<b>Chapter </b>477
Vi’s eyes widened as she looked at <b>Henry</b><b>, </b>“Mr. Henry<b>, </b>what are you talking about?”
Henry’s <b>voice </b>was low. “State your <b>conditions</b>. As long as they’re reasonable, <b>I’ll </b>agree. Eugene <b>is </b>young and enjoys ying around, which <b>is </b>normal. But the Scott family will not just watch if he goes <b>too </b><b>far</b>.”
Vi’s head spun. She could not understand what Henry was saying. Gaze lowered, she hemmed and hawed for a while before saying, “But I truly love Eugene.”
<b>“</b>You truly love him?” The old man sneered<b>, </b>tossing the tea directly into the trash can. His tone was indifferent as he questioned, “What can your ‘true love‘ bring to the Scotts?”
Vi was shocked by Henry’s actions and was unable to speak. Her lips trembled as tears welled up in her eyes.
Henry looked at her with a frown as he said harshly, “Miss Shaw, though I have no idea of the means you used to make Eugene break up with Mnie, I regret to inform you that in my eyes, you don’t meet the standards to be Eugene’s wife.
“If you’re smart enough, make your demands now and leave Eugene.”
Vi waspletely shaken by Henry’s words. She was staring at him nkly as if unable to speak. It was not until the caregiver helped the old man up with a cane and left that Vi regained someposure.
She looked at the cup in the trash can, feeling extremely embarrassed. One million? How ridiculous. Even the things Eugene casually gave to Mnie were worth a million. Why should she ept one million to leave Eugene?
Vi could not help but recall Henry’s gentle demeanor toward Mnie. His gaze had been tranquil.
Mnie had no idea what transpired at LeapCo.
She had been busy coordinating various business matters the past few days and would asionally apany Xander and others to the site. The on–site setup was almost in its final stages.
<b>It </b>was evening when she received a call from Eugene’s grandfather. Henry had a coughing fit before he finally asked weakly, “Mel, do you have time tomorrow?” It was Friday the next day, and Mnie did not have much to <b>do</b>.
“What’s the matter?” she asked.
“I haven’t been feeling well since <b>I </b>came back. Eugene and the others are busy, so I have <b>to </b>shamelessly ask you if you have the time to apany me to the hospital,” the man replied.
His coughing had been real, and after thinking for a moment, Mnie said, “I’lle pick you up tomorrow.”
Henry had indeed <b>not </b><b>been </b>feeling well. He was losing his appetite these days and had trouble sleeping at night. Not only that, his blood pressure had increased.
When Mnie arrived, the caregiver had already packed everything. She <b>took </b>Henry directly to Jepton Hospital.
<b>This </b>was <b>a </b>private <b>hospital </b>and <b>had </b>fewer <b>patrons</b>. Henry had previously undergone medical <b>examinations </b>here.
<b>Due </b><b>to </b><b>her </b>experience in taking care <b>of </b>her grandfather, Mnie was familiar with the hospital procedures<b>. </b>She handled the various formalities and then led Henry to carry out the
examination.
When they were done with thest examination, Henry sighed and said, “Mel, you’re really meticulous.<b>” </b>
“If you feel unwell at all, just let me know,” Mnie said.
Henry waved his hand.
Holding a pile of documents in her hand, Mnie was about to check the time when she
caught sight of someone–Mason. Displeasure crossed her features when she noticed she had been encountering the man more frequentlytely.
She did not like his methods and did not wish to interact with him much, so she moved Henry somewhere else.
