“Why would we benefit you instead?”
Their rejection did not surprise Quentin. He had a trump card and knew he could win this negotiation
He said calmly, “Fairness doesn’t exist in this world. Those who are strong will get what they want. This is how the world works.
“Melanie, you know this better than anyone else. This world is unfair.”
When he said this, his gaze on Melanie was no longer as lecherous as just now. Instead, he looked at her sarcastically and maliciously.
The negotiation ended unhappily. However, they could see Quentin had been prepared for it.
Lisa didn’t leave with Quentin. She didn’t say much the whole time, but after Quentin left, she looked at Melanie with a complicated gaze. “If you agree to cooperate this time, maybe things will be better for you.
“I heard Mr. Emerson say they had looked for someone with a higher position. Many things were involved this time. Maybe you should give in.”
Melanie’s expression turned cold, and she looked at Lisa. “Did Quentin ask you to say this to us?”
Lisa froze and smiled bitterly as she explained, “Of course not. I just want to tell you both that it’s pointless trying to struggle and fight against a bigger force.”
Then, she walked away. Melanie stared at her as she left with an expressionless face.
Xander had the same cold expression. Scoffing, he said to Melanie, “What an interesting manager.”
His words were sarcastic and not meant to be praise for Quentin.
Melanie pondered before asking Xander, “What do you have in mind?”
Xander lifted his eyebrow and looked at Melanie as he asked indifferently, “What about you?”
Melanie brushed her fingers on the table and said calmly, “There’s nothing to be afraid of.”
She had been working in LeapCo for years and had cooperated with many clients.
If she gave in just because of what Quentin said, her years of work experience would go to
waste.
Xander had a faint smile on his face as he looked at Melanie and agreed. “What a coincidence. I have the same thought in mind.”
After discussing her thoughts and plan with Xander, Melanie returned to the North district.
She had cleaned almost every part of the house and could move her things anytime.
When she drove there, she happened to encounter someone repairing the streetlights.
When they saw Melanie, they reminded her out of kindness, “This is an old residential area, and most residents are old people. Moreover, the streetlights always break down.

“That’s why robbers and thugs like to wander in this area. If you encounter any danger, call us or the police. Don’t ever try to deal with them alone.”
Then, they left after giving Melanie their phone number.
Melanie had decided to bring Albert back to this house if he got discharged.
She would be less busy and could look after Albert herself.
Maybe in a familiar environment, Albert could recover quicker than expected.
However, she had forgotten something.
Things might not got according to plan or expectations.
