Dn looked up in terror. “No<b>, </b>no, you can’t do that, you <b>can’t</b>,” she said, voice hoarse from constant crying in the past few days. She held Peachie <b>close </b>to her.
She pleaded some more, “Doing that will bring divine punishment down on us. Let’s think of another way, okay? I’ll go beg Mel. She won’t ignore us. I’ll plead with her.
“Please<b>, </b>George<b>, </b>don’t do that. I’ll kneel to you. Please don’t do that!” Dn released Peachie and got onto her knees before the man.
However, George just kicked her in the <b>face </b>and spat at her. “Divine punishment? If I don’t fucking repay the money<b>, </b><b>I’ll </b>be torn apart by horses!
“Your father is going to die anyway. <b>He </b>can at least contribute something before he does. You’re his daughter, and I’m his son–inw!”
Dn covered her face, tears streaming down her cheeks<b>. </b>She could not say anything and just shook her head continuously.
Seeing her like this, George got even more mad. He grabbed Dn’s hair, pulling her up by the head. ” <b>If </b>you gotta me someone, me your daughter. If it weren’t <b>for </b>her<b>, </b><b>I </b>wouldn’t be in this miserable state!”
Peachie sat on the bed numbly, quiet as a mouse.
Having vented enough, <b>George </b>grabbed his phone and walked out of the room. <b>He </b>kicked Dn onest time before he did <b>so</b><b>. </b>
Due to Vi intentionally dying the contract from being signed, Mnie had been making trip after trip to LeapCo these past few <b>days</b>.
Vi seemed determined to stall her and did not budge one bit.
The meeting ended, and Reny looked somewhat weary. “If we <b>can’t </b>get it signed by the end of <b>the </b>month<b>, </b>there won’t be enough time for <b>us </b><b>to </b>make <b>the </b>preparations.”
Mnie understood this, which is why she had beening to LeapCo almost every day. Design ns required time. Once they secured the investment, they would be able to begin customizing materials and choosing a suitable location. <b>These </b>were time<b>–</b>consuming tasks.
Mnie could only say, “Let’s think of <b>a </b>solution. LeapCo <b>is </b>also partnering up with Blue Inc. They won’t really refuse <b>to </b>sign the contract<b>. </b>Otherwise, they’d be giving Blue Inc a hard time too.”
“Let’s hope <b>so</b><b>.</b><b>” </b>
When they exited <b>the </b>elevator on the first floor, they ran into Eugene and Lee, who were getting in. Mnie had not seen Eugene in the <b>past </b>few days, <b>so </b>when <b>she </b><b>saw </b>him now<b>, </b>she paused for a bit before asking Reny to wait outside for her.
She lowered her gaze and approached Eugene, whispering, “Is George still harassing you?”
Eugene had just returned to thepany after discussing business and was still giving off an imposing aura. He looked at Mnie with dark eyes, a hint of impatience appearing on his face.” What do you think?”
George was like a stubborn adhesive that was difficult to peel away. Mnie was about to say something when the ringing of her phone interrupted her.
She answered the call, and the caregiver’s voice immediately came through, “Miss Smith, those two from the other day are at the hospital trying to discharge the patient. The doctors and nurses can’t stop them!”
<b>; </b>
Mnie’s pupils contracted. She quickly ended the call and was ready to rush to the hospital. Right before she took off, she turned to look at Eugene and said sternly, “Rest assured, I won’t let him off easy for much longer.”
Eugene watched her, a subtle crease forming on his forehead. Just as he was about to say something,
Mnie left.
