Chapter 540
Eugene put down the document in his hand and said condescendingly, “As you can see, I’m very busy.”
Stella looked extremely upset. She tried her best to hold back her anger as she reminded Eugene, “It was Cedric’s suggestion to send Evelyn over to LeapCo. Show your attitude to him and not me if you dare!
“If you really are capable, then get back to work at the headquarters. Do you think you have any right to go against your family’s wishes with only a small company in your hands?”
A complicated look appeared in Stella’s eyes while saying this. She eventually managed to calm her emotions.
“What’s so bad about Evelyn? She’s beautiful, comes from a good and influential family, and is highly educated. There’s nothing to pick about her. Why must you choose women who aren’t good enough for the family?!”
Stella lost her calm and got furious again at the last sentence.
She continued, “I don’t care what you do, but Cedric and I are on the same page when it comes to Evelyn. As for other matters, you should have a good think about them.”
Eugene’s hand paused midway through flipping the document. He said indifferently, “You can leave now if there’s nothing else.”
Stella slammed the door behind her when she left.
Eugene continued reading the document in his hand. He did not look like he had been affected by her at all.
Melanie took a taxi straight back to the villa. Xander called her on the phone while she was on her way. “Are you still at LeapCo?”
She replied, “I just left. Can you help me contact Carlton? I have something I need to ask.”
“Sure,” Xander replied.
Melanie suddenly remembered that Xander was the one who called her and asked, “What’s wrong? Is there something you need?”
When Melanie arrived at the hospital with what Xander asked for, he was already waiting at the ward building for her.
He coughed gently when he saw her. “Sorry to trouble you.”
Melanie raised the bag in her hand. “It’s fine. This is a normal situation, but does your sister really need all of these?”
Xander had asked for Melanie’s help to get some intimate female products. He paused and looked a little embarrassed. “I have no idea. She insisted on getting them.”
Melanie had a bag of supplements in her other hand. She said, “Since I’m already here, is it
convenient to visit your sister?”
When they went up the building, Xander’s sister was leaning against the bedhead. A foreigner was helping her put on lipstick carefully.
Xander’s older sister was called Liana Solomon. Melanie had thought Liana was terribly hurt after hearing Xander’s description of what happened to her.
Liana was talking to the foreigner when she suddenly spotted Xander standing at the door. Her eyes immediately lit up. “Did you get everything I wanted?”
Xander and Liana looked quite alike. Even though Liana was in a hospital gown and her head was bandaged, it was easy to see that she was a beautiful woman.
She had a bright voice, and Xander said that Liana was three years older than he was. When she was young, a fortune teller had said that she would have a short life, which prompted her parents to bring her up more like a boy.
Liana noticed Melanie standing next to Xander after she asked him the question. There was a pleasant look of surprise on her face.
She turned to the foreigner happily. “I told you, didn’t I, Yury? If we make him buy some girly stuff, we’d get to see his girlfriend!”
The man called Yury looked helpless as he glanced at Xander. “I’m sorry. Your sister insisted that you had a girlfriend, and she made a bet with me about this.”
Melanie looked at this sudden change in Liana, and she suddenly had no idea what to do with the bag of supplements in her hand.
It did not look like Liana needed them.
While Melanie was looking blank, Liana got Yury to help her up. She looked happily at Melanie. “Fortunately, Xander has good taste like me. He likes pretty women.
Liana looked affectionately at Melanie. “What’s your name, my future sister-in-law? How old are you? When did you start dating Xander?”
