Chapter 567

She spoke with genuine emotion and coupled with her frail and pale appearance, she was a pitiful image to behold.

Despite the sincerity in her words, Eugene’s gaze remained indifferent. His eyes exuded a distant coldness that rejected her from a thousand miles away.

Viola bit her lip when she saw Eugene’s unmoved expression. She unlocked her phone and showed it to him. “Look, I’m not lying to you. Melanie voluntarily arranged to meet Mason. She dislikes him so much, so why would she willingly meet up with him? There must be some sinister plot or scheme.

“And after Mason came back, I overheard him telling someone that Melanie intends to retaliate against LeapCo.”

Phone in hand, Viola’s eyes were tinged with red as she looked at Eugene. “I know I’ve done wrong, but I used to be part of LeapCo. I also hope LeapCo will be fine-”

Her performance was convincingly sincere, but Eugene did not seem to care much. His attention was solely focused on Viola’s phone.

In the photo, Melanie and Mason were sitting face to face, with something placed between them. It looked like they were having a pleasant conversation. Although the photo only showed a side profile taken sneakily, it was enough for him to recognize that it was Melanie and Mason.

Eugene’s eyes remained dark and still, it was unclear what he was thinking.

Viola waited for Eugene’s reaction nervously. Admittedly, her days at Rockwater were miserable. Especially since she discovered that Mason had been flirting with several other girls on his phone. He had chatted with them the same way he had chatted with her.

Determined, Viola raised her eyes to look at Eugene. Mason could not compare to Eugene at all in any aspect, whether in terms of ability or appearance. Eugene was outstanding in every way. Moreover, her family still did not know about their breakup and was urging her to bring him home for dinner. If it were not for her trying to pretend to her family that she and Eugene were fine, Viola felt she would never have gone to a place like Rockwater.

Prepared for the worst, she spoke in a low voice, “Eugene, I know I was wrong…”

However, the moment she said that, Eugene immediately walked past her and then straight out. Viola was stunned. After coming back to her senses, she immediately chased after him. “Eugene?”

Eugene’s steps did not falter. Instead, he merely replied coldly, “Does Mason know that you come to LeapCo every day?”

Viola’s body stiffened. “Eugene, what do you mean?”

“You don’t even understand a question like this?” Eugene sneered. In the gaze that he cast back at Viola, there was impatience. “Do I need to remind you? You have a history of leaking corporate secrets.”

“I didn’t…” Viola mumbled to explain, but she heard Eugene’s voice again, There is still one month until our agreement. Whether you end up in prison or come out unscathed in this month, it’s up to you to decide.”

His words were left with almost no room for sentimentality. Slowly, a hint of despair appeared on Viola’s face.

She understood what Eugene said very well. Since Eugene found out that she had given the documents to Mason, he had not shown any mercy. It was only later that Lee had suddenly sought her out for some reason and mentioned the opportunity to make amends.

Initially, she thought it was because Eugene was unwilling to let her go and was showing her tolerance. She thought he was giving her a chance. It was not until later when she could not enter the president’s office and see Eugene anymore that she realized he was serious.

He was not unwilling to see her go, he was not tolerating her; he genuinely wanted her to pay for her mistakes.

Viola suddenly felt as if the air had been knocked out of her. She fell to her knees, clutching her chest.
