Chapter 270
“What are you doing here?” Eugene’s deep voice sounded, causing Melanie to pause slightly before
raising her eyes toward the voice.
Sure enough, she saw Eugene standing not far away. His gaze fell on Melanie, and his tone was calm
as he asked, “Who allowed you to come?”
Melanie’s gaze trembled slightly. “I came to look for Dr. Hel.”
“This is a LeapCo gathering. Melanie, you’ve already resigned.” Eugene’s black eyes were like an
unfathomable abyss, revealing no emotions.
“Melanie should be here. Today is the celebration of the company’s collaboration with Blue Inc. Melanie
worked hard for it,” Viola said softly as if trying to speak up for Melanie.
However, before she could maintain the gentle expression on her face, she heard Stella sneer. ” That’s
quite reasonable of you.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtStella’s words were laced with sarcasm, and Viola hesitated for a moment before instinctively looking at
Melanie. Faced with Stella’s ruthless sarcasm, she naturally hoped to see a similar reaction from
Melanie.
However, Melanie’s expression remained unchanged and calm. “Mr. Scott, the resignation procedures
haven’t been processed yet, so I’m still an employee of LeapCo.”
Eugene scoffed. “Melanie, you stop at nothing to achieve your goals.”
“I’m just stating facts.”
When Melanie spoke, her posture was upright, but only she knew how much self–contempt she felt
when uttering such words. She thought about how she resembled a shameless
scoundrel.
Cedric arrived then. When he saw a group of people gathered at the entrance, he frowned and sternly
rebuked, “What are you all doing here?”
“A shameless troublemaker is trying to stick their nose around here again,” Stella replied.
After saying this, she picked up her feet and immediately went into the banquet hall with Howard
following closely behind.
Cedric’s gaze lingered on Melanie for a moment before he turned to Eugene. His tone was neither
pleased nor angry. “Handle whatever matters you have quickly.”
“Mr. Scott, why not let Melanie in? It won’t look good for her to stay outside like this,” Viola spoke up
again. She dared to since Stella had left.
She looked at Melanie and whispered her suggestion, framing it as if Melanie had come to beg for
something. She punctuated that suggestion with a glance at Melanie.
“Melanie, there are a lot of people here today. What you did previously had a significant impact. Mr.
Scott is also considering your reputation.”
Melanie did not know where Viola was pulling all these words from. She looked at Howard’s retreating
figure and realized that it would be difficult to discuss her grandfather’s situation with him now.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMoreover, she was afraid that she might have made him uncomfortable. After thinking about it, Melanie
decided to come to the hotel a bit earlier tomorrow and wait for Howard.
With her decision made, she was about to take her leave. However, just as she took the first step, she
heard Eugene’s cool and indifferent voice again. “When did you get together with Xander?”
Melanie paused before turning to look at Eugene. “I’m not in the mood to talk about this with you right
now.”
Due to Howard’s situation, she could not help but feel anxious. She also thought Eugene might be
trying to humiliate her again, so she responded very directly.
To Eugene, however, her answer was an admission. His eyes narrowed slightly as he scrutinized
Melanie for a moment. Then, he sneered coldly and casually asked, “Melanie, what can Xander give
you that’s making you stick to him? Is it money?”
