Chapter 637
Melanie had never expressed her disgust and hatred for Viola so directly to Eugene.
However, the thought of her deceased grandfather and the stupid, unrepenting yet delighted look on Viola made Melanie burst out with pain and anger.
She could not allow her grandfather to leave this world just like that. Viola had to pay for what she
had done.
If Eugene was determined to defend Viola, Melanie would not allow Eugene to get away with it either.
This world had justice. She could not allow bad people to go unpunished.
Melanie looked up to meet Eugene’s eyes. She did not shrink from him. His eyes were like the deep
ocean. They were dark and unfathomable, and it looked like a storm was brewing in them.
It took a while before Eugene turned away his complicated gaze. His voice was deep as he said, “Do whatever you want.”
She could not tell what he was feeling.
Eugene turned to leave after that. Melanie stood at the door for a while before returning to her room.
Yvonne called Melanie on the phone at the right time and said, “I heard that Xander is going over to Oskon City to accompany you.‘
Melanie corrected her, “He’s just here to purchase some materials.”
“It’s that same, isn’t it? He’s going to Oskon City regardless,” Yvonne mumbled. “Hey, Mel, why don’t I visit you in Oskon City too? It’s so boring back here at Jepton!”
Neither of them talked about how Yvonne had gotten wasted during her engagement with Carlisle.
They pretended nothing had happened.
Melanie looked out at the gloomy weather and smiled. “The weather at Oskon City isn’t that great. There’s nothing here to see anyway. You might as well stay back in Jepton.”
Yvonne howled sadly. She chatted with Melanie for about ten more minutes before hanging up.
Melanie’s takeaway had arrived just on time.
Melanie opened the door to see a tall, skinny young man in black sports attire. He had a yellow vest
over his shirt.
She frowned slightly. The young man was wearing a black baseball cap. His cap was pulled so low it covered his face. “Here’s your takeaway, Miss Smith.”
Melanie’s eyes widened slightly, but her expression later turned calm as she answered, “I’m sorry, my friend just ordered me some food. You can have this takeaway instead.”
The young man was taken aback. He did not expect her to say that.

By the time he realized it, Melanie had already taken a step back and closed the door. She even locked the door after that.
Melanie did not feel like that was enough and dragged a short stool over from the side to block the
door.
After all this was done, she suddenly realized that her back was drenched in cold sweat.
Melanie had developed a habit every time she worked outstation. She would never use her own name when ordering takeaway or shop online when she was away from home.
She would use the name ‘Milly Link‘ instead.
However, that man had called her ‘Miss Smith‘….
So many strange occurrences had happened to her recently, and Melanie finally knew the answer. She pressed her hand against her chest to try and suppress the anxiousness and fear she was feeling.
It would be extremely stupid of her if she still did not realize that someone was after her.
Melanie tried her best to hold back her flustered emotions. She picked up the phone to inform
someone about it but had no idea who to talk to.
Xander and the rest were back in Jepton. It would only worry them if she mentioned anything about
this.
However, she did not have any close friends in Jepton.
There was also Eugene.
Melanie pressed her lips and called the front desk.
