Eugene remained silent for a while and then heard Simon ask again, “We’re skiing in Nava for


    Christmas. Are youing? I remember LeapCo has a project in Nava, When do you n to go for


    inspection?


    there


    “Mr. Scott and William have been quite activetely. You’ve been holding back for so long for this final


    move, haven’t you? I heard you just snatched a big project from William. Aren’t you considering


    attacking again?”


    Eugene did not know Simon could be so chatty. Feeling annoyed, he hung up directly.


    A few dayster, Mnie received a friend request from an unfamiliar person on Facebook.


    Lately, matchmaking had been trending in the circle in Nava, with several men introducing themselves


    to her.


    Due to various considerations, she could not refuse and assumed this stranger was introduced by one


    of thosedies.


    She epted the request, but the person never sent a message. The profile picture was a gray


    silhouette of a default ount. The name was simply a single digit-“1“.


    Since the person did not initiate a conversation, Mnie did not bother either. She was busy with her


    affairs and soon forgot about it.


    Yvonne arrived in Nave on the 19th. She took early leave for Christmas,ing to help care for


    Meredith while waiting for Xander and the others to arrive for the Christmas celebration.


    Meredith was familiar with Yvonne and did not cry or fuss when held by her.


    Mnie touched Meredith’s face, feeling a bit reluctant. “I’ll be back in a few days.”


    Meredith just smiled.


    Upon reaching Oskon City, Mnie went directly to Matthew. Matthew’s methods were ruthless, and he


    had almost taken control of the entire Qaisa Group.


    “Not bad, even better than I expected.” Matthew praised, looking through the reports. “It seems you


    deserve my reward.”


    Mnie asked, “What reward?”


    “You’ll find outter,” Matthew said cryptically. He stood up, put on his coat, and handed her an


    invitation. “It’s a Christmas party. Remember to attend.”

    Mnie spent two days in Oskon City, and Matthew did not contact her again. With nothing else to do,


    she decided to take a stroll outside.


    As Christmas approached, the atmosphere on the streets was festive. She casually took a photo of a


    Christmas tree and posted it on her Facebook. Many people liked it, including the ount that went by


    the name 1.


    Mnie should have paid more attention. She soon received a message.


    1: [Are you in Oskon City?]


    Mnie frowned slightly, recalling that this person might be introduced by one of thedies. However,


    since they had not spoken, the abrupt message felt impolite. She chose not to respond.


    Matthew suggested sending someone to drive her to the party, but Mnie rejected it.


    She had told Yvonne about this two days ago, and Yvonne mentioned that her friend was also


    coincidentally attending the party, so Mnie could go with him.


    Compared to Matthew, Mnie naturally preferred going with Yvonne’s friend. She had assumed it was


    a woman, but to her surprise, it turned out to be a man. He was handsome and refined.


    Despite feeling awkward, Mnie had no choice but to ept the arrangement and get into the car.


    When they arrived at the venue, they realized it was raining outside. Mnie’s long dress was a bit


    inconvenient, so the considerate man got out of the car, opened an umbre, and politely offered her


    his hand. “Come on, I’ll hold the umbre so that you won’t get wet.”


    Mnie’s attire was indeed inconvenient. She thanked him softly and took his hand to get out of the


    car.


    Behind them, a ck Lincoln happened to drive by.
