Eugene’s words were sharp. Mnie pursed her lips and did not respond. The items Eugene’s grandfather had given her were


    worth no less than five figures even if they were just trinkets.


    Moreover, among them was a bracelet. Mnie was unsure if Eugene still remembered it.N?velD(ram)a.?rg owns this content.


    It was the year when Henry Scott’s health took a sudden turn for the worse. Eugene had brought Mnie with him to visit Henry,


    who took out a bracelet in front of Eugene. He said that it was left by Eugene’s grandmother for their future granddaughter—in—


    law.


    Afraid that he would not live to see their marriage, he gave it to Mnie. Mnie hesitated to ept it, but Eugene took it for


    her.


    Mnie had been keeping the bracelet well. This time, she remembered to take it out when she was sorting out the things that


    she needed to return to Henry. She was not his granddaughter—inw, so it was not right for her to keep the bracelet.


    Holding onto the box, Mnie did not want to argue with Eugene about this matter. She was just worried about hurting Henry’s


    feelings. However, keeping these items made her feel ufortable.


    “I''ll find a chance to return the things to him myself,” she said softly.


    Acold sneer escaped from Eugene’s throat. His dark and brooding gaze showed no trace of emotion, and his jawline was tense.


    Henry was staying at the Scott family’s residence. Knowing that Mnie and Ste had a strained rtionship, he suggested


    meeting at a private restaurant. He was already waiting for them at the restaurant when they arrived.


    The old man waved kindly upon seeing Eugene and Mnie. “Mel,e over and have a seat.”


    His greeting caught her off guard but then she asked, “Mr. Henry, are you feeling well?”


    Henry took a gift bag from the caregiver beside him and handed it to Mnie. His hair was already fully white. There was a smile


    on his face. “Look at the gift | brought you. When | saw this, | immediately thought of you.”


    Inside the bag was a pair of exquisite jewelry of excellent quality.


    Mnie hesitated. “Mr. Henry, it’s too valuable. | can’t possibly ept this.”


    “It doesn’t matter how valuable it is, it’s for you. I’m willing to give you even more valuable items,” Henry said with a smile.


    After saying that, he looked at Eugene beside him and said with some dissatisfaction, “I can’t say the same for him, though.”


    Mnie pretended not to hear Henry’s words and pushed the bag back, saying firmly, “Mr. Henry, this is really too much. | can’t


    ept it.”


    The smile on the old man’s face faded, and he sighed. He then red at Eugene. “It’s all because of you, wretched/boy. Now


    Mel and | aren’t close anymore.”


    Eugene remained expressionless as he asked indifferently, “What does it have to do with me?”


    Henry furrowed his eyebrows. He looked as if he wanted to scold Eugene, but he held back.


    Mnie had to be more gentle with Henry and said softly, “As long as you''re okay, the rest doesn’t matter.”


    The moment she said that, she felt Eugene looking at her beside her.


    The gaze was subtle, but it probably was not a good sign. Mnie pretended not to notice.


    Henry''s eyes moved back and forth between the two before he suddenly sighed deeply. Mnie frowned. “What''s the matter?”


    ‘Nothing, | just find it a bit regretful,” Henry said with a wave of his hand. He looked at Mnie affectionately and said, “This


    stubborn brat of mine is not fortunate enough.”


    Henry kept steering the conversation toward Mnie and Eugene today. Mnie’s eyes darkened slightly, but she pressed her


    lips together and said nothing.
