Chapter 389


    “4.5 million?” No one could tell from Eugene’s tone what he was thinking, but the look of disgust was clear in his eyes.


    He was a proud man, and he looked arrogantly at George for a moment before nodding slowly.” Alright, I''ll give you the money.”


    Mnie jerked her head up and saw Eugene’s head lowering slightly. His long eyshes blocked the look in his eyes, and she


    could not tell what was going through his mind.


    George’s eyes lit up with delight. He did not care that there were two big and tall security guards holding him down. He kept


    reaching his neck out to Eugene. “Are you telling the truth? Are you really giving me 1.5 million?”


    When Eugene looked up, there was a frosty look in his eyes. He stared at George’s happy face with a cold look. “Either get out


    or I''ll call the police.”


    George had gotten what he wanted, and the ferocious look on his face disappeared. He began to put on a friendly demeanor as


    he said with a creepy smile, “Remember to transfer the money to me.”


    He looked at Mnie and said, “You''re finally useful for once. Serve Mr. Scott well!”


    Hisst words sounded terrible, and Mnie looked extremely upset. However, she was in no


    condition to continue dealing with a dirtbag like George. She looked at Eugene. She was still thinking


    about the 1.5 million.


    This fiasco had gone out for ten minutes, and everyone slowly left after George had vanished.


    Yana looked at Mnie sadly. “Are you alright, Mnie?”


    Mnie’s face was pale, and she looked quite broken. She shook her head and said, “I’m fine.”


    Yana wanted to say more, but she jumped when she met Eugene’s dark eyes. She knew what she had to do. She whispered to


    Mnie, “I need to clock in to work, Mnie. I''ll be heading upstairs first.”


    After that, she left.


    Before Yana left, she added in a whisper, “Just call me if you need anything.”


    Now that all themotion from this morning had ceased, Mnie had time to feel exhausted.


    However, she was still feeling fear from what just happened. That was when she heard Eugene’s distant voice. “Aren’t you going


    to exin yourself?”


    “|...” Mnie wanted to say something, but she stopped because she realized she had no idea what to


    say.


    Eugene snorted. “First, it was your mother. Now, it’s your stepfather. Do you think LeapCo is your


    ATM?


    “It doesn’t matter if it''s loan sharks or who you owe debts to. If you need money, all they need to do is


    Chapter 389


    use you as a bank card to get money here?*.


    2/2


    Heughed sardonically. His voice was cold and deep as he continued, “I can’t keep allowing you to cross the line, Mnie.”


    George and Dn had been to LeapCo twice, and it had affected thepany negatively. Even though Mnie knew that they


    had nothing to do with her, they were her family in the eyes of others.


    Mnie lowered her eyes. Her throat tightened, but she took a deep breath and said to Eugene, “You shouldn’t have promised


    him that 1.5 million.”


    “| shouldn’t have?” Eugene looked at Mnie. Aplicated look shed in his eyes. “Even if you’re willing to be harassed by


    loan sharks, LeapCo can’t afford to be implicated in such a situation. People like that would only cling to you. They''re nothing but


    bad luck.”


    He was right. People like George would never listen to reason. They were shameless to a fault.


    Mnie was silent. She had no idea how to describe how she was feeling. She felt lost and bitter. The only thing left for her to


    get through with this was her dignity.


    After a while, she heard herself say, “I''ll find a way to return that 1.5 million to you.”


    “As you wish,” Eugene said nonchntly.


    Mnie pressed her lips together. Her face and muscles were numb. She had no idea what she looked


    like now. Mnie’s mind was nk, but there was one thing she still remembered.
