Mnie felt a slight pain on her lips and tongue, and sheter tasted blood. Theer of her lips was bitten hard.


    Eugene’s grip rxed, and Mnie turned slightly away <b>from </b><b>him</b><b>. </b>


    Her sudden movement caused her pajamas to fall loosely around her, revealing her corbone and exposing a huge patch of her fair skin.


    Eugene lowered his eyes to look at her. A sarcastic smile appeared <b>on </b><b>his </b>lips, and his tone became nonchnt once more. He sniggered. “What’s wrong? Angry that I didn’t acknowledge you as my girlfriend?”


    Before Mnie could reply, he let her go. Eugene returned to sit on the sofa and asked her with a t expression, “When have I ever said that you were my girlfriend?


    “You overestimate yourself, Mnie <b>Smith</b>.” Eugene’sst sentence was a reminder to Mnie. He was telling her that she had been full of herself before, which was <b>why </b>she was paying the price now.


    A robotic ring was heard, and Eugene looked down at his phone before picking it up.


    Mnie was standing not far away from him. She could vaguely hear Vi’s coquettish voice from the other end of the call.


    Eugene’s eyes were lowered as he replied to each question Vi was asking.


    Mnie watched this<b>. </b>Eugene was replying to Vi in a gentle manner. It waspletely different from when he was speaking coldly to her just moments before.


    Realization finally dawned on Mnie.


    It did not matter if it was Vi Shaw or Evelyn Shue, Eugene had always been gentle and considerate to them.


    Mnie was the only one who did not receive such treatment.


    She stood stunned where she was. It was only when Eugene called ‘Mnie‘ in a deep voice that she finally looked at him.


    Eugene was looking at her too, and he frowned slightly. He was still on the phone. “She isn’t here. I have no idea.”


    Mnie realized that he was still chatting on the phone with Vi.


    She did not want to disturb Eugene, so she went to the other side of the room and opened the door to the balcony.


    There was a huge disparity in temperature at Prime City. Mnie felt cold the moment she stepped onto the balcony.


    She suddenly received a call from the director of the nursing home.


    Mnie was taken aback. She picked up the call and heard the director saying seriously to her, “Please make a trip to the nursing home tomorrow if you have the time, Miss Smith.”


    This scared Mnie She frowned. “Did something happen to my grandfather?”


    Chapter 86.


    “There’s something wrong with Mr. Lancaster recently. ording to the nurse’s aide, he has been frequenting the bank.”


    The director continued, “We suspect that Mr. Lancaster might be getting conned. When would you be free toe over and have a look at the situation, Miss Smith?”


    Mnie hung up. She stayed on the balcony as her mind drifted off. It took a while before she remembered she had to call her grandfather. However, she did not make the call because her grandfather must have already gone to bed at this hour.


    She gave this some thought and decided to call Dn Lancaster.


    Mnie rarely contacted Dn of her own ord. She was always the one who had reached out to Mnie back then.


    Dn had waited for Mnie on the road that she usually took to go to the office. Dn would prepare different varieties of breakfast every morning for Mnie back then.


    That was also when Dn had told Mnie that she regretted abandoning her.


    Mnie had believed that Dn still loved her.


    The call was soon picked up, but it was not Dn. A man’s rough and coarse voice was heard through the phone.


    He roared into the phone crudely, “Who are you looking for?”


    Mnie found this very strange. She asked, “Where’s Dn Lancaster?”


    “Why are you looking for that bitch?” The man sounded even more rude when he heard Dn’s name.


    Next, she heard the man knock into something before he began cursing.


    “That bitch gave birth to a useless daughter and she still has the gall to ask me for money!”
