Chapter 686
Eugene was invisible to Melanie the entire morning.
While everyone was talking about the coffee Eugene bought everyone, Melanie got busy going through some documents.
Even the usually inattentive Yvette noticed something was wrong. “What’s going. on between you and Mr. Scott? Why do I have the feeling that you’re ignoring each other but he’s trying to ma
amends?”
Melanie did not look up. She did not want to answer Yvette’s question.
Yvette did not mind. She sat down next to Melanie and looked around before saying, “Did you notice that something’s missing today?”
Melanie looked up and Yvette continued, “It’s Viola Shaw. Didn’t you notice that we’re not hearing her fake laughter?”
Yvette rubbed her arm. “It feels like something is missing now that she isn’t around.”
Melanie realized Yvette was right. Viola did not show up today.
However, it made sense because they had already gotten concrete evidence from the footage last night. She was probably still giving her statement to the police.
That afternoon, Melanie received an unexpected call from Stephen. The first thing he told her was, “Quentin Emerson has admitted that Viola was the one who coerced him to drug you. But he made no mention of Mason Gray.”
Melanie paused in her footsteps. “Why is he suddenly admitting to this?”
“He showed signs of admitting it previously, but for some reason, he kept. refusing to confirm anything.”
Stephen had been helping her to follow up on this back in Jepton. Melanie replied, “It’s enough that he’s willing to oust Viola.”
Viola had committed too many crimes. If they were to list everything she did, there was no way Viola could escape.
Stephen did not ask anything further. He told her about the latest news on Dylan, “There’s been some changes with Dylan Lancaster’s situation as well. I showed her those videos from the café, but….
“She heard from others locked up with her that George Chapman has another son out there. This news seems to have broken her, and she’s mentally unstable right
now…”

Melanie felt nothing as she listened to him.
Dylan ended up this way because of the choices she made. It had nothing to do with anyone else.
However, it was still a good thing that Quentin had named Viola in this.
Melanie packed up even faster. Yvette looked at her and asked, “Who was that on the call? You look really happy.”
“It was a friend,” Melanie replied. “I was just given some good news.”
There was suddenly a shadow over her. Eugene was standing in front of Melanie and looking at her thoughtfully. “Come with me later.”
Melanie stopped whatever she was doing. “I’ve said before that it’s not a good idea for me to be associated with you before everything has been settled, Mr. Scott.”
She spoke clearly and determinedly when she repeated those words.
Eugene frowned as he looked at Melanie. He held back his temper and said, ” We’ve gotten results from the car crash incident.”
The car crash.
Melanie looked up at Eugene. The wound on his forehead had healed. Only a pinkish scar was left on it.
Lee happened to look over as well. He looked at Eugene and later toward Melanie as he explained, “That car crash had something to do with Viola too. Mr. Scott feels that it’s best that you should come along because you’re a victim as well.”
Before he could finish, he noticed the sharp glance Eugene gave him. Lee continued seriously, “You should come along because you’re involved in the crash.”
