“Eugene felt as if those words had crushed his heart. In his deep, dark eyes, emotions surged. His
Adam’s apple bobbed.
He was initially on his way to apany meeting when he received news that Ste was at the
hospital. He rushed over almost immediately, visibly exhausted from several days of continuous work.
Mnie did not look at him. Her gaze shifted toward the window. Although her face showed no
expression, her resistance was evident.
Ste’s arrival brought an unpleasant atmosphere. Yvonne, unlike Mnie, gritted her teeth and red
at Eugene, driving him out.
Xander and Stephen cooperated with the police interrogation.
Mnie stayed in the hospital for two more days before getting discharged. On the day of her
discharge, the weather was beautiful. Yvonne brought her a red coat, saying, “Wear this to ward off bad
luck.”
Mnie had not basked in the sun for a long time. As she walked out of the hospital building, she felt
the air was incredibly fresh.
During her admission, her skin had remained sickly pale, but the red coat added a touch of color to her
thin and pale face.
Xander went to the parking lot to get the car, asking her to wait there.
Mnie shook her head. “I’ll wait for you outside. I’ve been lying in the hospital for a long time. Walking
a little is fine.”
Yvonne apanied her outside. There was a locust tree at the hospital entrance. Its branches were
dry.
A Maybach was parked not far from the tree.
Eugene stood in front of the car, looking in their direction. His deep–set eyes looked profound. He
walked over.
Just as he took two steps, Xander’s car happened to pull out, blocking his line of sight.
Mnie looked up and heard Xander’s voice. “Get in the car.
N?velDrama.Org is the owner.
Mnie withdrew her gaze. During her hospital stay, Xander visited her almost every day. However, he
also had to manage his studio, making him exceptionally busy.
Yvonne helped put Mnie’s luggage in the car, saying, “Alright, you’re finally discharged. Let’s go
back. May everything go smoothly from now on.”
The car drove away, and Yvonne suddenly sighed as she looked out the window. “Why is he here?”
2/2
Eugene’s slender figure was clearly visible in the rearview mirror, but his expression couldn’t be
discerned.
Mnie did not hear what Yvonne said. She lowered her head and looked at her phone.
The investigation into Cedric’s matter was troublesome for the police. People with power and influence
were fearless.
However, Mnie did not relent. It was just that Stephen and Yvonne could not help much anymore.
They were all part of the same circle with some connection to the Scott family. They could not offend
the Scott family.
Yvonne felt guilty, but Mnie said, “It’s alright. The evidence is still being collected, isn’t it?”
Although Mnie did not have a powerful family background like Yvonne and others, she had been in
the circle for a few years and had some connections.
Otherwise, Ste would not have asked for a private settlement.
A few days after being discharged, Mnie heard Xander talking about the proposal with Oliver
through the phone. She proposed to go and handle it herself.
The ne ticket was scheduled for three dayster. Mnie nned to take a day off to return to the
old house in the North district. She decided to rent out the house. She was going to Oskon City and
would not be back for some time.
The rental advertisement was posted yesterday afternoon, and the agency notified her that someone
woulde to view the house this morning.
The potential tenants were a young couple working as teachers at a nearby tutoring center. After a brief
chat, they signed the contracts, and it was already dark by then.
Mnie tidied up the house for a while before preparing to leave. When she stepped out into the dim
light of the streemps, a car parked in front blocked her way.
