Viola's lawyer is from Oskon City and is reputed to have handled many exoneration cases before. He's quite famous.” Melanie paused when she heard ‘Oskon City’ being mentioned. She remembered the settlement. agreement at the police station. Her eyes flickered slightly as she pressed her lips together. She buried herself in her thoughts.

Stephen could not say much more either and could only remind Melanie to be careful. He seemed busy on his end and ended the call shortly after.

Melanie stood still silently. She then turned and went into the bathroom.

The Jepton police called early the next morning, informing Melanie of the situation and urging her to return to Jepton as soon as possible.

Aside from the issue with Viola, there was also Dylan. Word had it that she was not in the best mental state now and would occasionally curse George out of the blue before breaking down in tears.

Melanie did not react much to the news and just casually replied to the officer with a few words.

Melanie hesitated, thinking about what she should do about Hugh when he said indifferently, “My mentor’s family is having sissues. | need to go back immediately.” Chapter 716 2/2 Behind him was a packed suitcase. Melanie nodded as she glanced at it. “I'll go with you.” Hugh looked at her strangely. “My injury isn’t your fault. You don’t need to be so diligent about taking care of me.

“If someone sees us together, it might lead to misunderstandings,” he added belatedly.

Melanie did not understand Hugh's thought process but did not want to explain herself either. She packed her luggage, bought the earliest flight ticket, and headed to the airport.

She did not expect to run into Henry in the hotel lobby.

“That's perfect. Eugene was just about to taketo the airport. We can go together.” Hearing his words, Melanie looked up and saw Eugene standing there with a cold expression on his face.

His gaze fell on Melanie's suitcase, his eyebrows furrowing slightly. Before he could speak, Melanie replied, “It's alright, Mr. Henry. Eugene can take you there by himself.” After saying that, she glanced at Hugh beside her and added, “It won't be convenient for him.”
