Chapter <b>797 </b>
Mnie’s <b>flight </b><b>was </b>at ten in the morning. Yvonne wanted to drive her to the airport<b>, </b>but Mnie had declined her offer.
The <b>cab </b><b>was </b>already waiting outside the vi. Xander was carrying her suitcase for her, while Yvonne pouted. <b>“</b>You’ll be in Oskon City for so long this time, and Reny is leaving for her studies. I’ll be so bored alone in Jepton.”
Mnieforted her. <b>“</b>You can meet me in Oskon <b>City</b>.<b>” </b>
Yvonne looked at her resentfully. She wanted to <b>say </b>something but hesitated. In the end, she could only sigh and say, “Forget it. I don’t like Oskon <b>City</b>. The people there work too hard. It’s suffocating.” Xander put Mnie’s luggage in the trunk and walked over to thedies, looking down at Mnie quietly. She would <b>stay </b>in Oskon City for at <b>least </b>two <b>to </b>three <b>months </b><b>this </b><b>time</b><b>. </b>
Although she was pregnant<b>, </b>but she had not gained any weight at <b>all</b><b>. </b>Instead, she was even thinner than before.
“I’ll wait <b>for </b>you toe back.” After a while, he put a good luck charm in her hand.
Mnie blinked. Xander had recently given her one during the New Year,
<b>too</b><b>. </b>
“I got it from a church in Prime City. It will keep <b>you </b>safe,” Xander said simply<b>. </b>He looked at Mnie, his usually clear eyes filled with a rare wave of emotions. His voice was barely a whisper – low, warm, and hypnotic. “Take it, Mel<b>.</b>”
Mnie’s heart skipped a beat, and she subconsciously epted the charm. After that, she did not linger any longer. She quickly got into the cab and headed <b>for </b>the airport.
鳌
As the driver turned the corner, Mnie inadvertently saw a small white car in the rearview mirror. That car had been behind her when she left the vi’spound as <b>well</b><b>. </b>She took a second look at it and retracted her gaze<b>. </b>
However, when they were about <b>to </b>reach the freeway<b>, </b>the car was still right behind them. It stayed at a fixed distance behind the cab, showing <b>no </b>signs of overtaking them or changingnes.
“Excuse me<b>, </b>
could <b>you </b>
drive <b>faster</b>?” Mnie asked the driver in a low <b>voice</b><b>. </b>
“Why? Are <b>you </b>in a hurry?”
“I…” Before she could finish her sentence<b>, </b>there was a loud honking of horns, followed by the driver bursting into <b>expletives </b>and abruptly turning <b>the </b><b>steering </b>wheel-
They were barely a few hundred miles away from <b>the </b>freeway entrance<b>. </b>The divider was to their right, and there were trucks <b>to </b>their <b>left</b>.
However, the honking did not stop!
At LeapCo’s branch office, Eugene sat at his desk, files stacked in <b>front </b><b>of </b><b>him</b><b>. </b>
Lee stood beside him. “This is everything we could find,” he said carefully. “<b>It’s </b>true that Mr. Cedric has transferred thirty percent of LeapCo’s shares to William Thames.<b>” </b>
Eugene looked down. His expression was solemn, making it difficult to tell what he was <b>thinking</b>.
Lee was silent for a moment. He did not know what to say, either.
After all, Cedric had personally brought William <b>into </b>the headquarters. Most people could tell that he wanted to raise William as his sessor.
Meanwhile, Eugene<b>, </b>his biological son, had been exiled from the headquarters and stonewalled outside…
Lee sighed inwardly and reported his findings truthfully. “There was a board meeting at headquarters recently. A <b>few </b>major shareholders led by Mr. Elliot are currently in a stalemate with the Hendersons. They will probably take William’s side.
“It’s a matter of time before the Hendersons approach you. I think we just have <b>to </b>wait a little longer…
Before he could finish, Eugene’s private phone suddenly rang.
The next second, all the blood drained from Eugene’s face after he answered the call.
Eugene sped all the way <b>to </b>the hospital. The ward was easy to find, but he suddenly stopped at the door. His pupils constricted, and his thin lips were pressed into a line.
