Yvonne only stayed in Nava for a short time.


    Before leaving, she went to the mall to buy many things for Meredith, including clothes, milk form,


    toys, and diapers. She wanted to bring back everything from the mother and baby section.


    Mnie saw her off with Meredith. Yvonne held the baby and did not want to let go, looking like she


    wanted to bring the little friend to Jepton.


    As the year came to an end, Mnie was busy with many things. Matthew rarely contacted her, but she


    had to report her work to Matthew at the end of the year.


    Expanding territory in Nava was troublesome because most local industries already had deep–rooted


    connections, making it difficult for outsiders to intervene.


    However, Matthew had given her enough time.


    Xander and the others woulde to Nava around Christmas, staying until New Year’s. Mnie and


    Matthew had booked a flight on December 20th to Oskon City to discuss ns for the following year.


    During this time, she also attended a banquet where severaldies in Nava introduced her to some


    young men.


    She could not reject them and added the men’s contacts with a smile.


    Some contacted her, but after meeting for a meal and hearing about her situation, they stopped texting


    her.


    Mnie threw herself into her work, gradually forming a new social circle and enjoying her life.


    The banquet she was attending could have been more formal, and the attendees were diverse,


    including a few scions who had a strong social media influence. They recorded and posted videos of


    the celebration on video–sharing tforms.


    While Simon was at a bar celebrating a friend’s birthday, he received a message with several videos


    from someone.


    He was uninterested and about to ignore it, but one video caught his eye. He whistled lightly, appearing


    to be in a good mood.


    Eugene received the message from Simon just after finishing a meeting. He had been workingte


    recently.


    Simon had texted him: [Watch the video.]


    Eugene replied: [Not interested.]


    212


    Simon did not respond immediately, but when Eugene was done with work and lying in bed after


    showering, he saw the video Simon sent.


    The person on the video cover was unclear, but it was evident that someone had intentionally filmed a


    particr person.


    Mnie was wearing a long beige dress, and her waist–length hair had been cut into a short, slightly


    curly style. It made her look more vibrant and youthful.


    She seemed unchanged yet different at the same time.


    The videosted about ten seconds, with only the first few seconds focused on Mnie before jumping


    to other scenes.


    Eugene reyed the video several times and then called Simon.

    Simon answered quickly, his voice soundingzy. “What’s up?”


    Eugene stood by the window, shirtless and wearing gray boxers. “Who sent you the video?”


    “A friend of mine in Nava. We went on a road trip together.”


    Simon asked, “Done with your overtime?”


    Eugene grunted.


    It was winter, and the heater in the room was turned on, making it a bit stuffy.
