The phone continued ringing for several seconds before it ended. Melanie took her phone and left the

kitchen. Yvonne asked her, “Mel, aren’t you having the stew?”

Melanie replied, “I’m good.” She had not actually had dinner that night, but she was feeling a little

queasy and simply had no appetite.

At Jepton Hotel, LeapCo’s gathering had just ended. Holding her phone in hand, Stella sneered,

“Satisfied?”

Eugene was seated across from her, his gaze cold and indifferent. There was no expression on his

face as he asked, “I should be asking you that.”

Despite being in her 50s, Stella had taken good care of herself and still looked youthful. She gazed at

Eugene with disdain. “Eugene, don’t forget that I’m your mother. You think I can’t handle a house for

you?

“I’ve said I won’t let her into the family. There is just no way. Don’t think I don’t know what you’re

thinking!”

Stella pointed at Eugene, her tone gradually turning harsh. “You really take after your father, liking

those low–born women!”

“Stella!” Cedric suddenly stood up, his face dark as he stared at Stella. “You should watch your mouth!”

Stella scoffed. “Cedric, I’m already giving you face in front of these outsiders. Don’t forget how you got

to where you are today.”

Eugene looked on indifferently at the tense atmosphere between them, as if he were accustomed to it.

Stella and Cedric continued arguing about their never–ending grips. As tempers flared, Stella pointed

at Eugene and said, “Cedric, look at your good son. He’s just like you, someone who enjoys playing

with rubbish! You’re both equally foolish!”

Eugene stood up expressionlessly. He glanced at the two who were still quarreling coldly and said in a

voice that could freeze, “I just don’t like others casually touching my things, that’s all.

His mood was sour, and he gave off an aura that warned strangers to keep their distance. Seeing

Eugene in this state, Viola felt a bit uneasy.

She deliberately stayed behind after the banquet, hoping to wait for Eugene and see if she could get

him to introduce her to his parents. Even though Stella’s attitude toward her was not good, Viola had

heard that Stella initially could not tolerate Melanie either.

Stella only gradually accepted her after they continued to interact with one another more.

Viola figured if Melanie could achieve that, why not her?

She bit her lip, put on a faint smile, and approached Eugene. She attempted to link her arm with his.

However, Eugene avoided her.

Viola was momentarily stunned before exclaiming in disbelief, “Eugene, what’s wrong with you?”

Eugene’s steps came to a halt. He stopped and looked at Viola with dark eyes. “Did I do something to

upset you?” she asked, expression aggrieved.

Faint creases appeared on Eugene’s forehead. “I’m thinking about something else.” He then added, “I’ll

bring you home first.”

Viola acknowledged with a soft hum and lowered her head without saying anything else.

Whenever Eugene took her out, he would send her home regardless of how late it was. Viola was not

an innocent woman. She had hinted at Eugene before, but he always claimed it was not the right time.

Melanie set her alarm for six in the morning. Even though Xander had promised to help her, Melanie

could not just sit back and wait without doing anything.
