Chapter 443
Melanie’s face was calm, but her eyes were cold. Anyone could tell that there was bad blood between her and Eugene.
Cameron studied both of their faces. “Come on, we’re all friends. What are you saying?”
Melanie’s lips curled up slightly as she said naturally, “I’m just praising Mr. Scott. Everyone int Jepton’s finance industry knows how influential LeapCo has been in recent years. Isn’t this all thanks to Mr. Scott’s ruthless and decisive leadership?”
After saying that, she took a cocktail from the waiter’s tray and took a sip. No matter how they looked at her, her expression looked very sincere.
Cameron laughed and tried to change the topic. His eyes fell on the back of Eugene’s bandaged hand. “What happened to your hand, Mr. Scott?”
The look of nonchalance on Melanie’s face wavered. She glanced subtly at Eugene’s hand too.
She had seen the wound that day and knew how deep it was.
As Melanie pursed her lips slightly, Eugene said emotionlessly, “I was injured when I went to the construction site.”
“That’s terrible! Any site that can’t even guarantee the people’s safety is surely doomed to fail, “Wagner chipped in.

Melanie’s eyebrows moved slightly. She paused for a moment and raised her eyelashes, but she was caught off guard when she met Eugene’s gaze.
There was a layer of mist in Eugene’s dark eyes, and his thin lips were pressed thin. He looked down at Melanie and did not hold back his majestic aura.
Melanie’s heart skipped a beat.
Eugene’s injury at the construction site could be a big deal or a minor one. It would be fine if he did not pursue the matter, but if he did, Blue Inc would probably be the first to withdraw from the deal.
Therefore, that was why Melanie’s first reaction on the day of the incident was to lower her head and promise Eugene that she would give him any reasonable compensation.
After a moment of silence, Eugene laughed mockingly. “You’re right. That site is-”
Before he could finish his sentence, his phone suddenly rang.
Eugene picked up the phone expressionlessly and then frowned slightly. The next second, he said lightly, “Ask Simon to bring you over.”
He hung up the phone. His expression was the same as before, but Melanie saw a coldness in his eyes.
Fortunately, they did not continue the previous topic. Eugene lowered his gaze and looked at his phone. Cameron changed the topic, discussing a new project series that had recently been released instead.
Melanie would add a few sentences from time to time, relaxing and enjoying herself.

When Simon arrived with Viola, Melanie realized why Eugene’s face had gone cold.
He was probably worried that Viola would see her with him and get upset.
Melanie knew when she was not wanted. She said goodbye to Cameron and walked to the other side.
Viola saw Melanie’s back as she approached Eugene.
Melanie was tall, beautiful, and capable, so she stood out wherever she went. She even managed to pull off her purple outfit, making it look smart and professional.
Viola looked at Simon. “Why is Melanie here?”
“She’s here with Xander. Their crappy little studio has a deal with LeapCo and Blue Inc, don’t they?”
Although Simon was not involved in business, he was more well–informed than anyone else in the industry.
Viola nodded, her fringe falling over her eyes.
Simon led her to Eugene’s side and patted Eugene’s arm casually. “Viola specially came from the north to see you. Come on, what’s wrong with you? Shouldn’t you have picked her up?” Eugene said, “I’m too busy for that.”
