Chapter 240
If Melanie did not enter the elevator, it would look like she was doing it on purpose.
She pressed her lips and got in.
Melanie leaned against the elevator, and when the doors opened, she walked out without hesitation.
She did not expect to see Dylan looking around the moment she walked out of the company’s door.
Dylan was still wearing the same clothes as yesterday, and her aged face was covered with anxiousness.
Melanie suddenly remembered that Dylan had also waited outside LeapCo this way the first time she came to Jepton to see her.
She could not even remember what she felt back then when she saw Dylan.
However, it was definitely not what she was currently feeling, which was helplessness and exhaustion.
She did not even have the energy to be mad anymore.
Melanie was so tired. All she wanted was to find a place to lie down and rest.
However, Dylan had already spotted her and came running toward the company’s entrance.
While she was running, Melanie suddenly realized how skinny she was. Dylan’s skin was dark, and her hair was brittle. There was no light in her eyes.
Her memory of Dylan as a warm and gentle mother did not match the current Dylan at all.
Dylan did not notice the daze in Melanie’s eyes. She smiled with slight embarrassment as she came up to Melanie. “Have you gotten off work, Mel? I’m here to pick you up.”
Melanie calmed herself down before saying in a growl, “If you want me to take Grandpa, you can forget about it.”
you to
Dylan’s expression froze. “I’m his daughter. It’s not wrong for me to visit him.” Melanie looked coldly at her. “I haven’t seen you visit him at all for the past few years. But suddenly, it’s not wrong of you to visit him now that something has happened to George Chapman.”
Dylan was blocking her at the door, and more people were walking out as it was after work. Many of them began to quietly watch the commotion between them.
Melanie did not want to argue in front of so many people. She paused before saying, “George Chapman is not a good man/You don’t need to sacrifice your dignity like that over a man like him.”
However, her words seemed to provoke something in Dylan.
Dylan suddenly threw herself at Melanie. Her eyes were red as she cried, “I know very well what kind of person he is. He’s not a good man, but at least he won’t sleep around with other women!

“I know you hate me for not taking you with me back then, Mel, but Howard Smith wasn’t a good man. He slept with prostitutes, and those women came knocking on our door to collect debts from us!
“Do you know why he didn’t want you? Because that son of a bitch had a bastard child outside. with another woman!
“He didn’t want you because he thought you were a burden!”
Dylan sobbed hysterically, but Melanie stood firm where she was. She did not move and let Dylan hug her and cry.
Melanie remembered the day Howard and Melanie got divorced. It was a terrible sight as they had been fighting physically.
However, Melanie had not expected this.
The day he left, Howard had brought her to the theme park for the entire day. Did he have other children then?
He pinched her cheek that day and said to her, “Mel, I’m going somewhere else for work today. I’ll bring fried chicken for you when I come back.
“You’ll always be my baby, Mel. Even when I’m not with your mother anymore, you’ll always be my little princess.”
Melanie blinked as she suddenly realized something.
She was always the one who was abandoned.
Always.
No one ever wanted her.
