Chapter 688
Melanie looked at Eugene. She wanted to find any hint of emotion in his eyes. After all, he
had heard what the policeman said..
However, Eugene’s face betrayed nothing. He met Melanie’s eyes. There was a calm look
in his eyes as if this entire situation had nothing to do with him.
Melanie’s lips moved slightly, but she said nothing. It was after a while that she asked
Eugene, “Did you hear that?”
Eugene drummed his fingers on the table. His dark eyes stared at Melanie for a while.
“Why didn’t you tell me what happened at the hotel?”
When Melanie mentioned her hotel room door being tampered with, she had no idea that
she sounded hesitant and anxious.
Eugene stared at her, and he said in a growl, “This is Oskon City, not Jepton. Don’t you
know what basic safety is?”
He suddenly sounded accusatory, and Melanie was taken aback. She swallowed her
original words.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIt took her a while before retorting to Eugene, “Why should I tell you about it? I don’t think
I need to remind you of your relationship with Viola Shaw.”
She lowered her head after that and scoffed softly. “But I don’t think you’ll have any time
to be concerned about me. Didn’t anyone tell you? Quentin Emerson has admitted that
Viola was involved with what he did.
“Justice will always prevail,” Melanie repeated the slogan on a promotional poster that was
on the wall behind Eugene.
She looked at Eugene when she uttered the last part. The look in her eyes was calm, but it
was clear that she was judging Eugene while looking at him.
Melanie observed him while saying this. He could tolerate and protect Viola when they
were back at Jepton.
However, this was
Jepton.
What was Eugene able to do to save Viola here?
She did not hide her judgmental look when staring at Eugene. Lee looked concerned when
he noticed it. He hesitated before saying, “Melanie, it was because Mr. Scott…”
“Lee,” Eugene interrupted him coldly with his crisp voice. Lee looked at Eugene but said
nothing in the end.
Chapter 688
2/2
After getting to the bottom of this, it was confirmed that Viola was the one responsible for
everything that had happened to Melanie in Oskon City.
Hugh stood next to Melanie. He straightened up and glanced at Eugene from the corners
of his eyes before asking, “Is there anything else required of Melanie? If not, I need to take
her to dinner.”
“There’s nothing for now. We’ll be done after we record the statement. We’ll contact you if
we need anything else.”
Hugh nodded. He looked at Melanie and took off his hat. He put it on her head and said
earnestly, “It’s windy out there. You shouldn’t catch a cold.”
Melanie grunted a thanks. She left with Hugh after giving her statement to the police.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWhen they got to the entrance, she stopped and turned back to look deeply at Eugene.
Eugene did not move. He watched silently as Melanie left with Hugh. He could not tear
away his eyes from the direction.
“Mr. Scott.” Lee noticed the look on his face and hesitated before continuing, Why didn’t
you tell Melanie that you’ve been protecting Viola because of LeapCo’s classified
information? Quentin Emerson admitted to Viola’s involvement because of…”
Eugene frowned subtly and turned his gaze away slowly. He said stoically, ” What’s the
point of telling her about it?”
Lee replied, “Melanie doesn’t know the truth.”
“She doesn’t need to know about it,” Eugene said in a low voice. He left the office with
Lee. It was windy outside, and it hurt to feel the sharp wind on his face.
Eugene looked at the huge billboard shining on the tall building outside. There was a glint
of emotion in his eyes as he suppressed the feeling inside him.
He asked Lee, “Is there any news from the headquarters? Are they still unhappy with me?”
