Evelyn smiled and was the first to speak, “Mnie, don’t you think we’re fated? It’s like we meet just


    about everywhere.”


    “The main urban area of Prime City is only so big,” Mnie simply replied.


    “Well, that’s perfect. Since we’ve run into each other, why don’t we have a meal together? Eugene is


    also here today, and you used to be his secretary. Maybe you can catch up.”


    Evelyn emphasized the word ‘secretary‘ and nced at Mnie’s stomach when she mentioned


    catching up.


    For some reason, Mnie felt repulsed by Evelyn. She subtly shifted away, avoiding Evelyn’s gaze.


    However, Evelyn did not seem to want to let her off. Although her tone was casual, there was also a


    sense of relentless pressure.


    “How many months pregnant are you? Have you found the child’s biological father yet? I heard that


    your pregnancy came quite suddenly,” she said, trailing off at the end deliberately and leaving the rest


    to the imagination.


    Seeing her gloat, Mnie remainedposed as she replied, “Miss Shue, have you heard the saying


    that one could live to be a hundred if they ceased to meddle in others‘ affairs?”


    “You!” Evelyn’s expression turned slightly cold. Just as she was about to speak, Peyton stopped her. ”


    Stop it!”


    Evelyn red at Mnie resentfully before turning and leaving. Peyton’s face remained


    expressionless, but she gave Mnie a meaningful look before following Evelyn out.

    The already narrow corridor became even tighter after Evelyn shoved into Mnie. She stepped aside,


    and a shadow loomed over her. She looked up to see Eugene.


    He stood before her. The weather in Prime City was war


    enough for him to wear only a shirt.


    Eugene looked particrly good in ck, which entuated the air of pride and nobility about him.


    Standing in front of Mnie, he exuded a strong sense of pressure. “What are you doing here?” he


    asked.


    Mnie looked up, her features seemingly encased in ice. “You seem to be very concerned about me.”


    Eugene’s expression turned stern, and the darkness in his eyes deepened. “When are you going back


    to Jepton?”


    His question was expected. Mnie’s attitude immediately turned cold and hard. She looked at Eugene


    indifferently as she replied, “Eugene, do I need to remind you again? There’s nothing between us now.


    My affairs are none of your concern.”

    She was about to move away from Eugene, but a food trolley rolled by at that moment. She tried to


    push it away, but Eugene did not let her go and even drew her closer. He held her steady in his arms


    making way for the trolley,


    At the same time, his low voice sounded in her ear, “I’m just letting, you know that Howard is also in


    Prime City. If you don’t want to get tangled up with him again, you’d better return to Jepton.”


    Mnie was taken aback for a moment, but her brows then knitted together.


    Once the trolley passed, she pushed Eugene away with a displeased expression. “I already know


    Howard is in Prime City, I don’t need you to remind me.”


    She nced in the direction Evelyn had just left with a mocking smile on her lips. In a faint voice, she


    added, “If you don’t leave soon, your fiancée is probably going toe over.”


    Evelyn was standing at a corner not far away, watching them.


    Eugene merely lifted his gaze to meet hers as he replied, “She’s not my fiancée.”


    “There’s no need for you to tell me if she is or isn’t,” Mnie replied. She did not care about any of this


    now. As long as Evelyn did not keep showing off in front of her, it did not matter if Evelyn and Eugene


    were to get married.


    Mnie said nothing more and just left. Suddenly, she heard an angry voice call out her name,”


    Mnie!”
