Chapter 314
Melanie was taken aback as she did not hear any news about Stella falling ill.
However, she was only surprised for a second. Stella’s matter had nothing to do with her.
When Stella saw Melanie, she looked at her in disdain as she sneered. “You sure are capable. I heard your grandfather is admitted here. You knew we were coming. Is that why you
abandoned your grandfather and came here?”
Melanie glanced at Stella indifferently and ignored her mockery.
She was worried about Albert’s surgery and did not want to waste her time quarreling with Stella over such a petty thing.
However, Stella’s anger shot through her upon being ignored.
She slammed the form she was filling on the table, looked at Melanie with despise, and said, Why are you still pretending?
((
“Didn’t you ask for Eugene’s help to get his uncle to do the surgery? I don’t know what shameless trick you used, but since you’ve benefited from it, stop pretending to be righteous.
“Are you trying to get us to reward you?”
Stella had always been arrogant as she was from the upper class. She cared most about etiquette, yet her words were merciless and hurtful.
Melanie lifted her eyebrows and looked at Stella coldly. “Mrs. Scott, please mind your words or your reputation will be ruined and you might have to pay the price.”
The wealthy believed in doing good deeds more than others. Melanie had driven Stella to the church several times a week.
Stella froze, and her face was ashen.
Staring at Melanie, she said with gritted teeth, “We’ll see who will pay the price.”
Melanie snorted coldly and handed the things she was holding to the nurse.
Stella was brought up in a wealthy family. She might be bad–tempered, but she would not throw her tantrums in public.
When she said those words to Melanie, she had spoken in a low voice.
Their conversation was quick, and others did not hear it.
After Melanie registered Albert’s name and prepared to leave, she heard Stella calling out arrogantly, “Stand there.‘
Melanie turned around and said, “Yes?”
Stella lifted her chin and sounded like she was ordering Melanie when she said, “Send my things to the ward.”
Beside her was a suitcase. Melanie glanced at it and lifted her head. “Mrs. Scott, I’m no longer an employee at LeapCo. You don’t have the right to order me around anymore.”
“Melanie, don’t push it! If it weren’t for Eugene…”
Melanie snapped, “Eugene is the one who helped me and not you, Mrs. Scott.”
Then, she noticed the person approaching Stella from behind.
Eugene was tall, and he had his phone in his hand. He hung up the call he had just made and. looked at Melanie expressionlessly.
When Melanie’s eyes met his, she turned around and left.
She headed back to the operating room.
It was an important day for Albert, and she did not have to waste time on such matters.
Stella looked at Melanie’s departing back before she glared at Eugene sarcastically. “Are you satisfied now?”
Eugene did not know what just happened. He pondered for a while before asking in his deep voice, “What should I be satisfied about?”
Stella’s gaze grew colder, yet she said nothing more and took the documents she just filled to her ward.
Walking past Eugene, she said, “You know what I’m talking about!”
