Chapter 384 Reason for Hiding


    “Nothing special.”


    Mnie answered calmly.


    Joseph then stopped looking at her and looked down. “I owe both mother and son a lot, so I’ve been trying to


    find a way topensate them all this while. | wonder if the gods will give me this chance.”


    After pausing for a while, he then looked at Mnie. “Well, aren’t you supposed to console me at a time like


    this?”Material ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    “| thought that someone like you wouldn’t want to hear words that mean nothing.” Mnie answered. “All |


    can say is that... It will be true if you believe in it.”


    “Haha!”


    Joseph let out augh, his loneliness suddenly gone. “You''re getting more and more interesting, girl!”


    Mnie used this chance to ask him, “Is it because I’m interesting that you’ve been monitoring me?”


    Joseph obviously frowned and the atmosphere around them immediately cooled down. In the silence, Mnie


    refused to give up. She didn’t change the subject, because she had been seeking the answer to that question.


    The butler couldn''t help but tightened his hands behind his back.


    After a while, Joseph’s eyes moved. He didn’t want the confrontation to continue and resumed the


    conversation. “Why did you ask that?”


    “You and Leo both treat me very well... So well that I’m getting wary of it. | was curious about it, so | wanted to


    ask you directly. Why?” Mnie asked.


    “While my two grandsons are proficient in blending fragrances, their potential is quite ordinary. They’re not the


    cream of the crop. And also, because of their special identity, the Yorks will need you when we''re in simr


    circumstances after this. Just like how you helped that Ustalian yesterday,” Joseph exined.


    He then turned and nced at Mnie. “As for why Leo is treating you that well you can go ask him yourself.”


    After he said that, Mnie couldn’t ask him anything more. However, the doubt in her heart hadn’t been


    dispelled. The attention that he was giving her was not something as simple as wanting to recruit her for his


    ns.


    They chatted for about half an hour. When Mnie saw Joseph was getting a little tired, she then left and said


    her farewells.


    The butler personally saw her out and kept on apologizing, saying that it was the Yorks‘ fault for not being able to stop the


    assassination from taking ce and ending up giving her a fright.


    He suggested sending her back to the hotel with their own car to prevent anyone else from attempting to harm her, but Mnie


    rejected his proposal, saying that her friend’s car was waiting outside and that she wouldn’t be in danger.

    She had spent a lot of time with Joseph and didn’t want to make the injured boy wait any longer.


    After seeing Mnie off, the butler immediately returned to the study and said, “Master Joseph, I’ve seen Ms.


    Mnie off.”


    “Has shepleted her divorce with Jeffrey?” Joseph asked with a frown.


    “Jeffrey hasn’t signed it yet,” the butler said.


    “Find a woman that looks like her to make their rtionship deteriorate further. This idea came from a certain ...Nathan Quinn?”


    Joseph asked again. “I vaguely remember that name. Where have | heard it before?”


    “Nathan is Emma’s brother. The Quinns also had some businesses here many years ago, but they''re no longer in Medonia,” the


    butler exined. “Nathan was Master Leo’s peer in the business school. You must have


    heard his name back then.”


    “Leo?”


    “Yes, but Master Leo and Nathan are not acquainted with each other,” the butler exined.


    Joseph nodded and then asked, “Why does Nathan want to ruin the rtionship between Mnie and Jeffrey?”


    “All those years ago, Jeffrey and Emma were in love. His rtionship with Nathan was also quite cordial. After Emma’s death,


    Nathan must have been affected as well. | believe that... He couldn’t stand Jeffrey falling in


    love with another woman,” the butler said as he analyzed the situation.


    “You believe?”


    Joseph suddenly opened his eyes, a hint of viciousness in them.


    The butler subconsciously bent over and quickly said, “This is just my analysis... It’s not necessarily the


    truth...”


    “You don’t even believe your own words! Ever since Nathan went back, everything he did was against them. Is there a deeper


    reason for all of this?”


    After pausing a while, Joseph immediately said, “Investigate him! Leave no stones unturned!”


    “Of course, Master Joseph!” the butler said.
