Chapter 706
At the end of the conference, Viola’s phone on the table buzzed.
Harvey was talking, so Viola declined the call after glancing at her phone screen.
However, the calls kept coming in. Viola had a hunch it was not going to be something good. She looked at the caller ID from Jepton, and her heart raced. Instinctively, she looked at Melanie.
Melanie had been looking at her, so she was not shocked to see Viola shooting her a glance.
Viola was startled by Melanie’s calm gaze but was unsure why she would react like that. Yvette displeasedly interrupted, “Miss Shaw, can you please answer the call? Your phone keeps buzzing, and even the table is shaking.”
Looking at Harvey, Viola noticed the impatience in his eyes. She apologized and took her phone out of the room.
However, before leaving the door, she stopped and sounded to be in disbelief as she asked, “What did you say?”
Clutching the phone, she looked back at Melanie in fear.
However, Melanie only looked at her calmly.
Viola left the conference room and did not return even when the conference ended.
At noon,
Yvette returned with gossip and looked at Melanie meaningfully. “You look like you knew about this way long before we did.”
“Know what?” Melanie calmly arranged her things.
“Viola is being called to the police station in Jepton. They want her to cooperate in some investigation.”
Yvette clicked her tongue and continued, “Do you know what I saw when I came here? I saw Harvey and Viola quarreling in the lounge. Harvey sounded angry, and Viola was crying.”
Melanie looked at Yvette. “Why was she crying?”
Yvette shrugged. “She was insisting on her innocence. I’m just curious why the police in Jepton gave her a call.”
Melanie did not think she needed to explain. It was her matter, and she did not

want everyone to know about it.
Yvette started analyzing the situation out of nowhere before suddenly becoming silent.
Melanie felt a light shadow covering her. She lifted her head, only to see Eugene standing before her.
He was looking at her calmly as always.
Melanie froze and thought he came looking for her because of Viola.
Then, as expected, he tapped the table in front of Melanie twice. “I want to have a word with you.”
Melanie looked into his eyes calmly and lowered her head. Then, she nodded and followed him.
At a café nearby, amidst the soothing song that was playing in the background, Melanie looked at her cup of coffee as she waited for Eugene to speak.
Eugene’s voice sounded serious and formal. “The date of Jackson’s return to Oskon City has been arranged. He’ll be arriving at the airport at 10:00 am next Monday. Jackson is a man who cares about his reputation and is stubborn.
“As soon as he decides something, you can’t change his mind.”
He was stern and sounded serious.
Melanie did not expect him to discuss this and suppressed her strange feelings. So, we have to grab this opportunity?”
Eugene’s eyelashes fluttered, and he reminded Melanie, “Not we, it’s you.”
Melanie pursed her lips, knowing LeapCo was in a different situation.
LeapCo was a corporation. Even if Redwaves was against Eugene, they would still be respectful because of Cedric.
However, Burning Star Studio had no backers.
Melanie lowered her head and pondered before nodding. “I got it.” Then, she looked at Eugene and said thoughtfully, “Thank you.”
