Henry was on cloud nine upon seeing Mnie. “Mel, why are you here?”
Mnie was taken aback. “Why are you here?”
“Henry said he wants to get something for a friend and asked me to apany him,” said ra with a smile. “I wanted to give you a ride when I met you, but in the end, we met here. Looks like we are destined to meet each other today.”
Surprised, Henry told Ca, “Why haven’t you brought Mnie along since you met her?”
“I was rejected because I have something else to do,” said Mnie.
Henry did not mind and chuckled. “Since you are free now, can you have a meal with this old man?”
Vi, who had been ignored, looked at the three talking joyfully.
Henry and Ca did not even nce at her.
Her displeasure grew.
It was not that she had never tried to win the favor of the Scott family. However, no matter how hard she tried, she was nothing to them.
She could not understand why they would ept Mnie instead.
A malicious thought shed across her mind. She called out in her sharp voice, “Mnie.”
Mnie and Henry looked at her. She smiled wryly, and her face looked pale. “You asked me to get Mason to meet you, and I have done that. You promised me to get Eugene to meet me. Can you get it done as soon as possible? I have something important to tell him. Please help me.
“You don’t like him, after all. You just want to take your revenge on LeapCo. You can do anything you want, but don’t harm Eugene…’
He had always been good at putting on an act, and her aggrieved voice made it look natural.
Mnie lifted her eyebrow and looked at Vi calmly, waiting for her performance to end.
Vi looked at Henry ‘unintentionally’. A glimpse of a painful expression shed across her face, making her look vulnerable.
She bit her lips. “I know what I did was wrong. I regret doing it. I can do anything to atone for my mistake if Eugene is willing to forgive me.”
Mnie looked at Vi’s gaze and knew Vi had changed her target. She was trying to get what she wanted from Henry.
However…
Mnie was bewildered that Eugene had not forgiven her.

As Mnie pondered, ra spoke calmly, “If I had not mistaken, you worked in Rockwater as soon as you left LeapCo.”
Startled, Vi froze before speaking in a pitiful tone, “I was left with no choice. My parents depend
on me.”
ra smiled and said nothing more.
Henry’s face was gloomy, and he took Mnie by her hand. “Come on, Mnie. Let’s go and grab something to eat.”
Mnie was reluctant to have any more conversations with Vi. Moreover, she could sense Vi’s
malicious intention toward her.
It was better to be careful.
ra had booked a table in a restaurant nearby. It was a traditional Asian cuisine restaurant, Henry’s favorite. The dishes were ordered ording to Henry’s taste.
Henry loved eating fish, and there were many dishes on the table. He looked at Mnie approvingly, then at ra, as hemented, “It’s better spending the time with you two than those at home.”
ra chuckled. “You are saying this because we haven’t met for years. If you see us every day, I’m sure you will get tired of us, too.”
Henry shook his head and ced a bowl of fish stew before Mnie. “Taste this. I missed this when I was abroad.”
The stewed fish was soft and fragrant, looking scrumptious in the bowl.
However, the fishy smell gushed out when Mnie scooped it with her spoon.
