Xander was not surprised. “Is it Eugene Scott?”
Melanie nodded.
Xander said, “LeapCo isn’t doing that great right now. I heard that his company has been badly affected and the board of directors is unhappy with him.”
He said this casually but with a hint of sarcasm. “It never crossed my mind that he would still defend Viola Shaw under such stressful circumstances. I’m a little surprised.”
Melanie exhaled softly. She was feeling glum about this.
She asked Xander, “What else can I do about it?”
Xander was silent for a while. “I have a senior from school who’s a pretty good lawyer. I’ll contact him on your behalf.”
He was very efficient about this, and they set up an appointment to meet that very night.
Xander’s senior was already waiting when they arrived at the meeting spot. Xander cut to the chase, “The situation is exactly like I described to you on the phone. Do you think there’s anything we can do about it?”
Carlton glanced at Melanie and later looked back and forth between her and Xander thoughtfully for a while. He finally replied, “If you have sufficient evidence, it won’t be a problem submitting it to the court.
“But there are some things that you are aware of that I won’t go too deep into. You currently have two choices.

She knew what Xander wanted to ask. There was a lot of history between her and Eugene, after all. Xander wondered if she would be fine with it.
To Melanie, there was no reason for her to consider Eugene’s

Carlton watched all of this and gave a cough before reminding them, “I’m telling you on account that you’re my junior from school. Even though this is a little unethical, the law is there to protect all of our rights.
“I’m informing you in advance that I’m not coercing anyone…”
Melanie took Carlton’s words seriously.
She made a trip to LeapCo on Monday morning. Xander wanted to accompany her, but he suddenly received a call from the hospital and rushed there to see his sister.
Melanie went directly to the top floor. She did not expect the CEO’s office to be so noisy.
Stella was there with Evelyn.
Melanie paused in her steps. She looked at Stella, and a hint of emotion appeared on her stoic face.
Before she had time to consider if she should wait outside, Stella had already spotted her.
