Mnie looked at Eugene. She wanted to find any hint of emotion in his eyes. After all, he had heard what the policeman said..


    However, Eugene’s face betrayed nothing. He met Mnie’s eyes. There was a calm look in his eyes as if this entire situation had nothing to do with him.


    Mnie’s lips moved slightly, but she said nothing. It was after a while that she asked Eugene, “Did you hear that?”


    Eugene drummed his fingers on the table. His dark eyes stared at Mnie for <b>a </b>while. “Why didn’t you tell me what happened at the hotel?”


    When Mnie mentioned her hotel room door being tampered with, she had no idea that she sounded hesitant and anxious.


    Eugene stared at her, and he said in a growl, “This is Oskon City, not Jepton. Don’t you know what basic safety is?”


    He suddenly sounded usatory, and Mnie was taken aback. She swallowed her original words.


    It took her a while before retorting to Eugene, “Why should I tell you about it? I don’t think I need to remind you of your rtionship with Vi Shaw.”


    She lowered her head after that and scoffed softly. “But I don’t think you’ll have any time to be concerned about me. Didn’t anyone tell you? Quentin Emerson has admitted that Vi was involved with what he did.


    “Justice will always prevail,” Mnie repeated the slogan on a promotional poster that was on the wall behind Eugene.


    She looked at Eugene when she uttered thest part. The look in her eyes was calm, but it was clear that she was judging Eugene while looking at him.


    Mnie observed him while saying this. He could tolerate and protect Vi when they were back at Jepton.


    However, this was


    Jepton.


    What was Eugene able to do to save Vi here?


    She did not hide her judgmental look when staring at Eugene. Lee looked concerned when he noticed it. He hesitated before saying, “Mnie, it was because Mr. Scott…”


    “Lee,” Eugene interrupted him coldly with his crisp voice. Lee looked at Eugene but said nothing in the end.


    After getting to the bottom of this, it was confirmed that Vi was the one responsible for everything that had happened to Mnie in Oskon City.


    Hugh stood next <b>to </b>Mnie. He straightened up and nced at Eugene from the corners of his eyes before asking, “Is there anything else required of Mnie? If not, I need to take her to dinner.”


    “There’s nothing for now. We’ll be done after we record the statement. We’ll contact you if we need anything else.”


    Hugh nodded. He looked at Mnie and took off his hat. He put it on her head and said earnestly, “It’s windy out there. You shouldn’t catch a cold.”


    Mnie grunted a thanks. She left with Hugh after giving her statement to the police.


    When they got to the entrance, she stopped and turned back to look deeply at Eugene.


    Eugene did not move. He watched silently as Mnie left with Hugh. He could not tear away his eyes from the direction.


    “Mr. Scott.” Lee noticed the look on his face and hesitated before continuing, Why didn’t you tell Mnie that you’ve been protecting Vi because of LeapCo’s ssified information? Quentin Emerson admitted to Vi’s involvement because of…”


    Eugene frowned subtly and turned his gaze away slowly. He said stoically, ” What’s the point of telling her about it?”


    Lee replied, “Mnie doesn’t know the truth.”


    “She doesn’t need to know about it,” Eugene said in a low voice. He left the office with Lee. It was windy outside, and it hurt to feel the sharp wind on his face.


    Eugene looked at the huge billboard shining on the tall building outside. There was a glint of emotion in his eyes as he suppressed the feeling inside him.


    He asked Lee, “Is there any news from the headquarters? Are they still unhappy with me?”
