She did not care if he was coming to Jepton. She deleted the message and ignored him.
There was a lot of work to do after the holidays. Melanie had been on vacation for a long time, and work had accumulated.
That night, Melanie did not return to North district but went straight to the office to handle a few client issues.
She had to leave for Oskon City soon, and there was still a lot of work to finish.
When Reny saw how fast Melanie threw herself into work, she siglred. “Workaholics like you are so scary. | think | need to consider if | want to continue being your friend. I'm afraid of being worked to death by you.” Despite saying that, Reny still helped out Melanie with work. She picked up a file and said to Melanie, “I'm heading out to deliver this document.” The entire villa turned silent after Reny left. Xander had headed out for a meeting earlier in the morning, so Melanie was the only one left. x] However, Reny cback to the villa within five minutes with a strange look on her face.
“Melanie, your dad is outside. He says he wants to see you, but the security guards are stopping him from entering.” Melanie was taken aback to hear that. She looked at her phone. Howard had only, sent her the message last night about coming to Jepton.

“I don’t want to argue about this with you.” Howard stared at Melanie for a while before sighing. He put on a fatherly look and said, “Mel, you shouldn't be this antagonistic toward me. I'm here to have a serious talk with you.” “There's nothing to say between us.” Melanie had seen Howard for the superficial and materialistic man he truly was. What he had described to be a serious talk was just his way of trying to reap any benefits he could from taking advantage of her.
The look in Melanie's eyes dimmed. She was about to walk past Howard.
“Melanie!” Howard got angry when he saw Melanie ignoring him. He shouted at her to stop, “Why won't you listen to me?! “The engagement between Eugene Scott and Evelyn Shue was decided by their parents. You should take a good look at yourself. How can you compare to Evelyn Shue?”
