    After hearing Mnie out, Annie chuckled over the phone. “Someone’s getting in hot soup this time!”


    “This is the price for provoking me the moment she returned to Harbor City. Consider it a generous gift from me,” Mnie said


    indifferently.


    “Mnie’s unique gift of a harsh lesson. It''ll be a kicker!” Annie hung up with a chuckle.


    Mnie kept her phone and went to the washroom to freshen her makeup before emerging once more looking fabulous.


    Things were warming up in the banquet. Even Olivia, who had been trying to keep a low profile since the banquet, started to


    unt around like a peacock, exuding irrepressible charm.


    That was because a big shot had just arrived at the banquet hall.


    Mnie turned to see the impably clean and neat-looking man. She didn’t expect to see Leo York here.


    Leo looked even fairer andnkier from afar. He asionally coughed into a napkin, looking like he was unwell.


    Many grandchildren of the Yorks died early, while those who managed to survive till adulthood suffered from physical ailments.


    Mnie had long heard about the family’s condition, but these weaknesses weren''t considered so in the eyes of outsiders.


    It was the Yorks they were talking about, after all. The family had endless funds and connections that could help them extend


    their lives.


    Realization dawned upon Mnie how prepared Olivia was this time. She had ignored all other men because she was preparing


    herself for Mr. York.


    Yet, after hovering around Leo and trying many times amidst the romantic melody in the air, Olivia failed to get Leo to even


    nce at her.


    Instead, Leo noticed Mnie at a corner. He exchanged nces with Mnie, and walked over to her with a smile on his face.


    “Ms. Jones, may | have this dance?” Leo reached out to her, gantly extending his harm to her.


    “But of course.”


    Mnie reached out to put her hand in his.


    Gasps resounded in the hall. Did Mr. York used to know Mnie Jones? Why did he ask her for a dance?


    Their hands were about to touch in the air, drawing attention from the surrounding crowd. Suddenly, a disharmonious female


    voice broke the dreamy atmosphere in the air.


    “Mr. York! You really shouldn''t be asking her for a dance!”


    Olivia strutted over on her limited edition heels as she nced at Mnie in disdain.

    “Who are you?” Leo was displeased. “Who are you to dictate who | dance with?”


    “It doesn’t matter who | am. You''ll understand why once | exin my reasons to you,” Olivia said with a wave of her hand.


    Someone behind her stepped forward, and handed her a small remote control.


    Olivia posed mboyantly as she pressed a button on the remote control. A news report shed onto the big


    screen, drawing everyone’s attention to the photos featured on it.


    In the photo, Mnie was surrounded by Medonia policemen. People who were envious and jealous of her just seconds ago


    started whispering under their breaths.


    “Awhile back, the president of Shadow Group, Mr. Charles Miller, died from an electric shock attack due to a


    taser. I’m sure everyone has heard about that? Mnie Jones wasn''t far from Charles Miller when the attackOriginal content from N?velDrama.Org.


    urred. She''s the key suspect of this case! She was nabbed by the police, and she even got locked up!”


    Olivia narrated the news report as it yed on the big screen while the guests at the banquet watched on.


    It was a news report before the culprit confessed to his crime. Mnie was indeed reported to be the number


    one suspect of the case, and it corroborated with Olivia’s ims. However, Olivia exaggerated the details.


    Everyone started to look at Mnie with increasing doubt.


    Leo’s pale face darkened, as he sneered in frustration. “Were you at the scene? Neither did you witness it with your own eyes,


    nor do you know what happened thereafter. You''re trying to frame Ms. Jones.”


    “Mr. York, | know that you''re a germaphobe and cleanliness is of top priority for you. Do you think a woman like Mnie Jones,


    who’s always involved in scandals and criminals, can be clean?” Olivia said.


    She refused to let things go, and continued to poke at Leo’s heart with the words she had prepared since long


    ago.


    Leo wanted to say something further, but Mnie stepped forward and whispered into his ear, “Mr. York, do


    you want to help me?”


    “Of course, | do.”


    “Please ask your subordinate to lend me aptop, then,” Mnie asked, calm and collected.


    Leo didn’t understand what Mnie was doing, but he didn’t question her. Instead, he instructed his subordinate to do as


    Mnie asked. Very soon, his subordinate came back with aptop in hand.


    Mnie swiftly sent a message to Annie. “The time hase.”


    She lifted the hem of her skirt and bent over as her fingers flew across the keyboard. She navigated to the front
