Chapter 2617
"You're an out-of-towner and you're alone. You don't have anybody to help you at all. As your friend, if I have power in this piece of land, I can still protect you. However, I can't protect you. I'm begging you, Kingston. Don't get involved! Hurry up and leave!

Kingston's expression was still very still very relaxed. Not only that but he also asked her with interest, "The police are here. What do I have to be afraid of?"
Eevonne's anxiousness was simply killing her. "A family's matters are so complex that it would be hard for even a fair judge to judge them. Do you understand that, Kingston? Even if the police are here, they also can't resolve trivial matters within a family. Gosh..."
She saw that it was hopeless to try to persuade Kingston, so she turned around and looked at the police officer, "officer, Kingston truly is my friend. He did not force himself into the house. He is here for me. I'm begging you to please let him first take his leave. There's nothing severe in my family as well. We can resolve it ourselves. These people are not here to cause trouble as well. They are my uncle and his wife, my cousins, and my aunt. All of us are a close family. We just had a slight dispute. Could you please first take my friend away? Take him to the county town."
Eevonne looked at the police officer with a pleading expression. That truly put the police officer in a difficult position. They were locals from the county town, and it was just some conventional and minor disputes. These police officers could tell as soon as they entered that this was indeed a family matter.
All of them looked at each other, then one of them said to Eevonne, "We can only bring him away if he is willing to return with us."
Eevonne immediately pulled Kingston to the side by force. "I'm begging you, please, Kingston. Just go! I can't protect you! I'm being serious!"
Kingston gently patted Eevonne's shoulder and said while comforting her, "Eevonne, what are you worried about? We're in a peaceful world governed by laws, what exactly are you worried about?"
Eevonne sneered miserably. "Kingston, I know that you've called the police for my own good. You were afraid that I would be taken advantage of. However, have you ever thought about it? The police could help for one moment, but could they help me for the rest of my life? They are my relatives. We may have to be in each other's lives for the rest of our lives. Even if the police forcefully drive them out of my house this time, what about the future? Surely, I can't avoid seeing them for the rest of my life, can't I? Even if I don't meet with them, there's still my mother. My mother will still meet them. This is a difficult problem that can't be solved, Kingston. You're an out-of-towner. You don't understand the local culture here. Take my cousin's family, for example. My uncle has always been a decent person. He knows plenty of people in the county town. He also knew quite a few important figures in the county. How could a family like ours go against my uncle for a long term? I don't have any other ways. I can only reduce major troubles to as minor as I possibly could. Just leave, Kingston. I would handle this properly. After I've dealt with everything, I'll go to the city to find a job. We'll contact each other often in the future, alright?
Please don't ever forget me."
Kingston had a mixed feeling when he heard Eevonne saying that. The young lady was telling the truth. However, since he had already come, since the police had already arrived, of course, he had to resolve the matter completely.
"Since I dare to come over, I don't need your protection. I will protect myself. Don't worry," Kingston firmly patted Eevonne's shoulder.
Eevonne was speechless, she sighed helplessly. Seeing that Kingston was so incomparably resolute, she could only look at the police officer with great determination, "officer, this is my friend! I don't allow anybody to harm my friend. As for all these things within my family, I'm willing to take responsibility for everything! II
