Chapter 469

    <b>Chapter </b><b>469 </b>


    Xavier thought Mnie <b>would </b><b>at </b>least <b>feel </b>a <b>bit </b>embarrassed, especially since he had


    mentioned her financial situation in front <b>of </b>other people. He did not <b>expect </b>her <b>to </b>return his provocation calmly.


    <b>“</b>What does my financial situation <b>have </b><b>to </b>do with you? I <b>don’t </b>owe <b>the </b>Solomons anything, do <b>I</b><b>?</b><b>” </b>


    Xavier paused, and as Mnie <b>stood </b>up and walked past Simon<b>, </b><b>she </b>could not help but stop. She added emotionlessly, “Simon, you dislike me <b>so </b>much<b>, </b>yet <b>you </b>always approach me when <b>you </b><b>see </b>me. Are <b>you </b><b>just </b>some kind of masochist?”


    Her mood had soured thanks to Simon and Xavier. Mnie decided to send a <b>message </b>to Yvonne<b>, </b>telling her she was leaving when she saw Yvonne pulling Hugh over with a displeased expression.


    <b>“</b><b>Mel</b>, let’s go. This ce is crawling with bad luck,” Yvonne said, her tone sour as well.


    Mnie was unaware of what happened but then Hugh added, “How is he bringing his fiancée <b>to </b>celebrate his sister’s birthday bad luck?”


    Yvonne scoffed. <b>“</b>Did he hit his head or something? Why did he bring his fiancée and invite me? Is he not afraid I’ll make a scene?”


    “He didn’t even invite you,” Hugh said casually.


    Yvonne’s anger suddenly dissipated as she muttered, “Right, he didn’t invite me at all.”


    She remained silent on the way back until they were almost at the vi<b>. </b>She suddenly said, Mel, do you know why I wanted you to apany me?”


    “Why?”


    <b>“</b>Because only you wouldn’t ask anything.<b>” </b>


    “It’s okay <b>if </b>you don’t want to talk about it,” Mnie replied softly.


    <b>Yvonne’s </b><b>voice </b>was even softer as she replied, “There’s actually not much to say. He never liked me. He likes someone called Talia Allen.<b>” </b>In the end, she fell silent and stared nkly out <b>of </b><b>the </b>window.


    Back at the vi, Xander and the others were still in the living room.


    Yvonne was not in a good mood<b>, </b><b>so </b>she exchanged a few words with Mnie <b>before </b>going upstairs <b>to </b>her room to rest.


    <b>“</b>What’s wrong with her?” Reny asked.


    Mnie shook her head<b>, </b><b>but </b>then she turned <b>to </b>Xander and said, “I ran into Xavier. He was with Simon.”


    She did not know the exact conflict between Xander and the Solomon family<b>, </b>but she felt that her encounter with Xavier was something Xander should know about.


    As expected, Xander’s brows furrowed slightly<b>. </b>“Try <b>not </b><b>to </b>spend <b>so </b>much time with him.


    “Okay<b>,</b>” Mnie replied without asking why<b>. </b>She did not have <b>a </b><b>good </b>impression of the man


    anyway<b>. </b>


    “Mnie,” Reny beckoned <b>to </b>her. “I have <b>good </b>news to tell <b>you</b><b>.</b><b>” </b>


    Mnie looked over. <b>“</b>What <b>good </b>news<b>?</b><b>” </b>


    “<b>There’s </b>a training opportunity in the Oskon City market. Boss thinks <b>you </b>should give it a try.”


    Mnie was taken aback. “What training opportunity<b>?</b><b>” </b>


    “It’s the annual summit. We <b>get </b>two spots each year. Since we’ve all been <b>to </b>it already, we think <b>you </b>should <b>go </b>this time. Many industry experts will be there. <b>You </b>can learn a lot.”


    Mnie did not show much excitement. Instead, a hint of heaviness appeared on her face<b>. </b>After hesitating for a moment, she said, “I might not be able to go. I have some matters in <b>Jepton </b>that haven’t been dealt with.”


    Xander looked at her. “No rush. The summit is in December. We can discuss itter.”


    Yvonne stayed at the vi that night and shared a room with Mnie. When Mnie went upstairs, Yvonne was still awake.


    She looked at Mnie with some sadness. “I hate women who y the violin, especially those named Talia Allen.”


    Mnie paused. “Can’t let go of Carlisle yet?”


    “Not really. It’s been several years.” Yvonne turned over and muttered, “I just feel a little disgusted. Whenever I see Carlisle standing next to Talia, I feel nauseous.”
