Chapter 463
When Melanie got downstairs, Xander and Oliver were still waiting for her.
She approached them, and Xander asked, “Have you settled the matter?”
“Yes.” Melanie nodded. “Moreover, Eugene said we could refer to the guideline and carry out the project reasonably.”
Oliver lifted his eyebrow. “Oh, he gave in?”
“It’s not him giving in. But at the very least, this is a chance. After you do the proposal, I’ll hand it to him,” said Melanie.
Compared to letting others do the proposal, Oliver felt amending the project was better. His spirits were raised, and he asked Xander, “Let’s go to the supplier now?”
Xander nodded and looked at Melanie.
She said, “I’ll prepare the information needed back in the villa. After all, I can’t help much with the materials.”
Xander hesitated before asking, “Have your matters been settled?”
Melanie looked unhappy, and it seemed her matter was not settled.
Concerned, he said gently, “You can let me know if you need any help.”
Melanie closed her eyes and said, “I know.”
After Melanie left, only Viola was with Eugene in the office.
Viola looked at Eugene, feeling emotional. She felt Eugene and her were not like a couple.
Eugene did not seem to care about her anymore. He transferred her to the secretary’s office and employed a new intern.
To Viola, that meant Eugene had dumped her.
She called out his name, “Eugene…”
Eugene flipped through the report. “What’s the matter?”
“I…” Viola wanted to speak, but Eugene’s phone rang.
He looked at his phone coldly and glanced at Viola before answering.
Viola was a little reluctant when she left the office.
It was almost ten at night when Eugene arrived at the Scott family’s place.
Just as he entered, Cedric’s displeased voice sounded. “Why are you back so late?”
“I worked overtime,” answered Eugene calmly.
Cedric sneered. “I thought you were being stubborn and refusing to return.”
Eugene was used to Cedric’s behavior and sat on the couch as he asked coldly, “Why did you want me back here?”
Cedric was still stern as he sat opposite Eugene. “Your mother and I have decided on your
engagement to Evelyn. She’s a suitable woman for you.”
Eugene’s hatred flashed across his eyes but soon disappeared.
He said in his deep voice, “You’re good at arranging. No wonder you could coax the Hel family to marry their daughter to you.”
“Eugene! I am your father!”
Eugene scoffed. “I’m not denying that.”
Cedric’s face was ashen. “Do you think you have the right to reject? Don’t forget what you’ve promised me!”
Eugene frowned and stood up to leave. Before he even took a step, Cedric said, “Your grandfather’s flight to Jepton is tomorrow. Think about it.”
Eugene froze. His grandfather was the one who looked after him when he was a kid, but later on, he had to recuperate on an island abroad because of his health. It had been a long time since he returned.
After a moment of hesitation, he left.
His grandfather was almost in his 80s, but he still looked healthy.
