Mnie had no choice but to go since Lee had put it that way. Moreover, this had something to do with Vi too.


    She nodded in agreement. “Alright. I’ll be there.”


    Lee was relieved. “We can head over togetherter.”


    “Just give me the location.” Mnie paused before adding, “Hugh is waiting for me outside. I’ll go over with him<b>.</b>”


    The temperature in the air seemed to drop two degrees the moment she said this. Lee had no idea what to say and nced at Eugene.


    Mnie looked at Eugene and said nonchntly, “I don’t really want to say this, Mr. Scott, but I feel that it’s best to remind you that it isn’t nice to be a third wheel.”


    Eugene stood where he was as Mnie and Yvette walked away.


    Yvette finally realized something did not feel right. Mnie did not hide it from her and told Yvette about what happened with Vi.


    She did not hide the fact that Eugene had been protecting Vi either.


    Yvette was bbergasted by everything she heard. It took her a while before she managed to say, “What she did was horrible. How could Eugene Scott still appear in front of you and act like nothing had happened?


    “No wonder you keep ignoring him. I’d do the exact same thing if it were me.” She patted Mnie’s arm with a somber look on her face. “I think you’re totally qualified to turn your story into a soap opera.”


    Yvette kept criticizing Eugene and Vi while walking out with Mnie. Hugh was already waiting outside.


    He was getting better at pretending to be Mnie’s boyfriend, except that his expression remained glum.


    This time, Hugh brought a cup of fruit juice for Yvette as well. Even though he got it from a normal store, it still cheered Yvette up. She winked at Mnie.


    “A younger man is still the best.”


    Mnie turned to say to Hugh, “I’ll have to trouble you to apany me to the police station today.”


    When they arrived at the police station, they saw a Bentley parked outside.


    217


    Eugene was already there.


    Mnie walked in stoically. The investigation result was out. The drunk man who had crashed into them was hired by Vi.


    Vi had targeted Mnie, and she hired the man almost immediately after she found out Mnie wasing to Oskon City.


    The man had followed Mnie for a few days before finally confirming the routes she took. However, Mnie had been hitching a ride from Eugene every morning to the conference hall. That man had no idea who Eugene was, which was why Eugene ended up as coteral in the crash.


    Mnie went through that man’s statement. She was reminded of how she had felt that she was being followed. At one point, she even thought she must be getting paranoid.


    It was now revealed to be Vi’s doing.


    Her hands eventually stopped flipping through the statement. Mnie handed it back to the police. “You can check the hotel’s surveince footage. You might be able to find concrete evidence of the man following me.”


    She added, “My room door had been tampered with by someone before. Could they have been trying to get inside?“.


    Mnie said this calmly, and the police recorded her statement somberly as they asked, “Is there anything else you’d like to add?”


    She lowered her eyes and thought about it before looking up slowly. She showed no emotions as she asked, “If all the evidence points to Vi, what will happen to her?”


    “Assault, invasion of privacy, aiding and abetting… If all the evidence is stacked up against her, it’ll depend on how serious the situation is. She’ll be sentenced to three years or more in prison.”


    The policeman’s reply was clearly heard in the office. Mnie nodded as she looked up at Eugene, who was standing opposite her.
