Chapter 653
Eugene was saying this to Xander, but his gaze was fixed on Melanie.
He seemed to be implying that Melanie was the one being ungrateful.
Melanie frowned and subconsciously looked at Harvey. She happened to see his displeasure.
Her expression turned gloomy as she knew that Redwaves was against LeapCo and Burning Star Studio. Now that Eugene and Xander were retorting each other, it was a chance for Harvey to go against them.
Without hesitating, Melanie wanted to remind Xander. Still, she heard Eugene say, “However, Burning Star Studio has the ability to make Mr. Solomon so unruly, and LeapCo is willing to let Burning Star Studio be ungrateful.”
Although Eugene sounded sarcastic, he still gave in and spoke up for Xander.
When Xander mentioned Viola, he wanted to hint to Harvey that Viola had a personal grudge against
them. Hence, her words might not be true.
This time, Eugene expressed that he wanted to cooperate with Burning Star Studio, which meant
Burning Star Studio should be in the running.
It sounded like a friendly conversation, but it had many hidden meanings in it.
Frowning, Melanie looked at Eugene as she pondered how to stop the conversation. However, Viola spoke up faster than she did.
Viola looked at Xander in displeasure. “Mr. Solomon, what do you mean by that? The incident happened because Burning Star Studio was irresponsible. Why are you blaming it on me?
“I know you have a good relationship with Melanie and want to protect her, but why are you accusing
me?”
Melanie never expected to get implicated. She was sitting in the wheelchair, looking displeased.
What Melanie disliked most was bringing personal matters into business.
She looked at Harvey and calmly said, “Mr. Grant, no matter what, Burning Star Studio has to have a chance to prove ourselves. If you reject us just like that, it seems to go against the motive of tendering.”
“I don’t think prioritizing safety measurements is wrong,” said Harvey calmly.
Melanie said nothing. She could not convince Harvey if he insisted on bringing up the safety
measurements.
The atmosphere was tense, and Melanie pondered what to do next.
“It seems that no one informed you.” Just as she was pondering, a deep, indifferent voice sounded.

Matthew spoke slowly, yet his voice was clear. He looked at Melanie coldly, “The changes in terms a few days ago have stated everything. Even if Mr. Grant agrees to let Burning Star Studio take part, it’ll be difficult for you to be chosen.”
Melanie and Matthew did not have a pleasurable conversation that night.
That was also why Melanie had been avoiding looking at Matthew. After all, he would remind her of
Howard.
Melanie even wondered. If she had not been so stubborn about investigating her relationship with Matthew, would she be able to face him calmly now?
The conference was quite a disaster for Burning Star Studio.
After the conference ended, Melanie looked at Xander while looking troubled. “I didn’t expect it to
turn out like this.”
Harvey was making things difficult for Burning Star Studio, and Viola played a part in causing that.
Xander said, “Even without you in attendance, Harvey would’ve still made things difficult for us.
Viola just happened to be there. So, you don’t have to blame yourself.”
Just as he spoke, the phone on the table rang. It was from a client in Jepton.
