Chapter 2612
There was a brief moment of silence inside the house.
"Who is it?" Kingston heard someone from the inside of the house ask with slight concern.
"Open up! The police are here!" Kingston shouted sternly.
It was wrong to impersonate a police officer, but at that moment, Kingston could not care so much anymore. He knocked on the gate very quickly and loudly. Some of their neighbors came out of their houses to watch.
"Gosh, this family has been causing disturbances for a few days. When the hell are they going to stop?" There was a slight disgust in the tone of the neighbor on their left.
Their neighbor on the right immediately said, "Eevonne truly deserved to be beaten up by her grandparent's family. I've always thought that this girl is nothing good since she was a child, she lied and misbehaved at such a young age. she lied to her family for more than ten years, she said she has a boyfriend from the big city, has an office job in the big city, and was earning about five thousand dollars a month, which was the highest income out of all the youngsters in our village who went to work in the city, pfft! It was all lies! If she has made so much money and has such a stable and decent job in the big city, how come I've never once seen her bringing her boyfriend home? Let's not talk about others, let's just talk about my brother's son. My brother's son was not as great as she boasted. However, after five years since he graduated from college, in just five years, he drove home in a luxury car!"
"Hey, the luxury car that your brother's son drove back was a rental that he got in the city. He said so himself," someone refuted while laughing. "He is still better than her! At the very least, he is truly a college graduate! He truly has a stable and decent job in the city. What about Eevonne? Everything she said was just lies! she even owes others money everywhere. I'm telling all of you right now. We're neighbors who live so near her. All of you have to keep a close eye on your own money, otherwise, when their house is taken away by Eevonne's uncle, their family would come and borrow money from you."
"That's true. That makes sense. Eevonne truly deserved it!"
Kingston was speechless. He suddenly understood it. Eevonne's vanity was not just her personality alone, it was also not just caused by the prejudice that her mother had toward her since she was a child as well. There was also a kind of culture in the village. The people from the village looked simple and honest, but they were comparing themselves with others at every turn within their own world. If someone's child, including their relatives, or even their distant relatives did not have anything to brag about, then that family would also be discriminated against by the group. This was probably the hierarchy that described who looked down on whom in their social circle.
Eevonne was vain because she did not want to be at the bottommost level of the hierarchy in the place where she was born and raised. Therefore, she used deception to achieve what she wanted. However, Eevonne had overlooked something—a lie has no legs, so everything that she had concealed and every lie that she has told would be exposed one day. It was fortunate that Eevonne was enlightened at that moment. She truly knew that she was wrong for many things, and she was willing to live a sensible life in the future.
