Melanie took a deep breath and said, “Dylan Lancaster, do you have any idea that Grandpa is lying in
the hospital now waiting for an operation?”
Dylan blinked and asked blankly, “Wasn’t that just a stroke? Why would he need an operation?”
There was disbelief in Dylan’s tone, and this angered Melanie.
She turned to look at Eugene. “Aren’t the security in LeapCo working today? Why did you allow her
inside?”
Eugene looked at her. “Are you blaming me for this?”
Melanie held back her anger. Dylan was her mother, and she had pined for her love so much that
Melanie had allowed her to get away with things again and again.

She deserved it.
“Melanie.” Eugene’s deep and cold voice was heard once more. He looked sarcastically at her. ” Were
you the one who told your mother that we were in a relationship?
“Tell me, what relationship do we have?”
Eugene’s tone sounded calm and even nonchalant, but to Melanie, he sounded quite sarcastic.
She lowered her eyes. “You said it yourself that we’re two adults getting what we need.”
Eugene sneered and lifted his chin slightly. “This is a place of work, not your home. I hope nothing like
this will happen again.
“To be honest, I have no interest in your family’s degrading behavior.”
This was a great humiliation to Melanie, and she pressed her lips. She grabbed Dylan’s arm again.
Melanie did not have much strength in her wrist as she had hit the railing on her way over due to the
heavy rain.
Fortunately, she had stepped on the brakes in time and avoided a serious accident. However, she
sprained her right wrist due to this, and it was hurting slightly.
Dylan did not notice that Melanie was hurt. She even pushed hard against her hurt wrist while trying to
stand up straight.
She was feeling tired from bending in fear and humility in front of Eugene.
Melanie frowned at the pain in her wrist. She wanted to take a sharp breath when she felt the pain but
forced herself to hold it back.
While dragging Dylan out of the office, she suddenly remembered something and stopped in her steps.
She turned back to look at Eugene. “When did LeapCo decide to take part in the finance exhibition?”
Eugene stared at her. “What are you trying to say?”

Melanie replied, “I don’t believe you’re not aware that Xander Soloman is the person in charge of the
company behind the proposal.”
“Xander Solomon?” Eugene looked darkly at her. There was a sarcastic smile on his face and a flash of
frustration in his eyes. “Are you questioning me because of Xander Solomon?”
Melanie had no idea what Eugene was thinking. She stared at him and said calmly, “You’ve been
targeting him all this time.”
The office suddenly felt chilly. Eugene looked at her. He said nothing, but it felt intimidating when facing
him.
It took him a long time before he said, “Get out.”
Melanie glanced at him. She was mentally exhausted and was in no mood to argue with Eugene. As
she turned to leave, she heard Eugene say, “LeapCo can’t afford to face a family like yours, Melanie.
“Don’t come to the office anymore.”
