Chapter 360
Melanie had done a lot of research on LeapCo and Blue Inc’s collaboration. She immediately came to terms with that fact after a moment’s shock.
Xander told her, “Communications with LeapCo can be handled by Reny or Oliver. You don’t have to be involved.”
Melanie answered, “Didn’t we agree previously that I’d be in charge of speaking to these companies?”
She sounded calm. “Besides, it’s just a couple of contracts that need signing. It’s not like they’ll be involved in the design process.”
LeapCo was one of the event’s sponsors.
Melanie had prepped herself mentally, but she had not been expecting to receive a phone call from LeapCo’s person in charge. They invited her over to discuss the contract details.
It was a work–related matter, so Melanie had no choice but to go.
However, she ended up bumping into Eugene and Bernard.
As Melanie waited for the elevator to arrive on the first floor, she looked at her phone and read the messages that had come in.
When the doors opened, she looked up and saw Eugene standing there with a frosty expression on his face. Meanwhile, Bernard was standing next to him, looking listless.
Bernard raised his eyebrows and whistled.
Melanie glanced at him and said flatly, “This is the first floor.”
Instead of answering, Bernard asked in reply, “Do you really work at LeapCo?”
“No.”
“No.”
Two voices rang out simultaneously, and Eugene strode out from the elevator as he said calmly, “She’s been fired from LeapCo.”
Bernard inquired, “Why?”
Melanie had already entered the elevator and thus did not hear Eugene’s answer.
The employees she spoke to this time were Yana and Lee. Hence, everything went smoothly.
However, before she left, Yana tugged on her arm and asked conspiratorily, “Melanie, did you attend Viola’s birthday party yesterday?
“You have no idea how ugly the look on her face was when she walked into work today.
“She kept telling everyone in the office since half a month ago that Mr. Scott was throwing her a birthday party, but she looked like she’s been forcing herself to smile all day today.”
Melanie recalled how Viola had looked last night. She had not seemed the slightest bit upset, She shook her head and did not say anything.

Yana did not mind and brought up something else. “I’ve got more gossip. I heard that Viola invited Mr. Scott’s parents to her birthday party yesterday, but neither of them wanted to come.”
Viola was not welcome among the secretaries, and the secretary department was like an intelligence agency with access to all sorts of gossip.
Melanie’s life resumed its normalcy after a couple of days.
Then, she received a call from an unknown number.
After checking the IP and seeing that the call was coming from Jepton, she answered.
However, George’s terrifying voice rang out after a momentary pause. “Jepton City Hospital, right? You forced me to do this, Melanie Smith!”
It was already ten at night, and George hung up the phone after finishing his last sentence.
Melanie froze momentarily before she sprang to her feet from the couch!
George was in Jepton right now?
Was he at the hospital?
Grandpa…
Grandpa!
Melanie sped all the way to the hospital and was greeted by the sight of several men standing before the door leading to her grandfather’s ward. The man who looked the fiercest of the bunch was none other than George Chapman!
