Chapter 696
That deep and magnetic voice spoke up from behind her. “Be careful.”
Eugene wrapped one arm around her shoulder and pulled her back gently. It was only then
that Melanie realized that Howard had dragged her to a small flight of steps, and there
was a gap in the step right in front of her.
If she had taken another step forward, she would have definitely lost her footing and
fallen.
Melanie looked at the gap, her face cold and stormy. It was obvious that Howard had done
this on
purpose.
After all, there were plenty of other places where they could have gone down the stairs,
but he just had to bring her here.
Everyone else passing by consciously avoided this gap.
Howard suddenly saw the change in Melanie’s gaze. Although his expression did not
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtchange, there was a hint of guilt in his eyes.
Despite that, he still forced himself to look dignified. He looked at Eugene and coughed
softly. “Mr. Scott, what a coincidence. I’m here to pick up Mel.”
He could barely keep up his mask of composure. After all, he had previously announced
that Eugene was his son–in–law, only for it to turn out to be a misunderstanding.
He then thought about how he had scolded Eugene for no reason in order to stand up for
Melanie, drawing his ire. With that in mind, his feelings of guilt toward Melanie were
replaced by anger.
He barked at Melanie angrily, “Don’t make me repeat myself. I’m telling you, if you insist
on giving birth to this bastard, don’t expect me to acknowledge it as my grandchild!”
Melanie looked at him with nothing but contempt. Howard’s self–righteousness astounded
her.
He had ignored her for more than ten years, and now he was threatening to disown her
child?
Melanie’s voice was trembling slightly. She was truly furious at Howard’s shamelessness.
She clenched her fists and asked Howard sarcastically, “Why do I need you to
acknowledge my child? You don’t even qualify as a father, much less a grandfather.”
Melanie stared straight at Howard without backing down at all. “Do you really think you’re
worthy of being in our lives?”
She was blatantly challenging Howard’s authority as her father. Furious, he raised his hand
to hit her.
Melanie’s eyes narrowed, but an arm got in between her and her father. There was a
sapphire cufflink on the sleeve. The fingers were long and slender, and the joints were
well–defined. Faint veins could be seen under the thin skin.

Re
Eugene put his hand in front of Melanie to shield her. His sharp gaze fell on Howard’s face.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmEugene was taller than Howard to begin with, and his gaze carried an enormous weight.
His voices also very authoritative. “Shouldn’t you change your habit of hitting people?”
Howard took a step back as if he was a little afraid. He glanced at Eugene and then
quickly looked
away.
Melanie stood behind Eugene. When Eugene reached out to shield her with one arm, he
used his offer hand to pull her back behind him.
Looking at Howard now, she felt a throbbing pain in her head.
“Melanie, if you don’t listen to me now, you’ll regret it sooner or later. It’ll be too late by
then!” Howard could not withstand the pressure Eugene exerted on him, so he focused on
Melanie instead.
He gritted his teeth and looked at Eugene standing in front of Melanie. Suddenly, he
narrowed his eyes and said, “Melanie, why do you think I’m doing this? If your baby is Mr.
Scott’s, I’ll give you anything you want! Anything!”
After saying that, he looked at Melanie expectantly, as if he was still holding on to one last
bit of hope. He wanted Melanie to tell him that she was actually with Eugene.
