Mr CEO, please be gentle.

Mr CEO, please be gentle. (2)

I didn't expect her uncle to tell her that her dad went to Las Vegas to gamble the year before last and lost several million dollars at once, and in a hurry, he had to sell thirty-two percent of his shares to his uncle to pay off his gambling debts.

In other words, that company, which had been built by her dad and uncle, no longer had a single dime to do with her Evelyn.

Evelyn, in her last life, had believed her uncle's words like a fool and had even been grateful for his willingness to take her into his home and care for her after her dad and mom had passed away.

It wasn't until the moment she was kicked out of the house by her uncle that the carefree uncle sneered and told her that in order to get the shares in her father's hands, he had actually joined forces with the owner of that private casino and ruthlessly engineered away the shares in his own brother's hands.

If she hadn't re-lived her life, she would never have believed that her uncle, who wore the cloak of hypocrisy, was the culprit who personally pushed her parents into the abyss of death.

Looking at herself in the mirror in front of the dresser, it was a young and vibrant face.

Compared to the thirty-year-old Evelyn, at this time, she was youthful and good-looking, even though she was already twenty-three years old, but her long school life made her feel a girlish delicacy and beauty from the bones outward.

Could this be just a dream?

Squeezing her cheeks hard in the mirror, the pain that came instantly told her that it wasn't a dream, that she had been reborn, that her soul had indeed returned seven years ago after that car accident.

"Evelyn, are you awake?"

The voice of Riley, who was a servant at his uncle's house, came through the door.

Looking at the time indicated by the wall clock on the wall, it was now exactly nine o'clock in the morning; almost three hours had passed since she woke up from her dream until now.

Opening the door to the room, he saw Riley's familiar and naive face, which he remembered.

"His Lordship has just instructed that if Evelyn is awake, please go to his study for a moment; he seems to have something to say to Evelyn."

Evelyn forced down the excitement that her rebirth had brought her and politely told Riley that she would go to her uncle's study as soon as she changed her clothes.

The smile that hung on her face slowly faded as Riley turned to leave.

If she remembered correctly, her uncle's reason for seeking her out this time would have something to do with the plot of land her mother had left her.

Twenty minutes later, Evelyn knocked on the door of her Uncle Mateo's study, and unsurprisingly, Mateo's wife Riley and cousin Ella were there.

Seeing Ella again really gave her a strange, unspoken taste in her mouth.

Ella was only a year older than her, and since their fathers had co-founded a trading company, it was common sense that they should be even closer than sisters.

But growing up, Ella's biggest interest was climbing with her.

Then grades, then clothes, then jewelry, then looks, then the body; her deepest impression is that there was a high school in front of many people to confess love to her; at that time, she did not give the other party any response.

It turned out that a month later, the senior who had confessed his love for her was out and about on campus with Ella.

Sometimes, she wondered why Ella had positioned her as an imaginary enemy in her life, and it wasn't until later that she realized that when she was a student, she was well-liked, had many friends, and was embraced by her mentors and classmates.

On the contrary, Ella was not as good as her in studies, not as good looking, and even the boys she had confessed her love to in front of the whole school ended up chasing after her, her cousin, in turn.

That's why hatred between women, like friendship between men, comes inexplicably and is deeply elusive.

"Evelyn, there you are."

Matteo's voice pulled back her memories.

Mateo is in his fifties, well-maintained, and just slightly chubby.

As for Riley, who had always been bossy from memory, and Ella, who had always thought of her as an imaginary enemy, they sat silently on the couch in the den, both of them with sad looks on their faces, and Riley gave an exaggerated sniffle to prove that she had just cried.

"Riley said Uncle had something for me."

Without waiting for Mateo to speak, Riley said while crying, "Evelyn, your uncle took you into his home to take care of you after your parents passed away; this time, you must help your uncle through this difficult time."

Evelyn's heart skipped a beat in anticipation of what was about to happen, and here it came.

Just listen to Riley snotty and tearful to her last month. Uncle routinely went to the hospital for a full body checkup, and the test report states that uncle actually suffered from uremia; the doctor recommended that if you want to cure this disease, you must replace the kidney.

However, several relatives in the family found that their kidneys were not suitable for transplantation to Mateo after laboratory tests. At that exact moment, the attending doctor received an email from a hospital in the U.S. and learned that there was someone over there who had a kidney matching Mateo's, but the other party was asking for five million dollars, which was too much for us at the moment.

In desperation, the family could only turn to Evelyn for help.

If they remember correctly, Evelyn's mother brought a plot of land with her when she married her father.

The location of that site is very remote, and since the Government has not introduced any relevant policy, the site is currently left idle and not utilized.

Had Evelyn been willing to sell the land, Matteo's immediate problem would have been solved.

At the end of the day, Riley tearfully assured her that the money would be treated as if she had borrowed it and that once her uncle's company took off, he would immediately return the money he owed her in full.

While Riley was vocally telling about his uncle's condition, Mateo also let out a few helpless sighs from time to time, while Ella, who had always looked at her in a bad light, reversed her usual bratty stance and behaved very well from beginning to end.

That's how Evelyn, in her last life, was tricked by the family in front of her.

Not only did she foolishly offer the piece of land left to her by her mother to this family, but she also told them, like an i***t, that they were willing to adopt the fatherless and motherless themselves and that the piece of land would be taken as a piece of filial piety from herself, and given to her uncle with both hands.

She thought that her gesture could get her a whole family in return, but she didn't realize that all of it was nothing more than a scam made up by her uncle's family.

The family, after getting the land in her hands, ruthlessly swept her off her feet on the grounds that the family house was too small and they wanted her to move out for a while.

If it were not for her natural stubbornness, hard bones, and vowing to make some achievements to impress people, she would not have, in seven years' time, from an insignificant small staff all the way up to the position of manager of the business department.

She thought that she had gotten everything she wanted in her previous life by her own talents, but she didn't realize that Ella's existence had destroyed the beautiful dream she had created.

At the thought, Evelyn's eyes were replaced by the hatred of her last life.
