Chapter 510
“I heard Rockwater presented the same proposal as us and gave it to the Qaisa family before we did.”
Melanie’s heart skipped a beat upon hearing the word ‘Rockwater‘.
She had bumped into Viola and Mason meeting up twice.
However, she did not tell Yana about that. After all, she was not in the position to meddle with LeapCo’s matter.
Just as she hung up the call, she heard Stephen asking her with hesitation, “I heard you seemed to be talking about the Qaisa family of Oskon City just now?”
Melanie nodded. “The cooperation between LeapCo and the Qaisa family might not work out.”
Stephen froze. “The Qaisa family might not be a good business partner. They have many conflicts in the family, and the only real heir is Bernard. The family might perish soon.”
Hearing the name Bernard reminded Melanie of the man who had stared at her the last time. He said she looked like someone he knew.
She lifted her eyebrow and asked, “What’s going on with the Qaisa family?”
Stephen said nothing for some time before sighing with his head down. “They brought up an ungrateful brat who is stirring the family upside down.”
Melanie seldom heard Stephen calling others a brat. She said, “They’re still influential, and I’m sure the Qaisa family can come up with something.”
Stephen said nothing. The Qaisa family was indeed powerful, but what if their members drained them of their wealth?
Moreover, the person doing this was ruthless and insane.
Melanie was just casually asking about the Qaisa family. At the same time, Yana would gossip about LeapCo’s condition whenever she contacted Melanie. She complained about working overtime and almost going crazy.
Melanie thought Henry would give up trying to get her to come for a meal.
Unexpectedly, Eugene’s call came in the evening. His voice sounded husky and tired. “I’m at the door. Come out.”
Melanie grunted in response. She saw Eugene’s car parked at the gate when she walked out.
The window was rolled down, and Eugene was resting his arm on the brim. To Melanie’s surprise, Eugene had a cigarette between his fingers.
Eugene seldom smoked and drank for some personal reason.
He casually held the cigarette, and his hand was hanging out just next to the side mirror.
The atmosphere in the car was down. Melanie pondered before saying, “I’m ready to go.”
Eugene looked away indifferently, extinguished his cigarette, and took a piece of wet tissue to wrap the cigarette bud before throwing it into a box. Then, he took another wet tissue and

wiped his hand clean before driving the car.
His phone rang a couple of times while he drove, but he just glanced at it.
Melanie could see those were calls from Viola and an unknown number.
The atmosphere in the car was depressing. Eugene was expressionless. When they arrived, Melanie said, “I heard Rockwater snatched LeapCo’s project recently.”
Eugene glanced at her coldly. “Are you trying to gloat at me?”
Melanie pursed her lips. “Why should I do that? LeapCo and Burning Star Studio are business partners, and it won’t do us any good if something happens to LeapCo.”
After all, Burning Star Studio’s finances were in LeapCo’s hands.
Melanie would never offend her investor.
She paused before saying, “If Rockwater can get LeapCo’s document, it can only mean LeapCo has a black sheep. And that person can get in and out of your office as they wish.‘
Eugene did not deny her guess.

He just looked at Melanie coldly. “You were the one who delivered the document to LeapCo.”
