Yana told Melanie that Viola had wanted to follow Eugene, but he rejected her.
Melanie muttered expressionlessly, “Of course, he wouldn’t let her go.”
Frank was a scumbag. Almost everyone in Jepton knew this.
Eugene cared about Viola so much. Of course, he wouldn’t let her have any contact with a man like
Frank.
`Melanie tried to ignore the gossip among her colleagues. Her phone that she had placed aside
beeped. She looked at it and saw Dylan had sent her a photo of Peachie who was hooked on an IV
drip.
After a while, Melanie texted her back.
[Is Peachie alright?]

Melanie looked at the message silently and transferred the 10,000 dollars Eugene gave her to Dylan.
Eugene walked toward Melanie. “Follow me.
Recalling Frank’s perverted gaze, Melanie frowned subconsciously. Eugene noticed she was not
getting up and asked in a gloomy tone, “Are you reluctant to go?”
Standing up, Melanie said expressionlessly, “No.”
When they arrived, Frank was not there yet. Melanie took her handbag and said to Eugene, I’m going
to the restroom for a while.”
Eugene asked, “Are you nervous?”
He was talking about the photo of Frank and her. Melanie looked at him as her eyelashes fluttered. “Mr.
Scott, this joke isn’t funny.”
“Do I look like I’m joking to you?” Eugene’s expression was calm. He did not have the habit of smoking.
His fingers were slender and flawless.
His left hand rested on his right wrist, making him look lazy and casual.
Melanie had no idea what Eugene meant by this. She wanted to ask him, but before she could, Frank
had arrived.
After exchanging pleasantries with Eugene, he smiled and shook hands with Melanie. His bold and
lewd gaze made Melanie uncomfortable.

Only when they were done talking business did Frank divert his topic to Melanie. “Miss Smith, you’re
young and pretty. Do you have a boyfriend?”

After Frank’s secretary supported him and walked out of the private room, Melanie felt that her head
was heavy. She tried to get up by holding onto the table. She wanted to leave, but her legs felt like jelly,
and she fell.
Fortunately, someone held her by the arm, preventing her from falling.
Melanie squinted her eyes and saw Eugene’s expressionless face.
Startled, she reached out to grab him.
Frowning, Eugene took a step back. “Melanie.”
Melanie’s mind was blurry, and she tugged at Eugene’s shirt. She half–squatted on the ground
and lifted her head as she asked Eugene, “Don’t you like me anymore?”
Her eyes were red, and she looked puzzled. Her grip on his shirt was tight.
Eugene was stunned by her question. However, he nodded calmly. “Yes. I don’t like you anymore.”
Hearing that, Melanie loosened her grip and let Eugene help her get up.
