Chapter 516
“You’re casting me aside because of some disgusting woman? Eugene, do you even have a heart?!” Viola cried out sorrowfully as she looked at Eugene with eyes full of pain and disappointment.
This drama had reached a point where Melanie no longer cared about the outcome. On the contrary, she had not even uttered a word yet ended up having her name smeared by Viola. It was truly unfortunate.
Melanie stood up expressionlessly. Her voice was calm as she said, “Since it’s already proven that this has nothing to do with me, I’ll take my leave now.”
She glanced at Viola and added indifferently, “LeapCo matters are none of my concern. Please don’t drag me into this mess. Otherwise, I won’t hesitate to sue you for defamation and spreading rumors.”
This time, Eugene did not say anything more.
Before she left, Melanie looked at Eugene again. His features were sharp, and there was an
indiscernible haze in his dark eyes. Sensing her gaze, Eugene looked up and directed his attention to Melanie.
In that fleeting moment of eye contact, Melanie’s eyebrows furrowed subtly. She pursed her lips and looked away. With that, she left LeapCo.
The night was cool, and the outside was quiet. Only the top floor of LeapCo was still illuminated. Melanie waited on the roadside for a while before managing to hail a taxi back to the villa.
Yana updated her about Viola two days later. She had been fired from LeapCo and dumped by Eugene.
Viola was unwilling to let it happen and caused quite a scene at LeapCo for two days, making the situation very unpleasant.
“Viola truly deserves it. She’s never satisfied. What she did could be considered theft of company secrets. Because of her, LeapCo suffered significant losses.
“Mr. Scott didn’t even report her to the police for stealing trade secrets. She should be grateful instead of coming to the company to cause trouble,” Yana said.
“How shameless.”
Melanie was not surprised by the way Eugene handled the situation. After all, Viola used to be someone he genuinely cared about. There would still be some privileges extended to her.
Eugene was not willing to prosecute her, but his decision had nothing to do with Melanie. She would still choose to take Viola to court.
George’s phone had been repaired, allowing them to go through the recordings inside. Melanie was about to go out to find Stephen to get the phone.
Eugene might let Viola go, but Melanie would not. She had said it before—if Viola truly caused trouble

and indirectly caused the death of her grandfather, she would not let Viola off easily.
Meanwhile, at Youth Apartment in the North district, Viola heard a sound coming from inside her house the moment she pushed open the door.

She hesitated for a moment, and her brows knitted together upon seeing several of her relatives in the living room.
“Oh, Viola is back. She’s a beautiful woman. No wonder she found herself such a good partner.”
Viola froze and looked toward the woman sitting in the middle. “Mom, why is Aunt Trisha here?”
Her choice of words dissatisfied her mother, who glared at her and said, “Watch how you talk. Your Aunt Trisha came all the way to see you. By the way, invite Eugene over and we’ll have dinner together. Your Aunt Trisha needs his help with something!”
