In the hospital corridor, people were coming and going. Viola opened her mouth as if wanting to say

something, but upon seeing Eugene’s expressionless face, she felt an instinctive fear pierce through

her.

She had never seen Eugene so angry before. The intense cold aura surrounding him kept everyone at

bay. However, when she thought about what Melanie had just said, her heart tightened. She gritted her

teeth and called out to him.

However, Eugene’s face remained stern. His sharp gaze suddenly turned toward her. Viola’s words got

stuck in her throat.

After a moment, she dryly said, “Don’t be angry.”

The sharpness in Eugene’s eyes did not reduce in the slightest. He just nodded gracefully and replied

heavily, “The doctor asked you to go for a CT scan. Go.”

Facing Eugene’s gaze, Viola felt as if her heart was suspended in midair. She did not dare say anything

and just went for the scan.

After she left, Theodore hesitated to look at Eugene, who eventually snapped at him, “If you have

something to say, then say it.”

“Don’t you think what you said to Melanie just now was a bit too harsh? She was injured too. I saw her

cradling her arm the entire time. It must’ve hurt. You were so harsh. After all, she’s just a lady-”

Before he could finish, Eugene’s cold and stern voice cut him off, “Are you feeling sorry for her?”

Theodore waved his hands repeatedly. “No, I’m just speaking the truth.”

“No one needs your version of the truth.”

Eugene’s expression was cold and stern, his black eyes exuding a chilly air. His tightly pressed lips

revealed the extent of his bad mood.

The results from the police came out that evening. The group of people were troublemakers from

Hearth City and were on good terms with George. One of them had won a few thousand dollars from

George in a game of cards, but George had not paid up.

When they called to remind him about it, George claimed that his daughter in Jepton had a lot of

money and that her boyfriend owned a company. He told them to find his daughter if they needed

money and that they could ask for as much as they wanted.

These people were usually jobless and engaged in petty crimes. Now that they had a legitimate reason

to extort money, of course, they seized the opportunity. Armed with the information provided by

George, they camped outside the LeapCo branch office every day.

When they saw Melanie, they immediately recognized her and decided to take advantage of the

situation to intimidate her.

The truth was revealed, and there was a subtle look on Theodore’s face when he said, Eugene, you

went too far this time. Melanie was also a victim, and you misunderstood her. No wonder she was

driven to tears.”

He did not mention Viola, but her face had already turned pale.

Eugene remained silent, his gaze lowered as if he was lost in thought. His sealed lips and stoic

demeanor revealed a lack of emotion.

Meanwhile, Melanie was unaware of what was happening on their end. She was already on the plane

back to Jepton. Upon returning to the hotel earlier, she booked the earliest flight back to Jepton.

When she arrived at Jepton Airport, it was already past ten o’clock. As soon as she stepped out the

gates, she saw Yvonne waiting for her. When Yvonne spotted her, she waved and called out to her,

“Over here.”

Melanie lugged her suitcase as she made her way over. Her mood was still low, but her face was

covered with makeup, hiding all signs of it.

“You picked a good time to come back. It’s Reny’s birthday today. She was telling me this morning how

she wished you were here,” Yvonne said. “Since you’ve just arrived, we might still catch the tail end of

the celebration.”

Melanie had intended to go home and rest, but upon hearing that today was Reny’s birthday, she

decided to follow Yvonne to the villa.

At the villa, everyone was still awake. There was a cake on the table, and when Reny saw Melanie, her

eyes lit up. “Come on! I haven’t cut the cake yet. We’ve been waiting for you. I just talked to the boss

on the phone, and he’ll be back soon too.”
