Chapter 260
Melanie had the blanket in her arms as she stood there. “I wanted to help, but I dozed off.” Xander said indifferently, “It’s nothing urgent anyway.”
Melanie realized why Xander agreed to let her organize the documents when she got up.
Even Reny noticed her condition, yet Xander arranged for her to work without hesitating.
He just wanted to divert her attention, thinking it might help her relax a little.
Melanie looked at Xander sincerely and said, “Xander, thank you very much.”
Xander froze, and his beautiful brows furrowed slightly before he calmly said, “You don’t have to thank me.”
Maybe because she had taken a nap, she was feeling less troubled now. She smiled and asked, ” Do you mind it because you think I’m rejecting your kindness?”
Xander lifted his brow and said, “That’s not what I want to see.”
There were many new toiletries in the mansion. Melanie washed up before she headed upstairs. The guest room was spacious, and Reny was already asleep. She even prepared an extra blanket for Melanie.
Maybe because drowsiness had taken over her again, Melanie’s mind was empty, and she dozed off as soon as she lay on the bed.
She slept soundly and was woken up by the alarm the next day.
Reny was not in the room, and she could see from the gap of the curtain that it was already bright outside.

The phone rang, and Melanie answered it. A middle–aged man’s voice sounded from the other end of the call. “Is this Miss Melanie Smith? We’re the movers, and we want to ask you still want to keep the furniture.”
Melanie’s expression turned cold. It was Stella’s doing again.
Her grandparents‘ stuff was still in the house. Melanie feared those things would go missing and brought them back from the nursing home.
She said, “If you move my stuff without my acknowledgment, it’s no different from stealing it.”
“Miss Smith, please don’t make things difficult for us. We’re just doing our job. Why don’t you come over and take a look? If there’s anything you want to keep, we can leave it untouched.”
When Melanie headed downstairs, only Xander was there. He was drawing on his tablet.
Melanie approached him and said, “Xander, I have something to deal with and have to go back for a while.”
Xander looked at her and nodded before putting down the tablet.
“Where are you going?”

Melanie said, “Mrs. Scott sent the movers to my place, and I still have some valuable stuff inside.”
Xander scoffed. “The Scott family is indeed powerful.”
His sarcasm was obvious, yet Melanie said nothing about it.
The Scott family was powerful, which was why Stella was so ruthless.
However…
Melanie looked at the ground. Eugene might have already silently agreed to Stella’s actions.
After all, Eugene was a man who cared most about privacy. Even Cedric and Stella were rarely allowed to meddle in his affairs.
Not to mention meddling with his assets.
However, Melanie could not understand why he was in such a hurry to kick her out.
When Melanie and Xander arrived, the movers were waiting at the door. They opened the door when they saw Melanie.
“Miss Smith, please check if there’s anything you want to take with you. We haven’t touched a single thing in the house yet.”
The staff looked at the time. “However, we hope you can be quick as we have to finish our job here before two in the afternoon and let the new tenant move in.”
