She received a reply almost immediately after she sent the message. Vi’s gaze took on a sharp edge. Mason, who was


    watching her, seemed somewhat concerned. “Are you okay?”


    Vi came back to her senses. Biting her lip, she replied weakly, “I’m fine.”


    Mason raised his hand to touch her forehead. “It’s all my fault. | shouldn’t have let youe here.”


    A fragile smile appeared on Vi’s face. She did not brush Mason’s hand away from her forehead. Innocent tears filled her pure


    and clear eyes, yet she pretended to be strong.


    Mason’s brows furrowed as he felt his heart softening.


    After Mnie and Eugene parted ways, she took a taxi straight to the vi. She initially nned to go back to the North district,


    but the jewelry set that Henry gave her was too precious. She was worried that something might happen if she left it there, so


    she brought it with her to the vi.


    Xander and the others had not returned yet. Only Yvonne was there.


    Yvonne looked spirited as she greeted Mnie with enthusiasm. Seeing the bag in Mnie’s hand, she eximed, “What did


    buy?”


    “It’s not something | bought. It’s a gift from someone.”


    “Well, that person is quite generous. My dad bought a jewelry set from this brand for my mom before. It’s not cheap.”


    Having learned the price of the set from Eugene, Mnie nodded and went back to her room. She bumped into Xander and the


    others who had just returned just as she wasing back down. After greeting them, she went into the study.


    She needed to deal with some documents that were piled up from yesterday.Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org.


    However, as soon as she entered the study, she received a call from Henry. “Mel, did Eugene escort you home?” Henry asked


    with concern.


    “lm home,” Mnie paused. “Is there something you need, Mr. Henry?”


    Henry sighed. “That fool. | know you’ve been wronged. Don’t worry, I''ll teach him a lesson.”


    Mnie did not respond to him. Henry was ming and criticizing Eugene because he wanted to protect her.


    “Mel, you''re the only granddaughter—inw in my heart. You and Eugene-.”


    Mnie cut him off calmly before he could finish. “Mr. Henry, if you want to see me, | cane to visit you anytime. But Eugene


    already has a girlfriend, so let’s not talk about those things anymore.”


    The man snorted. “Girlfriend? | don’t think much of that little girl!”


    “She’s a good person, and Eugene really likes her,” Mnie replied. This was a fact evident in Eugene’s indulgence toward her.


    Henry went on a slight rant again when he heard that, but Mnie did not want to talk about


    them any longer. Instead, she redirected the conversation.


    After chatting with the old man briefly, she hung up. Mnie then immersed herself in work. Their coboration with Ca would


    be advancing next week, and she needed to prepare a proposal in advance.


    As for Henry, the warmth disappeared from his face the moment the call ended. He handed the phone to the caregiver beside


    him and said indifferently, “Call Eugene. Tell him I’m heading to LeapCo.”


    When Henry was younger, he was decisive and resolute. Only when he grew older did he gradually delegate authority and stop


    meddling in affairs.


    Mnie had no idea that Henry was about to cause trouble for Eugene after ending the call.
