<b>Chapter 247 </b>
Mnie understood what Eugene meant. The choice was hers.
Still… What should she do? What could she do?
Mnie’s mind was foggy. She could not think at all.
Suddenly, her phone rang. I
As if she had found a chance to catch her breath, she immediately picked up her phone and stood up. She said in a low voice, “Sorry, I’m going out to take a call.”
It was not until she was out of the conference room that the oppressive atmosphere dissipated. Mnie picked up the phone without even seeing who it was.
Dr. Lawrence’s anxious voice immediately rang in her ear. “Ms. Smith, your grandfather went to look for your mother himself! After you spoke to him on the phone this morning, he said that he had to teach her a lesson, but we stopped him. However, he disappeared while we were having lunch!
“The security guard said that he didn’t see where your grandfather went. He must have slipped out during the shift change!”
Mnie almost lost her bnce. She raised her hand to the wall beside her to steady herself, fighting to keep her voice calm. “I’m going to Dn’s ce now. Please hurry over with the caregiver.”
She hung up and immediately headed out. It was not until she was downstairs that she remembered to call Yana and tell her that she had something urgent to attend <b>to</b>, so she could not return to the conference room.
After Yuna hung up, she carefully looked at Eugene. “Mr. Scott, Mnie said that she has something urgent to attend to, so she has to leave first.”
Eugene lifted his eyelids. “What was it?”
“I don’t know, but it sounded really urgent. She should be in the parking lot by now.”
Eugene’s fingers paused on the table. He stood up and said coldly<b>, </b>“Meeting adjourned.”
Vi looked at his back with a hint of resentment. <b>Then</b><b>, </b>her phone on the table rang. She looked at the caller and immediately hung up. After that<b>, </b>she pretended that nothing had happened and followed Eugene out of the room.
Mnie drove straight to the hotel where Dn was staying. She drove so fast that she almost ran the red light several times.
Dr. Lawrence had not <b>called </b>yet. She had told him <b>to </b><b>let </b>her know as soon as he found her grandfather.
Mnie slowed <b>the </b>car to a stop and got out.
This <b>hotel </b>was not a fancy one. A sloppy young man <b>stood </b><b>at </b>the front desk with a cigarette in his mouth.
Mnie was already dizzy<b>, </b>and the smell <b>of </b>cigarette smoke <b>made </b>her even more
ufortable, yet she had no choice but to approach him and ask, <b>“</b>I’m looking for Dn Lancaster. Which room is she staying in?”
The young man looked at herzily and was about to speak when Mnie heard the sound of something breaking on the second floor<b>, </b>followed by Dn’s familiar voice crying out in pain!
Mnie barely hesitated as she ran up the stairs. Just around the corner in the room<b>, </b>sure enough, she saw her grandfather leaning on his cane, panting as he watched Dn kneel on the floor.
The old man’s face was ashen. He pointed at Dn and yelled, “Is that how I raised you? You threw away your dignity for a man!
“It’s fine if you’re shameless, but you even got Mel involved in your mess too! Do you have any idea what people online are saying about her?! They called her a heartless and ungrateful daughter. They’re telling her to rot in hell!”
“Let me ask you, who is the one going to hell here? Her? Or you? What did she ever do to deserve you?! You useless bastard!”
By the end of his rant, Mnie’s grandfather was already choking up, mming his walking stick against the floor.
