Chapter 351
“They invited me to Viola’s birthday party.” Yvonne frowned. She was not close with Simon and his gang of friends. She could not understand why he invited her.
Melanie’s forehead puckered. She cared nothing about the others, but Viola was someone she
disliked.
Naturally, she would feel annoyed listening to even her name.
Reny said, “You can choose not to go. No one said you must go, right?”
Yvonne put on a sour face and said, “Someone is forcing me to go. My dad! He’s using this as an opportunity to arrange a blind date for me.”
She scoffed and continued, “I heard Eugene even invited people from Oskon City. It’s just Viola’s birthday party.”
If they investigated it, anyone would know about Melanie, Eugene, and Viola’s story.
Yvonne had long thought of herself as Melanie’s friend.
Melanie thought it was just Yvonne being grumpy about it. After all, Viola’s birthday party had nothing to do with her.
However, something she never expected happened.
Albert moved from the ICU to the regular ward that weekend, and Melanie was packing his stuff.
Just as she fed Albert his dinner, Yvonne’s call came in.
“Mel, are you on leave today?”
“What’s wrong?”
“My car broke down halfway. Can you come over and pick me up?” Yvonne’s voice sounded gloomy. “I’m on the highway to Rown City and can’t hail a taxi. I called the others, but they’re busy.”
Melanie looked at the time and saw that it was already seven at night. This time of the day was the peak hour for traffic. Even if Yvonne was already in Rown City, it would not be easy for her to hail a taxi.
Albert had already fallen asleep. Melanie received Yvonne’s location and headed over to pick her up.
When she arrived, the traffic police and the insurance company’s staff were there. Yvonne felt relieved to see her. “Mel, sorry to trouble you at this hour of the day.”
Melanie said, “It’s okay. Where are you going? I’ll drive you there.”
“Litman Manor. They’re having the party there tonight.”
Melanie froze upon hearing that place. Only then did Yvonne remember Melanie disliked Viola. “You know, it’s my dad who’s forcing me to go. He said he’ll freeze my bank card if I don’t go.”
Litman Manor was the place where Viola’s birthday party was held.

However, it was not in the big hall. They were having it in a small private room.
Even if it was a small venue, the price was costly. Litman Manor was a place that only entertained the rich.
Melanie said nothing and stepped on the accelerator, heading toward Litman Manor. Melanie had just pulled over upon arriving when a car stopped behind her.
Melanie wanted to reverse her car, but several other cars arrived and blocked her way. If she reversed her car, she might cause a jam on that road.
Melanie could only sit in the car and wait for the road to clear so that she could reverse.
Yvonne said, “Mel, you’ll have to wait quite long here. Why don’t you go in with me? We can leave after sitting for a while. After all, I don’t want to stay at that party for long either.”
