ra looked at Mnie’s indifferent expression. She would be lying if she said she was not surprised.
Even ra could see Eugene liked Mnie the first time he took her to meet her.
It was the first time Eugene took a woman home, and he was protective of her.
Ste and Cedric were not a loving couple, so ra had watched Eugene grow up.
ra remembered he was a carefree boy who cared about nothing. He did not dislike or like anything. All she was worried about was Eugene bing a skeptic or an emotionless person when he grew up.
Everything changed when he asked her if he could bring a friend to meet her.
It shocked ra. After all, she had never heard Eugene ask her anything like that.
She had not even thought the friend would be a woman. All she expected was his ssmate, some male friend.
In some aspects, Eugene and ra were more like mother and son. He even discussed it with her before deciding to take over LeapCo.
ra had a deep impression of Mnie because of Ste.
Ste disliked women of ordinary family backgrounds because of Cedric. She was always mean to Mnie, but Eugene would always stop her.
The mother and son often quarreled, and things became nasty.
ra was a witness to everything and knew Eugene wanted to protect Mnie.
However, she had not heard about things in Jepton after moving to the coast with her husband. She would asionally hear Eugene mention Mnie on the phone.
Only when she returned this time did she know Mnie and Eugene had ended up in their current situation from her conversation with Ste.
“Madam Franklin.” Mnie’s voice snapped ra out of her thoughts. ra hid her expression well.
Mnie asked her formally, “Do you have any other requests? We’ll try to fulfill it as long as it’s reasonable and beneficial for both parties.”
Since ra’s attention was diverted to work<b>, </b>she stopped thinking about Eugene’s matter.
Although ra was Eugene’s godmother, she came with sincerity. The two had a happy business talk.
When the meeting <b>ended</b><b>, </b>ra extended an offer to Mnie, “Do you want to have dinner together?”
Mnie rejected it without thinking twice, <b>“</b>Please excuse me for rejecting. I have something onter.<b>” </b>
ra took it as an excuse, but Mnie’s phone happened to ring. She nodded at ra before
excusing herself.
It was a call from Stephen. Mnie was still investigating Dn’s matter and had asked Stephen to help her.
When she answered the call, Stephen said, “There’s some surveince footage if you want to see it. However, I’ve asked a friend of mine who’s awyer. It’ll be hard to point out the suspect if it’s just the surveince footage.
“We need to have a chat record or recorded conversation to sue the suspect.”
Recording the conversation was impossible. The witnesses were only Dn and Peachie,
Dn was still saying Vi did this for her and Mnie. Meanwhile, Peachie was a kid, and her words could not be used as evidence.
Mnie looked at the dark sky with a sigh.
Stephen asked her, “Mel, do you want to proceed?”
ording to the situation, they could only get evidence of Vi contacting Dn and Peachie. It was pointless.
Mnie stood at the roadside. The road was busy, and the neon lights lit the streets. It would be pointless to investigate it.
However, she was reluctant to give up.
After a while, Mnie looked at her fingers and said, “Sometimes, evidence isn’t about justice. It’s about karma.”
