Mnie was not surprised to see Eugene and Lee, but when she recalled how Eugene had mocked her, she ignored them and headed to hail a taxi.


    Lee cleared his throat and said, “Mr. Scott, why don’t I call Mnie over?”


    Eugene was dealing with LeapCo’s business through his phone. He lifted his head, and his gaze was cold.


    Lee rubbed his nose and said nothing more.


    Mnie and Eugene arrived at the conference hall almost at the same time. Mnie’s eyes met Vi’s.


    Vi was not even bothered to hide her hatred anymore.


    Mnie lifted her eyebrow slightly, knowing Vi had not yet been informed about what had happened in Jepton.


    That was alright…


    A glimpse of hatred shed across Mnie’s eyes. She calmly looked at Vi, noticing her scary and gloomy expression. Vi stared back at Mnie, and her awful expression distorted her delicate face.


    However, her expression faded in just a second, and a smile was on her face again.


    Footsteps came from behind Mnie. When she turned around, she saw Eugene walking in expressionlessly.


    His gaze fell on Mnie, and he looked straight at Harvey behind her.


    Harvey had been there talking to the others. It seemed he did not intend to greet


    Mnie.


    If that was the case, Mnie would never approach him.


    He could ignore Mnie, but he could not overlook Eugene. Even if the Qaisa family were against LeapCo, he was just the person in charge. <b>He </b>would not be that dumb to show his hostility toward Eugene.


    Harvey put on a professional smile. “Good morning, Mr. Scott. The conference is about to end in a few days. But you’re still as punctual as always<b>.</b><b>” </b>


    Eugene was one of the investors, and Harvey would naturally tter him.


    However, Eugene <b>nced </b>at him and said coldly, “You sound like you don’t wish- to <b>see </b>me here<b>.</b>”

    Startled, Harvey quickly exined, “Mr. Scott, why would you think so? Nothing important is being discussed in the conference, so you don’t have to waste your time popping in.”


    Eugene sneered, and his voice was still as cold as his personality.


    “Redwaves is already rejecting LeapCo’s cooperation. Do you still think that’s unimportant?”


    “Eugene.” Vi stood up and frowned as she denied Eugene’s words. “Mr. Grant has no intention of making things difficult for LeapCo. He simply wants to


    eliminate some studios that are unworthy of investment.”


    Vi nced at Mnie when she mentioned the word ‘studios‘. Mnie showed no expression.


    As someone who was only mediocre in her work, Vi was good at interrupting to tter her boss.


    Eugene was trying to pressure Harvey, yet Vi spoke up for Harvey. Mnie wondered if she was a fool or trying to help Harvey hide something.


    Harvey used this opportunity to talk about the safety issues again.


    Mnie walked away.


    Harvey did not care about her anyway.


    Mnie was in an awkward situation.


    Everyone knew Burning Star Studio was being targeted, and they dared not speak to her as they were afraid of being implicated. Thus, only Yvette and Eric would approach her.


    Moreover, after the public rejection, Mnie had been sensing strange gazes on her since she arrived.


    Even Vi shot her mocking nces, but Mnie ignored them. She was waiting for the call from Jepton.


    Fortunately, <b>it </b>came quicker than expected.
