"If it weren’t for , would you still be the general manager now? You’d have been carrying bricks at the construction site a long ti ago!"
"My daughter is so well-behaved, how could she possibly embezzle funds? Is it that little mistress of yours trying to fra my daughter?"
Facing Eleanor Palr’s torrent of accusations, Edward Palr calmly said, "The little mistress you’re talking about is the boss’s youngest daughter."
Eleanor Palr’s incessant talking suddenly stopped as she heard Edward Palr continue, "If you don’t believe Eva embezzled funds, I can call the police right now."
At the ntion of calling the police, Eleanor Palr was instantly scared and waved her hands repeatedly, "No, no... Edward, Eva is your niece, how can you bear to call the police? You are her uncle. If the police get involved, her life would be ruined."
"That’s why I didn’t call the police, I just asked her to return the money she took." Edward Palr looked at Eleanor Palr.
Eleanor Palr asked uncertainly, "How much money are we talking about?"
"Fifty thousand."
"What? Fifty thousand?" Eleanor Palr almost jumped up, "Where can I get fifty thousand?"
"Edward, you must help . Back then..."
Eleanor Palr was about to bring up the past, but Edward Palr interrupted her directly, "Sis, you know if I hadn’t discovered this early on and investigated the matter myself, I would be implicated once things co to light, do you understand?"
"But... but Eva is still young; it’s understandable that she made a mistake." Eleanor Palr wiped her tears pitifully, "You’re her uncle. I treated you so well back then, you should repay now."
Edward Palr’s wife, upon hearing this, couldn’t take it, "Sister, aren’t you going too far with your words? Hasn’t Edward already repaid you enough?"
"It was Edward who got you your job transfer, it’s him who dealt with any trouble your husband got into, and even half of the money for the house you bought ca from him. He found Eva a job, and she dares to embezzle funds and harm our Edward like this?"
"And to spread rumors about Edward having a mistress, what are your intentions?"
"This is a conversation between and my brother, what business is it of yours?" Eleanor Palr got agitated hearing this, "When I was working part-ti to pay for my brother’s college, who knows where you were!"
"Sis, I can cover for Eva this ti, but..." Edward Palr’s ’but’ made Eleanor Palr anxious, "But what?"
"From now on, your family’s matters have nothing to do with anymore." As soon as Edward Palr finished his sentence, Eleanor Palr was agitated, "What? You don’t want to take care of your sister anymore? You ungrateful wretch, after all I’ve..."
"If you keep yelling, you’ll have to co up with the fifty thousand yourself, and I will call the police." Edward Palr’s ruthless words left Eleanor Palr wide-eyed in disbelief, "Sister, you better think carefully about what you want."
He wanted to take this opportunity to rid himself of Eleanor Palr’s family moral blackmail, he had enough.
When Eleanor Palr returned ho, she was sowhat in a daze.
Eva anxiously ca to et her, asking, "Mom, what did Uncle say? Can I go back to work or find another job?"
"Oh, that person is your uncle’s boss’s daughter, so there’s nothing your uncle can do. Wait a while, and then we’ll find you a good job." Eleanor Palr didn’t dare to tell her daughter the truth, fearing Eva would be upset.
"Sophie Wilson, I won’t let you off!" Eva stomped her feet in anger.
