Chapter 335
Quentin was confident because of this. He was sure that Melanie would never see her reputation falter because she was a proud woman.
He sounded gleeful as he said, “If you feel like investigating this, I have a few more photos with me. You can have them too.”
This was a blatant threat. Melanie looked at Quentin’s hypocritical face, and she felt disgusted by him.
Her fists were clenched below the table, and she asked while she still had reason in her, “Did you take those photos by angling the camera a certain way?”
Quentin raised an eyebrow and poured a glass of wine for Melanie. “Is that important? No one would care about the truth.”
“What do you want?”
Quentin took off his glasses and looked at Melanie happily. He reached out to try and hold Melanie’s hand again. He said in a disgusting manner, “Why must you be so stubborn? You know I’ve always admired you as a competent worker since working at LeapCo.
“Now that Eugene Scott is over you, do you think you’ll have an easy time in the industry?
“He made sure I had nowhere to go, and I heard things ended badly between you.
“Why not be with me? I can bring you into Vanke.”
Quentin was about to touch her again, but Melanie immediately pulled away and stood up.
She looked down at Quentin. “You’re right. No one would care about the truth.”
Quentin looked back at her and praised, “You’re a smart woman.”
However, Melanie said, “But not everyone is stupid.”
She waved her phone and reminded Quentin with disdain. “Your statement is proof enough.”
Quentin realized what just happened, and his carefree smile froze on his face. “You recorded our conversation?”
Melanie looked at her phone and snorted gently. “You’re just as terrible and stupid as before.”
The look on Quentin’s face was dark and sullen. He stared viciously at Melanie as he clenched his teeth. “You bitch. Still playing innocent after being slept with so many times by Mr. Scott?”
He spat out venomous and horrible words while Melanie looked at him like he was garbage.
Her calm and dull character had given others the wrong impression.
Everyone had thought that she was upright and could not lose her pride, which was why they could benefit from her if they played their cards right.
They had probably forgotten that Melanie did not rely on her pride or dignity to achieve her position of chief secretary at LeapCo within two short years.
She had seen everything there was to see–from connections and hypocrisy to underhanded
tactics.

Melanie lowered her eyes to look at her phone. She saved the recording and stored it in her cloud before saying, “Quentin Emerson, you were toxic back at LeapCo, and that probably still hasn’t changed with you joining Vanke.
“Do you think you’re able to do anything you want just because you have a couple of photos?
“Your stupidity is astounding.”
Melanie turned to leave after saying this. However, the moment she touched the door handle, Quentin’s pale face suddenly changed into a vicious and ferocious expression.
“Who do you think you are, Melanie Smith? Didn’t you get to where you were because you seduced Eugene Scott? You’re just a used woman!”
Melanie paused, and she turned back to look at Quentin with a dark look in her eyes. It sent chills down Quentin’s spine. He found himself suddenly unable to speak.
However, he recovered very quickly and he lifted his chin to say, “The day will come when you’ll come to me begging!”
He knew that Melanie was now working with Xander because of the exhibition.
Melanie did not want to waste any more time. She had seen whatever Quentin wanted to show her.
Even though it disgusted her, she could only take things one at a time.
