The video was fast–forwarded, and the sounds of their ambiguous entanglement became more
prominent. Melanie’s face turned pale. She flipped the phone over, slamming it on the table. She then covered her mouth and dry heaved.
It was disgusting.
Yet, she could not stop the image of Howard’s infatuated and reckless appearance from flashing through her mind. There was also his hand pressed against the woman’s back.
She did not feel sick when she heard Dylan mention the man’s affairs before, or even when she saw him with Blanca at the hospital. In her subconscious mind, Howard was still her father, the one she imagined would always cherish her like a princess.
Even though she repeatedly told herself that Howard had long abandoned her, she could not help but remember the moments from her childhood when he would call her name while letting her sit on his shoulders.
She had been naive and did not imagine that things were this bad.
However, seeing Howard in the video now, Melanie only felt an indescribable disgust within her.
Taking a deep breath, she slowly regained her composure and looked at Matthew. She intended to confront him. However, no sound came out of her throat, which felt dry and tight.
Matthew observed her expression with a hint of mockery flashing through his eyes. He tapped the table with his finger and sneered, “Can’t handle it?”
He then chuckled and added, “Well, it’s understandable. Who would want to have any association with such a disgusting person? Aren’t I right, my sister, Melanie?”
Melanie’s back broke out in a cold sweat at the way he enunciated the word ‘sister‘. She had noticed the glimpse of malice in Matthew’s eyes.
Almost instantly, a plethora of information raced through Melanie’s mind. They merged together, leading to one conclusion–Matthew was warning her. He was reminding her not to disclose the relationship between him and Howard.
Matthew had never hidden his disdain for Howard. Melanie recalled Yvette’s remark about nobody knowing Matthew’s family situation. This meant he was sensitive about Howard’s presence, to the extent of not wanting others to know about the connection between them.
Who was he trying to hide it from? Or was he simply trying to distance himself from Howard? Regardless, if he wanted to distance himself, he should not have had any contact with Melanie.
What exactly did Matthew want?
Melanie closed her eyes, her thoughts all jumbled up in her mind. She then looked at Matthew deeply. He had a cup of tea in his hand. When he sensed Melanie’s gaze on him, he met it without even

flinching.

When Melanie left, she passed by the adjacent private room, which was shut tightly. Thinking of the video Matthew had shown her, she could not help but furrow her brows.
It was 8:00 pm when she returned to the hotel. Melanie felt somewhat dazed. Matthew’s actions were like a fog, concealing an unspoken danger within. She walked back with a heavy heart.
At the elevator, she encountered Lee, who was rushing downstairs. When the man saw Melanie, he paused and frowned. “Melanie, where have you been? I’ve been trying to call you so many times, but
never answered.”
You
Melanie stopped. “Is there something you need?”
“Yeah, Mr. Scott has a fever.”
