Chapter <b>389 </b>
<b>“</b>1.5 million?” No one could tell from Eugene’s tone what he was thinking, but the look of disgust was clear in his eyes.
He was a proud man, and he looked arrogantly at George for a moment before nodding slowly.” Alright, I’ll give you the money.”
Mnie jerked her head up and saw Eugene’s head lowering slightly. His long eyshes blocked the look in his eyes, and she could not tell what <b>was </b>going through his mind.
George’s eyes lit up with delight. He did not care that there <b>were </b>two big and tall security guards holding him down. <b>He </b>kept reaching his neck out to Eugene. “Are you telling the truth? Are you really giving me 1.5 million?”
When Eugene looked up, there was a frosty look in his eyes. He stared at George’s happy face with a cold look. “Either get out or I’ll call the police<b>.</b><b>” </b>
George had gotten what he wanted, and the ferocious look on his face disappeared. He began to put on a friendly demeanor as he said with <b>a </b>creepy smile<b>, </b>“Remember to transfer the money <b>to </b>me.”
He looked at Mnie and said, <b>“</b>You’re finally useful for <b>once</b><b>. </b>Serve Mr. Scott <b>well</b>!<b>” </b>
Hisst words sounded terrible, and Mnie looked extremely upset. However, she was in no
condition to continue dealing with a dirtbag like George. She looked at Eugene<b>. </b>She was still thinking
about the 1.5 million.
This fiasco had gone out for ten minutes<b>, </b>and everyone slowly left <b>after </b>George had vanished.
Yana looked at Mnie sadly. “<b>Are </b><b>you </b>alright, Mnie<b>?</b>”
Mnie’s face was pale, and she looked quite broken. She shook her head and said, “I’m fine.”
Yana wanted to say more, but she jumped when she met Eugene’s dark <b>eyes</b>. She knew what she had to do. She whispered to Mnie, “<b>I </b><b>need </b>to clock in to work, Mnie. I’ll be heading upstairs first.”
After that, she left.
Before Yana left, she added in a whisper, <b>“</b>Just call me if you need anything.”
Now that all themotion from this morning had ceased, Mnie had time to <b>feel </b>exhausted.
However, she was still feeling fear from what just happened. That was when she heard Eugene’s distant voice. “Aren’t you going to exin yourself<b>?</b>”
“I…” Mnie wanted to say something, but she stopped because she realized she had no idea what to
say<b>. </b>
Eugene snorted. “First<b>, </b>it was your mother. Now, it’s your stepfather. Do you think LeapCo is your
ATM?
“It doesn’t matter if it’s loan sharks or who you owe debts <b>to</b>. If you need money, all they need to do is
use you as a bank card to get money here?“.
Heughed sardonically. His voice was cold and deep as he continued, “I can’t keep allowing you to cross the line, Mnie.”
George and Dn had been to LeapCo twice, and it had affected thepany negatively. Even though Mnie knew that they had nothing to do with her<b>, </b><b>they </b>were her family in the eyes of others.
Mnie lowered her eyes. <b>Her </b>throat tightened<b>, </b><b>but </b>she took a deep breath and said to Eugene, “You shouldn’t have promised him that 1.5 million.”
“I shouldn’t have?” Eugene looked at Mnie. Aplicated look shed in his eyes. “Even if you’re willing to be harassed by loan sharks, LeapCo can’t afford <b>to </b>be implicated in such a situation. People like that would only cling to you. They’re nothing but bad luck.”
He was right. People like George would never listen <b>to </b>reason. They were <b>shameless </b><b>to </b>a fault.
Mnie was silent. She had no idea how to describe how she was <b>feeling</b>. She felt lost and bitter. The only thing left for her to get through with this was her dignity.
After a while, she heard herself say<b>, </b><b>“</b>I’ll find a way to return that <b>1.5 </b>million to you.”
“As you wish,” Eugene said nonchntly.
Mnie pressed her lips together. Her face and muscles were numb. She <b>had </b><b>no </b>idea what she looked
like now. Mnie’s mind was nk, but there <b>was </b>one thing she still remembered.
