Melanie interrupted, “I’m sorry, but I think I should clarify my position.”

Chapter 370

“To me, this is not just a family dispute but an intentional act of violence, an intentional assault.”

“What are you talking about?” Dylan slammed the table and roared before the police could even say

anything. Her eyes were bloodshot as she continued questioning Melanie in disbelief, “How can you

say such a thing? Yes, he laid hands on you, but you’ve now disabled him!”

Melanie calmly replied, “He brought it upon himself.”

“Melanie, I am your mother!”

“I already said that we’d have nothing to do with each other after you took the money.”

Melanie’s tone remained steady as she continued, “So, for me, this is a deliberate act of injury.

”

She looked at the woman in front of her, so different now that she was almost unrecognizable. “Dylan, I

still have my medical report with me. George tried to kill me.”

A hint of confusion flashed across Dylan’s face, but she insisted, “But he didn’t really kill you.

However, her words lost their momentum as they left her mouth.

Unable to stand this farce any longer, Yvonne spoke up from the side, “Ma’am, aren’t you being

ridiculous? What if Melanie had been killed? You don’t know the pain since it didn’t happen to you!”

“Everything was captured on surveillance. Is it so difficult for us to follow procedures?” Eugene said in a

deep voice after having been silent upon entering.

Looking at Melanie, he said to the police, “You said I’m a witness. What I saw matches the surveillance

footage. Moreover, I can add that the perpetrator continued to verbally abuse the victim with foul

language before the police arrived.”

The police officers‘ brows furrowed, and they exchanged a glance. They initially thought it was a typical

family dispute underlying the issue. They had assumed that both parties were simply too emotional. It

was clear now that was not the case.

This complicated things.

“If you find this difficult to handle, I can bring the surveillance footage to the city bureau,” Melanie

suggested. She was determined to resolve the matter.

Both officers‘ expressions were solemn. In the end, they said they would verify the situation and left the

office. Immediately after they did, Dylan broke down in tears and repeatedly said, ‘ What have I done

wrong…”

Melanie was immune to her now. Biting her lip, she turned to look at Eugene before thanking him.

Eugene was not directly concerned with this matter. Whether Dylan reconciled with her had little to do

with him. However, he was evidently in her favor.

Eugene’s dark eyes were like deep pools as he looked at Melanie expressionlessly. “I’m just worried

that LeapCo will be targeted again for some random excuse.”

He was talking about the last time LeapCo got dragged into this mess. Melanie’s lashes flickered.

“Regardless, thank you.”

Eugene chuckled, the reason for it vague.

Dylan’s crying was making Melanie’s temples throb. Yvonne whispered in her ear, “Well, your mother’s

spirit is quite something. My head is starting to ache.

“And isn’t that your sister next to her? She’s just staring at her, watching her cry. She doesn’t seem to

be reacting at all.”

Hearing what Yvonne said, Melanie then turned her gaze toward Peachie.

She had not taken a close look at Peachie yet, but now she was noticing just how much thinner she

was than last time. Her hair was dry and messy. There were even several bruise marks on her exposed

arms.

Melanie’s brows furrowed subtly, but before she could think further about it, the police officers returned.
