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?"
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?"
