Chapter 383 Special Day
Mnie moved very quickly. By the time that Leo managed to clean up, she had already taken what she needed and sat on the
sofa waiting for him.
“| need to thank you for just now. If it wasn’t for you, I’m the one that would''ve be injured,” Mnie said.
“Don’t thank me. | didn’t manage to help much. Jeffrey''s the one that got injured for you.”Material ? of N?velDrama.Org.
When talking about Jeffrey, Leo stared right into her eyes.
Mnie was left feeling awkward after that.
“The butler said that the person who attempted the assassination is Charles''s underling, and that he’s here to get revenge.” Leo
said.
“But I’m not the one that killed Charles,” Mnie said.
“After Charles was killed, you were the primary suspect. While the murderer has given up himself, Charles’s family believes that
the murderer is simply following orders,” Leon exined to her.
“So that’s why they believe that I’m the real culprit?” Mnie shook her head, speechless. “I don’t even know Charles. Why
would | kill a stranger?”
“Charles had something against the Gibsons a long time ago. t’s possible that his family believes that Elder Gibson is the one
that ordered you to do it.”
“Then | should give him a reminder. He’ll being to Medonia in a few days, so I''ll warn him that someone might want to exact
their revenge,” Mnie immediately said.
“The rtionship between you two is quite deep.”
However, Leo didn’t want to talk more about the assassination, and Mnie also didn’t want to mention it anymore, which was
understandable. Before she left, she suddenly remembered something and asked, “Those drawings in the study. You drew
them?”
“Yeah.”
There was a glimmer of interest in Leo’s eyes as he nodded.
“| didn’t expect you to be a realist painter, I’m impressed,” Mnie said with a smile. “I won''t disturb your rest anymore. I''ll visit
you next time.”
Leo’s reaction after she asked about the drawings was quite nervous and awkward. Mnie blinked, feeling that the men in the
paintings weren''t Leo himself.
Harlow had probably gotten it wrong.
An assassination had stopped the party early.

After Mnie left Leo’s room, she was also going to say her goodbye to the butler. But before she could even finish saying it, the
butler said. “Miss Mnie, Master Joseph has finally sent ourst guests away and has some time. He wishes to see you.”
Mnie paused for a second and nodded.
She wasn’t surprised.
When the butler invited her, Joseph had already said that he would like to invite her to visit him.
The butler led her past the buildings and walked past an exquisite garden, and after that garden was a single building: Joseph’s
study.
Joseph was sitting in a wheelchair as he enjoyed the wind from outside the window. To be honest, he didn’t look too different
from other old men who had reached his age.
If there was a difference, then it would be that his tall nose and high cheekbones could still show the image of him holding onto
great power. While he had already announced that he was retiring a few years ago, he had never truly retired from the business
world.
“You''re here?”
Joseph turned and looked at Mnie. The light in his eyes was what separated him from other men of his age.
“Hello, Master Joseph.”
Mnie approached him.
Joseph raised his hand and pointed at the sofa nearby. “Have a seat.”
“Thank you,” Mnie walked over and sat down.
“| used the fragrance you blended for me a few days ago. The beginning and middle of the fragrance were just
like what you said, but thest part of the fragrance wasn’t as strong as the beginning and the middle. To you,
am | not someone that has always been forceful?” Joseph asked.
Mnie smiled and said, “To be honest, | know little about you. But | do know that you are someone that loves
your country, and that you''re also a businessman with a strong sense of duty.”
“Ha...”
Joseph''s eyes looked away, and he suddenly smiled. “Is there nothing else you can praise me for?”
“These are all outstanding qualities. I’m just telling you what | really feel,” Mnie said.
Joseph nodded and smiled before changing the topic. “Do you know why I chose to set up this party in my
home?”
Mnie shook her head, waiting for him to continue.
“Today is the birthday of my youngest son.”
Joseph suddenly raised his head and looked far beyond the horizon.

Mnie said nothing. She’d heard that Joseph’s youngest son had been kidnapped after he was born and then went missing.
She wouldn’t be stupid enough to wish him a happy birthday.
Joseph abruptly looked at her and asked, “Is today a special day for you?
