Chapter 471
Eugene’s words were sharp. Melanie pursed her lips and did not respond. The items Eugene’s
grandfather had given her were worth no less than five figures even if they were just trinkets.
Moreover, among them was a bracelet. Melanie was unsure if Eugene still remembered it.
It was the year when Henry Scott’s health took a sudden turn for the worse. Eugene had brought
Melanie with him to visit Henry, who took out a bracelet in front of Eugene. He said that it was left by
Eugene’s grandmother for their future granddaughter–in–law.
Afraid that he would not live to see their marriage, he gave it to Melanie. Melanie hesitated to accept it,
but Eugene took it for her.
Melanie had been keeping the bracelet well. This time, she remembered to take it out when she was
sorting out the things that she needed to return to Henry. She was not his granddaughter–in–law, so it

Holding onto the box, Melanie did not want to argue with Eugene about this matter. She was just
worried about hurting Henry’s feelings. However, keeping these items made her feel uncomfortable.
“I’ll find a chance to return the things to him myself,” she said softly.
A cold sneer escaped from Eugene’s throat. His dark and brooding gaze showed no trace of emotion,
and his jawline was tense.
Henry was staying at the Scott family’s residence. Knowing that Melanie and Stella had a strained
relationship, he suggested meeting at a private restaurant. He was already waiting for them at the
restaurant when they arrived.
The old man waved kindly upon seeing Eugene and Melanie. “Mel, come over and have a seat.”
His greeting caught her off guard but then she asked, “Mr. Henry, are you feeling well?”
Henry took a gift bag from the caregiver beside him and handed it to Melanie. His hair was already fully
white. There was a smile on his face. “Look at the gift I brought you. When I saw this, I immediately
thought of you.”
Inside the bag was a pair of exquisite jewelry of excellent quality.
Melanie hesitated. “Mr. Henry, it’s too valuable. I can’t possibly accept this.”
“It doesn’t matter how valuable it is, it’s for you. I’m willing to give you even more valuable items,”
Henry said with a smile.
After saying that, he looked at Eugene beside him and said with some dissatisfaction, “I can’t say the
same for him, though.”
Melanie pretended not to hear Henry’s words and pushed the bag back, saying firmly, “Mr. Henry, this
is really too much. I can’t accept it.”
The smile on the old man’s face faded, and he sighed. He then glared at Eugene. “It’s all because of
you, wretched/boy. Now Mel and I aren’t close anymore.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmEugene remained expressionless as he asked indifferently, “What does it have to do with me?”
Henry furrowed his eyebrows. He looked as if he wanted to scold Eugene, but he held back.
Melanie had to be more gentle with Henry and said softly, “As long as you’re okay, the rest doesn’t
matter.”
The moment she said that, she felt Eugene looking at her beside her.
The gaze was subtle, but it probably was not a good sign. Melanie pretended not to notice.
Henry’s eyes moved back and forth between the two before he suddenly sighed deeply. Melanie
frowned. “What’s the matter?”
‘Nothing, I just find it a bit regretful,” Henry said with a wave of his hand. He looked at Melanie
affectionately and said, “This stubborn brat of mine is not fortunate enough.”
Henry kept steering the conversation toward Melanie and Eugene today. Melanie’s eyes darkened
slightly, but she pressed her lips together and said nothing.
