Chapter 439
Stephen looked like he did not want to say anything more, and Melanie did not ask any further.
They went to the motel that Dylan had stayed at. When the receptionist heard that they were here to get the surveillance footage, he asked them to leave. “Surveillance footage? What footage? We don’t have anything like that here!”
This place claimed to be a motel, but it was just a residential building next to the hospital that was converted into a motel. It did not have the best facilities.
Melanie noticed that this place did not have an operating license.
Stephen shook his head. “There’s nothing we can do here. Let’s check out the other locations.”
Melanie agreed. Despite feeling disappointed, she did not express it.
However, she did not want to give up just like that. Dylan had told her quite a few spots.
The fact that Dylan kept defending Viola was going to be something quite difficult to handle.
Melanie looked frustrated, and her pretty eyes dimmed.
Stephen understood what she was going through and consoled her softly, “Don’t be anxious. You still have me.”
Melanie went home to rest for the night. She went to the villa the next day.
She still had no idea how to handle the issue of Eugene getting injured.
Melanie did not expect to bump into Carla on her way there.
She did not have a deep impression of Carla. All she remembered was that Eugene had brought her to attend Carla’s husband’s birthday party a few years ago. After that, they did not really see each other.
It was also because Melanie had bumped into her with Stella that made her remember Carla.
Carla was dressed in branded haute couture and had exquisite makeup on her face. She smiled and nodded when she saw Melanie.
Melanie nodded in return.
“You’re Melanie Smith, aren’t you?” Carla suddenly called out to her when they brushed by
each other.
Melanie paused. “Mrs. Goldman,”
Carla said, “Please don’t take Stella’s words seriously from our last meeting. That’s just the way she is.”
Melanie did not expect Carla to say this to her. She frowned before replying, “Anyone who knows Madam Scott is well aware of what her personality is like. I won’t hold it against her. Besides, even if I wanted to, I probably don’t have the ability to do so.”

There was a look of surprise in Carla’s eyes. Melanie had subtly suggested that Stella had a lousy temper.
“I’ll be leaving if there’s nothing else,” Melanie said nonchalantly.
She did not know Carla well. Moreover, she was someone associated with Stella and the Scotts, There was nothing much for them to chat about.
Carla watched her leave and frowned slightly.
She had not believed it when Stella mentioned that Eugene was no longer with this lady.
It looked like Stella was telling the truth.
Melanie did not think much about bumping into Carla,
The villa was very quiet when she arrived. Reny and Oliver were sitting on the sofa silently.
Melanie knew that it must be about what happened yesterday. She looked around and did not see Xander. Lowering her eyes, she asked, “Where’s Xander?”
Reny looked up. “He’s on a call inside the study.”
“Why are you all looking so out of sorts? Is it because of what happened yesterday?” Melanie asked.
Reny shook her head. “Nope. LeapCo hasn’t gotten back to us on how to handle that. All they said was to wait for their answer. Xander is working on something else.”
“What is it?”
Reny suddenly stopped explaining, “You should ask him yourself later. I don’t really understand it yet.”
