Chapter <b>241 </b>


    Dn did not notice the change in Mnie’s mood at all. She hugged her daughter and sobbed uncontrobly.


    The blood in Mnie’s body ran cold. She kept repeating Dn’s words in her head.


    Mnie had lost a lot of weight these days, and she looked haggard. If Dn squeezed her a little more tightly, she might just fall to pieces.


    More and more employees gathered around the office. Mnie looked up at them numbly. The surprise, pity, sympathy, contempt, and derision in their eyes all mixed together, as if they were judging her and skinning her alive.


    When she saw that pair of dark and cold eyes, Mnie was stunned. Eugene said coldly, “This is the office, not your house.”


    Mnie’s eyshes fluttered. She wanted to say something<b>, </b>but her throat felt like it was being strangled. She could not say a word.


    “This is the office, Ms. Lancaster,” Vi said sincerely. “I understand how you feel now, but please calm down. If you have anything to say, talk to Mnie nicely. After all, you’re her mother!” She seemed to be taking Mnie’s side, but her words inadvertently revealed her rtionship with Dn.


    Mnie closed her eyes. After a long time, she said hoarsely, “Dn Lancaster, are you ckmailing me now? Will youe here every day if I don’t agree?”


    “I…” Dn’s grip on Mnie stiffened, but she soon recovered. She stammered, “Mel, you’re still Peachie’s sister. Even if you don’t care about me, at least think about her. She’s so sick! What if something happens to her?”


    Dn looked at Mnie eagerly. “I just want to ask your grandfather for a favor. It’s nothing, really. Zaffino was his student, right? He just has to say the word, and George will be fine.


    “Really, Mel, I just want him to do me this one favor.”


    Mnie’s pent–up anger grew. Perhaps it was the looks from the people around her that embarrassed her. She did not know where she found the strength to force Dn’s hands off her body. Her voice trembled imperceptibly as she said, “I’ll take you back to Hearth City.”


    She took out her phone to call for a cab when Dn suddenly fell to her knees, wailing, “I know you’re doing well now! That’s why you think I’m useless and embarrassing, right? You also resent me for not taking good care <b>of </b>you back then, so you want me to leave!


    “But Mel, I can’t leave! Your sister is still sick. If George is injured now, I’ll be doomed! If you me me for letting you down, I’ll ha[pily beg for your forgiveness!”


    Dn was so fast that Mnie did not even have time to react. She could only watch helplessly as Dn knelt and put on her one–woman pity party.


    Yana had always been by Mnie’s side. She was also taken aback by Dn’s actions, but she reacted quickly and reached out to pull Dn back onto her feet.


    However, before she could touch Dn, Eugene said frostily, “Call the cops and get them to deal with it.”


    The employees who had gathered to watch themotion quickly dispersed when they heard the cold rage in Eugene’s voice.


    Vi looked at Mnie, then her gaze fell on Dn, who was kneeling on the ground. She sighed lightly. “Why do you have to do this, Eugene? This woman is Mnie’s mother, after all. Don’t get the cops involved.”


    Mnie came back to her senses. She looked at Dn, who was kneeling on the ground, and she clenched her hands into fists. The next second, she yanked Dn back to her feet, growling, “Get up. I said, get up!”


    “Does that mean you’ll help me? Mommy’s begging you.” Dn held Mnie’s hand so tightly that she stumbled.


    “I don’t want to see you at the office until you’ve taken care of your family business.” The cold voice behind her made Mnie flinch.


    She slowly let go of Dn’s hand and looked back at Eugene. Thetter’s face was cold, and his dark eyes were fathomless.


    Mnie looked at him for a long moment before she felt strong enough to speak. “Are you suspending me?” she asked.
