Chapter 692
Viola no longer bothered to hide her utter hatred and malice or Melanie. She could not bear to see Melanie doing well, and she wanted to take Melanie down from her high perch.
Sooner or later, she swore she would trample Melanie underfoot, once and for all.
Viola’s eyes were filled with poison, but Melanie just stared at her in silence.
Compared to the surging malice in Viola’s eyes, Melanie looked much calmer.
She thought it was a waste of time to compare every little thing. Besides, Viola was now acting like a rabid dog. There was no point in arguing with someone like
that.
Despite that, Melanie still frowned at Viola’s declaration of evil intent. Viola had been watching her carefully, and she caught the slightest change in Melanie’s expression.
Viola thought that Melanie was afraid, so she became even more smug. “I’ve given you a chance. Whether you take it or not depends on you.”
After saying that, she was about to get up, but Melanie finally broke her silence and called out to her calmly, “Viola, wait.”
Viola looked back.
Melanie’s expression was still calm. She held the pen that she had used to record the meeting minutes and spun it from time to time. Her slender fingers looked very relaxed.
Their position were more or less equal, but for some reason, Viola still felt like Melanie was looking down on her.
Melanie’s voice was cold. “It seems like you weren’t focused on learning when you worked with me in the past. When negotiating with others, you must always hide any weaknesses that could be used as leverage against you.”
Melanie spoke calmly, but Viola narrowed her eyes. She had no idea what Melanie was talking about. That person said they would take care of everything for her, after all.
She was about to say something else when footsteps sounded at the door.
Yvette stood at the doorway and looked in, with Eric by her side. “Melanie, aren’t you done yet? Didn’t we agree to go to lunch together?”
Viola glanced at Yvette and forced a smile. She thengritted her teeth and said,

Since your friend is here, I’ll leave now. I’ll also talk to Mr. Grant about Burning Star, too.”
She emphasized the words “Burning Star” a little, but Melanie was unmoved. The Redwaves situation was not something a mere minnow like Viola could decide.
Furthermore, Xander had told her before he left that he would contact the real person in charge of Redwaves.
LeapCo had also thrown their lot in with Burning Star, so Eugene would not let Harvey dictate everything either. He was probably starting to take action.
Therefore, her most important task now was to follow all the changes in Redwaves‘ regulations and make the corresponding adjustments.
Viola left after throwing down some harsh words. After that, Melanie packed her things and followed Yvette and Eric to lunch.
She asked Yvette, “Why did you come back?”
“I was just worried about you. I even made Eric come along,” Yvette said, looking at Melanie curiously. “What was she talking to you about?”
Melanie shook her head and did not say anything. She weighed Viola’s confident attitude in her mind, and her eyes darkened.
Viola had changed. Back then, she would never dare to say anything so bold.
It seemed that she had found a truly extraordinary backer, after all.
No wonder the police officer had sighed.
