Chapter 269 I Don’t Belong Here
Even though the present was slightly old-fashioned, Mnie was undeniably attracted by the money
Sure enough, he’s rich and handsome! If this man belongs to me, I swear I won’t be looking at any other
men in the future. Landon treats me well, but he is really stingy. When she was deep in her thoughts, she
saw Kate walking out of the parlor from the corner of her eyes. A sudden thought flitted across her mind.
Aha! I was just worried that my frustration had nowhere to be released! Then, she told Landon gently,
“Landon, I’m going to the washroom.” Landon was deep in conversations with Cam and the rest, so he
merely replied, “Go ahead.” A cold smile appeared on Mnie’s lips as she walked out of the parlor.
Cam took a sip of the tea in front of her, also revealing a vindictive smile. A leopard never changes its
spot. She’s bound to reveal her true self some time. She raised her head and looked at George. Then,
the both of them exchanged smiles. On the other hand, Landon was still speaking enthusiastically, “Do
you still remember when Tiger just arrived? He hid himself when he saw us giving injections. The
patients were calm, but he himself burst into tears. Is he much better now?”
George replied, “Yeah, he’s just afraid of needles. After that, I asked him to be the receptionist instead.”

Landon smiled. “Good idea. Tiger is smart, and he’s good with money. Is he in his twenties now? When I
was there, he was only around 15.” George replied, “You are only three years older than him, yet you
make it sound like he’s much younger than you.”
Cam chuckled. “However, at that time, Landon didn’t look like he was just three years older than him.
He was very tall; Tiger was probably intimidated by him.” When they were still chatting away, Landon’s
phone suddenly rang. After seeing the caller ID, he picked it up perplexedly. “What’s wrong, Mel?”
Mnie choked. “Landon, please carry on. l-‘ll leave first.” Landon frowned. “Why? Come stay with us for
a while longer. We’ll leave together.” “N-No. You guys carry on. I’ll go back in a taxi.” Her voice sounded
sad on the phone. Landon’s face darkened as he frowned. “Where are you?”
“I’m at the hotel lobby,” Mnie answered. “But you don’t have toe here. I’m fine. l-I’m just not
feeling too well, so I would like to go home first. You don’t have to worry about me.”
The more she said, the more Landon felt that something was wrong. He got up: immediately to open the
door of the parlor. Immediately, he saw Mnie standing at the lobby, fully drenched. Water dripped from
her clothes, and her cheeks looked swollen. When she saw her, her eyes turned red immediately.
Landon strode over to her. “Mel, what happened to you? Who did this?” Mnie merely looked at him
aggrievedly. Even though she said nothing, the reluctance was clearly shown in her eyes, sending a
clear message-she had been bullied.
Worried, Landon quickly asked the waiter for a towel and wiped the water from her face. Then, he took
his jacket off and put it on her.
“What happened? Tell me!”
Mnie looked at Cam, South, and George in the parlor fearfully. “Katie said that this was a private
gathering between a few of you, and I wasn’t included at all. She med you for ordering the dish for
me, and she said that I shouldn’t be here. She even said that I was f*cking disgusting when I cried. I tried
to reason with her, but she pped me right after. Then, she poured a bucket of water on me in the
washroom.”
Landon’s face immediately darkened. If she had given him other reasons, he might not have believed
her. But he definitely believed that Kate would say such words. On top of that, she was not afraid of
showing her viciousness in front of him. It’s not enough for her to throw tantrums at me, is it? Now, she
even started attacking Mnie!
