Chapter 495

    Chapter <b>495 </b>


    George’s expression was sinister<b>. </b>When <b>he </b>looked at Mnie, he gave her <b>a </b><b>cold </b>smile,


    revealing his yellowish <b>teeth</b>. <b>“</b><b>Drop </b>the charges against me, and <b>I’ll </b>give <b>you </b>the evidence. It’s not the <b>first </b>time that <b>little </b><b>bitch </b>has egged your stupid mother on<b>.</b><b>” </b>


    <b>George </b>deliberately lowered his <b>voice </b><b>to </b>create <b>a </b><b>sense </b>of urgency<b>. </b><b>“</b>So, how about it?”


    Mnie looked at him calmly and silently.


    It <b>was </b>inevitable that George was aware <b>of </b>Dn’s actions.


    However<b>, </b><b>there </b>was a <b>reason </b>Mnie had not approached him first. She knew <b>that </b><b>George </b>was crafty and might not tell the truth.


    <b>George </b>was not afraid of Mnie’s gaze. He remained calm and said, “Anyway<b>, </b><b>the </b>evidence is with me. It’s up to <b>you </b>whether you agree to my terms or not.”


    Mnie’s expression never changed even as they left the detention center.


    Stephen asked, “What do you think about George’s proposal?”


    “I won’t take it,” Mnie said firmly.


    <b>George </b>was the one behind her grandfather’s death. Mnie would not let George off just to <b>get </b>evidence against Vi… especially since George’s words were not credible to begin with.


    Stephen nodded and cast the thought from his mind. He then took Mnie to the parking lot and chatted with her intermittently. “Mr. Henry is back. I heard that the Scotts are celebrating his birthday next week.”


    He asked Mnie, “Will you be there?”


    Everyone in upper <b>society </b>more or less knew each other. Moreover, Stephen’s family got along with the Scotts to begin with, and they never lost touch with each other.


    That was why Stephen knew that Henry Scott had always favored Mnie.


    Mnie said, “He told me about it<b>, </b><b>so </b><b>I’ll </b>be there.”


    “I also heard that Xander offered you a learning opportunity, but you refused?” Stephen asked again.


    Mnie nced back at the door of the detention center. <b>“</b>There are some things I have to take care of before <b>I </b>can rest <b>easy</b><b>.</b><b>” </b>


    “If it’s Dn and George<b>, </b><b>I </b>can help you keep an eye on them.” Stephen pondered for a moment and tried to convince Mnie, <b>“</b>Since you want <b>to </b>continue in this line of work<b>, </b><b>you </b>can’t waste any time. <b>Mel</b><b>, </b><b>you </b>have to put yourself first.”


    It <b>was </b>not <b>that </b>Mnie did not understand what Stephen was saying. She just could not get over <b>her </b>grandfather’s <b>death </b><b>so </b>easily<b>, </b>so she <b>had </b><b>to </b>take care <b>of </b>Dn and Vi first. Mnie <b>got </b>out of the <b>car </b>near a business <b>district </b>and went to find Henry’s birthday present. Henry had invited her to his birthday bash, so she could not <b>go </b>empty–handed.


    She had just paid for the gift at the counter when <b>a </b>text message shed on her screen.


    It was from Yana. [Mnie<b>, </b>Vi and Mr. <b>Scott </b>are arguing. It looks serious. Many people are saying <b>that </b>it’s because of <b>you</b><b>.</b>]


    Mnie frowned and replied<b>, </b><b>[</b>What does it have to do with me?<b>] </b>


    [Didn’t youe <b>to </b>thepany to deliver a document to Mr. Scott that day? Thepany has been buzzing with rumors these past few days, saying that you and Mr. Scott have gotten back together. Vi’s been green in the gills ever since.]


    [It wasn’t so bad at first. She would just re at Mr. Scott wistfully during the meetings. I don’t know why<b>, </b>but they started arguing in the office today.]


    Yana quickly spammed a few messages. Mnie looked at the gossip and read the curiosity between the messages. After a moment, she put her phone away.


    She did not care why Vi and Eugene were quarreling.


    At the same time…
