Just as she took a step, Howard came over from the side.
Anger was evident on his face, and seeing Mnie only made him even more displeased. Heunched
into a barrage of questions without even waiting for her response, “What are you doing here? Did you
secretly follow me? And what did you just say to Peyton?”
He did not ask for any rification and just unleashed his frustration. His expression was fierce and
urgent, as if Mnie had stepped on his tail.
She listened until Howard finally stopped to catch his breath. She responded indifferently, “So, you’re
afraid of what I might have told Peyton, huh?”
Mnie went straight to the point as she observed Howard’s nervousness. The anxiety in his tone was
suspicious.
Her eyes shone as she pondered. She then asked, “Are you afraid I’ll tell her about Bianca or that you
have another wife in Oskon City?”
The fact that Howard had a wife in Oskon City was not known to many. She only knew about it herself
when Matthew told her thest time they met.
Sure enough, as soon as she mentioned Howard’s wife in Oskon City, Howard’s expression
immediately changed. His features twisted with embarrassment and anger. He raised his hand as if to
strike Mnie. “Say that again!”
Mnie could not help but find Howard’s fit of rage extremely ridiculous. It was enough to prove how
foolish she had been to have ever given him the benefit of the doubt.
How good could a man who would abandon his wife and child for the sake of ying around with other
women be?
Whether it was Dn back then or his current wife or Peyton, it was their misfortune to encounter
Howard!

As Mnie anticipated the p from Howard, she was surprised to see a hand with distinct knuckles
blocking it from the side.
Eugene had followed them without anyone noticing and positioned himself in front of Mnie. He
raised his hand to stop Howard from pping Mnie. His tone was heavy as he said, “Mr. Smith,
when will you ever break your habit of resorting to violence?”
Howard was taken aback by Eugene’s presence and instinctively asked, “Didn’t you just go inside?”
Ignoring him, Eugene turned to Mnie and asked, “Are you okay?”
Mnie gave Eugene aplicated look before turning her gaze to Howard.
She was truly fed up with his constant harassment. Despite herpleteck of interest in him, he
2/2
always found a way to bother her. It was as if he was looking for trouble himself.
Yet, exining things to someone like Howard was futile. His mind seemed to be tuned to apletely
different wavelength.
Feeling disheartened, Mnie could only turn away and leave.
Fortunately, Xander’s meeting had just ended, and he called her.
Mnie waited for the group at the door so that they could go back together.
Xander and the others came out quickly, and they looked normal. Mnie did not bother asking if they
had seen Eugene and Howard.
“You looked quite impressive when you walked away from me just now,” Evelyn remarked sarcastically
as she stood in the inner corridor and watched Eugene return. “Do you even remember why we’re here
today?”
Eugene’s expression had be much colderpared to before. He asked Evelyn in a soft voice,
You’re thinking of that again?”
Evelyn’s face stiffened momentarily. She then casually smiled and replied, “Eugene, your level of
concern for Mnie makes me wonder if the child in her belly is yours.”
Still smiling lightly, she gently reminded him, “I don’t think Mr. and Mrs. Scott will ept that, right?”
Eugene’s steps paused slightly. Evelyn’s craftiness was written all over her face.
He nced at her with an abyss of coldness in his dark eyes. “You’re thinking too much.”
Evelyn raised a brow. She was about to give a satisfied smile when she heard Eugene add, “Also, we
only have a working rtionship between us. I really dislike unrted people meddling in my personal
affairs.”
