Chapter 359
The two were standing very close to each other, and the faint smell of wine from Eugene’s clothes kept
making its way into Melanie’s nose.
It smelt like the wine Viola had spilled onto her clothes just now.
Melanie turned her head the other way, a slight frown on her face.
That knowledge made her feel inexplicably annoyed.
Eugene’s hand was still placed against her neck, and Melanie decided he was not in the right frame of
mind because he had been drinking.
She gritted her teeth and reached out to swat his hand away from her. A cold look appeared in her
eyes as she took several steps backward. She said, “Please watch yourself, Mr. Scott.”
The look in Eugene’s eyes darkened, and it became difficult to discern what emotion he was
experiencing. He merely continued staring at Melanie, and his eyes looked like a whirlpool that could
actually suck her in.
Moments later, he asked hoarsely, “Are you fine with anyone as long as it’s a man?”
He had been drinking and was breathing more heavily than usual. His eyes were also slightly bloodshot
because of that.
“Myself, Stephen, Xander, Bernard… Who’s the next guy going to be? Simon, or the Emerson fellow?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtDisgust was practically flowing from Eugene’s eyes. “Should I describe you as being overly patient or
overly willing to go out on a limb?”
Melanie did not want to waste her time arguing with a drunk. Besides, everything coming out of
Eugene’s mouth was all nonsense. He would not believe her despite the countless times she had tried
to explain herself, least now when he was drunk.
Melanie shut her eyes and forced herself to rein in her emotions before she opened them again. She
stared at Eugene as she said, “So, why do you keep appearing before me when you know the sort of
person I am?”
For example, he had pulled her behind him that afternoon.
Why did he do that?
Anger flared within Melanie as she raised her head slightly to meet Eugene’s eyes. “You know, what
you’re doing makes you seem even cheaper than I am, Eugene. It’s making me think you’re trying to
establish your presence in my mind because you can’t get over me.”
A dark look appeared in Eugene’s eyes. A frosty expression settled across his face as he narrowed his
eyes and asked, “Do you think you’re worthy of that?”
A mocking grin appeared on Melanie’s face, and she paused momentarily before she answered, “No,
I’m not.”
The manor was brightly lit, but it seemed dimmer in the parking lot because of how many trees there
were.
Melanie accidentally stubbed her toe against a rock when she located her car. A throbbing pain
immediately shot up her leg.
She spent some time just sitting in her car and recovering from the pain before driving off,
It was late when Melanie got home, and she immediately fell asleep after washing up. However, the
foot that had come into contact with the rock still hurt slightly.
The next morning, Melanie was awoken by the sound of her phone ringing
It was another call from Hearth City, Melanie merely glanced at her screen before rejecting the call and
blocking the number.
She went through the motions with ease. Over 20 numbers from Hearth City had made their way into
her blocklist.
Her grandfather had been transferred into a general ward, and she had longer visitation hours now.
Melanie accompanied him to his check–ups before she went to meet Xander and the others.
On her way there, she received a call from Stephen. “Mel, didn’t you leave the party early last night?
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWhy did you go back?”
“I left my purse behind, so I went to get it.”
Sensing Stephen’s hesitation, Melanie frowned and asked, “What’s the matter?”
“It’s nothing. It’s just that some people in the group chat are spreading rumors around. I decided to ask
you because I was worried, but I’m not worried anymore since you’re alright.”
Stephen did not elaborate, but Melanie immediately guessed what was going on.
It was definitely Simon’s doing. After seeing her and Bernard together last night, he was spreading
rumors that she had purposely returned to the venue to seduce Bernard.
An odd look appeared on Melanie’s face. People like him had nothing better to do with their time and
spent their days causing trouble for others.
However, the fact that Stephen had called her…
Melanie bit her lip as she gave a self–deprecating laugh. It was only reasonable that he suspected her
when a chatterbox like Simon existed, coupled with her terrible reputation.
However, what she was not expecting was she would be greeted with even more headache- inducing
news after she went to meet Xander.
LeapCo would also be part of the exhibition Blue Inc and Burning Star Studio were collaborating on.
