Eugene paused. “When will you ever learn to be responsible for yourself?”

Melanie wanted to say something, but when she met Eugene’s eyes, she had no idea what to say.

It was a while later when she put on her coat and went out with Eugene.

He did not take her anywhere far. They had dinner on the second floor of the hotel. The food he ordered was mild–tasting.

Melanie had some chowder and did not feel like eating anymore. She wanted to return to her room.

“Miss Henson just called.” Eugene placed a bowl of warm pudding in front of Melanie. He said calmly, “Luther Laing approached her this morning to get her help to convince you to drop the lawsuit.”

Melanie stared at the pudding and said, “Miss Henson didn’t call me about this.”

Eugene paused. “She mentioned it while we were discussing LeapCo’s business.”

Melanie looked down. She felt a little doubtful about Zara calling Eugene to talk about what Luther said.

Eugene sniggered before saying nonchalantly, “It’s normal for Miss Henson to be aware that you used to be an employee at LeapCo.”

Melanie grunted a reply and asked, “What happened to Luther Laing after Miss Henson rejected his suggestion?”

She sounded sure that Zara would reject him.

Eugene’s eyebrow raised slightly. He said slowly, “Luther has been to the hospital to see Dylan. James. saw him there.”

Luther had gone to see Dylan.

This had confirmed Melanie’s guess.

However, she asked, “What about Viola?”

If Dylan had something to do with Luther, that meant Viola was guilty.

Eugene paused when he heard Viola’s name. He replied, “She wasn’t there.”

Melanie had now lost her appetite completely. She was about to leave when Eugene pushed the pudding toward her again. He insisted, “Have more.”

Before she could say anything, he continued, “If you don’t want to go to court looking so terrible…”

Melanie choked back her words.

The pudding was delicious, and Melanie finished it quickly. When she got up to leave, Eugene spoke

up again, “We need to see Jackson tomorrow morning. His assistant came back to us about the feedback. I’ll wait for you downstairs.”

Melanie paused a moment before turning to leave.

She checked her phone when she returned to her room and saw a message from Seraphine informing

her about Luther.

Melanie pressed her lips as she replied to Seraphine’s message. It took only a few seconds for Seraphine to reply to Melanie: [No.] Melanie’s expression remained stoic.

She had asked Seraphine if Viola had gone to the hospital with Luther.

Melanie did not feel much when she saw Seraphine’s reply. She put her phone down and went to sleep.

However, she still felt tired.

The next day, Eugene waited downstairs just like he told Melanie.

When they arrived at Jackson’s office in the conference hall, they did not see him, but Candy appeared

instead.

She was waiting eagerly for them at the door and ran happily toward Melanie. “You’re here, Melanie! I’ve been waiting a long time for you…”

Candy was an adorable and lively girl who skipped when she ran. She wanted to skip over next to Melanie, but a hand reached out to block her way.

She looked along the arm toward the face of the owner and met Eugene’s cold eyes.

Candy blinked and pouted at Melanie. She said a little unhappily, “You have an unfriendly boyfriend,

Melanie.”
