Chapter 866

It was highly likely that Melanie had found out Eugene was the one renting the house.

Eugene let out a sigh and glanced sideways out the window. The sunlight was bright, almost blinding.

Melanie stayed until the evening before heading back. She had no plans of asking Eugene what was going on.

What did it have to do with her if he was willing to spend money and pretend to be a kind person behind her

back in an attempt to persuade her? She would not be losing

anything.

She originally planned to buy spastries from a nearby century-old bakery but unexpectedly ran into William.

Accompanying William was an elderly lady with graying hair. Melanie's brows furrowed, and she instinctively

wanted to turn away.

However, William noticed her before she could and smiled, greeting her, “Miss Smith, what a coincidence.”

“Not really. It seems | should've left a few minutes later,” Melanie replied.

William did not mind her rejection but instead smiled and said a few words to the elderly lady. He then said to

Melanie, “You don’t need to be so hostile toward me, Miss Smith. | just work at

LeapCo.”

“Mr. Thames, you misunderstand. | just don’t like interacting with strangers much.”

The smile on William's face almost faltered. He glanced at Merry and remarked, “This is your daughter with

Eugene, right?”

Melanie's expression turned cold, and she remained silent.

His smile grew even broader. “She’s very cute, and she looks a lot like Eugene. No wonder he’s willing to

confront the chairman for you two. If | had such a cute daughter, | wouldn't bear to see her suffer even a bit

either.”

Melanie felt repulsed by William's hypocrisy. He was an illegitimate child. His mother’s

feelings were definitely not the only thing that blinded Cedric and made him irrational enough to clash with both

Stella and Eugene.

Exhausted from dealing with him, Melanie made up an excuse and left with Meredith. William was someone she

could not deal with.

Behind her, William watched as Melanie left with the child. A hint of mockery flashed in his eyes. He composed

himself and turned to his grandmother, accompanying her to buy some

pastries.

William’s grandmother sighed. “Your mother loved this shop's cakes the most. When you visit her tomorrow,

bring sfor her. I'm getting old. | don’t know how many more times | can go see her. You must remember

these things.”

The mask on William's face dropped, replaced by solemnity. “I know.’

“Your mother has had a difficult life.”

“Those who have wronged her will face the consequences,” William vowed.

He glanced in the direction Melanie had left, his eyes deep with contemplation. His intentions were unclear.

The next day, Cedric received news that Eugene had secretly approached a partner of the headquarters. He

exploded in anger. “He’s gone too far! He's even learned to undermine me!”

Equally surprised, William said, “What does Eugene intend to do? He knows we're in the

middle of negotiating a contract renewal with Ms. Turner. If he takes Mr. Xan away now, what about the gap at

headquarters?”

“Hmph! He's not that strong yet! He's just relying on the Hel family’s influence to challenge

me.”

Cedric’s eyes were full of hostility. He could not stand being outmaneuvered by Eugene! A son? He had no son as

reckless as Eugene!

Cedric turned to William and ordered, “Inform Casey that there's no need to show Eugene any mercy anymore.

Since he dares to schagainst me, he should be prepared for the consequences!”

William hesitated. “Isn’t that too harsh? He's your son. You should also consider your granddaughter. He may be

ruthless, but perhaps he has good reason for his behavior. After all, he has to raise a daughter now.”
