    Mnie, LeapCo is having a team–building dinner tonight at Jepton Hotel,” Yana said.


    nie lowered her gaze. “You guys have a good time. I won’t be going.”


    But Mnie, this is organized by thepany, and it seems like the chairman and others will there.” Yana’s implication was clear. Mnie used to host Cedric Scott every time he came, they hoped she woulde as well this time.


    >wever, Mnie responded, “Mr. Scott told me not to go to thepany until I’ve sorted it my family matters. Also, I’ve already resigned.”


    ith the conversation reaching this point, Yana naturally did not press further and hung up e phone. Just as she hung up, a message popped up on her phone.


    ilie asked me to call you just now. She was beside me.]


    nie did not reply to the message. She just closed the door and left.


    e went to Mrs. Zawn’s to order a takeaway portion of stew, intending to bring it back for ny and the others. While waiting for the stew, Mnie took out her phone and checked her end circle. She came across a photo posted by her grandfather’s attending doctor.


    oking at the picture, she paused for a moment before calling the doctor.


    le call was answered promptly.


    nie’s voice was a bit shaky as she asked, “Dr. Wells, is the neurologist in the photo you


    sted Dr. Hel?”


    >h, I almost forgot to tell you. Dr. Hel has a tight schedule tomorrow morning and might not ay at the hospital for long. But he should be free now. I can ask him for you,” Dr. Wells said.


    f he has time, you can go look for him at Jepton Hotel.”


    le doctor’s words left Mnie a bit dazed.


    e had met Dr. Hel before at Ste’s birthday banquet several years ago. He was Ste’s other and Eugene’s uncle. She knew vaguely back then that he was a doctor, but she did not pect him to be a renowned neurologist.


    nie felt a dull ache in her chest. She felt as if her throat had been shed with a knife, tting off her breathing.


    rrying the packed fish stew, Mnie sat in the car for a while before stepping on the gas. le was supposed to turn left toward the vi but instead, she turned right toward Jepton otel.


    :. Wells mentioned that Dr. Hel’s time was tight. He only had some free time this afternoon.


    nie knew she could not dy her grandfather’s illness.


    iter arriving at Jepton Hotel, she went directly to the room number Dr. Wells had given her. iter knocking on the door for a long time, however, there was no answer.


    nie could only call Dr. Wells, and after circling for a few minutes, she found out that oward Hel was downstairs. He was having dinner with his family.


    <b>Who </b>else was his family here apart from the Scotts?


    After thanking Dr. Wells, Mnie stepped into the elevator with a nk expression. She pressed the button to go down to the third–floor lobby.


    The dinner event had already started. Mnie stood at the entrance for a while, trying to spot Howard’s figure.


    “Mnie?” An uncertain voice reached her ears. Mnie turned around and saw Vi dressed in a crisp white professional outfit, looking verypetent.


    Vi blinked at Mnie and smiled. “I thought you wouldn’te. It’s a bit of a pity since today is also a celebration for LeapCo.”


    Mnie nced at her. “I’m looking for someone.


    “Who are you looking for? Someone from the secretary’s office?” Vi asked.


    “But Mnie, you should actually be the star of the show today. The banquet today is, all, a celebration of the coboration between LeapCo and Blue Inc,” Vi said somewhat regretfully.
