    “What are you doing here?” Eugene’s deep voice sounded, causing Mnie to pause slightly before raising her eyes toward the voice.


    Sure enough, she saw Eugene standing not far away. His gaze fell on Mnie, and his tone was calm as he asked, “Who allowed you toe?”


    Mnie’s gaze trembled slightly. “I came to look for Dr. Hel.”


    “This is a LeapCo gathering. Mnie, you’ve already resigned.” Eugene’s ck eyes were like an unfathomable abyss, revealing no emotions.


    “Mnie should be here. Today is the celebration of thepany’s coboration with Blue Inc. Mnie worked hard for it,” Vi said softly as if trying to speak up for Mnie.


    However, before she could maintain the gentle expression on her face, she heard Ste sneer. ” That’s quite reasonable of you.”


    Ste’s words wereced with sarcasm, and Vi hesitated for a moment before instinctively looking at Mnie. Faced with Ste’s ruthless sarcasm, she naturally hoped to see a simr reaction from Mnie.


    However, Mnie’s expression remained unchanged and calm. “Mr. Scott, the resignation procedures haven’t been processed yet, so I’m still an employee of LeapCo.”


    Eugene scoffed. “Mnie, you stop at nothing to achieve your goals.”


    “I’m just stating facts.”


    When Mnie spoke, her posture was upright, but only she knew how much self–contempt she felt when uttering such words. She thought about how she resembled a shameless


    scoundrel.


    Cedric arrived then. When he saw a group of people gathered at the entrance, he frowned and sternly rebuked, “What are you all doing here?”


    “A shameless troublemaker is trying to stick their nose around here again,” Ste replied.


    After saying this, she picked up her feet and immediately went into the banquet hall with Howard following closely behind.


    Cedric’s gaze lingered on Mnie for a moment before he turned to Eugene. His tone was neither pleased nor angry. “Handle whatever matters you have quickly.”


    “Mr. Scott, why not let Mnie in? It won’t look good for her to stay outside like this,” Vi spoke up again. She dared to since Ste had left.


    She looked at Mnie and whispered her suggestion, framing it as if Mnie hade to beg for something. She punctuated that suggestion with a nce at Mnie.


    “Mnie, there are a lot of people here today. What you did previously had a significant impact. Mr. Scott is also considering your reputation.”


    Mnie did not know where Vi was pulling all these words from. She looked at Howard’s retreating figure and realized that it would be difficult to discuss her grandfather’s situation with him now.


    Moreover, she was afraid that she might have made him ufortable. After thinking about it, Mnie decided toe to the hotel a bit earlier tomorrow and wait for Howard.


    With her decision made, she was about to take her leave. However, just as she took the first step, she heard Eugene’s cool and indifferent voice again. “When did you get together with Xander?”


    Mnie paused before turning to look at Eugene. “I’m not in the mood to talk about this with you right now.”


    Due to Howard’s situation, she could not help but feel anxious. She also thought Eugene might be trying to humiliate her again, so she responded very directly.


    To Eugene, however, her answer was an admission. His eyes narrowed slightly as he scrutinized Mnie for a moment. Then, he sneered coldly and casually asked, “Mnie, what can Xander give you that’s making you stick to him? Is it money?”
