Evelina angrily said, "Do you think your brother would lie to ?! If you want to shirk responsibility, don’t bla it on your brother! Don’t let this happen again, or if your brother gets hurt again, don’t bla for not acknowledging you as my daughter!"
Evelina hung up the phone, and Mabel Quinn looked at the phone in her hand, a bitter smile appearing at the corner of her lips.
"What’s wrong, whose call was it? You look terrible," Lilith leaned over and asked.
"It’s nothing, just a call from ho," Mabel said blandly. She should have been used to it by now. To her mother, her brother was everything, and she was insignificant.
Not long after, Cecil Quinn also called, telling her over the phone that he didn’t want their mother to know that he had been at the police station last night, so he made up an excuse and shifted the bla to Mabel.
Regarding this, Mabel didn’t say much. Thinking back to when they were young, her brother used to protect her quite a bit. He would stand up for her whenever soone bullied her.
She rembered once when they got lost while playing outside as children, her brother held her hand tightly and said, "Mabel, don’t be afraid, I will definitely take you ho."
Thinking about those tis, there were many beautiful mories. Only over the years, unknowingly, her once caring brother gradually faded away...
In the afternoon, Mabel thought for a long ti, looking at the character "Kyle" representing Kyle Kinston in her phone’s contact list, and then at the three words "Caleb," she finally called Caleb to inquire if it was Kyle Kinston who paid the bail at the police station last night.
"Yes, it was the CEO’s money, and he also asked to say a few words to the police departnt." Caleb cheerfully admitted.
"When will Mr. Kinston be back at his residence? I’d like to thank him," Mabel said. Regardless of the misunderstandings or previous unpleasant encounters with Kyle, he helped her this ti, so she wanted to express her gratitude.
"The CEO should be staying at the Corporation dormitory lately. I say, Miss Quinn..."
"Secretary, just call Mabel."
"Alright, Mabel, if you really want to thank the CEO, you can just thank him at the Corporation," Caleb thought his boss would probably be quite willing to see Mabel.

Mabel thought that since she wanted to thank soone for their help, she should show so sincerity. Finding out the location of Kyle Kinston’s Corporation wasn’t difficult; it was all over the internet, and a quick search would reveal the exact address.
After work, Mabel specially went to the supermarket, and from her remaining living expenses for the month, took out 200 yuan to buy so food. When she passed by the cookie aisle, she recalled how Kyle used to eat several pieces of bear cookies with her while watching TV and figured he might like cookies, so she picked a variety of flavors and put them in her shopping cart.
The next morning, Mabel took a special leave of absence from the Corporation and brought a bag of supermarket purchases with her as she took a bus to Kyle Kinston’s Corporation.
But when she arrived at the entrance of the building, she was stopped by the security guard, who asked for her ID and required registration. When Mabel wrote down she wanted to see Kyle Kinston in the registration book, the front desk staff in charge of the book looked at her suspiciously.
