Chapter 407
Melanie’s brows were knitted together. “Are you going to Hearth City?”
Hearth City reminded her of George and Dylan, which disgusted her.
Eugene looked at Lee, who understood Eugene’s intention and left with his things.
Only then did Eugene look at Melanie and say, “Your stepfather surprised me. He exposed all my information in Hearth City and brought me trouble.”
He tapped the table lightly and leaned backward, saying, “Melanie, don’t you think you should deal with this matter?”
Melanie frowned. “Why would George have your information?”
“Shouldn’t I be asking you that?” Eugene scoffed before adding, “I returned the 1.5 million dollars he borrowed. Now, I’m the one being pestered. Melanie, you’ve been enjoying a peaceful life for quite some time without being disturbed, haven’t you?”
Melanie’s expression changed. She did owe Eugene 1.5 million.
It was the money George borrowed from the loan sharks.
Melanie’s expression turned gloomy. She took a deep breath before saying, “Okay, I’ll go with you.”
Eugene lifted his eyebrow.
“And…” Melanie continued after a deep breath, “I’ll think of a way to return the 1.5 million to you.”
“Think of a way?” Eugene looked at Melanie disdainfully. “With your salary now? How much can Xander pay you?”
Melanie bit her lip. “You don’t have to concern yourself with how I’ll return your money. I’ll come up with something.”
Her expression was tense. Yvonne had told her before she was too stubborn and that it might
harm her.
However, Melanie had no other choice. She did not want to owe Eugene anything more.
It would be better to clear things up between them.
Not to mention 1.5 million, she had to return the money to Eugene even if it was ten million.
She could owe anyone money but not Eugene.
Her relationship with Eugene should be made clear.
It would be better if there was nothing more between her and Eugene.
She was firm and did not hesitate.
Eugene looked at her, and his expression grew colder. Smirking, he said, “Well then, let’s make this official. After all, it’s just your words now.”
Melanie’s expression was complicated. She looked at Eugene, who looked expressionless as he
said, “It’d be inappropriate if I don’t take the money if you insist on returning it
“I just hope it won’t take ten years for me to get back the 1.5 million dollars.”
Melanie felt her heart sinking when she signed her name on the document.
However, she still signed it.
Eugene took the document and scoffed coldly. “It seems like you’ve found a better life since you’ve chosen to clear things up between us so quickly.”
He had already left the meeting room before Melanie could understand what he meant.
Melanie embraced herself before leaving the meeting room. It was the toughest contract she had signed so far.
When she was about to leave, she bumped into Evelyn, who was talking about something with Julie. She did not seem to notice her.
Upon seeing them, Melanie thought of Viola.
The person who could not accept this engagement the most might be Viola
