Chapter 449
Melanie frowned and said, “It wasn’t easy for Viola to get some leverage over on me. She won’t give up
so easily. Instead of letting her cause trouble for no reason, why don’t we lay the situation out for
ourselves and talk to Eugene first?”
Oliver agreed. “We should seize the initiative from her before she stabs us in the back again.” Xander
did not say anything. His eyes were lowered as if he was thinking about something. Melanie thought for
a moment and said softly, “If we can’t reach an agreement, I’ll come back.
Xander looked up and said in a low voice, “Call me if you need anything.”
Xander had an appointment with someone today. He did not stay long before he was called away.
Meanwhile, Melanie told Oliver to take care of things and took a taxi to LeapCo.
She knew in her heart that no matter what the outcome was, they needed Eugene to put his foot down
and come to a conclusion. Otherwise, the incident with Viola today would probably happen again.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhen Melanie arrived at LeapCo, she bumped into Yana in the elevator. Yana was surprised to see
her. “Melanie, why are you here?”
It was obvious that something was up. Melanie asked, “What’s wrong?

“Mr. Scott’s mother is at the office. For some reason, Viola is late today. She just caught her and now
she’s berating her upstairs. Mr. Scott has something on, so he’s not at the office right now. No one
dares to go upstairs.”
Yana sounded pleased when she said that. Melanie’s eyebrows twitched. It seemed that Viola’s visit to
Burning Star really was her own idea.
If Stella was there, though, there was no need for her to go up. After all, she never had a pleasant time
whenever she met up with Stella.
Unfortunately for her, Melanie bumped into Stella and Viola the moment the elevator door opened.
Stella’s makeup was majestic as usual, but there was an obvious dark cloud in her expression. Viola
stood behind her, looking defeated and timid.
Stella did not expect the elevator to open so suddenly. She frowned and looked over. When she saw
Melanie, the anger on her face intensified.
Her voice was sharp as she asked, “What are you doing at LeapCo again?”
Yana tugged at Melanie’s clothes awkwardly. Then, she took her documents and slipped away. Melanie
was unfazed by Stella’s anger. She had seen Stella like this too many times.
Her voice was cold. “I’m here to talk about work.”
“What work do you have to talk about?” Stella sneered and raised her eyebrows, her face full of
contempt. “I heard that you’re working with Xander Solomon and setting up a small studio now! Are you
begging people everywhere for business every day?”

“Melanie, look carefully. This is your natural place in life. Don’t get ideas above your station. A peasant
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmlike you will never reach our level!”
Melanie looked at Stella in silence. Stella was always insulting her like that, calling a peasant or a
broke bumpkin. In a way, she was not very creative with her insults.
Melanie said nothing. Arguing with Stella was a very unwise thing to do. It would only be a waste of
time.
Viola’s face was pale when she saw how calm Melanie was. She had this burning urge to trip her up.
“Melanie, if I remember correctly, you don’t have an appointment, right? Not everyone can enter Mr.
Scott’s office at will.”
She had thought that Stella would be on her side at this point. Stella detested Melanie, after all.
However, Stella turned around coldly when she heard her words. “And what are you pretending for?
Not everyone can enter Eugene’s office, huh? Are you saying I have to report to you when I visit my
son?”
