Chapter 535
Eugene raised his eyebrow slowly as he looked at Viola with his deep, dark eyes.
Viola’s heart thumped, and she soon heard Eugene’s stoic voice. “Was everything you said to Lee true?”
She stopped in her footsteps. There was disappointment in her eyes, but she nodded. obediently. “Yes. Mason told me
everything after he got drunk.”
There was no emotion in Eugene’s deep eyes. He looked calm, and it was difficult to figure out what he was thinking.
Viola gritted her teeth. She wanted to move closer to him. “I can explain what happened, Eugene. Please stop being mad at me.”
Eugene looked up at her. The frosty look in his eyes was apparent. “Why do you think I haven’t sued you yet?”
There was a blank look in Viola’s eyes. “What?”
Eugene flung his pen onto the table. His expression was frosty. “You won’t be able to avoid going to prison if I sue you for leaking
my company’s commercial secrets.”
Viola turned pale. She knew that Eugene was being serious and understood what he meant.
Eugene was keeping her around for the sake of LeapCo.
Viola was delighted when Lee contacted her the other day because she thought that Eugene missed her..
However, when she looked into Eugene’s cold eyes, she realized that Eugene was keeping her here because she was still
useful.
Viola was resentful of this.
She held back the bitterness in her heart and choked back a sob as she said, “How could you be so cruel, Eugene? I’ve been
apologizing to you for the past few days. Why won’t you forgive me?
“Does our relationship mean nothing to you? You used to like me so much.”
Viola had made the effort to dress herself up to look frail and weak. She cried pitifully as she stared at Eugene, hoping that she
could see a glint of tenderness on his face.
There was no such emotion in Eugene’s dark eyes. He did not even bother to give her a second glance.
All he did was say unfeelingly, “Don’t make me say it a second time.”
Viola was crestfallen. There was a blank look on her face as she asked Eugene, “What if it were her? Would you treat her this
way too?”
Eugene’s finger moved slightly. His cold eyes turned back to stare at Viola. It was difficult to figure out his tone. “Do you think you
have any right to question me?”

She left after staying at LeapCo for less than five minutes. The moment she walked out the door, everyone in the company
began talking about it.
Yana’s message arrived right on the dot. [Viola came to the office again today. She was crying when she left. She probably came
to win back Mr. Scott by pretending to be pitiful.]
Melanie read Yana’s message without much emotion.
It was true what people said about squeaky wheels getting the grease.
All it took was for Viola to cry and Eugene would do anything to protect her.
Melanie was reminded of what Stephen had said, and her heart was calm.
Yana sent another message over, but Melanie did not read it. She was sitting in the living room in a daze.
It was not until a glass of water was put in front of her with a soft knock on the table that she snapped out of it.
Melanie looked up and saw Xander. She was taken aback. “What are you doing back here?”
“My brother-in-law is handling things at the hospital, so I came back,” Xander replied. He asked her in return, “What are you
thinking so hard about?”
Melanie looked down and said nothing.
Xander did not force an answer. He got up and said, “You can’t always be burying things inside you. Come to me any time if you
feel like talking.”
Melanie looked up at him. It took her a while before saying, “I met some trouble trying to sue Viola. Someone is stopping me
from suing her.”
