Eugene was invisible to Mnie the entire morning.


    While everyone was talking about the coffee Eugene bought everyone<b>, </b>Mnie got busy going through some documents.


    Even the usually inattentive Yvette noticed something was wrong. “What’s going. on between you and Mr. Scott? Why do I have the feeling that you’re ignoring each other but he’s trying to ma


    amends?”


    Mnie did not look up. She did not want to answer Yvette’s question.


    Yvette did not mind. She sat down next to Mnie and looked around before saying, “Did you notice that something’s missing today?<i>” </i>


    Mnie looked up and Yvette continued, “It’s Vi Shaw. Didn’t you notice that we’re not hearing her fakeughter?”


    Yvette rubbed her arm. “It feels like something is missing now that she isn’t around.”


    Mnie realized Yvette was right. Vi did not show up today.


    However, it made sense because they had already gotten concrete evidence from the footagest night. She was probably still giving her statement to the police.


    That afternoon, Mnie received an unexpected call from Stephen. The first thing he told her was, “Quentin Emerson has admitted that Vi was the one who coerced him to drug you. But he made no mention of Mason Gray.”


    Mnie paused in her footsteps. “Why is he suddenly admitting to this?”


    “He showed signs of admitting <b>it </b>previously, but for some reason, he kept. refusing to confirm anything.”


    Stephen had been helping her to follow up on this back in Jepton. Mnie replied, “It’s enough that he’s willing to oust Vi.”


    Vi hadmitted too many crimes. If they were to list everything she did, there was no way Vi could escape.


    Stephen did not ask anything further. He told her about thetest news on Dn, “There’s been some changes with Dn Lancaster’s situation as well. I showed her those videos from the café, but….


    “She heard from others locked up with her that George Chapman has another <b>son </b>out there. This news seems to have broken her, and she’s mentally unstable right


    now…”

    Mnie felt nothing as she listened to him.


    Dn ended up this way because of the choices she made. It had nothing to do with anyone else.


    However, it was still a good thing that Quentin had named Vi in this.


    Mnie packed up even faster. Yvette looked at her and asked, “Who was that on the call? You look really happy.”


    “It was a friend,” Mnie replied. “I was just given some good news.”


    There was suddenly a shadow over her. Eugene was standing in front of Mnie and looking at her thoughtfully. “Come with meter.”


    Mnie stopped whatever she was doing. “I’ve said before that it’s not a good idea for me to be associated with you before everything has been settled, Mr. Scott.”


    She spoke clearly and determinedly when she repeated those words.


    Eugene frowned as he looked at Mnie. He held back his temper and said, ” We’ve gotten results from the car crash incident.”


    The car crash.


    Mnie looked up at Eugene. The wound on his forehead had healed. Only a pinkish scar was left on it.


    Lee happened to look over as well. He looked at Eugene andter toward Mnie as he exined, “That car crash had something to do with Vi too. Mr. Scott feels that it’s best that you shoulde along because you’re a victim as well.”


    Before he could finish, he noticed the sharp nce Eugene gave him. Lee continued seriously, “You shoulde along because you’re involved in the crash.”
