Chapter <b>503 </b>
Before Vi could exin herself<b>, </b>Henry’s angry shout came. <b>“</b>Eugene, do you really want me to get <b>the </b>security guards to chase her out?”
Eugene froze and hid his cold gaze.
Then, he said indifferently, “I’ll get someone to drive you back.”
He left before Vi could say more.
Eugene grew up under Henry’s care, and the elder he respected the most was Henry. However, Vi actually said something disrespectful like that.
It seemed she did not think Henry was important to Eugene.
Vi only realized what she had blurted after Eugene left, and she was in despair.
She did not mean that.
Her anxiousness had taken over her rationality just now.
However, before she could exin herself, Ste and Cedric walked out.
Ste called out calmly, “Security! Get those who aren’t invited to leave.”
The family photo would be taken in another hall with a huge divider.
Mnie went to answer a call from a client and felt the atmosphere was tense when she
returned.
Eugene was sitting on the couch expressionlessly. Henry’s seat was in a higher ce in the middle.
Cedric and Ste said nothing, but they did not look happy either. Ste even sneered upon seeing Mnie walk in.

Mnie froze. Suddenly, Henry knocked his walking cane on the floor and looked at Eugene sternly.
“Eugene, you’d better settle it quickly. Otherwise, don’t me me for not showing you mercy. I might be old, but it doesn’t mean I can’t scold you anymore.”
“What’s the point of settling it? Our reputation is already ruined.” Ste sat as she continued mocking, “Those kids brought up by poor people are always like this. Each and every one of them wants to marry into a wealthy family. Don’t they know their ce?”
“You should zip that mouth of yours shut. Do you fear others will think you’re dumb if you don’t say a word?” Henry red at Ste, which was enough to startle her and make her stop talking.
She nced at Mnie. Obviously, she was mocking Mnie just now.
Mnie had just walked in. She pondered before approaching and reminding Henry gently, Grandpa Henry, you won’t look nice if you’re angry in the photo.”
Henry looked at Mnie withplicated emotions. Then, he sighed and said, “Alright, I’ll listen to you.”

The Scott family and Mnie were taking a family photo. <b>No </b>one <b>noticed </b>Vi, who should have already been chased out<b>, </b>peeping <b>at </b>them resentfully from <b>the </b><b>corridor</b>.
She watched as Henry instructed Eugene to stand beside Mnie. They looked just like a happy family.
Her hands clenched into fists. Gritting her teeth<b>, </b>she turned around and left.
The photo was taken faster than expected<b>, </b>and Mnie wanted to excuse herself.
Henry was reluctant to let her leave and wanted to ask her to stay.
Mnie could only reject. “I have an online meeting today. I’ll visit you again.”
Henry did not insist and waved his hand. Then<b>, </b>he looked at Eugene, warning him<b>, </b>“It’s alreadyte. Drive Mel back home. It’s not safe for her to leave alone.”
Mnie said, “It’s okay. I came with Stephen.”
“Stephen’s house is not in the same direction as yours.” Henry frowned as he continued, ” Moreover, he drank just now.”
Stephen had toasted Henry, and Mnie knew about it.
<b>On </b>the other hand, Eugene did not have any alcoholic drinks.
As usual, Eugene respected Henry’s orders. He looked at Mnie and said indifferently, “I’ll drive you
back. Grandpa will be worried if I don’t.”
Mnie hesitated, but seeing Henry was about to persuade her again, she nodded.
Eugene did not drink, but everyone who attended had. That was why he still had the pungent smell of alcohol on him.
When Mnie got into the car, she rolled down the window and closed her eyes as she rested her head on the backrest.
The pungent smell assailing her nostrils made her frown.
