Chapter 433
Melanie was prepared to head to the site. When she got downstairs, she said calmly, “I won’t be sharing a car with you, Mr. Scott. After all, it would be inappropriate to do so. You know the address to the location. We’ll meet there.”
She left before Eugene could even reply.
Melanie did this without hesitation, and Eugene’s expression turned even darker as he stood where he was.
Lee had just contacted the driver. He was shocked to see Eugene in such a dark mood.
Melanie was on the way to the site when she received a call from Stephen. He sounded grim.‘ Mel, George Chapman and Dylan Lancaster are about to have their trial soon. It’s best that you be prepared for it.”
There was a lot of evidence stacked against them, especially for George. They had even found evidence of his crimes from a few years ago, and it had all been submitted to court.
Melanie did not feel much about this. George should have expected this when he did all those things.
As for Dylan, not reporting the crime when she knew what happened was equivalent to being an accomplice.
Both of them deserved it.
She watched the view speedily pass by outside and said without emotion, “I’ll submit more evidence later to sue George Chapman for murder.”
Melanie remembered what Peachie had told her.
George had beaten up her grandfather, which led to his respirator falling off.
However…
A look flashed in Melanie’s eyes. She said in a low voice, “I’d still like to see Dylan. I have something to ask her.”
Something came up on Stephen’s side, and he did not say much about this.
Melanie had just arrived on site when Eugene’s Maybach arrived.
She went over to him with a stoic expression.
Terence and another young man were measuring the site with a few workers when Melanie appeared with Eugene. He stopped his work and said, “Xander just called to tell me that Mr. Scott is here for an inspection.”
He said cheerfully, “We’re almost done over here. All we need to do is to perfect the route and we can start putting everything together.”
Eugene swept a glance around, and he noticed some drywall piled up in the corner.
He asked coldly, “Why is there drywall over there?”
Terence followed his gaze.

Their plans included a huge amount of drywall and plaster strips to form the foundation of the decorations. They had just finished inspecting them after the drywall and plaster strips arrived a few days prior.
“Oh, we were trying to resolve the issue with the route and needed to do some measuring, so we placed them over there for now.” Terence did not seem to mind it too much.
He thought Eugene did not understand the situation, so he explained in detail, “Those will be used for the decorations…”
Eugene interrupted him before he could finish. “They’re stacked too high, and it’s messy.”
Terence was taken aback before saying, “We put them there out of convenience.” “People would pass by at any time. They’re too simply placed,” Eugene said in a grim voice. “I don’t want any safety issues to happen at the construction site.”
Terence felt a little unhappy with this, and his smile faltered slightly.
He said, “Mr. Scott, you might not understand our expertise in the craft. We’re quite casual when it comes to this industry. If we follow the rules too rigidly, we’ll lose our inspiration.” Terence looked at Melanie after that. “Xander says that you should go get more rest, Melanie. You should take a seat over there.”
Melanie nodded and went to rest. Eugene was not happy with the site, and she was not able to help out because she was not a professional when it came to this. She could only leave Terence to talk to Eugene about this.
She initially did not feel tired, but the moment she sat down, Melanie suddenly felt fatigued.
She was tired and aching all over.
Her phone rang, and Melanie took it out to see that it was a group message from Yvonne.
She lowered her head to look at her phone. She did not notice that a worker was getting increasingly close to her while measuring the site.
Eugene was almost done inspecting the area. He asked, “When do you estimate for this to be completed?”
