina put on an expression of being troubled and hesitant, waiting for her daughter to respond.
But Mabel just left Evelina hanging and didn’t pick up her mother’s topic.
In her heart, Evelina cursed her daughter half to death but had to maintain a kind and pleasing demeanor on the surface, "Mabel, Mom has no choice, that’s why I’m asking you. Help me get transferred back to the credit department at the bank, and also, get a good lawyer for your brother. I checked, and the best lawyer for this kind of case in J City is a lawyer with the last name Gu. And when your brother comes out, find him a good job so he can turn over a new leaf. The position doesn’t need to be too high, a manager would be enough." After that day, Evelina thought it over for a long time and realized she might have offended some big shot, possibly Kyle Kinston.
That’s why she urgently came back today.
Mabel found it amusing; her mother’s words were so entitled. Obviously, coming to see her was fake, but making demands was real, "Mom, I can’t do any of what you’re asking."
Evelina glared, "Why can’t you?!"
"I’m just a college student who hasn’t even graduated, how could I possibly do what you’re asking? The money I earn from my part-time jobs is just enough for my basic living expenses," Mabel said.
Evelina glanced at Kyle Kinston sitting on the living room sofa, "Aren’t you and Mr. Kinston boyfriend and girlfriend? It would be so easy if you just ask Mr. Kinston! Her words were not only directed at her daughter but also intended for Kyle to hear.
