Chapter <b>236 </b>


    Mnie could hardly take a breather<b>, </b>and her mind was buzzing. “What are you doing here?”


    <b>“</b>I’ve been waiting outside because I want to see your grandfather. Only your grandfather can help me now! Be good, Mel. Tell your grandfather to help George!<b>” </b>


    Dn hade to Jepton because of George, but Albert refused to see her. She was forced to wait around nearby.


    When she walked out of the bathroom near the <b>car </b>park, she spotted Mnie walking over.


    Dn initially thought it was someone who looked like Mnie but realized it was really her and came running over.


    She wanted to cry again when she saw Mnie. The wound <b>on </b>her face had not healed. It did not make her look pitiful, but rather, quite horrid.


    “Mnie, what’s your mother doing in Jepton? Did something happen?” Vi’s concerned voice sounded, and Dn realized there was someone else with Mnie.


    She was initially taken aback, but she squinted and saw Vi and Eugene. She began to realize that this was Mel’s boss and colleague she had met at Hearth City previously.


    That woman had told her before that Mel’s contract stated that she would be paid a handsome sum if she left thepany.


    Mnie had no idea what was going through Dn’s mind, but she was not willing to humor her mother. She attempted to pull Dn away with her. “Where are you staying? I’ll take you


    back.”


    Unfortunately, Vi began to speak from behind them, “Mnie, it looks like your mother has something urgent to say. <b>You </b>should tell us if you need any help.”


    It was because of Vi’s words that Dn suddenly pulled away from Mnie and turned to look at Vi. There was an expectant look on Dn’s face. “Can you really help me?”


    Vi was startled by this. She <b>was </b>just being polite, but Dn seemed to take her seriously.


    However, she nodded reluctantly. “You should tell us what you need help with.”


    Dn looked like she suddenly had an epiphany. She looked at Eugene in a daze. “That’s right, You’re Mel’s boss. You must be very rich. Can you please loan me 500,000? I… I promise to return the money to you!<b>” </b>


    “Dn Lancaster!” Blood drained from Mnie’s face when she heard what Dn said. She dragged Dn away while quivering. “Can you leave me with some dignity?!”


    Mnie could hardly breathe. She had never expected there woulde a day when Dn would beg money from Eugene that way.


    <b>She </b>looked like a beggar harassing him.


    Mnie was quite forceful. She dragged Dn to her car and pushed Dn inside roughly. She mmed the door.


    Dn was startled and seemed to be shocked by Mnie. She shrank in her <b>seat </b>and said.


    nothing while wiping the tears off her face.


    They did not say anything to each other during the drive. Mnie left after taking Dn back to the dpidated motel.


    Mnie could not talk to anyone as she was afraid she would break down.


    It was only after she got home that Mnie slowly shrank. She felt weak all over and slid down the floor with her back against the door. She hugged her head with her hands, looking like a helpless child who had nowhere to go.


    That night was a terrible one for Mnie.


    She did not sleep and sat with her back against the door in a daze the entire night.


    The next day, she stood up numbly and changed before going to the office.


    The moment she stepped inside, she bumped into two colleagues. They were startled by her and greeted her in a low voice.


    Mnie was exhausted mentally and physically. She did not notice their reactions and walked away. She also did not notice the strange and curious looks she got from them.
