She stared straight at Lee. However, Lee remained silent. He recalled the moment in the elevator when Matthew mentioned wanting to meet Melanie and a thin layer of sweat formed on his forehead. He subconsciously looked toward Eugene, “Mr. Scott…”

Eugene’s gaze flickered for a moment before he looked at Melanie calmly and asked blankly, “Who do you want to meet? Matthew?”

Lee coughed and Melanie realized then that she had been too direct. After a pause, she added, “He looks like someone I know.”

Eugene’s gaze dropped and he looked at her with a subtle smile. “A very cliché reason.”

She had some thoughts but did not want to engage in further discussion with Eugene here. So, Melanie decided it would be more appropriate to ask Lee privately later in the evening through text.

Head lowered, she informed Lee before making her way upstairs. The moment she turned around, she heard Eugene’s voice say, “Don’t get involved with that person.”

Melanie paused and looked back at Eugene. His expression was calm, but his eyes were like an endless black sea, profound and unfathomable.

Melanie’s gaze remained unchanged as she calmly replied, “You’re thinking too much. I’m not that

bored to have nothing else on my mind.”

“Regardless, Matthew is not someone you can afford to provoke,” Eugene added after hearing Melanie’s response. He seemed somewhat displeased. There was a frown on his face and his voice had lowered to an unprecedented seriousness.

The hotel was bustling with people and the crystal chandelier above Melanie sparkled, casting its brilliance down on her. She looked at Eugene expressionlessly, calmly reminding him, “Even if I want to provoke him, it’s none of your business.”

Still frowning, Eugene was about to say something when Lee spoke up from beside him. “Melanie, Mr. Scott is letting you know that Matthew is a scheming man and ruthless in his actions. Getting involved with him might not be a good idea.”

“Is that so?” Melanie’s expression remained unchanged as she softly asked back.

Seeing her indifferent demeanor, a trace of profound chill flashed in Eugene’s eyes. “If you

“If you don’t

believe me, you can give it a try,” he said coldly.

“Of course, I will.” After saying this, she lowered her gaze, concealing her thoughts.

There were too many coincidences surrounding Matthew, and he indeed looked very similar to Melanie’s father, Howard Smith.

However, Melanie could not tell Eugene any of this, so she walked straight into the elevator. Once inside, Eugene’s expression immediately turned cold and his gaze became icy as it fixed itself on the

elevator door.

Lee cleared his throat. “I will remind Melanie again-”

Before he could finish speaking, Eugene interrupted him. He swept a cold glance over and said, Remind her what?”

“That Matthew seems dangerous. I always thought it bad to have too much contact with him,” Lee answered in a low voice, furrowing his brow.

When Matthew came today to discuss matters with Eugene, the interaction had not been very pleasant. Both were shrewd men of the business world, they had constantly tested each other, but the outcome was not as satisfactory.

Matthew now held 49% of the Qaisa family’s shares. He had practically turned the tables and gained significant influence within the company. Though his methods were somewhat ruthless, who would care about that in the business world?

Having been with Eugene for a considerable time, Lee could sense Eugene’s wariness towards

Matthew.
