Chapter 414
No one answered her. Theodore frowned and said, “Melanie, I don’t think it’s that serious…”
However, before he could finish, a deep voice interrupted him, “The agreement will only be a waste of paper if you don’t have the ability to carry it out.”
Expressionlessly, he added, “It’s enough having you waste one stack of paper.”
He was referring to the 1.5 million loan agreement signed by Melanie. She said tiredly, “I’ll return the money, but please give me some time.”
Eugene’s lips curled up as he sneered.
Viola watched from the side and said, “Eugene, what are you talking about? Melanie was once your secretary. She’s now in trouble. It won’t do any harm for you to help her.
“Moreover, Melanie has been nice to you until…”
She paused before diverting the topic. “You still have to help her. Don’t worry, I won’t mind.”
Viola’s way of putting it sounded disgusting to Melanie.
She mentioned Melanie’s relationship with Eugene and the fact that she was fired. Moreover, she also reminded Melanie that Eugene had nothing to do with her anymore.
It sounded simple but was full of complicated undertones.
However, Melanie’s gaze fell on Viola again upon hearing her voice.
She had a bold guess but did not have any proof of it.
Melanie left after a while. When she left the restaurant, it was already raining outside.
It was just a drizzle.
She hailed a taxi and looked for a place to stay.
Just as she arrived at the hotel, it started pouring outside. The raindrops smashed on the roof, making a huge rumbling sound.
Melanie checked into her room. Before she could unpack her things, her phone rang.
It was a call from Yvonne. “Have you landed at Hearth City?”
“I arrived this morning.”
“Alright. I’m just calling to make sure you’ve arrived safely. Mr. Crane from Blue Inc wants to talk business over dinner with you. Maybe you should arrange the time with him.”
Melanie nodded and asked, “Are you at the workshop?”
“I was called over to help again. Xander was forced to return to the Solomon family’s place last night. His grandfather seems to have fainted.”
Yvonne told her the situation casually, and Melanie did not ask further. It was Xander’s family matter, and she did not know much.
She had only heard from Eugene and the others that Xander was on bad terms with his family and seemed to have a stepbrother.
Yvonne hung up the call, and Melanie headed to the bathroom to take a bath. She wanted to sleep but was not sleepy.
It was difficult for her to fall asleep with so many thoughts in mind.
Getting up, she recalled everything about Viola since getting to know her.
Then, she tried getting the moments where she noticed Viola seemed to be in contact with Dylan.
She had to admit that during those moments, Dylan had always looked for her to make a fuss.
Melanie’s expression grew colder. If Albert’s death had anything to do with Viola, Melanie would not let her off quickly.
However, she needed to find evidence.
Melanie pondered as she sat on the bed. Then, she took her phone, changed her outfit, and headed out.
