Chapter 286
Xander was silent before looking up at Melanie. He nodded.
Melanie nodded back at him but said nothing. Even so, she looked worse than before.
She had no idea if Eugene was doing this on purpose, but she knew him. He had always made sure that he would cover every perspective in his work.
That would mean that he would do everything he could to force Xander and his team to give up on this project.
Everyone in the living room began talking about this project in a dejected manner.
It was almost 12, and Xander forced everyone to take some rest.
Melanie did not leave. She sat without moving and looked at Xander hesitantly. “It’ll be a huge blow to your company if you lose this project.”
Xander was tidying the documents on the table. He paused when he heard Melanie’s words. “It won’t be that serious, but it’ll be beneficial for us to work with this department.”
Melanie understood what he meant. She lowered her eyes. “Will LeapCo affect their decision?”
Xander frowned as he looked at Melanie. An unfathomable look flashed in his usually calm eyes. “It’s their business what LeapCo plans to do, but you shouldn’t be doing anything stupid now. You’ve already left LeapCo.”
He could guess what Melanie wanted to do, and his tone turned grim.
Melanie was silent a while before saying slowly, “I’m just worried about me giving you more trouble.”
Her mind was in a complete mess, and she was worried that Eugene would target Xander
because of her.
Even though Melanie knew that she was not important to Eugene, she was aware that he wanted to humiliate her.
To be honest, she had no idea what she had done to offend Eugene.
Could it be because she had been rude to Viola numerous times?
Melanie pressed her lips at this realization.
There was a storm the next morning, and it rained heavily. The rain showed no sign of stopping.
Melanie checked the weather. It would continue to pour for at least another two to three days.
A thought crossed her mind. She sent a message to Dr. Wells, and he replied very quickly. He informed her that Howard would not be able to leave Jepton so soon because of the weather.
When she got downstairs, Oliver and the rest were busy working on the proposal. Melanie was a little surprised. She thought they would be in despair for a few days because of the exhibition, but they had pulled themselves together so quickly.
Yvonne felt a little worried when she saw Melanie heading out. “Are you going out, Mel? It’s

raining really badly. Why not wait for it to die down a little?”
Melanie looked at the time and shook her head. “I need to head to the hospital.”
She was not going to give up as long as Howard was still in Jepton.
Her grandfather had to be treated.
However, she was just about to head out when Yana called her on the phone.
Yana sounded a little embarrassed. “Can you make a trip to the hospital, Melanie? Your mother is here again.”
Melanie had been too busy to think about Dylan for the last few days. She frowned. “What is she doing at LeapCo?”
“She came to the company early this morning and went straight to see Mr. Scott. I have no idea what’s going on, but I’m worried something might happen. So, I thought I’d call you.”
Dylan went to see Eugene directly?
Melanie frowned. She was extremely frustrated. 1.
The rain was really heavy. When she made a turn at the corner, she did not see the sudden appearance of a railing at the side.
