Xander did not want to listen to Liana’s nonsense. He silently put down the things they bought and


    turned to Mnie, ready to leave.


    However, Mnie’s phone rang suddenly. She nodded at Xander and turned to answer the call.


    The call was from Stephen. “Mel, the charges have been filed based on the other piece of evidence you


    submitted earlier.”


    Mnie’s eyes hardened. “What’s the situation now?”


    “Quentin has been called in for questioning. After that, it’s up to the investigators. Maybe Quentin himself can put Vi on the stand.”


    “Once that happens, you just have to submit the evidence you have, and it’ll be much smoother sailing from then on.”


    Stephen’s words finally lightened Mnie’s mood.


    After finding out that Vi’s evidence was wed and that Eugene was helping her from the


    shadows, Mnie had met up with Carlton a few more times.


    Carlton had reminded her that Vi was not the only one involved in the whole thing. Quentin was


    just as guilty.


    Vi had Eugene’s protection, but Quentin might not.


    Mnie had asked Stephen to help her retrieve the surveince footage from the hotel corridor before pressing charges against Quentin.


    If they pressed Quentin hard enough, they might get him to spill everything.


    Unbeknownst to Mnie, Liana stopped smiling as soon as she left the room. Liana asked her brother solemnly, “Tell me the truth. Mel used to date that Scott jerk, didn’t she?”


    Xander’s expression froze, and Liana smirked. “Did you think I wouldn’t know if you didn’t tell me? I advise you toe clean with me, Xander.”


    A mixture of emotions shed across Xander’s face, and his eyebrows twitched. In the end, he


    admitted it. “Yes, but that was in the past.’


    Liana stared at him for a long time before she suddenly clicked her tongue. “Xander, listen to me. I’ve met Eugene Scott before. He’s an unromantic asshole.


    “If you can’t even beat him, I’ll be ashamed to call you my brother.”


    Xander looked at Liana nkly.


    Liana rolled her eyes at him. “I guess you’re pretty much the same. You’re just as dense.”


    When Mnie returned to the ward, the atmosphere in the room was strange.


    When Liana saw her, she stered on her smile again, saying happily, “Mel, I’ll take you for a race once I get better, okay?”


    Almost every time he left Liana’s room, Xander would feel a little down in the dumps. He looked at Mnie, and Liana’s words shed through his mind. “Do you like racing?”


    Mnie blinked, confused. “I’ve never tried.”


    Xander pursed his lips. “Me neither.”


    Mnie was still in a daze when she followed Xander to the racing arena. Xander took her around with an air of familiarity without saying anything.


    Mnie looked at him, not bothering to hide the doubt in her eyes. “Are you familiar with this ce?”


    Xander’s tone was casual. “Liana and I used to hang out here together.”


    When he said this, he raised his eyebrows and smiled. His face immediately looked brighter and more youthful.


    Mnie smiled back and was about to speak when a wave of nausea hit her.


    She frowned and subconsciously raised her hand to cover her mouth. The next second, she gagged.
