Eugene''s expression remained cold as he looked at Mnie, not saying a word. Vi whispered beside him, “Eugene, it’ste,


    and it’s raining. There’s no reason for Mnie to take a taxi, right?”


    She smiled mischievously before adding, “It’s okay, we can just send her home. | won''t be jealous.”


    “Why can’t she take a taxi?”


    As soon as Vi said that, Simon, who had been looking at his phone, lifted his head and said to Mnie, “You''re not a child.


    You can find your way home by taking a taxi.”


    He continued, “I’ve had a bit too much to drink, and | want to lie down in the back seat for a while. You should be able to find your


    way home, right?”


    Thest sentence was directed at Mnie. She raised her phone and said calmly, “No need to trouble yourself. I''ve booked a


    ride.”


    Simon said, “At least you know your own limits.”


    Mnie could not be bothered to respond to him. She took the umbre from Joshua and walked straight out. However, when


    she passed by Eugene, she heard a cold and mocking chuckle from him.This belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?.


    She had no idea what that was about and tightened her grip on the umbre handle as she made her way outside. The Hewitt


    family’s residence was also in the vi area, and to get out, it would take at least 20 minutes on foot.


    Fortunately, the streetmps were bright enough, so there were no issues.


    The taxi she ordered arrived quickly. The driver waited at the entrance for a while before eventually calling Mnie. Just as


    Mnie hung up the phone, she heard honking behind her. Standing right under a streemp, she could clearly see that it was


    Eugene''s car.


    There were puddles on the road, so Mnie moved to the side to avoid getting sshed by water. However, due to the rain and


    the speed of the car, Mnie could not entirely escape being sshed.


    Her clothes got wet with muddy water, making her feel ufortable. Mnie furrowed her brows.


    However, the car suddenly came to a halt beside her. The front window rolled down, and Eugene''s slightly cold voice said, “Get


    in.”


    Mnie gripped the umbre. “I’ve already called a ride. The car is here.”


    Eugene''s voice took on a bit of impatience. “I don’t want to see headlines about a LeapCo employee getting into trouble in the


    middle of the night.”


    Lowering her gaze, she was about to retort when she heard Eugene''s increasingly cold tone say again, “Do | need to get out and


    open the door for you?”


    Mnie did not refuse this time. She closed the umbre, opened the back door, and saw Simon sitting insidezily.

    He looked at Mnie and said in an unfriendly manner, “Do | need to kneel to you before you''ll get in


    the car?”


    Mnie brought the umbre into the car with her. Then, Vi, who was in the front passenger seat, turned her head to look


    disapprovingly at Mnie.


    “Mnie, you really are something. It’s sote. Why insist on taking a taxi by yourself? Did you even consider your safety? If


    something were to happen, who would take responsibility?”


    Mnie looked up to nce at Vi. Her expression was innocent, as if she really thought Mnie did not understand things


    and was being willful.


    Simon sneered. “Maybe she knew Eugene wouldn''t let her go, so she decided to act like that.”


    He raised a brow at Mnie right after saying that and added, “Putting on a weak front, | see you''re quite versed with such


    tactics.”


    Mnie pursed her lips and merely remained silent. What else could she say? All the words had alreadye out of their


    mouths.
