Chapter 668
Howard’s last few words were enunciated so clearly it was as if he were implying
something deeper.
Melanie could not help but glance at him, only to see him sigh and shake his head silently.
Unable to stand it any longer, Gaston reached out and slapped the table. He said loudly,
“Melanie, you’re such an ungrateful daughter. Do you think Howard is doing this for
anyone else? It’s all for you.
“As for his affair in Jepton, do you think we don’t know about it? Howard was genuinely
afraid of you being mistreated, but what did you do? You went with someone else and
even distanced yourself from
him.”
Gaston’s indignation was palpable as he looked at Melanie with anger.
Melanie’s fingers curled slightly while looking back at Howard, her emotions fluctuating.
Howard knew about Viola. It meant that he had gone to Jepton for an investigation.
Whether he had investigated Eugene or her, however, was hard to say.
Gaston sighed again, lamenting to the people around him, “Parents always worry about
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇttheir children, but their worry doesn’t always get repaid.”
His words made it seem like Melanie had done something wrong to Howard. Even the two
women who had shown a bit of sympathy to Melanie exchanged glances and silently
lowered their heads.
Sam also seemed displeased, and the atmosphere of their meal turned sour. However, he
could not say anything to Eugene and Melanie. He could only look at Howard and Gaston
in the corner.
He gently said, “Mr. Smith, the younger generation will do right on their own. You don’t
need to worry too much.”
Howard was caught off guard by Sam’s words and hesitated for a moment before quickly
offering a smile. “You’re right, Mr. Walsh. She’s just my daughter, after all. What parent
lets go of their children
so easily?”
After saying this, he put down his wine glass as if having come to a decision. He looked at
Melanie. He sighed heavily but said nothing, portraying the image of a caring father
perfectly.
With Sam’s intervention, both sides decided to drop the topic. They thought the matter
was settled, but to everyone’s surprise, Matthew suddenly spoke up.
His indifferent gaze fell on Eugene and Melanie as he chuckled softly. “Mr. Scott is indeed
an outstanding man. It’s normal that he would have several people by his side. I heard
that he’s the most sought–after in Jepton.”
Sam expressed some disagreement at that and replied, “What do you mean it’s normal to
have several people? Matthew, Nicole is different from other women.”
There was no sign of nervousness in Matthew’s gaze as he redirected it back. “You’re
overthinking it.

I just find it interesting. Mr. Scott’s former secretary is now with Harvey. We met a couple
of days ago,” he added.
Harvey was well known among those in the Oskon market, and their expressions changed
subtly upon hearing his name.

Matthew then looked at Eugene again. His jet–black hair seemed soft. His eyes, bright as
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmobsidian, were meaningful as he warned him, “Since Mr. Smith loves his daughter so
much, you shouldn’t treat
Miss Smith the same way you treated Miss Shaw, Mr. Scott.”
Melanie only knew Harvey was in charge of Redwaves. She was puzzled by the situation
when she heard Eugene say casually in his deep voice, “You seem to be worrying too
much. LeapCo would like to collaborate with you, but does that mean my private life
should be disclosed too?”
“We’re business partners, after all,” Matthew replied calmly.
Eugene added, “It’s just a business cooperation.”
His words were earnest, and Matthew’s face remained expressionless. Both were evenly
matched, neither giving in to the other.
In the end, Matthew was the first to step back. There was a twitch in his brow and a bright
gleam in his eyes. “You’re right, Mr. Scott. It’s just business cooperation.”
Eugene looked at him expressionlessly and raised his glass.
It was like these two were speaking in riddles. Melanie sat quietly beside them, not
intervening.
Eugene’s reaction was particularly significant when Matthew mentioned Viola.
