Mnie observed Eugene quietly with her phone in hand. She was notpletely clueless considering she had years of


    experience. When she sensed something was wrongst night, she immediately took advantage of the time she spent calling


    Yvonne to start a recording.


    Originally, her intention was to gather evidence against Mason, but unexpectedly, she ended up with evidence against Vi and


    Quentin.


    She looked at her phone. It had only 21% battery left. Opening the file transfer assistant, she sent the recording to save it.


    Eugene’s shirt was unbuttoned, revealing his prominent Adam’s apple that was illuminated by the faint morning light. Mnie


    could not see his expression clearly as he was facing the light, but she heard him reply casually without any seriousness at all,


    “Why should | testify for you?


    Mnie paused. She was not surprised. It would be strange if he was willing to help her. She was nning to sue Vi, and it


    would be shocking if Eugene supported her act.N?velDrama.Org content.


    It did not matter, though.


    Mnie raised a brow, her beautiful eyes no longer carrying the tenderness and charm from the night before. Instead, they were


    calm.


    “I''m just informing you that | have enough evidence now,” she said simply, her voice hoarse but calm. She looked back at her


    phone and chuckled lightly. “She made a mistake talking so much.”


    Mnie still felt a bit sore and eased herself onto the couch in the room. An unpleasant smell lingered in the air, causing


    Mnie’s brows to furrow slightly.


    Being in such an environment, she could not help but feel slightly difited despite her calm outward appearance. Moreover,


    Eugene was standing there.


    There was a moment of silence. Eugene did not answer until his phone’s brief ringing interrupted the silence. Mnie looked at


    Eugene, whose eyes narrowed slightly as he answered the phone.


    Due to the distance between them, Mnie could not hear what was happening. She could only see Eugene’s expression


    turning cold.


    The call ended, and Eugene immediately directed his dark eyes at Mnie. “Something is going on at thepany. | have to


    go.


    Mnie nodded but did not say much. The forced peace between the two of them was not enough to encourage further


    communication.


    After a brief pause, Eugene bent down to pick up his coat and made straight for the door. Mnie looked at his upright figure


    before she lowered her gaze slightly. “Eugene,” she called


    out to him.


    Eugene''s footsteps paused, and he turned his head to the side.


    “Last night was just an ident. Can you please not tell anyone?” she said calmly.


    It was one thing for her to be unfazed by what happened, but it was good to keep it from


    spreading.


    Eugene, however, immediately replied to her in a mocking tone, “Are you afraid of someone finding out?”


    His deep and dark eyes were drilling holes into Mnie. His thin lips curled upward as he sneered. “Don’t worry, | don’t have


    time to waste. Besides, you''re nothing more than that.”


    With that said, he left.


    Only then was Mnie able to rx slightly. However, the room was so gloomy, and that lingering scent seemed to tease her


    incessantly. Mnie sat there for a while before getting up to get some fresh air by the window. By the time Yvonne came over,


    the smell in the room had mostly dissipated.
