Chapter <b>245 </b>
Mnie murmured, but it was hard to tell if she was speaking to her grandfather or trying to reassure herself.
The matter was still trending on the Inte. Some YouTubers were even making their videos about her videos. Many messages flooded into Mnie’s phone. There were questions,forting condolences, and indirect inquiries.
Mnie put her phone on silent and tossed it on the coffee table. Her mind had been a mess all night. Now she had to force herself to calm down and figure out what to do with everything.
However, the more she thought about it, the more confused her mind became. In the middle of the morning, the throbbing in her stomach reminded her that she could not remember thest time she had eaten.
She went to the kitchen and casually grabbed a piece of bread. She did not care that it was still cold from the fridge as she put it into her mouth.
However, no matter how much she tried, she could only eat half a piece. If she took another bite, she would probably throw it all back up.
Mnie was sitting by the balcony, trying to numb herself by reading a book, when Yana called.
Upon seeing Yana’s name, Mnie’s eyelids twitched before she picked up the call.
“Hey, Mnie.” There was concern in Yana’s tone. “Are you okay?”
Mnie’s voice was hoarse. She had not had a drink of water in a long time. “I’m fine.”
Yana listened to her audibly weak voice and paused before saying, “Then can youe to thepany in the afternoon? The people from the publicity team hired a PR team, and they want to get some details from you so that they can deal with this matter.”
Mnie’s brain slowed for half a beat before she understood what Yana was talking about.
After a moment of silence, she said, “I’lle over in the afternoon.”
It was inevitable that LeapCo would intervene. After all, the incident had happened in the office lobby.
What could she say? Dn had found a good ce to start her riot.
Before going to LeapCo, Mnie washed her face and put on some makeup. At least she would look a little less haggard.
The others were getting off work when she arrived. Mnie walked into the elevator against the flow of people, her high heels clicking.
She ignored the gazes of the people around her and went straight to the meeting room that Yana had mentioned.
However, when she opened the door, she found Eugene, Vi, Lee, Yana, and a fewpany executives she had seen before waiting for her inside.
Mnie’s face was expressionless. She went straight in and sat down next to Yana.
She did not look at Eugene or anyone else. She just sat down quietly and waited for them to speak.
“Mnie, this is Mr. Jenson, a publicist hired by the publicity department,” Vi spoke first and introduced an unfamiliar man in a low voice.
The man was wearing sses. His face was shrewd and calcting. His thinning hair was stered to his forehead as he studied Mnie with a look of mild contempt that made her ufortable.
Mnie lowered her gaze and said, “What information do you need from me?”
“What is the rtionship between you and your mother?” The man called Mr. Jenson’s tone was unfriendly and his words were sharp. “We’ve watched the video a few times. When your mother knelt to you, you didn’t move or try to stop her. This is also one of the reasons why the public attacked you.”
Mnie’s body went rigid. It took all her strength to keep herposure. “When she knelt to me, I didn’t stop her because I couldn’t react in time.”
“Mnie Smith! Please tell us the whole story. You’re not the only one implicated in this matter, LeapCo is involved too!” An executive she was familiar with suddenly mmed the table and jabbed an using finger at Mnie.
Mnie closed her eyes. “What whole story? I had no idea she’de to me yesterday.”
Mr. Jenson got to the point. “Why did your mothere to the office to look for you? She had to have a reason. Is there something going on?”
Mnie’s hands clenched on the table. “It’s just a family matter,” she said through clenched
teeth.
“But your family matters have already affected LeapCo,” Mr. Jenson emphasized without much emotion. “Ms. Smith, please cooperate with us.”
