Chapter 689
LeapCo’s headquarters‘ board of directors was now basically taken over by the Hendersons.
It was clear what the Hendersons wanted, which was why they used the excuse of what happened before to prevent Eugene from returning.
In addition to that, Eugene had missed a very important board meeting. The Hendersons would not let it go.
Lee was silent and did not reply. Eugene guessed the answer but said nothing as well as he walked away.
Melanie returned the hat to Hugh after they walked out, but Hugh pushed it back to her. “Yvonne will come at me with a knife if you catch a cold.”
She looked up at him. “Aren’t you worried I’ll tell her the things you said behind her back?”
Hugh shrugged. “I’m not worried.”
Melanie shook her head and stopped the conversation.
Viola had not been to the conference hall for two days. She did not appear even when Harvey was here.
Yvette knew the reason, and she came to Melanie to criticize Viola’s and Eugene’s actions.
When Eric approached them with two cups of fruit tea, he overheard Yvette bad- mouthing Eugene. He didn’t really catch everything, but he did ask Yvette curiously, “Why are you criticizing him for no reason?”
Yvette did not reply and instead grabbed the two cups of fruit tea from his hands. She asked, “Why are you being so generous today? Look at you, buying us fruit tea!”
“Well, the summit’s ending, and I’m just treating this as an opportunity to make two new friends.”
Yvette looked at the tea with disdain. “Coffee would’ve been better.”
Eric looked at Melanie. “I was considering Melanie’s situation. Just enjoy this tea. My friend made it. There’s no added sugar to it, and it’s room temperature.”
Melanie took the tea. She looked at Eric and asked casually, “Why haven’t we seen Fuller for the past two days?”

“He’s been busy. Do you need anything from him?”
Melanie said thoughtfully, “Does Fuller know Harvey Grant well?”
Eric replied, “Not really. Harvey only started to be in charge this year. Fuller knows his uncle better.”
Melanie looked down thoughtfully. Why did Fuller not mention anything about the electricity being cut off at the laboratory? Something did not feel right.
Even if Fuller was the one behind it, Eugene was his client while she was recommended by Xander. He should have informed them about it.
That was unless he had done it on purpose and it was planned.
However, what would he gain from it?
Melanie did not let Eric know about her thoughts. When the meeting ended that afternoon, Eric invited her out for a meal sometime.
She did not give him an answer. Melanie had been busy with Redwaves‘ proposal, and it was apparent that Harvey and Matthew were working against them.
No matter how many times the proposal was amended, they would still reject it using different reasons.
Hugh waited for Melanie downstairs as usual. However, he did not have great news to share with Melanie.
He said, “I saw Viola Shaw downstairs when I came. She came here in a luxury car and left in Harvey’s car after that.”
Hugh gave this some thought and added, “Could it be Eugene Scott’s car?”
