Eugene looked at him.

Xander’s displeasure was obvious. “By the way, Mr. Scott, Mel will not be in charge of negotiating the project with LeapCo. Oliver will take her place.”

The decision spiked Eugene’s displeasure. He squinted his eyes and looked more oppressive. “LeapCo doesn’t accept the sudden change of the person in charge.”

“So, you are trying to use this as an excuse to keep pestering her?” Xander’s mocking gaze was eye- piercing, and Eugen glared back at him.

Xander admitted deep down that he disliked Eugene more than before.

Coldly, Xander asked, “Mr. Scott, haven’t you heard of the word ‘harass’?

“You are the president of LeapCo. You do not need to squeeze everything out of your former employee even after she resigned?”

Amidst the breeze, Eugene’s gaze turned sharp as he stared at Xander. His tone was never as displeased as this moment. “Are you provoking me?”

Xander scoffed. “Why would I?”

Then, Xander headed back to the villa. Simon looked at Xander leaving and clicked his tongue. “This guy is arrogant!”

Eugene’s eyes were locked on the place Xander stood. His expression was cold as if he was about to

murder someone.

Simon patted his arm and hesitated before saying, “Let’s go. Mrs. Scott is still waiting for you at home.”

Melanie went straight to the study after entering the villa.

Before long, Xander entered the study with a glass of warm water. He placed it on the table. “Have something warm before you catch a cold.”

Melanie looked at Xander, but Xander’s eyelids were lowered, and he did not look at her.

“Xander…” Melanie hesitated.

Only after a few seconds did Xander look at Melanie.

He stood while Melanie was sitting. Melanie had to lift her head when she looked at him, and her eyes glistened under the light.

Xander looked at her beautiful eyes, and an unrecognizable emotion appeared. He gulped before he spoke in a hoarse voice, “You don’t like him anymore, do you?”

The sun was bright outside as it shone through the window along with the morning breeze.

Melanie looked into Xander’s eyes and could see Xander was cautious and was probing for an answer.

She could not answer him.

Only Yvonne and Xander knew Melanie was pregnant.

They did not tell anyone, even though Melanie said nothing about keeping it a secret.

Melanie adjusted her mood. She had nothing to hesitate about since she decided to keep the baby.

Stephen was still following Quentin’s case. Melanie wanted to meet Quentin but changed her mind. upon thinking about her baby.

She was weak. The doctor advised her to be more careful when she did the pregnancy test.

However, someone came looking for her even though she avoided meeting Quentin.

It was Mason.

Mason texted her. [I have something you want. You can have it if you meet me.]

Melanie wanted to ignore it, but Mason sent her a photo.

It was a photo of Viola and Quentin taken from a hidden angle. Moreover, they were at the hotel, and she got into trouble.

After a moment of hesitation, Melanie agreed to Mason’s request.

However, just as she headed out, she bumped into Clara. Eugene was with her.
