Chapter 472


    There was nothing much to talk about between Eugene and Mnie. She did not want to exin their situation to anyone either.


    Suddenly, someone''s phone rang, interrupting Henry, who had been about to say something. He looked at Eugene, who was


    looking at his phone, with displeasure. Eugene did not hesitate to end the call.


    However, the phone rang again three secondster. Eugene answered the call emotionlessly and asked, “What''s the matter?”


    Vi was standing in a corner with her phone in hand. Hérplexion did not look too good. Eugene, where are you now?”


    “Outside,” Eugene replied.


    “Are you... with someone?”Published by N?v''elD/rama.Org.


    Eugene responded indifferently, “I’m busy with something. If there’s nothing, I''ll hang up


    now.


    Vi felt like she was choking, as if her throat was being squeezed. “Can youe and apany me? | think | caught a cold.


    | feel terrible,” she said hoarsely.


    Eugene remained silent.


    Vi hurriedly said a few more words and then ended the call. She looked at Mason, who was sitting across from her, and said


    pitifully, “He really lied to me.”


    Pity shed past his features. “I shouldn’t have brought you here. You wouldn’t have seen all this otherwise. It’s my fault.”


    Vi shook her head. She looked past the verdant fence and saw Mnie and Eugene sitting together. There was also an old


    man sitting across from them. Eugene seemed very respectful toward him.


    She originally nned to have dinner with Mason today, but halfway through, he suddenly decided to change the location.


    After pressing him repeatedly, she finally learned that he had seen Mnie and Eugene here.


    “Who was that?” Henry’s tone lost its previous kindness as he stared at Eugene.


    Eugene replied calmly, “No one.”


    Hearing that, Henry snorted coldly. “Don’t think | don’t know anything.”


    Mnie sat there quietly, listening to Henry’s words. There were only four people in the private room, and it was quiet. She had


    caught the voice on the other end of the phone call and knew it was Vi.


    Standing up, she said, “Mr. Henry, | have to go to the bathroom.”


    Henry nodded happily, watching her leave. However, when he looked back at Eugene, his expression turned cold.


    Furrowing his brows, he looked at Eugene and lowered his voice, saying, “Eugene, your


    e!


    RASKED


    mother told me that you have a new girlfriend from thepany?


    “I''m telling you this now. It’s not only your mother who disapproves of her, but | do too. That girl has nothing—no capability or


    background. Why keep her around?” Henry continued.


    Eugene raised an eyebrow. “And what background does Mnie have?”


    Henry''s once cloudy eyes brightened. He snorted. “I didn’t agree with your parents’ marriage because your father had twisted


    thoughts. He insisted on relying on other families to make ours more glorious.


    “However, the Hels were too formidable, and your father wasn’t able to control them at all.


    “Eugene, I’ve told you this before. You must consider your own value when looking for a wife. Moreover, you must be able to


    handle her and grasp her value and abilities.‘


    The man’s voice was soft, but each word he spoke rang clear. It was entirely different from the gentle and amiable tone he had


    used with Mnie earlier. He sounded more like a shrewd businessman now.


    Eugene’s brows twitched, and he gripped his phone slightly tighter. After a moment, he chuckled casually and said in aid-back


    manner, “Grandpa, do you think I’m less capable than Mnie?”


    He then scoffed. “You''re giving her too much credit.”
