Chapter 437
“Eugene… Viola looked at Eugene and said softly, “I wanted to go to the office in the
morning, but I felt a little feverish, so I took a pill and slept until now. I only woke up when Lee called
me.”
Eugene remained stoic and nodded without saying anything more.
Viola stood at his side. She lowered her eyes while biting her lip.
She could tell from Eugene’s tone that he was feeling impatient.
It made Viola even more upset because Eugene had given her that tone because of Melanie.
Melanie bumped into Xander and Terence when she walked out of the hospital.
Terence did not look well, and his head was drooping. Xander must have given him a lecture. When
Xander saw Melanie walk out, he asked, “Did something happen?”
“Viola is here. She wants me to keep my distance from Eugene,” Melanie said stoically.

you should have a check–up.”
“I’m really fine.” Melanie shook her head and said grimly, “But Eugene’s wounds are pretty serious. If
they decide to pursue this, it won’t be easy to resolve it.”
“This is my fault, Xander and Melanie. I’m so sorry.” Terence looked bitter. He was not in the same
situation as Oliver and the rest as he was not Xander’s friend. He was hired through a normal process.
Terence was not from a well–to–do family, and he had been feeling anxious ever since Eugene got hurt
He looked in the direction of the emergency room. “I’ll go and apologize to Mr. Scott. This is my fault,
and it has nothing to do with the studio.
“Mr. Scott had warned me that it was dangerous to leave the drywall that way, but I refused to listen to
him.”
Melanie nodded. She did not want to see Eugene and Viola again.
She returned to the North district directly.
Xander did not tell her about the outcome of his discussion with Eugene. The next day, Melanie
received a call from Stephen to see Dylan.
Melanie had wanted to see Dylan since she was at Hearth City. By the time she went over, Stephen
was already waiting at the gates.
He was wearing a white shirt as usual, but Melanie was sharp–eyed enough to notice a black string on
his wrist.
It was a cheap string that was not worth much.
Melanie could not help asking, “When did you develop a liking for such an accessory?”
For once, Stephen looked a little embarrassed. “The kids gave it to me.”
Melanie raised an eyebrow but did not say anything about it. At the thought of meeting Dylan, she lost
interest in chit–chatting with Stephen.
Dylan looked much older than she was.

Her skin was tanned but also yellow, and there was more gray hair on her head. Her eyes were
sunken, and she looked like a skeleton.
When she saw Melanie, her dim, murky eyes lit up. “Are you here to see me, Mel?”
Melanie looked at her stoically. “I have something to ask you,
“Did Viola Shaw contact you to tell you how to get money from me? Was she the one who told you that
George Chapman would take Grandpa away and extort money from me?”
Her voice was cold and direct, startling Dylan,
After a while, she nodded but shook her head the next moment.
“What do you mean?”
A sharp look appeared in Melanie’s eyes. “What do
“She did approach me, but she didn’t tell me to ask for money from you”
