Chapter 237
Before she got back to her office, Melanie went to the pantry to get herself a cup of warm water to warm her tummy. Her tummy was feeling a little uncomfortable.
It was noisy when she got to the office door. Everyone seemed to be discussing something.
Melanie took a breath outside the door before walking in, but the noisy office suddenly turned silent when she stepped inside.
The silence had come too suddenly.
Melanie was taken aback, but she was not in the mood to be concerned about the change in atmosphere. She returned to her desk and called Yana over. She passed a report to her. “Verify the data and pass it to the financial department if there aren’t any issues.”
Yana looked at her hesitatingly. Melanie raised an eyebrow. “What’s wrong?”
“Have you seen the group chat, Melanie?”
There were dozens of group chats for LeapCo, so she asked, “Which group chat is it? Is something wrong?”
“It’s the personal group chat where everyone is anonymous.” Yana realized Melanie had no idea what was going on. She paused before saying, “Someone recorded a video of your mother and you at Paramount Hospital last night.”
Melanie was tidying her desk when she suddenly stopped moving. She had flung her purse to the side the moment she got home and had not checked her phone.
Yana continued, “The discussions in that group are quite terrible. You have to be mentally prepared before reading them, Melanie.”
To be honest, Yana was already being polite about it.
When Melanie checked the group chat from the bathroom stall, people were still discussing the video, but they were all anonymous.
[I always thought Melanie came from a good family because of the efficient way she worked.]
[This must be the reason why Mr. Scott and Viola got together. After all, a person’s family would affect their relationships.]
Melanie’s lips pressed tight when she read those two messages. After that, she kept scrolling
- up.
She finally found the video after scrolling through thousands of messages.
Melanie’s fingers trembled as she clicked on it. Dylan’s pleading voice was immediately heard the moment she clicked on the video.
“Can you please loan me five 500,000…”
Melanie was dumbstruck. It felt like her mind just exploded from being struck by lightning. She stood where she was in a daze.
The video on her phone had finished playing, and it now displayed the chat box.

There were many different sorts of comments coming from the group. There was the occasional accusation of pointing out how immoral it was to be recording others without their permission, but most of them were here to watch the drama.
There was a flustered look in Melanie’s eyes, and she could not focus. Melanie stared at her phone, and a chill crawled down her spine. Even the air she was breathing felt like sharp daggers stabbing her in the chest. It hurt.
Her phone suddenly rang, and Melanie jumped. She almost flung the phone away.
Fortunately, she quickly snapped out of it and saw that the call was from Xander.
Melanie was silent for a while before picking up the call.
Xander paused before saying, “Melanie?”
“Yeah, I’m here.”
“I’ve managed to set up a dinner with Bluc Inc tonight. Are you free?” Xander had promised to connect her with Blue Inc previously.
Melanie’s mind was in a mess, and her voice sounded strained. She tried her best to calm her emotions down. “I’m really sorry, Xander. I don’t think I’ll be in my best condition tonight.” She had no idea what else Dylan would do. Melanie felt that she would not be able to handle Blue Inc at this time.
Melanie needed some time to sort herself out.
Xander noticed something wrong with Melanie’s tone. He paused a moment before asking, Did something happen?”
“It’s nothing.” Melanie pinched between her eyes. Her voice was dry. “It’s just some family issues. My… My mom is here.”
