Chapter 349

Melanie gripped her phone. “I’m going out to take this call.”

With that, she took her phone and left the villa.

The ringing continued. The call was an unknown number from Hearth City, but Melanie could guess

who it was.

Recently, she had received calls from Hearth City every day. At first, it was Dylan, but after Melanie

blacklisted her, the calls came from a different number every time.

She had a pile of messages from different numbers now. They were either scolding her for being an

unfilial daughter or begging her to answer the phone. The latest message was a threat, saying she

would regret it if she did not answer the phone.

Melanie picked up the call. After a moment of silence, George’s sinister voice came across the

receiver. “Melanie, you finally picked up the phone.”

“I told Dylan not to contact me again.”

George sneered. “If you don’t want to contact her, so be it, but she’s your mother. Why shouldn’t she try

to call you? Don’t you care about your mother?”

Melanie interrupted coldly when she heard his voice. “If there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up now

“Give me another five hundred thousand dollars!” George quickly growled at her. “You have so much

money, anyway. I heard that you’re still keeping that old fart in the hospital? If you ask me, that’s just a

waste of money! It’s only a matter of time before he does. Why don’t you just give the money to your

mother and me instead?”

George spoke matter–of–factly, and the coldness in Melanie’s eyes grew. She asked, “Where’s Dylan?”

She did not care about the money she had transferred to Dylan last time, and she did not want to

investigate if Dylan was lying to her. She only hoped that Dylan would keep her word and stay away

from her from now on.

However, it was now obvious that Dylan had been lying to her again.

“Stop asking questions and just pay up!”

If I do pay you, how much will you ask for next time?” Melanie’s expression did not change. She did not

even bother to change her tone. She only said, “I won’t give you a single cent.”

Melanie went back to the villa. Xander had told them all about what had happened, and the group was

discussing where they were going to celebrate.

Reny asked her, “Before I came here, I saw that there’s a famous grilled fish restaurant in Jepton. It’s in

the north of the city. Do you know where it is?”

Melanie did not care much for food, but she had heard Yana talk about it before. She nodded. ” I know.”

However, she did not expect this meal to be so unpleasant.

The north of the city was an old district, and it was not as well–developed as the south of the city. She

was a little surprised to see Simon here.

After all, once when she accompanied Eugene to a gathering, Simon heard that she was from the north

of the city and turned his nose up in disdain.

In Simon’s eyes, a backward old town was no different from a slum.

Simon seemed to see her too, but for once, he did not come over to pick a fight. Instead, he turned and

went into the soup bar next door. It looked like it had just opened.

Reny pulled Melanie into the grilled fish shop. The fish there was fresh and grilled to perfection.

Halfway through their meal, the phone on the table vibrated. An unknown number had sent her another

message. It seemed like George had changed his number and was harassing her again.

Suddenly losing her appetite, Melanie picked up her phone and got up.

“Melanie, are you full already?”

“I’m a little stuffed. I’m going outside to take a breather.”

This place was not that far from her home. Melanie stood under the old oak tree by the door of the

shop.

People came and went behind her. She stood there, shivering. She felt isolated from everything around

her

– until she heard a cold snort and Viola’s hesitant voice behind her. Melanie? What are you doing

here?”
