Mnie’s eyshes lifted slightly. “I have nothing to do with them anymore. Do whatever you
want.”

before nodding. “Okay.”
Mnie nodded. “Anything else?”
She did not particrly like LeapCo or Eugene right now.
Eugene paused. Then, he raised his eyebrows and said coldly, “I told you before that if you want to stand at the top, you have to
harden your heart to everyone.”
His eyes were dark, suppressing emotions Mnie could not understand. “But you never took my advice to heart.”

Mnie felt as if she were suffering from motion sickness. Her head was spinning. “You guys can go ahead without me,” she

Reny turned to look at Xander. When she saw that there was no expression on his face, she could not help but remind him softly,
“Boss, | can tell that Mnie’s been going through a rough time recently. Try to show her some concern when you have the
time.”
After saying that, she added, “Don’t wait until she ends up with someone else. Then you''ll really regret it.”

Mnie slept in a daze. She felt like she was in a dream.
Eugene’s voice kept ringing in her ears. “I told you before that if you want to stand at the top, you have to harden your heart to
everyone.”

Eugene, she realized how drunk he was.
He reeked of alcohol, and his usually clear eyes were stormy. He looked a little scary.
Mnie could not see clearly to begin with, and Eugene reminded her to be careful. However, she was so worried about Eugene
that she drove straight into the grass beside the road for
some reason.
The person beside her groaned. Mnie was suddenly at a loss. She panicked and tried to reverse the car out of the shrubs.
However, before she could step on the elerator, someone grabbed her hand and pulled her into an embrace that reeked of
alcohol.
Before she could react, Eugene was on top of her.
