Chapter <b>465 </b>
Mnie had not interacted with Eugene’s grandfather much<b>, </b>but she knew Eugene had grown up with him.
Whenever she visited Eugene’s grandfather with Eugene <b>in </b>the past<b>, </b><b>the </b>old man always <b>treated </b>her in a friendly manner. <b>He </b>thought <b>of </b>her as his granddaughter.
Mnie remembered when she visited Eugene’s grandfather <b>for </b>the <b>first </b>time<b>, </b><b>he </b>gave her a gift.
He even told Eugene to be nice to his girlfriend in <b>front </b>of her.
However, <b>it </b>was <b>because </b><b>of </b>this that Mnie was reluctant to visit Eugene’s grandfather.
She did not want <b>to </b>hear him feel sorry for their breakup.
Moreover<b>, </b>she did not want to pretend nothing had happened between her and Eugene in front <b>of </b>him.
However<b>, </b>before she could reject, Eugene said, “He’ll look for you if <b>you </b>don’t <b>go </b>and visit him.”
That was what Eugene’s grandfather would do.
Eugene inherited his persistence from his grandfather.
She hesitated for a second before nodding. <b>“</b>I’ll visit him.”
Nodding, Eugene said casually, “I’ll pick you up.”
Mnie said nothing.
Eugene was always decisive when he was around others.
However, Mnie knew he was soft–hearted in front <b>of </b>the people he trusted.
<b>For </b>example, his grandfather and ra.
The thought only shed across Mnie’s mind before she entered the site with Eugene.
Oliver was outside and saw them. As soon as he lifted his head, he asked, “Are you here to inspect the site again, Mr. Scott?”
His tone was unfriendly<b>. </b>Eugene only nced at him before entering straight.
Mnie followed Eugene, and Oliver said calmly, “Xander is inside.”
The site was piled with materials. Mnie wore <b>t </b>shoes but walked slowly because of the wires on the ground.
“Walk here.” A deep voice sounded, and Xander appeared from nowhere as he pointed and warned Mnie. <b>“</b>It’s dusty there, and your clothes might be dirty.”
Xander was in his work uniform which bore <b>some </b>paint stains<b>. </b><b>He </b><b>stood </b>far away<b>, </b>not approaching Mnie.
Mnie looked at him. Before she could speak, she heard a cold <b>voice </b>saying<b>, </b><b>“</b><b>Wow</b>, should I praise <b>you </b>for being such a gentleman, Mr. <b>Solomon</b><b>?</b><b>” </b>
Donned in his white shirt, Eugene looked like he did not belong here. He was ncing at Mnie and Xander coldly.
Xander pondered before saying expressionlessly, “She’s with me now. As her boss, I should be concerned about her.”
He said that expressionlessly, but his mockery was obvious.
<b>“</b>With you?” Eugene squinted his eyes and scoffed. “Mr. Solomon, I can tell that you’ve just returned from abroad from the way you phrase your words.”
“Mr. Scott, who are you to judge my way of speaking?”
The tense atmosphere between the two men attracted the workers‘ attention nearby.
With a frown, Mnie stood beside Xander and steered the conversation. “Mr. Scott is here to inspect the site.”
Mnie’s attitude was indifferent. She did not want to be the topic of argument between them.
In a serious tone, she said, “I’m unfamiliar with the materials and site. If you want to know more, you can ask around, Mr. Scott. I’ll excuse myself and help out outside.”
