Chapter 263


    Simon''s voice faded into the noisy music. No one else could hear his words other than Eugene beside him.


    Eugene paused and said, “I had something to deal with.”


    Simon asked, “Did he call you there again? It’s strange that even though your mother isn’t close with her side of the family, you


    are.


    “By the way, is your uncleing to Jepton? | saw him on the news two days ago.”


    Someone heard his words and quipped, “Hey, Simon, | didn’t know you like watching the


    news.”


    “Hey! I’m good at everything, okay?”


    Simon and those guys quipped. The guy who spoke just now spotted Yvonne. Surprised to see her, he greeted, “Yvonne, are


    you here to drink? Do you want to join us?”


    Those wealthy people in Jepton were divided into a few social circles, and not everyone was close to each other even though


    they knew each other.


    Just as the man greeted Yvonne, Simon and the others looked over and happened to see Mnie and Xander too.


    The lights in the bar were shy and dim. It was not easy to see their expressions.


    Mnie held onto Yvonne and said, “We''ll drive you back.”Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org.


    However, before they could leave, Simon shouted, “It’s a beautiful coincidence that we met. It’s my birthday today. Why don’t you


    join us, Miss Lowry?”


    Yvonne stopped. She liked to have fun, but she was reminded of thest time Mnie met Simon and Eugene at the bar.


    She did not answer and looked at Mnie instead.


    “Mnie, we''re acquaintances. Aren''t you going to agree to my birthday invitation?” Simon noticed Yvonne''s hesitation and


    asked Mnie instead.


    However, his words sounded sarcastic rather than friendly.


    Mnie frowned and said to Yvonne, “You can join them if you want. I’ll go back by taxi.”


    “I''ll be alone if you leave.” Yvonne was reluctant to let Mnie leave without her.


    Simon scoffed and regarded Mnie in disdain. “Mnie, are you avoiding Eugene because of the trouble you brought to


    LeapCo? | remember you weren''t like this and always followed Eugene everywhere as though you couldn’t leave his side. Why


    are you running away now?”


    Simon was trying to embarrass Mnie. Only then did Mnie nce at Eugene, who had said nothing.


    She could endure her emotions, but she could not allow herself to be bullied as others wished.


    Since Eugene had put her into this situation and wanted to have nothing to do with her, she had nothing to care about.

    She looked at Simon after retracting her gaze from Eugene. She mocked him, “Simon, each time you speak up for Eugene, you


    make me wonder if you have a secret crush on him.


    “You look resentful, like someone who can’t get his love. But | think you''re looking for the wrong person. Your love rival now is


    Vi, not me.


    “Oh, remember to interact more with Mrs. Scott so that she''ll agree to let you marry Eugene.”


    Mnie did not pause or hold back. Everyone around Simon snickered.


    Only Simon’s face was ashen as he red at Mnie. “Repeat it if you dare!”


    Mnie calmly lifted her chin. She had a strong air about her from being in the business world for so many years, and it was


    intimidating.


    Her voice was cold. “Simon, haven''t anyone told you that you''re quite annoying?”


    She had endured it whenever Simon mocked her before because of Eugene.


    However, she noticed her endurance had only brought sorrow and pain to herself.


    It did not stop Simon from mocking her as entertainment.
