Chapter 772_The Unfaithful Mr. Scott ( Melanie Smith )

Chapter 772 

 As expected, Howard started questioning her again as if he were interrogating her, “You’ve always denied having any rtionship with Eugene. I’m asking you onest time, is that true?”

 The mockery in Mnie’s eyes grew even more intense as she replied, “And if I say ye-”

 She was interrupted by Howard’smanding tone as he sternly lectured her, “If there’s really nothing between you and Eugene, then you should know about Peyton’s daughter being engaged to him, right?

 “If there’s nothing between you and Eugene, then you should stop associating with Eugene in the future. Don’t let people start talking about you seducing a married man!”

 Mnie listened to Howard’s words emotionlessly, not at all surprised. “What if I say my child is his? ” she asked.

 Howard fell silent but quickly responded without hesitation, “Can’t you just listen to my advice? Do you have to get involved in these unnecessary matters? What do you think Eugene is? What qualifications do you have to be with him?

 “You listen to me, Mnie. People should know their ce and not fantasize about things or people that don’t match their status. If your child is really Eugene’s, then go deal with it properly.”

 Mnie immediately ended the call once he was done.

 Howard spoke of things so lightly, but it all boiled down to one thing–she had to make way for Evelyn no matter what.

 Mnie thought she would feel angry, but after hanging up on Howard, she felt utterly bored. It was hard to muster any interest after being disappointed in someone so many times regardless of what they did.

 Reny and the rest did not spend too long in the church before </bing out. Xander wanted to stay outside with Mnie, but Oliver had dragged him in. He insisted that as the boss, Xander should personally pray for Burning Star Studio’s smooth year ahead.

 As they approached Mnie, Xander noticed herck of energy and offered her a candy from his pocket. “Are you feeling a bit tired from waiting?” 

 Mnie was indeed a bit sleepy after basking in the soothing sunlight. She looked at the familiar candy in Xander’s hand and asked, “Where did you get this kind of candy? I’ve never seen it in the supermarket before.”

 Xander raised an eyebrow. “Do you like it?”

 “It’s delicious,” Mnie replied.

 A hint of a smile appeared on Xander’s usually indifferent face. His eyes looked charming in the warm sunshine of Prime City. “All that matters is that you like it.” 

 Putting aside the matter with Howard, they had a great time in Prime City. Howard did not contact Mnie again after that phone call, so she was able to rx for a few days.

 However, she still kept an eye on the situation in Oskon City. After the holidays, she would be heading

 back there.

 During this time, Mnie learned something interesting. After being granted medical parole, the affairs between Vi, Mason, and Harvey were exposed to the public.

 Vi was crying and arguing to go to Oskon City, saying she needed to look for someone. However, her parents forcefully kept her at home. There were rampant rumors about this matter circting in Jepton, which once again made people bring up Mnie.

 However, people seemed to be speaking up for her this time.

 Mnie remained unaffected after listening to what Yana told her. This was the scariest thing about the words that came out of people’s mouths. Were these not the same people who had spoken against her back then too?

 As for Vi’s medical parole, Matthew had orchestrated it, but Mnie did not yet know his intentions. Thus, she decided to wait and watch.

 She was more interested in something else Yana mentioned. “You just said LeapCo is preparing to acquire Burning Star Studio?”

 “Yeah, there have been some significant changes in thepany recently. I heard Mr. Scott wants to go back to headquarters, but it seems like he’s facing some resistance from that side.”
