Chapter 444
Viola did not say anything. At first, she had no idea that Eugene would be coming to the dinner party
today. She only heard about it by accident from Lee.
She did not understand what Eugene meant by this, so she had asked Simon tentatively. Simon had
asked her to come straight over.
In truth, though, she felt a little embarrassed.
Eugene had not told her that he was attending the banquet, so she had to come over by herself.
However, when she thought about how indifferent Eugene usually was anyway, she could only swallow

Simon smirked and patted Eugene’s arm. “I think you’re just being lazy. You didn’t have to bring a plus

Eugene looked up at him and said in a low voice, “You seem to remember better than I did.” Viola
interrupted softly, “Eugene, don’t blame Simon. I wanted to come here myself. If I’m getting in your way,
I can go back now.”
Simon clicked his tongue. “Eugene, what is the point of this? She’s just a little girl. Are you going to
chase her away? The poor thing!”
There was no emotion on Eugene’s expressionless face. His voice was extremely calm. “I never said I
was chasing her away.”
Viola blinked. “Can I follow you tonight, then?”

Cameron laughed. “Mr. Scott, your little secretary is mad at you. It’s your fault for not bringing her
along!”
Eugene paused for a moment and glanced at Viola with his dark eyes. Then he looked away and asked
Cameron casually, “I heard that Blue Inc has been reaching out to Fount City’s financial scene lately. Is
it true?”
Cameron paused. “You’re a little too well–informed, “Mr. Scott. Unfortunately, I’m not in charge of this
matter. You’ll have to ask Wagner.”
Wagner was also tactful, saying carefully, “In business, it’s normal to have a few more friends. I think
you can see where I’m coming from, right, “Mr. Scott?”
