Chapter 594
Erine returned to her dormitory and looked at the things on the ground. She was lost in her thoughts and didn't come to her senses until her phone rang.
Looking at the caller ID, her eyes were full of disgust, and she hung up the phone without thinking.
At the moment, it was her so-called father who had called her, and it was hard to say what it was for.
She already had a lot on her hands. There was no need to add more to it.
At this time, Everleigh opened the bags of clothes. It had to be admitted that Vanessa's tastes were really good.
"I can tell that these clothes are expensive," an aged voice came from the doorway.
Everleigh followed the voice and saw Abraham standing at the door. "Dad, come in and have a seat."
He walked in and looked at the items without saying anything. However, she explained, "Today, I went shopping with Mrs. Meyer and Erine. Mrs. Meyer insisted on buying clothes for me, so I couldn't refuse and brought them back."
"Well, Mrs. Meyer is a decent person. She won't treat you poorly since you were invited."
She chuckled. In fact, she could afford these clothes. Alexander had transferred her share of the bonus from Jenkins Group. She might have struggled for money before, but now, she no longer had to.
"It's good that they don't harbor any grudges against you, but it's best if you can keep some distance from them." He was worried that the Meyer family would think that she had ulterior
motives, and then it would be bad.
She chuckled and said, "It's okay. Christopher and I are good friends. I had no choice but to do that. Dad, I know what you mean. I know what I'm doing."
He nodded. Ever since she was young, she had never been a child whom he had to worry about, and it was the same until now.
However...
"Dad, is there something you want to say?"
Abraham lowered his head and said with embarrassment, "Indeed. Recently, Leon has invested in multiple projects. I saw that they were great projects, but now, I don't have enough funds, so..."
"Dad, how much money do you need?"
"I might need a million dollars as working capital." He took a deep breath and spoke. He knew that it was inappropriate to say so, but there was no other way.
Everleigh chuckled and said, "Dad, I'll give you a million dollars.” Alexander had given her the money, so she could also afford to take out a million dollars.
He heard her words and raised his head, asking, "Your money... Is it Theodore's?" This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
She shook her head and said while folding her clothes, "When I entered the Jenkins family, Saniogo gave me some shares. I receive dividends every month, but I rarely spend them. I earn enough from the hospital to support the two children, so I have been saving the money all this time."
Abraham was slightly dazed. He didn't think that Saniogo would do this. He believed that Everleigh's return to the Jenkins family was just in name. Hence, he didn't know that she would get
the shares as well.
She didn't know what he was thinking. "Dad, I'll give you the money tomorrow."
"Everleigh, take it as I'm borrowing it from you. If I earn from the project, I will pay you back. After all, this is the money given by the Jenkins family. I can't just take it," he said seriously.
She didn't want it. The grace of him taking her in and raising her was more significant than anything else. She was not short of money. Besides, she could earn money herself as well. If she didn't have enough, Theodore would give some to her, but then, the whole situation would be different.
He knew what she wanted to say, so he earnestly said, "No, listen to me in this matter. I don't want anyone to think that my daughter has returned to the Jenkins family just for money."
She opened her mouth but didn't insist. She would talk about it later.
The next day, Everleigh gave the money to Abraham and went to the hospital. As soon as she arrived at the hospital, she saw Missha in her office.
"Aunt Missha, when did you come back?"
"I arrived last night. Your uncle wanted to give you a call, but I thought that it had been a long day for you, so I didn't call to inform you. I happen to have nothing to do, so I came to see you."
Everleigh smiled and got up to pour her a glass of water. "Will you stay here for some time?"
"Yes, the company has already arranged for it. If
there is anything, we will hold a video conference. To think that times have certainly changed," Missha said with emotion.
She used to make phone calls when she was abroad. Now, she was able to make video calls. She had to admit that she was getting old.
Everleigh was very in favor of this point. Times changed rapidly, just like the events of the past.
If it wasn't for the advancement of technology, she wouldn't have figured out many things.
"Aunt Missha, are you back for something this time or..."
"I'm just here for a few days. I'm a member of the Jenkins family anyway." When Missha mentioned the Jenkins family, her tone was slow, as if it was to remind herself.
Everleigh didn't pay attention to her tone and said softly, "Aunt Missha, if you're free, wait for me here. I'm going to work."
"Okay." Missha just came to see her. If there was nothing serious or important, she would just wait.
Everleigh packed up her things and went straight to the wards for her rounds. After a busy morning, she handled several patients with heart disease.
When she returned to the office at noon, Missha was sitting on one side, staring at the phone with a cold expression.
"Aunt Missha, let's go for a meal. I know a decent restaurant around here."
"Okay." When Missha looked up, the coldness on her face had disappeared, and it was replaced with a smile.
The two of them arrived at a restaurant nearby. Everleigh had been there before, and the food was good.
Missha looked at the surrounding environment. "This restaurant is very clean."
"It's also delicious."
"I'd like to have a try," Missha said with anticipation.
Everleigh smiled and waited for the dishes to be served.
While eating, she suddenly asked, "You came back so suddenly, Cynthia..."
"Cynthia is not a schemer. You can see that she is a delicate girl. I am doubting my decision to bring her abroad," Missha said lightly.
After a moment of silence, Everleigh thought about it and said, "Aunt Missha, did you tell Cynthia that you want her to manage the company?"
"I just wanted to stimulate her mind. The Jenkins family is too weak. I actually hope that you can take charge of the company, but would you agree?" Missha looked down and said in a serious tone.
Everleigh didn't intend to do that, but when she thought of Cynthia's previous attitude; she didn't seem to be joking at all.
She couldn't control who was in charge of the Jenkins family, but Cynthia was definitely not the kind of person who would be capable of managing a company.
"Everleigh, aren't you angry? Seeing Cynthia manage the company?" Missha suddenly asked seriously.
Everleigh was slightly stunned and looked at her puzzledly. "Aunt Missha, why are you asking something like this?"
"I told you I would like to give the company to you, but now I'm saying these words to Cynthia. Do you... think I am playing tricks on you?"
"Of course not. You have your own worries. What's more, you just said that I am not suitable for business. No matter who is in charge of the company, I will support them, because that is your choice." Everleigh's attitude showed that she didn't care.
