<b>Chapter 463 </b>
When Mnie <b>got </b>downstairs<b>, </b>Xander and Oliver were still waiting for her.
She approached them, and Xander asked, “Have you settled the matter?”
<b>“</b><b>Yes</b><b>.</b>” Mnie nodded. “Moreover, Eugene said we could refer <b>to </b>the guideline and carry out the project reasonably.”
Oliver lifted his eyebrow. “Oh, he gave in?”
<b>“</b>It’s not him giving in. But at the very least, this is a chance. After you do the proposal, <b>I’ll </b>hand it to him,” said Mnie.
Compared to letting others do the proposal, Oliver felt amending the project was better. His spirits were raised, and he asked Xander, “Let’s go to the supplier now?”
Xander nodded and looked at Mnie.
She said, “I’ll prepare the information needed back in the vi. After all, <b>I </b>can’t help much with the materials.”
Xander hesitated before asking, “Have your matters been settled?”
Mnie looked unhappy, and it seemed her matter was not settled.
Concerned, he said gently, “You can let me know if you need any help.”
Mnie closed her eyes and said, “I know.”
After Mnie left, only Vi was with Eugene in the office.
Vi looked at Eugene, feeling emotional. She felt Eugene and her were not like a couple.
Eugene did not seem to care about her anymore. He transferred her to the secretary’s office and employed a new intern.
To Vi, that meant Eugene had dumped her.
She called out his name, “Eugene…”
Eugene flipped through the report. “What’s the matter?”
“I…” Vi wanted to speak, but Eugene’s phone rang.
He looked at his phone coldly and nced at Vi before answering.
Vi was a little reluctant when she left the office.
It was almost ten at night when Eugene arrived at the Scott family’s ce.
Just as he entered, Cedric’s displeased voice sounded. “Why are you back sote?”
“I worked overtime,<b>” </b>answered Eugene calmly.
Cedric sneered. “<b>I </b>thought you were being stubborn and refusing to return.”
Eugene was <b>used </b>to Cedric’s behavior and sat <b>on </b><b>the </b>couch as he asked coldly<b>, </b><b>“</b>Why did you want me back here<b>?</b>”
Cedric was still stern as he sat opposite Eugene<b>. </b><b>“</b>Your mother and I have decided on your
engagement to Evelyn. <b>She’s </b><b>a </b>suitable woman <b>for </b><b>you</b><b>.</b><b>” </b>
Eugene’s hatred shed <b>across </b>his eyes but <b>soon </b>disappeared.
<b>He </b>said in his deep <b>voice, </b>“You’re <b>good </b><b>at </b>arranging. No wonder <b>you </b><b>could </b><b>coax </b>the Hel family <b>to </b>marry their daughter <b>to </b><b>you</b><b>.</b><b>” </b>
“Eugene! I am your <b>father</b><b>!</b>”
Eugene scoffed. “I’m not denying <b>that</b><b>.</b><b>” </b>
Cedric’s face was ashen. “Do you think you have the right to reject? Don’t forget <b>what </b>you’ve promised me<b>!</b>”
Eugene frowned and stood up to leave. Before he even took a step<b>, </b>Cedric said, <b>“</b><b>Your </b>grandfather’s flight to <b>Jepton </b>is tomorrow. Think about it.”
Eugene froze. His grandfather was the one who looked after him when he was a kid<b>, </b><b>but </bter <b>on</b><b>, </b>he had to recuperate on an ind abroad because of his health. It had been a long time <b>since </b>he returned.
After a moment of hesitation, he left.
His grandfather was almost in his <b>80s</b>, but he still looked healthy.
