Eugene snorted coldly and hung up the phone. The creases on Melanie’s forehead deepened. She had a bad feeling about this. After informing Reny, she went to look for Eugene.

Not surprisingly, she bumped into Viola at the office entrance. When Viola saw Melanie, she frowned slightly and asked, “What are you doing here?”

Melanie just walked past her without even answering her and headed toward Eugene’s office.

Left alone, Viola stared at the office door, her gaze becoming increasingly dark.

Inside Eugene’s office, Melanie looked at the phone he had tossed in front of her. Her face went dark, and her lips were pressed into a straight line. After a while, she slowly said, “I’m sorry.”

”

Eugene remained expressionless as he took back his phone. He glanced at the messages on it and then placed it back on the desk. “I don’t want to hear excuses.”

Melanie opened her mouth, unsure of what to say.

The messages Eugene showed her were from an unknown number, but the tone was unmistakably George’s.

[I demand compensation! You slept with that bitch for so many years. You should give us some compensation. Otherwise, I’ll sue you for rape!

[You’re a company owner. What’s a few hundred thousand to you? If you like, I can bring that bitch to you so that you can have fun with her.

[You did this to me! Compensate me, or I’ll kill you]

There were two more messages, mostly filled with curses and unpleasant words.

“A few hundred thousand… Quite daring,” Eugene raised a brow as he looked at Melanie mockingly. ” Your stepfather has quite the audacity.”

Expression grim, Melanie asked, “How did he get your number?” 1

“Who knows?” Eugene chuckled. “If Dylan can find her way into LeapCo, anything is possible.”

Melanie did not expect George to go so far as to approach Eugene for money. She did not expect him to use such offensive and malicious language either. “You can report this to the police; it’s extortion,” she said, her breathing getting somewhat difficult.

“Will that do anything?” Eugene retorted flatly.

Melanie worriedly bit her lower lip. She found George to be a thorn in the flesh. The man was unafraid of anything. Otherwise, he would not have stirred more trouble right after he was released.

“Melanie, you’re no longer an employee of LeapCo, yet you continue to bring trouble to the company,

Eugene criticized, his dark eyes cold like a frozen abyss.

“LeapCo has no obligation to clean up your mess, and neither do I. If this happens again, you will be permanently blacklisted by the company.”

His last words were heavy, causing Melanie’s heart to sink. She still had contracts between Burning Star and LeapCo that had not been signed yet.

Still, Eugene was right. He had no obligation to clean up her mess.

Melanie’s hands were clenched tightly into fists, her nails digging into the flesh. She lowered her head to Eugene, her voice strained as she said, “Mr. Scott, I apologize for bringing trouble to LeapCo because of my personal matters.

Eugene lowered his gaze as he looked at her, his expression unreadable.

Meanwhile, the ringtone of a phone rang loudly in a small motel near Paramount Hospital. George quickly answered the call. “Who is it?” he demanded angrily.

His expression immediately changed when he heard the voice on the other end of the line. His tone became ingratiating and cautious. “Yes, yes, I know, I know. I’m figuring it out. I’ll give it to you in the next two days.

“No, no, please give me a little more time, alright? It’s coming very soon. When have I not ever repaid my debts?” He pleaded some more before finally ending the call.

Then, he kicked the old chair in front of his wounded foot, grumbling, “They keep on pushing me like they’re asking for my life! Damn it, he’s just a lackey, yet he’s acting like some big shot!”

Dylan was holding Peachie in her arms, not daring to say a word while George was acting like this. However, the man suddenly turned around and threw the phone at Dylan’s head. He shouted, Whore! Did you contact the person I told you to contact?!”
