The matter of Meredith could not be concealed. Even if Eugene kept it to himself, others who knew
about it would talk. It was only a matter of time before it reached Cedric’s ears.
Eugene pondered for a moment with his eyes lowered, and Lee reminded him, “Mr. Scott, Mr. Hel will
be here in a while.”
The internal strife within LeapCo had gradually heated up, and it was evident that the Hel family was
siding with Eugene.
Lee had heard discussions among employees privately, saying they had only seen fights between
brothers. This was their first time witnessing such intense conflict between father and son.
The situation with Eugene was truly moreplex than sibling rivalry.
Few people knew about William’s status as Cedric’s illegitimate child. For a father to scheme against
his legitimate son was even more heart–wrenching.
Moreover, Lee had seen that if it had not been for Eugene’s connections over the years, he would have
been defeated by Cedric long ago. After all, both Cedric and William were ruthless and showed no
mercy.
It seemed like Cedric and Eugene were enemies rather than father and son.
In the evening, Mnie received a message from 2, whom she had not received messages from for a
long time. It contained only two words. [Be careful.]
Mnie nced at it and promptly deleted the message without replying.
Meredith had been very curious about everythingtely. Yesterday afternoon, she was delighted to see
children flying kites outside. Hence, Mnie and Xander took her out to fly kites early in the morning.
There was argewn near the vi area. Xander bought a kite shaped like a little carp. Mnie
walked beside Meredith with the stroller.
Yvonne came, dressed in sportswear. “Darling, I’m good at flying kites. I promise to make the little carp
fly high.”
Meredith did not understand but cheered. She smiled at Yvonne, who was utterly charmed.
It was the end of spring, and many people were flying kites. Meredith sat in the stroller, pping her
hands as she watched Yvonne’s little carp fly farther away.
Xander walked over. “Aren’t you going to y?”
Mnie shook her head. “Meredith is here.”
Xander asked, “Do I look like I’ll kidnap her? You’re supposed to spend time rxing today.”

Since meeting Ovdhic yesterday, Mnie had been feeling down.
They both knew how much of an impact Cedric had on her.
Mnie had not slept well all night. Her mind was filled with all sorts of chaotic thoughts. She knew she
could not keep allowing herself to be this tense. Otherwise, even before Cedric had made a move, she
would have scared herself.

However, Koing kites was a physical activity. After ying with Yvonne for a while, her arms and neck
felt sore
Yoone said, “I can’t go on anymore. Wait here. I’ll get the camera and take a photo. The kite finally flew
so high
Mnie was alone, holding the kite string. The wind was good today, making the kite fly high, but she
had to ensure it did not veer off course.
A warm hand covered the back of her hand, and Xander calmly took the kite string from her. “I’ll do
Mnie looked up slightly, and Xander looked at the kite in the sky. Even from this angle, he still looked
good.
Wonme stood behind the camera and secretly took a photo. She could not help but marvel at how good
-looking they were.
Then, she pushed Meredith over and smiled. “You two stay still. I’ll take a photo of you three. Say
cheese!”
Theughter and chatter there was witnessed by the man in the Maybach outside.
Eugene looked expressionlessly at the figures on thewn. They wereughing and joking, just like a
family
Mnie and Xander were very close, with Xander carrying Meredith in his arms. The little girl was not
shy, booking her arms around his neck with a happy expression.? 2024 N?v/el/Dram/a.Org.
