Mnie looked at Eugene when she said that; she was testing him.


    The man’s face remained calm. He merely lifted a brow and responded, “Is that so?”


    “Do you know who it is?” Mnie asked back. Seeing as it was someone who was able to hire Luther


    as Vi’swyer and get her to make such remarks about them, this indicated that the person was


    someone of significant standing.

    Mnie went through the list of people she knew in Oskon City who had something to do with Eugene


    but could not think of anyone. Thus, she asked Eugene himself.


    Eugene looked at her, dark eyes deep and serene. A moment passed before he answered with a slight


    shift in his gaze, “I don’t.”


    Mnie fixed her gaze on him but could not catch anything unusual. She bit her lip and reeled back her


    gaze.


    Zara asked a few more questions, and Mnie answered them one by one. It was all simr to what


    was written in the documents.


    “Alright, I get the specifics now. I’ll look for you if I have any more questions in the future.” With that


    said, Zara gave Mnie some program manuals and asked her to look through them.


    After thanking Zara, Mnie was prepared to leave. Just when she was about to exit through the door,


    however, Seraphine entered with a letter in her hand. “Miss Henson, the delivery has been made.”


    Without even looking up, the woman answered, “Give it to Mr. Scott.”


    Mnie paused, thinking no wonder Eugene was not making a move to leave. She pursed her lips and


    then left.


    Back in the office, Zarapleted the task at hand before looking up at the man and adjusting her


    sses. “Do you have any more questions, Mr. Scott? If not, I still have other matters to attend to.”


    “Who do you think has the greater chance of winning, Miss Henson? You, or Luther?”


    Zara paused, not expecting him to ask such a question. However, Eugene was currently a huge client


    of Navair Law Firm, so despite her doubts, she answered, “I can’t say I’m 100% confident, but I take all


    my cases seriously.”


    Mnie waited outside for about ten minutes or so before Eugene finally came out. Mnie pressed


    her lips together slightly and stood up, walking toward him.


    Eugene and slowed down. Mnie immediately asked, “Aren’t you supposed to be in Oskon City? Why


    are you in Jepton? And here of all ces.‘


    Eugene’s dark eyes lowered slightly, but he quickly raised them again after a second. He looked ahead


    expressionlessly as he replied, “I came back to sign a contract. LeapCo is changingw firms.”

    “Did you arrange for me to meet Miss Henson?”


    She was realizing now how many coincidences there were. Why did Lee call her that night and


    specifically ask her to go to LeapCo the next day? Why did she just so happen to run into Zara when


    she did?


    It was all too coincidental, and when coincidences piled up, they ceased to be coincidences.


    She followed Eugene outside and stopped in front of his car. Emotions surged in Mnie’s heart as


    she looked up at Eugene. “Eugene, if you arranged this, I’m very grateful,” she said, tone serious and


    gaze clear.


    Mnie’s words were sincere. After all, the bestwyers in Jepton were at Navair Law Firm, and Zara


    was among the top. With her help, Mnie felt a bit more at ease.


    Despite the many messy things between her and Eugene, her gratitude toward him was sincere


    at


    least when it came to this.


    Eugene unlocked the car and nced at Mnie. His gaze was light, and there seemed to be some


    emotion in his eyes that gave him a distant appearance. After observing Mnie for a moment, he


    casually averted his gaze and responded coldly, “You’re overthinking.”


    Mnie did not say anything. Whether it was Eugene or not, she had said what she needed to say.


    She turned around and walked away. Eugene stood where he was for a moment before getting into the


    car.


    Unbeknownst to either of them, they were being watched by two people who were at the opposite


    store.


    Vi’s expression was resentful while Luther was cautious. His narrowed gaze was thoughtful. He


    tapped his fingers on the table and said, “Looks like they really went to Zara for this.”


    Vi turned to him. “What’s wrong, Mr. Laing? Are you not as capable as Zara? Why did you drag me


    over as soon as you heard her name?”


    Luther’s displeasure was evident as he warned, “Miss Shaw, watch your words.”


    “I was just joking with you because you seemed nervous, Mr. Laing,” she replied with a yful tone.


    Vi was also feeling frustrated. When she went to see Matthew that day, he did not hesitate to hire


    Luther for her. She initially thought Matthew might be interested in her and wanted him to return to


    Jepton with her.


    She did not expect him to just throw her to Luther and wash his hands of the matter.


    As for Luther, he looked down on her. After they met with Mniest night, he even dared to me


    her for talking too much. Vi gritted her teeth as she felt displeasure fill her.


    However, she could not express her frustration too tantly in front of Luther, especially since she still


    needed him to handle thewsuit. Seeing that Luther was on the verge of losing his temper, Vi could


    only smile and say a few perfunctory words.

    Mnie had spent two days in Jepton and devoted almost all of her time to thewsuit with Vi. They


    were notified of the court date on Saturday night, and Zara was right–Luther’s strategy was to settle the


    matter quickly.


    Thus, the hearing was scheduled for next Wednesday morning. When Yvonne learned about this, she


    commented, “You guys are moving so fast. Why does it feel like I’ve only been gone for two days and


    everything is already settled?”


    Xander looked at Mnie’s now sharper face due to exhaustion and sald with lowered eyes, ”


    Everyone’s too tiredtely. Let’s all take a good rest during the new year.”


    It was only when he mentioned it that Mnie realized there was only a month left until the festivities.


    However, it remained to be seen if they could be celebrated.


    Mnie gazed out into the night outside the window, her thoughts slowing down. “Hey, Mnie!”


    Yvonne suddenly eximed in surprise as she leaned in. “Why do I feel like your belly is starting to


    show recently?”


    Mnie was stunned and followed Yvonne’s gaze to her belly, which was t and even looked a bit


    empty under her coat.


    The night proved restless for Mnie. She dreamed of many things–her grandfather, Dn, Howard,


    and even Eugene, whom she had just met earlier that day.


    When she woke up in the morning, there was an urgent knock on her door even before she was done


    packing her things. It was Yvonne, and she looked anxious. She smelled of alcohol and was still


    wearing her heels.


    Gasping for breath, she said to Mnie, “Mel, when I wasing back from the bar, I heard someone


    say that a woman jumped off a building at the hospital. The description sounded a bit like your mom
