Cedric looked up. His eyes narrowed as he sized up Eugene.
Eugene’s fair skin looked unnaturally cold under the light of the crystalmp above his head. He looked
down at Cedric emotionlessly. “If you’re satisfied with that, stop those dirty tricks.”
Cedric’s gaze darkened, but Eugene had already turned around and left.
When he passed Ste, he nced down at her for a second before proceeding to leave without a
word.
Behind her, Cedric suddenly raised his voice in anger. “What’s with that attitude?!”
Steughed mockingly with her hand over her mouth. “I don’t know about his attitude, but what
happened to your famous pride? You actually threatened a woman who’s younger than your son. Aren’t
you ashamed of yourself?”
Cedric redirected his anger to Ste instead, snapping, “What do you know?”
“Oh, I don’t know anything, but I’m still better than you. You know why Eugene is behaving like this. He
learned it from you. Like father, like son!”
The house was filled with the sound of their bickering again. Outside, Eugene leaned against his car
silently. If not for the cigarette on his fingers, he would have melted into the night.
Eugene did not usually smoke much. The cigarette burned on his fingertips, and the smell of nicotine.
slowly rose to stain his eyebrows, hiding the coldness in his eyes.
In the end, Yvonne took Mnie to the hospital by Yvonne for a checkup after all. She also found out
about Mnie’s close shave with the abortion,theatre.
With a solemn expression, Yvonne asked Mnie a question that made her blood run cold. “Can you
be sure that your baby’s report wasn’t tampered with?”
Every hair on Mnie’s body stood on end. The tense wire inside her snapped, and she suddenly
realized something she had overlooked.
Over the past few days, she had been so focused on the medical report that she did not have time to
think about the details surrounding it at all. Thanks to Yvonne’s reminder, she finally began to have
her doubts.
She and Yvonne looked at each other. Neither of them said anything, but they both had their
suspicions.
After the checkup, Yvonne apanied Mnie to the previous hospital. They were looking for the
doctor from before, but it turned out that doctor was on leave.

Mnie called her twice, but there was no answer.
After that, Mnie had no choice but to go back to work.
2/2
The new year’s break was long over, yet Mnie had not made any progress on the Redwaves project
after she put it on hold. The officialunch was set for the beginning of next month, so Mnie once
again dived back into the thick of things.
Her thought process was simple. She had already caused the entire studio plenty of trouble because of
her personal matters. She could not waste any more of their time.
Ever since she had learned that Xander had made those lemon candies himself, Mnie had felt a little
strange about eating them again. In the end, she had been thest to discover the two extra bottles
that mysteriously showed up in the study and the living room.
Oliver asked Xander several times where he had bought the candy, but Xander never gave him a
straight answer.
Mnie could not resist asking him, “Why don’t you just tell Oliver you made them yourself?”
Xander sat by the window, his slender fingers running a pencil down the surface of a blueprint. The
tip of the pencil touched the paper, shading in a small section.
He looked up at Mnie. Under the warm glow of the evening sun, his eyes were gentle and calm. The
corners of his lips curled up slightly. “Why should I tell him? I didn’t make the candies for him.”
Mnie blinked. Before she could say anything, Xander got up and coughed softly. “I made them for
Merry.”
That afternoon, Yvonne came over to the vi. She looked a little pale, and she kept ncing at
Mnie.
No matter how dense Mnie was, she could sense that something was up. “Is there something you
want to tell me, Yvonne?”
