“Oh, you were just in the flirting stage?” Harriet nodded <b>in </b>understanding. “Although, Eugene Scott has quite a ruthless personality. It must require a lot of courage to date him.
“My friend says that it’s always scary to see him at work. I heard that he used to have a fiancee, but things didn’t work out between them.”
Mnie stayed in Jepton for a couple more days as she was worried that Merry would have a fever again.
Yvonne came straight to <b>Mnie </b><b>the </b>moment <b>she </b><b>got </b><b>off </b>work. Liana visited once <b>as </b>well but had to leave in a hurry soon after. The Solomons <b>were </b>in a state <b>of </b><b>chaos </b>recently<b>, </b>and <b>it </b>was probably the reason why Xander wasing <b>back</b>.
Stephen called Mnie <b>to </b>ask about her<b>, </b>but he could not visit her <b>because </b>he was <b>in </b>Oskon City.
Mnie had not seen Stephen since she moved to Nava. They only kept in touch via phone calls and
messages.
She jokingly asked Stephen if he was nning <b>to </b>break into the Oskon City market. He paused before replying, “It’s not impossible<b>. </b>I’d like <b>to </b><b>develop </b>something in Oskon City if there’s an opportunity.”
Mnie was reminded <b>of </b>Nicole but did not mention anything about her.
It was Friday, and the weather was nice<b>. </b>Mnie was bored being stuck inside the hotel and brought Merry out for a walk.
She did not expect to bump into Vi.
To be more precise, she bumped into Vi helping a middle–aged man with a limp. The man reeked of alcohol, and he was not dressed particrly well. <b>He </b>did not look taller than Vi because of his limp.
It looked like Vi was helping him walk, but in fact, he was the <b>one </b>who was grabbing onto Vi’s arm. Mnie could hear his loud voice despite being a <b>traffic </b>light away from them.
“What’s wrong with my drinking? It’s <b>better </b>than a hen like you who <b>can’t </b><by </b>a single egg, isn’t it?! You don’t have a healthy body<b>, </b>and <b>you </b>aren’t <b>even </b>a virgin<b>! </b><b>You </b>should <b>be </b>happy that I’m even willing to marry <b>you</b>.
“Don’t forget as well that my mother paid your family a dowry <b>of </b>2,000!”
He must <b>have </b>been drunk <b>because </b><b>he </b><b>was </b>slurring and was <b>not </b>speaking <b>very </b>clearly.
Mnie was reminded of what Yana had told her. Vi had gotten married<b>, </b>so <b>this </b>man had to be <b>her </b>
husband.
She had no sympathy for what she <b>saw</b><b>, </b><b>especially </b>when it was Vi.

Vi spotted Mnie, and she stood motionless with a nk look on her face, Vi was thinner than before. She looked haggard and sallow. Her cheekbones were showing prominently, Mnie wondered what Vi had gone through the past year to end up looking like that.
Mnie reacted calmly to seeing Vi, but Vi had a bigger reaction. She quickly lowered her head. Before the green light lit up, she tried to drag her alcoholic husband away.
He yanked her back and yelled drunkenly, “Are you blind?! Are you trying to get me killed and take my money to see other men behind my back?!
Mnie frowned the moment this fiasco started and quickly walked off with Merry.
There was a mall near the hotel with a tiger kiddie ride outside. Merry pointed at it excitedly.
Mnie apanied her as Merry rode in it. The ride had just started when a few people walked out of the mall. “Where should we go next, Timothy? How about going up Autumn Hill? I heard they’ve gotten a few new rides there that really fly,”
“How fast can it go? Is it better than riding on me?” A voice filled with disdain was heard.
Mnie froze when she heard this voice.
It was Timothy.
What was he doing there?
The kiddie ride had not ended, and Mnie could not leave with Merry. She tried her best to be invisible as her back was facing Timothy.
However, Merry was having too much fun on the ride, and she could not stop chuckling.
Timothy hated children, and he began cursing at them impatiently. His gaze fell on Mnie’s slender back, and his eyes narrowed slightly.
