Chapter 642
It was only when she arrived at Howard’s private room that Melanie realized that Howard
was not the only one there. There were a few other men at the table with him, and they all
seemed to be close to
Howard.
After Melanie and Eugene entered the room, one of the men in a floral shirt instantly
shouted, ” Damn! Hey, Howard, your daughter is really amazing. She’s actually dating
Eugene Scott! I’ve never heard you mention it before. Why are you so low–key?”
Howard sat back in his seat with a faint smile on his face. He waved his hand
nonchalantly, “What would I know about the younglings‘ affairs? Mel only brought Mr.
Scott to Oskon Cityv recently, That’s when I found out about their relationship.”
He finally remembered to ask Melanie and Eugene to take a seat. Pointing at the seat
beside him, he said, “Come, Mel, sit here. You too, Eugene. Come and have a drink with
me.”
Melanie looked at his nonchalant expression and frowned. No matter how uncomfortable
she felt, she could only endure it for now.
It was as Eugene said. If they offended Howard today, their reputation would ruined
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtthroughout Oskon City tomorrow. People in the business circle could never keep secrets.
To make things worse, it was her and Eugene’s first time in Oskon City. They should not
start off on the wrong foot.
Melanie and Eugene sat down in turn.
Howard’s expression softened even more. He sighed and poured a drink for Melanie. He
sighed and said, “Mel, I’m sorry for everything that happened before. I was so angry,
that’s why I lost my temper at you. But ask Larry and Gaston over here! Ever since then,
I’ve missed you dearly.
“I really have my reasons for not returning to Jepton. I came to Oskon City to work alone
without anything but the clothes on my back. It wasn’t easy for me either! I really missed
you, but I couldn’t
leave!”
Howard played the part of heartbroken father as soon as Melanie and Eugene arrived. He
held Melanie’s hand and said, “I’ll make it up to you, I promise. I’ll give you whatever you
want, okay? Just
don’t be mad with me anymore…
Melanie frowned and tried to pull her hand away, but Howard’s grip was so tight that her
wrist hurt.
When the two men beside Melanie saw this little scene, they sighed and lamented about
Howard’s tough life over the past few years. In the end, they waved their hands and said,
“Every parents loves their children. Don’t harp onto the past and just forgive him already!
You can get along from now on.”
Howard sighed again.
Melanie was in no hurry to pull her hand back. She watched Howard put on the pantomime
with his friends, her eyes cold and amused.

She wanted to hear what other excuses he could come up with.
However, Howard knew when to stop. After “convincing” Melanie, he turned his gaze to
Eugene and put on a knowing smile. He pondered for a moment before saying, “Since
we’re family now, I won’t hold back with you. Eugene, I’m actually very dissatisfied with
your actions thus far.”
The air at the table instantly froze. Eugene looked up at Howard, his attitude unchanged.
“Is that so?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Mel is my daughter. Although I haven’t been by her side all these years, I know what a
wonderful and lovely girl she is. You may be rich and powerful, but you haven’t been good
enough to her.”
Eugene stopped what he was doing. He raised his eyebrows imperceptibly and glanced at
Howard. Finally, his gaze met Melanie’s for a moment.
He asked Howard quietly, “Why do you say that I’m not treating her well enough?”
Howard’s expression instantly turned serious. He looked straight at Eugene and said in a
low voice, Mel is pregnant now. If you were good to her, why did you let her come all the
way to Oskon City?”
He looked at Eugene very solemnly. “I’m sure you have more than enough properties in
Jepton to have her settle there.”
His words were so subtle that Melanie could not help but laugh to herself.
See? Howard pretended to care about her, but he was actually testing Eugene.
Melanie turned her gaze to Eugene and was about to tell him to leave when Eugene asked
in return, So all I have to do is let her rest in Jepton? Is that what you mean by treating her
right?”
