Chapter 676
Melanie found the situation so ridiculous. She used to wonder why Howard and Dylan, two people
with such contrasting personalities, would get married. Only now did she realize that these two were no different at all. They were both shameless.
People were coming and going in the hotel lobby, so Melanie suppressed her anger. She did not notice Eugene until a shadow loomed beside her. She looked up and met his emotionless gaze. Melanie’s brows were furrowed, but she did not feel that she had said anything wrong.
Instead, it looked like Howard could no longer stand her attitude anymore. When he saw Eugene, his heart heaved as he thought about his company’s recent profits and losses.
“If not his, then whose? Don’t think I don’t know your situation. You’ve been in Jepton for so many years, and you’ve only been with him!”
Eugene looked at Melanie with a raised brow as if he wanted to say something. However, at that moment, the elevator doors opened.
Hugh came out with his suitcase. He paused when he saw the group of people blocking his way. Melanie’s irritation instantly cooled as she looked at Hugh with a faint smile on her lips. “You asked whose child it was, right? It’s his.”
The air around them froze instantly. Howard looked Hugh up and down. He then turned to Melanie impatiently and retorted, “You’ll say anything to deceive me, won’t you?”
Meanwhile, Eugene’s expression darkened directly. He smirked as he glanced at Hugh. He then turned to look at Melanie. Although there was a smile in his eyes, the air he gave off was still ice–cold.
Melanie met their gazes calmly before turning to Hugh and calmly asking, “Didn’t we agree to go back together?”
Hugh was a college student who was dressed casually. He did not look imposing, but he had a habit of keeping a straight face. It made him appear inexplicably aloof. His eyes paused on Melanie’s face before he reached for his suitcase. He pulled it along with him arrogantly.”
“Sorry to inconvenience you. You’re blocking my way.”
Melanie stiffened, not expecting Hugh to be so direct. She watched as Hugh walked past her with his suitcase. Howard sighed. “Melanie, is this really necessary?”
Not only Howard but even Eugene was looking at Melanie. However, the coldness in his eyes receded, and his clenched fists relaxed slowly.

Melanie’s expression turned sour. She thought about how she was going to complain to Yvonne about
poor service. Just as Hugh had walked away dragging his suitcase, he circled back.

Still wearing his usual expressionless face, Hugh stood in front of Melanie and asked, “Why didn’t you try to stop me just now?”

His tone matched his expression, conveying an air of formality. However, Melanie could not afford to think too much. She coughed softly and replied, “How should I have stopped you?”
Hugh stiffened for a moment and then forced out the words awkwardly, “Sweetheart, don’t go?” Instantly, Eugene’s gaze turned as icy as if it had frozen over. It sent a jolt of fear through Hugh.
