Chapter 474
Eugene’s brows furrowed as he withdrew his gaze from Melanie and walked away.
Melanie stood where she was, the jewelry she had intended to return to Henry still in her hands.
She looked around for a shaded spot to call a taxi, but when she turned around, she saw a figure flash by.
Mason?
Melanie’s brows were knitted together slightly. Why would Mason be here? Why was he behaving all stealth–like? If she was not mistaken, Mason dodged out of sight the moment he saw her.
Lost in thought, she heard a honk behind her, causing her to instinctively take two steps back. It was only when the familiar Maybach stopped in front of her that she realized Eugene’s intention. However, she remained unmoved as she was about to hail a taxi herself.
The car window rolled down, and Eugene’s emotionless voice sounded. “Get in.”
“I’ll go back on my own.”
Eugene’s dark eyes became colder as he stared straight at Melanie. “Feeling confident now that my grandfather is back and you have someone supporting you?”
Her expression also turned cold as she replied, “Eugene, there’s no need for you to assume everyone is as immature as you are.”
“I’m immature?” Eugene’s eyes were intense, his well–defined features exuding a strong sense of oppression.
He looked like he wanted to say something more, but his phone on the center console suddenly rang. The call was related to work. The emotions churning in Eugene’s eyes were instantly suppressed.
Melanie also looked at her phone and said coldly, “My ride is here.” She walked away, bypassing Eugene.
What she did not know was that a pair of eyes were trained on her the entire time until she left.
Viola stood at the door, silently observing every interaction between Melanie and Eugene.
Though the distance was too far for her to hear their conversation, she had witnessed the old man’s kindness toward Melanie and Eugene’s deliberate offer to drive Melanie home.
Viola clenched her fists tightly. Just then, she heard Mason sigh beside her. “Viola, don’t overthink it. It might be a misunderstanding. Melanie used to visit the Scotts frequently, so it’s normal that she’s on good terms with Eugene’s grandfather.
“But I heard Eugene’s grandfather was overseas in the past few years. I don’t know why he’s back now.”
Viola’s ears perked up at that. “Who did you say he was? Eugene’s grandfather?”
Mason looked a bit confused. “Yes, that old man is Eugene’s grandfather. Viola, don’t you
know that?”
Hearing that, her face instantly darkened. Eugene took Melanie to meet his grandfather? Then what about her? What was she?
Melanie! It was always Melanie! Why did that despicable woman always get everything? What qualifications did she have?
Viola’s features contorted, and she suddenly thought of something. She suppressed the frustration she felt. Lowering her head, she took out her phone, found a contact, and swiftly
sent a message.
[Do you still want to sleep with Melanie?]
