Chapter 2622
Eevonne was speechless, she did not say anything for a long while. Tears just kept streaming down her face.
It was after a long moment that she said with a catch in her throat, "Kingston, I...I won't borrow money from you. I would never borrow money from anyone from now on! Thank you."
"Silly!" Kingston shouted!
"This is not the time to talk about integrity. Take it one step at a time for all matters and solve them one step at a time as well.
Everything has to be completely resolved today! since you trust me, then listen to me. Be good. Take this fifty thousand dollars!" Kingston looked at her extremely seriously.
"Kingston..." Eevonne replied.
"Take it!"
Eevonne knew that since things have already turned out this way, and since she has already completely fallen out with her cousins, she has to make this move, otherwise, she would hurt not only herself but Kingston as well.
With her face covered in tears, she accepted the slip from Kingston and handed it to her cousin, "This is for the thirty thousand dollars that I owed you. You asked me to pay back fifty thousand dollars to you in two years. I've paid you back now. You have nothing more to say, right?"
"That won't do! You're late!" Her cousin seemed to have forgotten that he had already exceeded the maximum limit in terms of the interest that he wanted to collect, which was against the law.
He pointed at Eevonne once again. "The due date for repayment was a month ago. You've dragged it for a month, so you've long made a violation. I want to take your house myself now. This is a fair trade! Besides, my aunt has already agreed. Eevonne, your words mean nothing in this house. This is my aunt's house, she's the one who has the final say! We must take this house away!"
It was already at the final moment, so of course, her cousin would fight to get as much as he could.
"Fine! You're truly something else. You really are a person who won't easily take action without a clear target!" Kingston looked at him and sneered before he said again, "Didn't all you kept insisting that I am a contractor? since I am a contractor, I certainly know more about real estate than all of you. Let me teach you about property law today!"
As he said that, Kingston looked at Eevonne's younger cousin, who had outstanding looks, was eloquent, and was well-educated." You're a high-achieving graduate from a top college. Why didn't you tell your cousin beforehand that a homestead can't be treated as goods and be used for trades and gifts?"
Eevonne's younger cousin was speechless, she knew, of course, she knew that a homestead could not be sold and could not be transferred to someone else. It could only be used as a permanent residence. However, her aunt did not know that.
Her silly cousin, Eevonne, who has strong vanity, even more so, did not know that. However, she never expected that his man named Kingston also knew so much.
"This is a homestead! This is the homestead that generations and generations of farmers have lived in! This is not a commercial property! Eevonne's family can only live here for generations, but they absolutely don't have the right to sell it off. Even if they were to forgo their conscience and sell the house to you, and even if they had already taken your money, if they were to take you to court one day and forcibly seize their house, they could also win the lawsuit. Do you understand?" Kingston sneered and looked at the man, who was Eevonne's cousin.
He stammered for a long while and was at a loss for words.
Kingston, however, did not intend to spare him. "Besides, you're really openly robbing her now! You've already said so just now that it's against the law to force your way into someone's house. Then, is it breaking the law when you forcibly rob someone of their house?"
