Chapter 548
Xander did not want to listen to Liana’s nonsense. He silently put down the things they bought and
turned to Melanie, ready to leave.
However, Melanie’s phone rang suddenly. She nodded at Xander and turned to answer the call.
The call was from Stephen. “Mel, the charges have been filed based on the other piece of evidence you
submitted earlier.”
Melanie’s eyes hardened. “What’s the situation now?”
“Quentin has been called in for questioning. After that, it’s up to the investigators. Maybe Quentin himself can put Viola on the
stand.”
“Once that happens, you just have to submit the evidence you have, and it’ll be much smoother sailing from then on.”
Stephen’s words finally lightened Melanie’s mood.
After finding out that Viola’s evidence was flawed and that Eugene was helping her from the
Carlton had reminded her that Viola was not the only one involved in the whole thing. Quentin was
just as guilty..
Viola had Eugene’s protection, but Quentin might not.
Melanie had asked Stephen to help her retrieve the surveillance footage from the hotel corridor before pressing charges against
Quentin.
If they pressed Quentin hard enough, they might get him to spill everything.
Unbeknownst to Melanie, Liana stopped smiling as soon as she left the room. Liana asked her brother solemnly, “Tell me the
truth. Mel used to date that Scott jerk, didn’t she?”
Xander’s expression froze, and Liana smirked. “Did you think I wouldn’t know if you didn’t tell me? I advise you to come clean
with me, Xander.”
A mixture of emotions flashed across Xander’s face, and his eyebrows twitched. In the end, he
admitted it. “Yes, but that was in the past.’
Liana stared at him for a long time before she suddenly clicked her tongue. “Xander, listen to me. I’ve met Eugene Scott before.
“If you can’t even beat him, I’ll be ashamed to call you my brother.”
Xander looked at Liana blankly.
Liana rolled her eyes at him. “I guess you’re pretty much the same. You’re just as dense.”
When Melanie returned to the ward, the atmosphere in the room was strange.

When Liana saw her, she plastered on her smile again, saying happily, “Mel, I’ll take you for a race once I get better, okay?”
Almost every time he left Liana’s room, Xander would feel a little down in the dumps. He looked at Melanie, and Liana’s words
flashed through his mind. “Do you like racing?”
Melanie blinked, confused. “I’ve never tried.”
Xander pursed his lips. “Me neither.”
Melanie was still in a daze when she followed Xander to the racing arena. Xander took her around with an air of familiarity
without saying anything.
Melanie looked at him, not bothering to hide the doubt in her eyes. “Are you familiar with this place?”
Xander’s tone was casual. “Liana and I used to hang out here together.”
When he said this, he raised his eyebrows and smiled. His face immediately looked brighter and more youthful.
Melanie smiled back and was about to speak when a wave of nausea hit her.
She frowned and subconsciously raised her hand to cover her mouth. The next second, she gagged.
