Cedric also noticed Mnie. His brows knitted together slightly when he did, adding a touch of


    displeasure to his already serious expression. Mnie met his gaze momentarily before turning, and


    walking away.


    Dinner was scheduled to be held in the lobby. Just as Mnie was about to head over, the tended a


    call from Candy.


    When she approached the lobby, she found herself face–to–face with a group of people texting them


    was Ste. She was holding hands with Evelyn and chatting. They were followed by Cedric Eugene.


    The moment Ste saw Mnie, her smile vanished, reced with displeasure. Her tone also shifted


    from gentle to mocking. “Some people just never give up, always looking for opportunities to stick


    around like a piece of gum. Quite a clingy one, aren’t you?”


    Although Evelyn remained silent beside Ste, the triumph in her eyes was enough to disy her


    victorious stance.


    Mnie nced at the two of them and calmly replied, “If you have so much free time, Madam Hel,


    perhaps the two Mr. Scotts can arrange for you to join LeapCo’s sales department.


    “Given your talent for finding trouble and stirring up conflicts, the sales department will surely wee


    you.” Mnie’s sarcastic tone was something she had recently learned from Yvonne


    N?velDrama.Org is the owner.


    Ste was instantly embarrassed and angered. Mnie nced at her and walked straight into the


    lobby. She could feel several gazes on her without even turning back


    Ste watched Mnie’s retreating figure with increasing disdain on her face. She stared at Mnie for


    a while before turning to Evelyn. “Evelyn, look at that. That’s someone with no proper upbringing


    at all!”


    Evelyn was about tofort her when a shadow loomed over them. Engene stric stopping three steps

    His words choked Ste, whose expression stiffened. Evelyn’s expression did not look good either. She


    red at Eugene’s back sharply and could not help but nce in the direction Mnie had just left.


    Quickly masking her emotions, Evelyn bit her lip and sighed slightly. “Looks like Eugene does care a lot


    about Mnie. I’m starting to suspect if Mnie’s child is actually his.”


    Her remark was abrupt, and Ste’s eyelids twitched.


    Evelyn smiled again. “I was just saying. Mr. Cedric, Madam Ste, please don’t take it seriously. I just


    think Eugene cares a lot about Mnie.”


    Cedric’s eyes narrowed as he looked at Evelyn, his expression thoughtful


    The meal prepared by the inn consisted of a lot of meat. Mnie had just finished eating when a phere


    of candy was handed to her. Xander’s voice was gentle and maic as he said, “If you feel full, have


    a piece of candy.”


    Mnie had gotten used to the candies that Xander would asionally give her, so she simply took it


    Seeing this, Oliver, who was sitting opposite her, reached out to Xander, “Wro, give me one too. I want


    one.”


    Xander nced at him, his expression unchanging as he replied calmly, “There aren’t any left”


    Oliver instinctively retorted, “Don’t you have plenty? I even saw an entire jar of it in your suttene


    yesterday.”


    Xander calmly replied again, “They’re all gone.”


    Their main purpose ining to Crane Mountain was to take a soak in the hot springs, which Mnie


    could not do. It would not be fun for her to remain at the inn alone, especially when Reny kept urging


    her to help them take photos.


    The hot springs were nestled within a bamboo forest. The pathways leading to the pools were made of


    various stones. Many squirrels scampered about.
