The grievance in Vi’s eyes turned into resentment. Mnie’s name was the one name she could not even stand to hear! If it were not for her, Eugene would not be treating her so ruthlessly.


    Yes!


    Suddenly, Vi’s head snapped upward as she recalled the night when her affair with Mason was discovered. She had seen Mnie when she was rushing back to thepany. Moreover, Mnie had mentioned her affair with Mason at the hospital.


    As if discovering a revtion, Vi’s eyes grew noticeably colder. It must be Mnie. It had to be. She must have reported her to Eugene out of jealousy for her rtionship with him. There was no other exnation.


    Why else would Mnie be in Eugene’s office that day? Vi was almost certain of her suspicion.


    In Vi’s mind, Mnie became the scapegoat for all her miseries. If not for Mnie, everything would have been fine. Resentment surged in her chest. She was not going to let Mnie off easily.


    Although Eugene was hers, Mnie still meddled in their rtionship. Vi stood still, her body trembling slightly as she was consumed by intense feelings of anger and hatred.


    Unexpectedly, her train of thought was interrupted by the ringing of her phone. ncing at the disy that showed ‘Mom’, Vi answered the call with a numb expression.


    Her mother’s reprimanding voice immediately filled the air. “How are you and Eugene? Have you apologized to him yet? You listen here, a son-inw like Eugene is a rare find. If you don’t hold onto him, you’ll regret it!


    “Your Aunt Trisha ising over this weekend with your uncle and your younger cousin. Make sure you bring Eugene for dinner. Do you hear me?”


    Vi took a deep breath. “I’m still at work.” After saying that, she hung up the phone and bit her lip until it became discolored. She quickly made another call.


    ‘Mnie, you’ll have to pay back double for everything you owe me!’ she thought to herself.


    Back at the vi, Mnie frowned when she heard what was said. “Red Leaf Studio wants to meet tonight? Weren’t we scheduled for Wednesday? Why did they suddenly reschedule?”


    “They said their boss has to go abroad for a study trip, so they have to pull the meeting forward,” Oliver replied, holding his phone with a hint of helplessness. The boss of Red Leaf Studio had coborated with Burning Star before, so the meeting was agreed upon promptly. Mnie nodded. “No problem. I’ll go, then.”


    “Don’t worry, Mr. Whitman is a nice person. Just follow the regr procedures.”


    Oliver spoke in a carefree tone and then picked up his things, preparing to leave. “The boss


    and the others are still waiting for me. I’ll head over first.” Since he hade back just to grab something, he left in a hurry.


    As for Mnie, she went back to the study and gathered some information about Red Leaf Studio. When it was time to leave based on the agreed-upon time, Xander and the others had not returned yet.


    Bruce Whitman of Red Leaf Studio, as described by Oliver, seemed just as amiable and honest in real life. However, what made Mnie ufortable was that, in addition to him, there were two or three people from otherpanies present-including Mason.


    Bruce apologized with a slightly embarrassed expression. “My overseas course is starting  ?early, and I’m in a hurry to go abroad, so I had to bring everyone here together. I do apologize


    for this.” His attitude toward this was so good that Mnie naturally could not say anything.


    During a banquet, pleasantries were natural. Bruce was good at leading the atmosphere and made sure to include everyone. Moreover, he could skillfully adjust the mood of the room.


    As the banquet was about to end, Mnie suddenly felt a gaze fixed on her. She frowned slightly, feeling somewhat displeased.
