“It’s nothing, actually. I just wanted to explain what happened the first time I met you and Xander.
“I was actually just stopping by my house to arrange a meeting with Eugene. At that time, I thought he was quite handsome. It’d be good to have such a person to do business with my family.”
Yvonne looked at Melanie’s face as she spoke. She was not stupid. After noticing something was wrong between Melanie, Eugene, and Simon, she went back to ask her friends about what was going on.
They were all part of the same circle, after all. They knew some things.
When Yvonne found out what had happened between Melanie and Eugene, she said nothing in particular despite her surprise. She thought Melanie was a nice person and hoped Xander would be able to gain some momentum with her.
However, Yvonne was the blunt type and not someone who could not keep something hidden. She had been wanting to explain things to Melanie.
It was not because of anything else. She had once asked Melanie if Eugene was keeping her around like some mistress. That was when she had still been in the dark, and her words were rather hurtful. That was why she had been wanting to apologize to Melanie.
After hearing what she said, Melanie just nodded. “Eugene would be the type that the elders like.”
She did not mean anything else by that. She was just saying what she thought. Eugene was indeed outstanding among the younger generation.
It was why Stella did not take kindly to her and Eugene being together. She had always wanted to find a woman who matched well with Eugene, like Yvonne. Yvonne pouted. “You’re the only one who thinks he’s good.”
