Mnie managed to present herself skillfully in front of the entrepreneurs. Although she did not achieve


    the desired effect, she also did not want to stay here any longer. Turning around, she went to the side.


    Nestled in a corner, Mnie saw Matthew enter with a woman. The woman’s figure was elegant,


    slender, and pale. Mnie immediately recognized her as Nicole,


    N?velDrama.Org is the owner.


    Matthew immediately made his way toward Eugene upon arriving. Nicole looked around and then


    walked over to where Mnie was sitting.


    Her voice was pleasant, even when she spoke in a low tone. “Hello, can I sit here?”


    She did not seem particrly enthusiastic and started to daydream as soon as she sat down.


    They did not have much to talk to each other about, so they kept to themselves. Mnie took out her


    phone and saw that i had sent her a message again eight minutes ago.


    1: [Are you in a rtionship?]


    Mnie found it difficult to paint a picture of this person. What business was it of his whether she was


    in a rtionship or not? The questioning tone from thisplete stranger repelled her.


    To put it in Yvonne’s words, he was being nosy. She thought again about how he had been introduced


    to her by someone, so she could not just block and delete him. There were social etiquettes to


    consider. Thus, she simply deleted the conversation log–out of sight, out of mind.


    Mnie had originally nned to sit here and wait until the banquet ended before leaving, but she did


    not expect something unexpected to happen.


    As Nicole sat absent–mindedly next to her, two women approached them. They both looked quite


    young.


    They started mocking Nicole the moment they came over, implying that she was not really from the


    Qaisa family. Instead, she was just a fake rich woman whom Matthew kept, which supposedly made


    her qualified to attend such upscale events.


    The women’s words were quite harsh, but Nicole did not react at all.


    Mnie frowned but did not do anything. It was not until one of the women poured juice on Nicole’s


    face that Mnie stood up and intervened, “What are you doing?!”


    She handed Nicole a tissue. “Wipe it off. I’ll apany you to the restroom.” Nicole did not take it, and


    Mnie noticed tears silently streaming down her face along with the juice. For a moment, she did not


    know what to do.


    Themotion quickly attracted the attention of others, and Matthew arrived swiftly. He stared at


    Nicole’s face with eyes resembling Mnie’s own. They were full of hostility. “Which one of you did it?”


    he asked the two women.

    Mnie felt a sudden unease, but before she could speak, she felt a cold presence next to her and a


    hand around her wrist. Eugene led her out of the crowd, telling her coldly, “Matthew is losing control.


    Don’t interfere.‘


    ”


    Before Mnie could say anything, she heard a nervous voice ask, “Mnie, are you okay?” Philip had


    alsoe over. “I heard themotion and came over. Are you having trouble?” He looked


    concerned.


    Without thinking, Mnie walked toward him and answered, “I’m fine.”


    Philip said, “That’s good. It’s about time. I’ll take you back to the hotel.”


    Mnie nodded and followed him away while Eugene stood behind. It did not feel like he had grabbed


    Mnie’s hand just now but rather a handful of air.
